Of recent, I have heard a lot of fellow youths say “education
o jawo!” some have even gone to the extent of saying they regret ever coming to
school! Like seriously? Are you really serious?!! The most pathetic thing is
when you ask them why? They’ll start quoting how Bill Gates did not go to
school, how Mark Zuckerberg is a drop out and how Neymar didn’t see the four
walls of school, OMG!!! Are you for real? Is that how far your six can take
you?
One major important thing you’ve all failed to take
cognizance of is the fact that these guys found a purpose for their lives with
education (no matter how little) as the background foundation, you’ve all
failed to know that Mark got admission into Harvard University, one of the
world’s best University and he didn’t just drop out, he “dropped out” knowing
fully that he has a couch to fall on, should he fail in the pursuit of his
dream in which he found a purpose. Don’t also forget that Bill Gates is still
on leave of absence at the same University (Harvard) so you see the role of
education? Note that Education is not an end in itself but a means to an end,
so if you let go of the means you might not get the end.
What is your purpose? You don’t know? Then look for one,
find yourself a purpose, give yourself a sense of belonging, everything is not
money, money will come when you have a purpose because purpose itself attracts
money. Find yourself a purpose, look for people’s problem(s) and struggle to
provide solution to it and let people know you for something, yes! Let them
know you for something, we know Zuckerberg as the founder of Facebook, Bill
Gates micro-soft and Neymar footballer, so what do people know you for? A
liability or an asset? You don’t necessarily have to be a founder or pioneer,
but you can be actively part of something. FIND A PURPOSE!!!
