Seyi Olanrewaju
Ecclesiastes 10:15 KJV
The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of
them, because he knoweth not how to go to
the city.
Proverbs 12:27 NLT
Lazy people don't even cook the game they
catch, but the diligent make use of everything
they find.
Case Study
Collins is a 32 years old
graduate
He’s been an applicant for
some years
Frustrated by his inability to
make money, he’s being
seriously tempted to engage in
vices
By stroke of chance, Collins
met an old childhood friend
Buchi, who is very successful in
business today
After a long session of gists,
Collins asked how life is with
Buchi
Buchi’s story of success was
quite impressive
Buchi in turn asked Collins his
own version of life ordeals
All that Collins could say is that
life has not been fair to him
He opined the following points
as his reasons for not being
successful in life:
His father died without
bequeathing him any fortune
After a long wait for admission,
he was offered the wrong
course in school – zoology
Everywhere he’s attempted
getting a job is fruitless
Nobody is ever ready to help
him
His uncle that promised
heaven and earth disgracefully
chased him away for no
reason
The economy is generally bad
To succeed in the nation, you
must have a godfather
somewhere
The points were really endless…
Buchi responded that his own
story is almost similar to that of
Collins
The only difference is that
rather than looking at the
externalities to achieve
success, he paid attention to
his inner abilities
The meeting abruptly came to
an end as Buchi was called to
attend to an urgent business
matter
Buchi responded that his own
story is almost similar to that of
Collins
The only difference is that
rather than looking at the
externalities to achieve
success, he paid more
attention to his inner abilities
The meeting abruptly came to
an end as Buchi was called to
attend to an urgent matter
Taking a cue from
Buchi’s view, Collins
is thrown into serious
confusion as to
what options he has
in becoming
gainfully employed
given all his own
explanations…
