Everything is in your hands

Is unemployment getting you down?
Did you leave school a long time ago and has never found work?
Are you a parent who can’t afford to pay your child’s school fee?
Are you a student who is not doing well in school?
Take this from me, there is nothing worth more than changing your mindset.
If you didn’t know, then know it now that this world of technology was framed by people who were no smarter than you. What really drove those people to do what they did?
Passion.
Did they fail? Yes, they failed but they never gave up.
What mattered to them was finishing rather than winning.
One of the greatest neurosurgeons (brain doctor) of all times was Dr Ben Carson. He used to get zero as a primary school student.
But do we know him as a failure?
No, we don’t. This is because he never let his past define him.
After reading two books a week, he made it from the bottom of his class to the top in one and half a years.
Carson became an author, and politician and is now the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development under the
Trump Administration.
What excuse do you have? You cannot be doing the same things over and over again and expect a
different result. You either sit back and cry over your past – which you cannot change – or you do something today to change your future.
Your future is in your hands.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
If you believe you can do it, you will do it.
If you believe you cannot do it,you will not do it. So for those of us in this country who are still struggling with weaknesses and problems, you are where you are today because you choose to be there.
Where you will be tomorrow will depend on what you do today, so do your best today to have a better tomorrow.
Success is all in your hands.
Don’t wait for opportunities to knock on your door; go out and create the opportunity you want for yourself.
Be true to yourself, be true to your country.
You were not born to be a loser, but you will become a loser if you decide to.
Everything depends on you.
Are you satisfied with today’s failure or do you want to do something today for a better tomorrow?
