Read books? You say no.
Listen to podcasts? No.
Surround yourself with intelligent people? You say they’re not from your tribe.. Now, you've found yourself in a room where people are having an intelligent conversation, and for over an hour your only contribution is:
“Wow.”
“Really?”
“Niceeee.”
Then you round it off with, “God help us.”
No, dear. God will help you, but you also have to help yourself.
Stop limiting yourself. Explore. Leave your comfort zone. Make meaningful connections. Everything is on the internet. Follow people who educate you. Read. Learn and Grow.
You can’t keep consuming only entertainment and expect to contribute meaningfully to every conversation.
I hope you listen and you will in Jesus' name 🙄
One decision saved my brother from what could have been the biggest mistake of his life.
During his project defense, a friend of his pleaded with him to escort him to meet someone he had appointment with.
He was one of those guys they looked down on, because life wasn't fair to him. So my brother innocently followed him, thinking the guy was about to secure a job.
When they got out of the vehicle, they started walking through a lonely track, and my brother asked him where exactly they were going.
He said he doesn't even know. That was when my brother noticed he was using Google map on his phone all along to track the location.
Immediately, his instincts told him something wasn't right. He turned back and left, and his friend continued alone.
Three days later, his body was found. Since then, I've never underestimated the power of intuition.
Be mindful of the friends you keep, and never you ignore your instinct.
@Imadove2@hamhamthegem Same thing happened to one of my classmates. She got married to the Basic Tech teacher that taught us from JSS 1 to JSS 3. I don’t even know how that shit happen till today.
