RE: The Next Generation Of Figuring Out Things
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Some are catching on YouTube watching their favourite motivational speaker telling them they can fly to the moon and become astronauts
This part got me rolling🤣🤣🤣🤣, so many of these motivational speakers are funny. There are lots of things on the internet, so we must filter what we want.
Figuring things out is not easy, especially in the world we are presently in. I have never attached much importance to getting a college degree, it is good, but doesn't mean it will make you successful. When I see someone of this generation thinking like our parents I get angry. Their mentality worked for them then but now things are changing and the world is diverse. Education is no longer the key, just another form of exposure. While figuring out things is not easy some people never try their best to do that. Imagine, I have a cousin that just finished university, she's yet to do her convocation but she feels like some jobs are beneath her, she's comfortable staying at home. I pity her, she does know the world has different shades of colour and is not black and white. I can't phantom why someone will be in their last year in college and have no plans at all. This is so bad.
I do wish our parents will realise that we have better opportunities now, and a 9-5 job does not guarantee success but may help a person live ok, if that is even possible. Success is not attached to a particular profession.
You actually watched the video to see that part, sorry I had to laugh a lot, I found it funny just like you found it funny. As for your cousin. The Igbos used to say, a blind man doesn't need to be told that war just broke loose. I think she might marry a person that's rich and might not experience the grey areas of life. But if she doesn't, it's better she begin to seek.
As for degrees and college and all, they're crucial, just that one needs to become something else that's not defined by these titles. Life is bigger and more sophisticated, so we're left with figuring out what we should become, else we might be left out.
