What You Know Is Not Enough Pt 2
There is always a better
St. Jerome
Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best.
Like they say it is easier said than done because talk is cheap. Yes, I know the above statement will come across your mind as you go through this article. But let me inform you there some things you can't do without whether you strive, plan or struggle to improve your life or not. You will always cater for your needs eg food, clothes, shelter, and other basic amenities.
I once told myself that I was not going to bother myself with a college degree. I knew so many persons that were living comfortably well with only a diploma certificate gotten from a notable polytechnic but I never back then that I was only being naive and short sighted.
After acquiring a diploma certificate, I knew that standard I set for myself was only a limitation so I strive for something higher. I went ahead to acquire a college degree and now I realize that the college degree is only but a starting point as there is more to accomplish. You cant settle for mediocre, good is not enough, what you know is not enough, learning never ends, because there is always room for better and best.
Keep moving and pressing on
Confucius
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
That is there is a need to keep improving yourself. You must always strive to be better because your best is never enough. There is always a better from your best, stop lowering your standards to feel accomplished because that is only a limitation for the best to come. Most at times we set standards and when we achieve those standards we become relaxed but I say to you today, when you achieve or accomplish a task or goal, set higher goals. It is only then that you can continue to improve.
There is a lot of time to rest in the grave. Society wouldn't be better and where it is today if others rested as much as you are doing now. You have to keep moving forward whether it is convenient or not because everyone has the same 86400 Seconds, 1440 minutes or 24 hours in a day to either become rich while achieving your dreams or remain by staying stagnant.
There are no impossibilities
Nelson Mandela
It always seems impossible until it's done.
You have to possess a positive mindset or mentality to be able to eliminate the prefix IM from impossible so as to see POSSIBLE and it not only in words but also in actions. You have to first know your goals, plan strategies, implement these strategies, evaluate and re strategize for more goals. Remain in active learning because it's a lifetime goal.
No man is an island, keep learning and remain curious.
