No man can single-handedly build a Nation, he needs resources in the way of men, methods and materials. But how can he get others if he doesn't understand the principle of networking? How can he apply the right methods if he doesn't even know what to do? Or how can he gather relevant materials that would enhance nation building if he isn't enlightened?... It then boils down to this, the man that would build the nation must first build himself. I love to put it this way, "Make the man, make the nation".
Growth is not an automatic process, if you will make yourself better, then you must make the decision to pursue growth and experience improvement.
To make something out of yourself, you need to be willing to change, for without change there can be no growth. hence, Personal
development is requires only one price – the price of discipline; its reward
far outweighs its cost.
While studying animal husbandry in school, I was
taught that certain species of fish will grow according to the size of their
environment, put them in a tiny aquarium and they remain small even at
adulthood, release them into a huge natural body of water and they grow to
their intended size. The capacity of human beings are a lot similar - you can become all that you want to be if you will go all out to develop yourself. Make it your goal to grow in
some way everyday. Deliberately surround yourself with a ‘growth
environment’ - Attend seminars, apply for professional courses, listen to
good teachings, read a book or two monthly, spend time with credible people
inspire you and can help you grow, and most importantly, apply what you learn.
The final test of any learning is in its application.
The more you learn, the more you grow. Nigeria needs you to shine out!
