THE FIRST FACE OF SUCCESS

An analysis prepared by Joint Admission Board (JAB) August 2012, shows out of the 47 top KCSE students (2011) from each County: 34 students have their wishes to study Medicine or Engineering. I agree these are some of the best courses parents would love their children to take, but that does not guarantee they will be effective unless they are relaying on areas where their strength lies.Just because the outlook of an occupation is good, it doesn’t mean that occupation is right for you. Stop choosing careers from the ‘best careers’ list, this is what Dawn Rosenberg tells us: Ten Myths About Choosing A Career. Picture this: you have graduated with upper class honors in the field of your choice, unfortunately everywhere you go no one is interested with your papers. The employees are looking for the experienced ones. What will you do? Are you telling me your knowledge can’t be activated unless you are employed? Who will you blame if at all you don’t get employed?Achieving first grades doesn’t mean Medicine and Engineering (just an example) are areas of your strengths. They are just qualifications meaning, you have the capacity to major them. Whatever you do, as long as that is where your passion or talent is, is going to bring out your inner best hence attracting admiration from the public. You will always be unique and more skillful.The number of graduates has been increasing over the years , but why is it that only a few shall be effective even when the rest get employed, they end up being ordinary like the ones we are used to. Does their knowledge lack creativity because it is full of theories? Why should plant seek food yet they are the producers? The main thing that makes people not to be real is the desire to be like others. You are aspiring to follow other people’s ways and styles of success rather than appreciating them. Keep in mind you will never ever be like them, after them there shall be no more.Always have an ambition of achieving like who you are. Your goals should be your desires. There is no need for you to drop out from high school in order to achieve like Richard Branson (CEO Virgin Group). How God leads one to success is totally different from how He is going to lead you. Don’t look down at whatever little you are doing with your heart and think it is worthless, remember … God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and He has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong- 1 Corinthians 1:27. The power of your gift is much greater than highest level of education one can attain, this is what will bring you before great men- Proverbs 18:16.
