Everything Tech and Social

It was in primary school and I had been unfortunate enough to be made 
the Primary Boys Prefect. Unfortunate because my school was in a 
pre-dominantly Ga community and the boys in it were ruthless in dealing 
with those who crossed them. And cross them, I did on a regular basis. 
My ability to best them at the books did not come with an ability to 
surpass them physically. They were fierce, bullish and brutal. A part of
 my duties as Prefect was to write the names of those who spoke 
vernacular. One day after causing some of them to be punished, they 
ambushed me after school and gave me a good beating. I threw more 
punches but hit no target. I exerted more energy but still came away 
with a defeat. As I think about this incident, I recognize that most 
people are living their lives like the way I fought that battle. They 
are throwing more punches but hitting no target, exerting more energy 
but achieving little results. So how do you avoid living this way? First
 of all, get CLARITY. Define exactly what it is that you want out of 
life. What target do you want to hit? Secondly, muster COURAGE. 
Arguably, the main reason I lost that fight is because I couldn't muster
 the courage to throw my punches at my target. Like me, most people know
 what target they want to hit. Unfortunately, they are afraid to throw a
 massive punch at it because of the possibility of failure. Whatever 
goal you have this year, go for it! Next, CONSTANCY. Don't just hit 
once. Keep hitting. Keep working on your idea. Continue sharpening your 
gift. Dedicate yourself to your dream until it finally manifests. Don't 
be like the Biblical King Josiah who failed to extend his dominion 
because he failed to continue hitting the target. And when all fails, 
stage a COME-BACK. Never, never, never, never, never, never give up!
