You Can Make A Difference Anywhere; Location Won’t Change Who You Are
Africa or Europe, a successful person will be successful. Your location does not determine your personality. I was having a little chat with some youth and then I asked a simple question "If you were in the united states of America, will you be more successful than you are now in Nigeria?" and they gave one reply "Yes".
I have noticed that there are Nigerians visiting so many embassies day by day who assume that if they could just land at the airport of a foreign country, their life would have a drastic turnaround. This has been a major challenge in Nigeria, so many people have the mindset that their fortunes would change in an increasing order if they could only step their foot in a developed country.
A lizard in Nigeria will not become a crocodile in America, a lizard is a lizard.
While we were having our chat, I asked them if they could prove that life in developed countries was easy and a young man replied that he has friends there who send pictures of their life activities. When I heard this I was forced to ask where these pictures are been displayed and just as I thought, it was on social medias.
People who take pictures to show off on social media often take them at the best places even in Nigeria. Finally, when Nigerians eventually get to these places, they then realized they have also had to work there before they could earn.
Your location does not determine your position
Your location does not determine the extent you will go in life. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. It doesn't matter where you are, the same law that guides finance here is the same law that guides finance in developed countries. will you be paid for doing nothing? No.
I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However, I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;For Life is just an employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.I worked for a menial's hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have paid.” - Jessie B. Rittenhouse
You have abundant opportunities around you, everywhere around you. All you need to do is to make impacts in lives.
Life will give you anything you ask of it.
DO NOT FORGET STEEMIT IN NIGERIA (SIN). I WILL BE THERE AND I WANT YOU TO BE THERE...
Thanks to @elyaque for my first badge
If you don't see opportunities within you, you can never see them around you no matter your location
This hit me
A big and great quote
I agree with you completely @phunke, If you don't see opportunities in you, you can't see any around you
Success is a typical factor of what's on your inside. And like I always say, until we have a drift or shift in our current mindset is about life generally, goals, impact, money, politics and love, we the Nigerian youths has a looonnnnggggg way to go.
Success is not affected by your location, it is from inside you
Whether north east south or west, direction or location has never and will never define a successful individual
Black or white, tall or short , able or disable , a successful ambition comes from the heart and stays in the rightful mind for eternity.
Be proud of your location
Location doesn't matter at all when success is in the equation
thats a reality you cant change it
Thanks a lot @sayche. I'm glad you learned something
Your success in life is not a function of your location but a function of your dreams and how you work towards achieving your set goals.
That's true @harbysco.
Nice one @gbenga, location doesn't determine who you are. Deep down, you bring the value along with you, those are your true assets. Some of us may not see this invisible wealth but I see there are a lot in Steemit who see that :)
totally agree, the same goes to those who graduate from famous university or from some good university in well known country. Its not about where they graduated from, but how they use their knowledge to help the community. IMHO
At all its not an option of location
Its a function of you
Infact all those location are result of a great man thoughts
A land full of honey is not about the location but the people
Thanks for sharing
"Your location does not determine your position"
How very true my friend.
Thanks a lot, @coffeeub Regardless of where you are, you can succeed. I believe there are successful people even in the poorest nations of the world
Ones country does not determine their success. I dont kow why nigerian youth think travelling abroad is the solution.we can stay here and make it big. And mostly self nigerian youth travelling abraod gets into criminal activities. Other nigerians seeing their wealth will think it is success. I just shake ny head
That's the point. Your color, height, race or location does not determine your success. You determine your success by yourself.
And as a matter of fact. It is expensive to travel these days. Imagine spending up to a million to travel and you go there to become a taxi driver. Do you know what you can do with a million naira here in Nigeria? Nigerian youths please receive sense
