Determination

What is your determination? What are your goals? What are your visions and dreams? Do you know them? Or you are just going without a goal. It is very simple to say I need money, but the question is if the money is being giving to you can you control it? Take a look at the food for thought again “The different between impossibility and possibility lies on a person’s determination” that simply mean that whatever you want to be become depend on your determinations and focus.


There a story of a young man who’s family was so poor and none of them was able to finish primary school. This young man was telling his parent that he will attain university level, the parent started laughing saying “we don’t even know if you will finish primary six” what a sad situation. But at the age of 14 the parent manage to sponsor him and finish primary school while his other brothers (elders) has choose a career for themselves by learning various kind of business. The parent approach him of their intention for him to learn Road site Electrician, but he refuse and reply to them that he is determination to be graduate of Accounting. The parent try to confuse him by saying that there is NO money to even sponsor him to the secondary school level. In other for him to actualize his dream he has to go extra mile by doing daily pay job in the village.
To short the story he eventually sponsors himself from secondary school to university and graduate with first class. To the amazement of this boy the day he was coming from National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) the villagers gather themselves and welcome him with a big party because he was the first graduate in that village. And his parent were honoured with a title chief because of what happen.


Looking out this story assuming the boy decided to follow what his parent told him, he could have miss his destiny and honour that was awaiting him and that of his parent. So want is your dream? Are you allowing them to die because there is no means to accomplish them? Be determine to get there, don’t lose hope, keep your faith steadfast and believe in your dreams. The bible say “For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry”. (Habakkuk 2:3)
