There was an argument I happened to witness in which a group of friends were talking about life and a comment was passed across by one of them which struck my heart and prompted me to write this because life I believe is all about what you believe and what you believe determines your environment and what you make out of the short time you have in life. One truth I have found out about life is no one is born at the top so the top is free for anyone who is ready to pay the prize but the secret is that those who succeed are ones that do the ordinary things in extraordinary way and ones that were able to identify problems and put in efforts towards getting a solution to them. A lot of us today desire to be one of the greatest men and women that ever lived but are not ready to take up responsibilities.
Responsibility to me is being accountable for, You need to understand that you can never achieve anything until you learn how to take up responsibilities no one will understand how much you worth until you show it. Whatsoever you want to achieve today is a responsibility and for you to get to the desired height you need preparation. You have to understand that you build the future you want today, there was this popular telecommunication advertisement in my country that I loved so much one of them was MTN which said "you can achieve what you want to achieve" and then Globacom advert went ahead to say " its all about you". We have always believed the saying that some are just born great but I tell you there is an atom of greatness in every human it is just about YOU. You are the only limitation and the only competition you face is your mindset. Success is achieved when preparation meets with opportunity what everyone know as "luck". One thing is to desire the other is to work ahead of time I wonder why on earth would one want to be something he is not prepared for. Every second of your life is a journey to your destiny and what you make out of it is what determines your position in life.
Let me draw your attention to the fact that intelligence is just a part of the criterias to success but not all you need to succeed. You can die with your intelligence without achieving nothing. Responsible people have character. My favorite book the bible says something "the race is not for the swift nor the battle to the strong neither bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happens to them all".
People who understand the phases of life and prepare accordingly will always get ahead in life. There is a secret to being the master of the universe. My biggest role model Benjamin Franklin one of the greatest men that lived understood time management. Time is life therefore time must be considered the most precious thing that we own. The great thing about time is that we have total control over how it is used. To master time is to take maximum control over your life.
You want to be most influential, popular, richest etc but you do not want to take responsibility, recognize and seize opportunities and make the best use of time and then you will be deceived with a saying " Life is not fair". Understand that everything in life is governed by laws and principles.
Quit existing and start living a life.
