road to<br />
success<br />
As Youths the struggle in between our Visions and their<br />
Actualizations is in the distinguishing between;<br />
a. Relevance to Self<br />
b. Relevance to Humanity.<br />
Now, if these two are realized and dealt with accordingly and in<br />
time, REALIZATION OF VISION will be but common ground for<br />
Youths in this generation. So now let us demystify the subjects we<br />
faced with.<br />
RELEVANCE TO SELF<br />
Feeding, Clothing and other personal welfare cannot be excused in<br />
the daily lives of humans speci cally youths and must in fact be<br />
acquired. But then there is a thin line between working to survive<br />
and working to impact. Over time Youths have worked to survive in<br />
the acquisition of Cloths, Feeds and other welfare materials but have<br />
failed in recognizing that this ought to be but a short moment in our<br />
lives while we anticipate our call to Primarily Impact, hence we<br />
work to survive till we age and die.<br />
You might want to ask the question; But how can one impact<br />
without survival, I will tell you the truth, 'Survival is but an offshoot<br />
of Impact, when the latter is prioritized in the mind'.<br />
A Banker who is looking at Impacting his generation will not barely<br />
wake up and run to work with just his scheme of work in that<br />
particular bank in mind to achieve but will start to dig deep into<br />
possible systems by which the Bank Industry as a whole, can be<br />
reformed to t current demands from customers thereby setting<br />
himself up for an innovative recognition, which is key to promotion<br />
in that particular bank and even recognition at the State and<br />
National level, depending on how far he is looking and what he is<br />
looking to see.<br />
A youth who is 'relevant to self ', whether he aspires to be such or<br />
not, is one who barely wants to be rich without de ning the source<br />
to that riches. It is in this generation you nd children and<br />
Teenagers who are more conversant with What they want to HAVE<br />
other than What they want to DO, basically misplacing, and<br />
mistaking both for each other. Now a society with a yesterday of<br />
such Children and Teenagers, have inevitably produced a today,<br />
with a bunch of youths, myopic and sel sh in vision'.<br />
'Relevance to self ' as we have therefore understood above, is a trap of<br />
poverty and smallness clothe in the fake attire of 'e Products Of<br />
Relevance To Humanity', hence many is a victim of the disguise,<br />
rendering them almost useless to the 'SELF' they were trying to<br />
protect and cater for, a forehand'.<br />
e matter however, is not out of hand yet, as reading this now, is a<br />
proof of your desire to be great. To Impact is an inevitable route to<br />
greatness, so follow me.<br />
RELEVANCE TO HUMANITY<br />
Reading from top, I believe you must have made a choice between<br />
'Relevance To Self ' and 'Relevance To Humanity', so let us go on a<br />
journey through the latter.<br />
To make Impact is to be relevant to Humanity, but at a glance, this<br />
may seem really ambiguous. You must be thinking by now, ' But how<br />
can I handle the idea to be relevant to Humanity as a whole, when as<br />
a matter of fact, I have only been exposed to but a small part of the<br />
world, thereby in uenced by just a particular Race and Tribe?'<br />
Well, I got an answer to your question;<br />
God, did not design man to be relevant to the whole world, and even<br />
God himself as Almighty Creator of Heaven and Earth designed a<br />
manual (the Bible), for man but never trampled on man's Self Will,<br />
hence just a fraction of humanity accords the Bible, a worthy<br />
manual for life. Relating this to You also, your vision for relevance<br />
cannot be useful to every human on earth but when you succeed in<br />
that vision you can be recognized by all of Humanity, marked by an<br />
achievement. For example, Michael Jackson is a musician whose<br />
music is not relevant to some pastors and Christians, yet the same<br />
pastors and Christians even without patronizing him, recognize<br />
him because he has succeeded in his vision and hence is marked by a<br />
musical achievement. is takes us to what I term; MARKING<br />
YOUR TERRITORY.<br />
For you to have yourself the ful lment of a year well spent and gain<br />
momentum, You must begin to draw structures that renders you<br />
relevant to a class of humans, directly/indirectly in need of your<br />
acquired Skill and Talent, by this you have marked and mastered a<br />
territory of in uence, which in the long run, you will be recognized<br />
by.<br />
