By the way,
Just so we are clear;
NYSC Corpers should be paid at least 100,000 naira per month.
Many of these people need the money to take care of families, start small businesses, take professional exams and kickstart their lives.
It’s an insane scandal that they earn less.
But one of the problems with conversations like this is that you will still see one corper idiot that will come here to defend their own underpayment and exploitation.
Just give this tweet an hour.
11. YIELD TO AN HIGHER POWER
Hold your "Chi" well. I ascribe every strength I was able to draw in my down times to the one that Yahweh ascribed me.
You cannot adult successfully on your own, find your Higher power. Yield totally.
Jesus is my Higher power.
I am rooting for you❤
I have battled depression twice and what got me out every time was gratitude.
I'd grab my pad and pen down 15 random things I was grateful for. I'd do it daily.
I'd go out and decide to overpay a hawker or a commercial motorcyclist. Kindness.
They were my "I feel good" moments
10. START EVERYDAY WITH KINDNESS AND GRATITUDE
Remember how I spoke about how every man must have "I feel good" moments? Don't underestimate the power of those moments.
Kindness and Gratitude gives you doses of those moments on a daily.
GO OUT.
Get a gym membership, be a part of social clubs, join a religious body for young people, anything.
Go out, meet people, sell yourself.
Be intentional about not being a parasite who seeks to use people. Be intentional about providing value.
You'll find your audience
