MESSAGE TO YOUTH

Author: Billy Harry T. Sesay

“Never make someone a priority when you are only an option”

True words are hardly spoken. Therefore, the less you associate with people of positive mindset the more your life will improve, and anytime you tolerate mediocrity on others, it increases your mediocrity as well. A common attribute to any successful people, is their disassociation with negative thinking and negative acting people.

In the path of growth, your association and interaction with others will change, some of your friends would not like seen you progressing, and they would want you to stay where they are. Friends who do not wish to see you climb up would want you to crawl; they will stretch your vision or suffocate your dream. Those who do not help in improving your life will eventually decreases you.

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:

NEVER RECEIVE COUNSELING FROM UNPRODUCTIVE PEOPLE.

Never discuss your problem with people incapable of contributing to solution, because those who NEVER succeed are always the first to discourage your zeal to success.

Not everyone has the right to speak into your life, you are certain to get the worst out of bad deal when you exchange ideas with wrong people. Do not follow anyone who moves not. Remember to invest in your mind and spent good time with positive and creative minds.

Be careful where you stop to ask for a direction along the road of life, for wise is the person who fortifies his/her life with right friendships. Therefore, if you run with wolfs you will learn how to "how'd" but if you fly with eagles you will definitely go for higher height. A mirror reflects a man's face but his true identity is shown by the type of friends he chooses, the simple fact of life is, you become like those people to whom you closely associate with either for good and bad.

The logic of success and happy life is applicable to family as well as friends, YES!! Do love and be appreciable to your family for they will always be your family no matter what, just know that they are also humans although they are family to you, but they are friends to someone else which makes them fit somewhere in the criteria above. In prosperity, our friends know us, in adversity we rather know our friends. Never make someone a priority when you are only an option.

If you are wishing to achieve success in big things develop the habit in doing little matters. In the words of Mather Teresa, “we do not need to do great things, but little things with great love”. Excellence therefore, is not an option but a prevailing attitude.
