PREPARE
FOR YOUR FUTURE
Life is a preparation for the future, and the best
preparation for the future is to live as if there were none, Albert Einstein,
while Sir William Osler says that
the best preparation for tomorrow is to do today’s work superbly well. Going by
what both men were pointing at here, we will conclude that thorough preparation
for ones future brings about a positive future. However, one must understand
when the future is, at this juncture what one should have in mind is that when
do I start preparation for the Future? To some the future seems to be far, to
some the future is ten years to them, some think their future is when they get
married and finally settle down, can we now agree with this? The answer is
simply NO, We must understand that the future is not far and as a result of
this the preparation for the future must not be later than now, preparation for
the future should not be later than now, because a life which is void of
purpose will not suddenly be purposeful. While many youth think their future is
far from them, I believe that the future is in us, this is simply because the
future resides in the mind, the future is what you think about the next crack
of dawn, therefore there must be preparation for the future and it must be now.
Dear reader, have you started preparing for your
future? Don’t forget that it is what you prepare for that does not catch you
unaware, don’t allow your future to catch you unaware, start your preparation
now, what are those preparations that you need so that you won’t get stranded
when you finally gets to the future, do you need skill? Hurry now and get
skill, you can acquire skill in any skill acquisition centre, your age is never
a barrier to get yourself a good skill that will help to add value to your
future, We are here to add what we can to life, not to get what we can from
life, says Sir William Osler, you are on earth to add value to life, your
footprint must be seen on the sands of time, when you finally pass away from
this scene, acquire all the skills that you will need to achieve it now, before you finally gets to the future, it is a part of the preparation that you will need for the future.
Are you
skilful in an area already, then you need knowledge, when I talk about getting
knowledge, it is not necessarily between the four walls of a classroom, attend
places where you can be impacted, even if not in the classroom, get wisdom. Get
books and read, be an addicted reader, a reader always knows beyond the things
in his vicinity, read very well, so that you will be relevant in the future, it
is never too late to acquire wisdom, your age is not a barrier, i know a
popular artist who graduated with first degree at an old age with one of his
sons, He proceeded to bag his masters degree and his PhD, Today, this man is a
professor in his field, this man achieved because, he was not contented with
his particular position then, he improved himself and was never the same. Don’t
think you are alright with what you have already acquired, there are places
ahead that you can fit in.
Get
connected now, before the future finally comes, there are some peoples that you
need to meet before you finally arrive at the future, try and get connected, it
is a part of the preparation for the future, invest in relationship, learn from
others, pair with visionary men and women who you believe they will be of help
to you, all these are parts of your preparation, thereafter, let God know your
plans, so that He may guide you through, cling yourself to God Almighty, He is
the architect of your life, He owns the master plan of the future, and you must
know that you need him to cope.
Dear
young man, it is a sin to fail to prepare, because the lack of preparation
results to preparing a bed of failure, You must not fail, start your
preparation now, start gathering yourself up for the cost of the preparation, I
want to assure you that once you have prepared, the future is bright for you,
the sky is never the limit, it is the starting point for another phase, some
people have been to that place, you too can be there, prepare for your future,
remain strong.
