Wish
I knew
I wish I knew then what I know now.
Formal schooling has an end; education is for life.
1.
Finding the
purpose. I wish I knew my purpose.
Why don’t we teach the youth to find their purpose earlier in life? Detect your
purpose and live a fruitful life.
2.
Taking more
responsibility. I wish I took more
responsibility. Why don’t we teach the youth to take more responsibility
earlier in life?
3.
Having a
mentor. I wish I knew the value of a
true mentor. Why don’t we teach the youth the value of a true mentor? A mentor
can see in us what we cannot see for ourselves.
4.
Growing up
quickly. I wish I nurtured more the
kid inside. Why don’t we teach the youth to nurture the kid inside them? Is the
person you are today proud of the kid you were then?
5.
Being bolder. I wish I became an entrepreneur sooner. Why don’t we
teach the youth about entrepreneurship? Security is no longer in a job;
security is in building ourselves and our own businesses.
6.
Say no more
often. I wish I said no more often.
Why don’t we teach the youth to say no to the good to pursue the great? It is
better to stay home than to hang out with the wrong crowd.
7.
Having time and
money. I wish I knew the value of
investing time and money. Why don’t we teach the youth that the only way to
have time and money is to stop spending and start investing them. Invest in
self above all else.
Will you join my cause to fight
mediocrity in the world? Pass these nuggets on to others.
We make a living by what we get;
we make a life by what we give. Be a giver in a world of takers.
Be blessed and be a
blessing to others.
