According to an Old Greek Proverb, " All things good to know are difficult to learn"

SAMUEL OLOMU

I'm Samuel Olomu. Sometimes life requires attention. The level of your attention exerted towards life will determine what is achieved by it.I want to relate my experience about " all things good to know are difficult to Learn". I would not like you see this as a show off but rather you see it in an opposite phase which will help receperate and expunge some misdoings which has become a way of doing things in our respective lives. 

I was enrolled in the village private school which was regarded as the best in the vicinity. My average parents at the beginning of every school session will purchase all the materials I needed as a student and there after struggle to pay my school fees. With all this I still find it hard to believe one of the best in my class. My performance was sometimes, not even an average. I participated in the school's entrance examination and I was part of the best twenty students out of hundreds that sat for the exam, but still not the best. I was greatly taken aback that my name could at least manage it's way to be one of the best in the Common entrance examination. I felt achieved.

We soon graduated to the Junior Secondary School where I finally realized my mysteries. There was a boy whom was enrolled from a public school in our village, his name, John. John though attends a public school where everyone believes less is taught has came second in the first term examination then in JSS 1. I will let you know that the kind of school you attend doesn't have any effect on your brain or your heights in life but the utmost veracity is that personal development is the key and also when you learn to learn what is good to know. Though very difficult but your sweats counts your success. I was greatly shocked by the success of John though I also did well to some extent. I was in the eighth position. On getting home this fateful day, my mum collected and went through the report card. Her first remark was "boy you tried". I was... Somehow I felt encouraged, then she continue to ask who was the first position in our class. I told her everything and mum and I soon began to diverge the meeting into a question and answer session. She asked; " how many heads do those people have?", " Can't you also be like them?". Her words met me at the right moment. I was sobered and I promise her to give in my possible best next time.

I began to do the secret behind everyone's success. I bethroated my books. I read all days, I set a goal, I learnt the virtue of hardwork and at last I arrived. At the end of the JSS 3 second term. I was announced at the School's end of the year celebration as the overall best student in the Junior Secondary level. My mum was very happy and pleased with this. I received my gifts and was filled with an unusual Glee and ovatory jacked m as I walk with a majestic fluant. At last I achieved my set goals.

What it takes to be great or achieved may not be easy but you have to keep on as your sweats counts your success.

My comment: The great investor Charles F.Kettering Said; "The price of progress is trouble".

By- Samuel Olomu

I think I agree with Kattering's assessment of progress. The human association generally is based on the general notion of conflict which holds that the social order is maintained by domination and conformity. Human being in general is vulnerable to conflict or trouble in one way or the other. In drama we call it the bone of contention. Regretfully, human life is a stage of trouble and conflict and there is no way to attain progress without paying the price which is trouble.

It is partinent to state progress as the movement towards a refined, improved, or otherwise desired state. It could mean in the context of progressivism the advancement in technology, science and social organization which is as a result of direct human action i.e through activism, social contribution, or as a natural part of socialcultural evolution. Progress is often attainable by much efforts, activities and deeds of human. 

Generally, we can say nothing happens without efforts. The effort you exact on a particular thing will determine the progress it will yield and vice versa.

Let's make example of the French Revolution that began in 1789 and ended the late 1790s with the ascent of Napoleon Bonaparte. Back then, the French people wanted their freedom from the French Monarchy and the poor economic policies of king Louis XVI, who later met his death by guillotine. The concern of the French citizens to raze and redesign their country's political landscape, removing the centuries old institutions such as absolute monarchy and the feudal system which as a result caused the upheaval. The French citizens paid the trouble price. Many of them lose their lives and properties. About 2,639 people died in Paris. About 50,000 were shot , or died of sickness in the prisons but at last they achieved what they wanted . They sacrificed for their freedom and it was at last their lot.

In conclusion, nothing comes or happens without a trouble price being paid. What we should glean from the words of Charles Kattering is long suffering. Never go back at the course of achieving your targetted goal, do not give up, be insistent and the progress will surely come.

TODAY'S CHARGE

 "You must do the thing you think you cannot do"_ Eleanor Roosevelt

Today I will be changing us from the word of Eleanor Roosevelt. I will begin by saying there is Ability in disability. What you think is not attainable depends on your ability, your efforts and your agility. The best way to get things done is by putting effort. Nothing is achieve without you paying the price.

Human being sometimes gets derailed in their thinking. "I think I cannot move mountains", "I know I cannot make it", "I believe I cannot win". Our thinking sometimes limits our ability. If we believe that the unattainable can be achieved then we will perform no-mean feat but if otherwise the result will be the case. This is somehow related to the biblical teaching of FAITH which could mean believe, ability in disability, hope, etc.

There are some misconception about the teachings of faith. We think something impossible will never be impossible. Though the thing in the real sense is impossible but we don't want to break even. We leave the impossible to continue to be impossible. Put effort into what you consider hard to you. Though it may not be easy but I will let you know your effort sometimes speak for you. For example as a student who had exams and have burn the midnight candle. Even though he may not have deep knowledge about the subject but at least will be totally different from someone who had slept all the night saying "I don't know it".

Things you should glean to;

*Never give up. Giving up is not the best option for you. You can still get there.

* Put more efforts the best will surely come.

* Be wise.

Today's Charge

We don't live to eat, we only eat to live

Don't base your whole life or the whole of your income on what to eat. Even the Bible says do not make anxiety for tomorrow, for tomorrow... This may not be true in real human sense as a failure to plan will lead to a plan unachieved.

Some spend 70 percent of their monthly income on foodstuffs which ought not be so. I will let you know an unwise man spends lavishly, an average man manages but a wise man invests. And not all investors are wise because some of them invest in food 😃😃😃

TIME

There are three stages in life. Childhood, Youthful age and adulthood. My question now is that how far are you utilizing your time. In this post I will be narrating a story of a man who at a Youthful age was thinking about becoming a lawyer. He was a student of the humanities. 

Mr Jane while still in school is a vibrant, hansome and very intelligent. Though he came from a poor and humble background. He never allow this to bridge a gap between his education. He never allow his lowly background to rule his sense of reasoning. In short, he planned on becoming a lawyer. After his secondary education, Mr Jane was unable to take part in the proceeding exam of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB). Since his parents are poor and cannot afford sending him to the university. He braced up to work in a manufacturing factory near his house that any thing he sees from there he will save to sponsor his education. After the first year, his dream was a no-reality. The second year passes, nothing happened. Till now when he is now old with four children. What an aborted dream.

He spend all his money on food and maintenance. I will let you know; we don't live to eat, we only eat to live. The different between you and your dream is the effort you assert in achieving your dreams. If you don't put an immediate effort then a journey of 10 days will turn a ten years journey as the children of Isrealites has suffered on their way to the promise Land.

Manage your time. Time management and proper planning is what it takes achieve a set goal. Best regards.
