Entrepreneurship is the Key

When I grow up, I want to be a star, I want to be on television, I want to be popular, I want to drive flashy cars , I want time for my kids, I want beautiful cars and the list goes on and on and on is all that comes to the mind of a growing child. Our wants are limitless and we keep adding to the list whenever our eyes permits us to see something glorious. We suffer not much; thinking life will play its course and give us the fortunes we deserve and yearn for. We entrust our future to our parents who are seen as superstars during our growth.

My Daddy Is a Superhero

I actually believed my father was capable of anything in this world. I believed he was the strongest man on earth and that if anyone cheated me, the person would have to answer to him. I remember on one occasion that made this feeling more real was when I was in Primary 4 in my early schooling days. One afternoon, I returned home crying after going to school and having a 2 hour extra classes lesson. My bag was torn with my books in my arms and tears on my cheek. I looked very miserable. After the classes as I went home, I had a company whose name is Adu Adjei. He was a fat bully and we stayed in distant communities. At the point where we would each divert individually to our homes, he held me and wanted me to escort him home. I was true to my words of not following him but my bag and body suffered for that decision

The following morning, I returned to the school with my father who made sure the boy was severely punished and that he wouldn't do that again. I was more than happy to see that action in place. I had more trust in my father and I believed every bit of what he said to me from then. Indeed it's good to believe in your father. They know very much more than you do and have lived the life you are likely to live.

It's the Time for Entrepreneurship

If you dont want to end up exactly the same position as your father, then you have to do more than what your father tells you to do. The age for white collar jobs are coming to an end. Most parents will advice you get a white collar job as do mine but I find this advice slightly out of order. White collar job indeed will give you something good to live on, barely enough to survive on.

The time has come when staying home and working gives much more profit and productivity than moving outside into an aircondition room and working. I was sad when I went to an office to fill out some forms. The whole staff excluding the manager had a whole day break. I asked them the reason and to my biggest surprise, it's always like that. They are actually wasting their talent by sitting dusk. Though they get paid, there is no legal way to increase their income by being extra productive.

My advice this morning is, being a good boy or a good girl is good. Do not forsake your education but add skills to them. The world is evolving and those with the proper skill sets are likely to survive. Have a wonderful day.
