Literature/Writing » WORK NOW THAT YOU ARE YOUNG by: Gooddypye(f) .:. Sat, 09 Mar, 2019 - 02:31:59:pm GMT
There are five stages in the human life. As a human you are expected to pass through this five stages before death. And every of this stages has levels and steps you take. If you jump over any of the steps needed in any of this stages, the consequences awaits you in the next stage. I will emphasize much on the first to fourth stage.

STAGE ONE
The stage of birth to growing into an adolescent
When you were born. You were born as a child who is yet to sit, creep, stand or walk. But a certain time comes where you take this steps one after the other.

Firstly, you started sitting without no guide laid around you.

Secondly after some months, you started crawling. You started creeping. This time around you could crawl to anywhere. But you are yet to stand.

Thirdly after some while, you started holding on to objects to stand. And very well in some weeks you begin standing without relying on anything.

Fourthly, you start taking some steps to walk. But at time you fall. But within some months you start walking perfectly.

This are stages we pass through as child. And none of this stages can be aborted but must be attain before the next. Now, you've become a grown up child, you can talk and do lot of things but in all this, you are alwAys under supervision of someone just to make sure you don't hurt yourself. Just to make sure you are safe. In this stage of life, you have nothing trouble about. You go to school, learn but has nothing worrying about, all worries still lies on your parents. All decisions are still made by them.

THE SECOND STAGE OF LIFE
The stage of adolescent. This stage is also known as the parental stage. The stage whereby you begin to develop into an adult. This is mostly the stage of development. And this stages has stages also.
We have the Genitalia stage
The pubic Hair stage
And The breast development stage.

All of this stages are meant to be passed through by every individual. This is the stage of adolescent, at this stage some adolescent make decisions of their own but not on what is very relevant. In this stage you are still young, but you want to know what is happening around you, you want to be part of the majority. You want to do what the majority are doing. At this stage you have so much joy of who you are becoming. The joy of breast some girls will be growing. Imagine they now have burst and can now wear what their elders are wearing. At this stage all you want to do is what others are doing. That is why there are so much cases of adolescent pregnancy. Cause they want to be part and they are yet to have the understanding of all this sexual activities. They want to belong.
Even with the fact that you have developed hair, breast and genitalia. You are still yet to be considered an adult. So, it is believe that your parents are the ones who has to make decision over you for anything. Your future still lies in the hands of your parent.

THE THIRD STAGE

The stage of being a youth. I call it the youthful age. I consider this stage to be age 18 to 30. Once you are eighteen, you have many legal right. Maybe you might not know, but you have the right to make decision of marriage. The right to marry. The right to driver license. And lot more... This is one of the very critical stage in a human's life. Ayotunde wrote a book he titled 30 things you must do before you are 30. I recommend you read that book. The truth is, at this stage, the decisions you make will affect your other stage. Believe it or not. This is a stage where you can now make your own decisions. The stage you can do whatsoever you wish. This stage could be interesting but if you are not careful, you will regret the rest of your stages with just a mistake from this stage. This stage can be very interesting but dangerous. If what you are supposed to do at this age is not done. Then you have really made a wrong mistake. And you know life is only going forward. You can't turn back the hands of time. Let me brief you some of those things you should do before you are thirty.

You must at least have a degree.

 
You must be engaged if not married.

 
You must have polished your talents.

 
You must have severed parental influence.

 
You must have a stable source of income.

 
You must have written your obituary.

 
You must have invested big time.

 
You must have gotten your idiosyncrasies.

 
You must have heard from God.

 
You must have overcome a habit.

 
You must have attended thirty funerals......
It might seems funny but the truth. When you fail to work at this age. You will work at the stage of your grey hair. And tell me how do you tend to reap your labour when you are already working at the extreme of your life. This is the stage you make sure you have a career. Make sure you have a foundation. Make sure you already have something doing. The stage you make your foundation.


THE FOURTH STAGE
At this stage. I consider it age 30 to 50. This is the stage of accomplishment. The stage you build on your foundation you laid earlier. The stage you save. You work harder. This is a stage you make more investment and generate more income. If you didn't achieve anything at the earlier age, you struggle to achieve some in this stage. You have to marry. You have to start studies. Instead of you to be accomplishing, you are building. Instead of you to be investing more and earning, you are still at the beginning. Trying to write jamb at age 30. If what you are supposed to do before 30 is not done, you will do it with struggle after 30. And I tell you. Your accomplishment towards that will never be as when done at before 30. Don't use your gray hair to work. Use your gray hair to enjoy. This stage is a stage you invest, train your children to school. Build good career for your children. Not you building career for your self. You had the opportunity but didn't make use of it. So, it's a time you build for your children.

And we all know the Last stage. The stage of old. The old adult stage. The stage you are to reap. The stage you are to sit back and relax. The stage of retirement. 


Have you seen a man of 65 years old being a cab driver? Yes... I've seen one if you haven't. Is he supposed to be at that stage? A man of such age being the chairman of garage boys. Instead of relaxing at home. He always on the road shouting and nagging for money. Why? He had failed to build at the right time. This is a stage you are not meant to overstep yourself rather rest. But because the youthful age has being wasted. We tend to work with gray hair. I recommend you read 30 things you must do before you are thirty. Be inspired.

Lovely quote and interesting advice for the young ones and the upcoming generation, this is very broad but it’s worth it, people need to learn about this and know the value of the stages in their life, as every one has the morning stage, a state where you’re below 18, that we are still under the guidance of our parents, then we have the afternoon stage a stage of responsibility this is when we are from 18 to 50 where we become responsible for our actions and determine whether we will become a success tomorrow, or a failure, then we have the night stage, from 50 upwards this were we enjoy our accomplishment or suffer as a result of our laziness or carefreeness, so my advice to young ones is work now while you have the strength, reach your highest potential now when you have the ability to do so, achieve that dream, build that house, hustle now, strive hard to make it, go to school become great in life because time is limited, build your empire quickly and of course with wisdom, there’s no time, be smart be bold and be courageous, even the holy book said work now while it is day for night comes where no man can work, the day of your youth is the days of your strength use it to accomplish your dreams otherwise you’ll have to work in the days of your rest that’s the night time of your life so I encourage us to be wise in making our decisions!!! The way you make your bed is how you lye on it!!!

That's true... This is really motivating. This is to remind us that the youthful age is the stage where you can work hard. Youth are full of strength, courageous and wise. The reason your mother can not do those hard works you do at times is because she is old and weak. The reason your younger ones call on you to help them is because they still have a soft bone. You are the strength of a home, a nation. Let's rise as a youth and work. Let's make investment because a time is coming you will want to walk and you will find it difficult to. Not because you are sick but because you are old. 


I watched a movie which lesson was similar to this and bit really taught me a lot. I started making plans. I started making plans to invest. It was a story of a man. Who in his youth age was wealthy. He likes flexing and he even after he married he was still flexing till he got a lady pregnant but didn't marry. The lady took care of the pregnancy herself till she put to birth. She got another pregnant too. It was same thing. He didn't care to train his children to school. He was enjoying himself, going to clubs and going after women. 

After some years, he was becoming old. He fell into debt which he paid with some of his houses. And as days went things became harder till he lost everything he had except a car and his only one left house. He became a taxi driver just to feed. And starting looking for ways to prosper again. But no way except his children will take care of him. But where are the children? Some are thieves. Cheap thieves. Some are very useless with nothing upstairs. No education. No work. They know nothing. Some even seek their father for food. And that was how the man suffered. He made attempt of money ritual but he was vindicated and ended up in jail.

You can work now... You can be rich now. But if you don't manage your investment very well, you will loose them before night. If you don't invest more, you will finish that which you have. The Holy book says, more she be given to those who have and those who don't, that which they have shall be taken. So, tell me how do you have more when you don't work more.

 At the age of one to sixteen, your parents will always try to make decisions for you even though your opinion will matter they still make major decisions for you. At the age of seventeen you are groomed to begin to understand life much better, you can make decisions. You can differentiate between what's wrong and right . At the age of seventeen , you already have alot of dreams you wanna achieve. This is why its important to take your time and dream. 

     Once you are eighteen, you're finally an adult with alot of legal rights; the right to vote, drive and drink. At the age of eighteen if you commit a crime you go to jail. It is very important to work at a very young age. When you work and achieve your plans and dreams at a young age, when you grow older you have a lot of time to explore, enjoy and have fun because you've already achieved your dreams.
         From a young age, you begin to learn alot even though you don't know enough. Life is all about learning anyway. You've been groomed to be patient and prepare yourself for when things get rough.

            Have you ever seen aged people work hardly this days? And you will now keep wondering where their children are? if their children are actually responsible? but most times, if you listen to their story, it is always the aged person's fault, probably he or she joked with her their young days and never took adequate care of their children, and probably their children's life are equally not balanced yet talkless of taking care of them. There is a proverb that says "Make hay while the sun shines" It is also related to working while you still have the strength to work. Work now that you are not yet aged because when a person becomes aged, he or she has looses strength and vitality to work as he ought to. The old age is suppose to be a time of harvest, of reaping all that you have sowed during your young days and that includes work.
        I personally don't like seeing old people work tirelessly when they have children but most of them didn't pay the necessary sacrifice at the right time and so they had to start working at that old age of theirs in other to sustain themselves. 
         Every young man and woman out there, don't be lazy, start working now, if you don't want to work when you ought to be resting. Do something, don't just be idle thinking that there is still time, there is no time, work now with your black hair and don't use your grey hair to work because then it is usually filled with regret, but working now will give you a sense of fulfillment and help you accomplish things in life, than working when you are old.

Work now that you are young, at young age you  need to work  harder because of the  time  you won't be able  to  work is coming. At young age if is apprentice work you are learning face it squarely and learn it if your parents  are unable to sponsor you on education then try and learn a hand work, and master it correctly so that  when  you  are free you will be able to  do things your self. If it is school  you are going face your  study perfectly  and study hard so that  at the  end  you will be useful  to  your self and the people around  you, as a  student  you need to work hard  when you  are  still young in other for you to come  out in a flying  colors because  if you  work  hard  now you will  enjoy  it later in the nearest future. At young age  you can move  from  one  place to another do different types of things  but a time is coming when  all these  things you do at young age will not be perfectly Done again, so as a rational human being  you need to work at young age and take  a  rest in the future.

Jesus said in John 9:4  I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. Work should be done deligently when it's daytime because naturally at night the human body will be less active. In life there are stages in the life of man and it's important to give ones best to work when the person is still young so as to be able to enjoy the old age. This is not to say that a young person should work his or her off till the health is damaged, it simply means a young person should give his or herself to productive things so that he or she will leads a excellent life.

So many youths like to think that there is enough time to work when they fully grow, well humans think differently but the best time I know to sow diligently into work is in the youthful age so as to have a good life in the old age. Activeness will reduce as old as a person gets because the bones will get weak biologically. 
Not working diligently in the youthful age while it is day will make you a liability in the old age which is the night because you didn't make adequate preparation for the night when you wouldn't be very active.

To work while it is day will require determination of the mind because the mind is a very important tool for excelling in life. The thoughts of the mind influence the character of a person and the character of a person has a role to play in the zeal towards work. The thoughts goes further to shape mans perception to living and that also can affect the input of a person to work. A wrong perception to life such as a poverty mindset will water complacency and laxity, which will take off the attention of man from doing productive things. It's better to work at ones best capacity while in the youthful age as it's daytime because the law of seed time and harvest holds all through the stages in life just as it is in Ecclesiastes chapter 3:1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.

Work while you are young

This is the best piece of advise anybody can give. The young age is a time to work not the old age. If you have a dream start pursuing it while you are young.

Developing a strong career, starting a business or achieving whatever dream you have is not just a day job it takes time and effort. This time is what you have when you are young, you have a lot of time ahead of you so why not start the journey to your dreams early. This way you achieve it early and you'd get to eat the fruit of labor early and continuously till your old age, if you wait till your old age, time is not on your side and at that point you are growing weak. The strength you have in the days of your youth cannot be compared to that of your old age. When you are young, you have all the strength necessary to run around and make things work.

A young mind is also very creative. One of the benefits of working while you are young is that you have a whole lot of ideas at your disposal. At this point you can brainstorm as much as you want without fear of being disturbed by stress and diseases of the old age - you accept the stress easily and you are ready to bounce back the next day hale and hearty

When you start working when young, if you fail, you learn and still have time to try again. Remember when you fail, it is your first attempt in learning, do not let it weigh you down, move on by working harder.


"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas Edison

When you are young and working, you can fail and learn. At this point you have fewer responsibilities except for those who had to take on the responsibility of taking care of their family due to loss of loved ones.

Finally, when you are able achieve your dreams, you generate income and climbing the ladder of success to the top, it is necessary to apply wisdom. Especially the money generated - spend wisely. It is one thing to have it and another to know how to sustain it. Make investments and make connections with people.
 
So, generating income, achieving your dreams and being sucessful when you're young is not going to be a walk in the park but it would be worth doing when you are young and strong.

Youths should work now and stop engaging in frivolities that will not add value to their life. It is sad that there is moral decadence in the land. as a result, we should not only tell our youths to work, but we must stressed that they engaged themselves in legitimate business and not internet fraud and other social vices. Nigeria must wake up and re-orient the youths on the importance of positive values.

Parents should learn to create and spend time with their children. Train them well and put them on the right track so that they will not bring bad image to the community and Nigeria at large. Today, it is difficult to be prove of this nation because of the ills in the land. But we pray for better days.

Together, we can do it if we are passionate about it and truly desire change. Let's act now and reap the fruit of our labour promptly.

The Bible says: “ the glory of the youth is in their strength…”. This is evidence that the youth stage of anyone’s life is a stage of vibrancy. You have the strength to dream and work. You have the energy to set goals and achieve them. You have the strength to think big and not be limited by anything. 
This is the stage where you get to live life on your terms with little or no input from anyone cause everyone believes you are old enough to know what you want and think for yourself. You are now a “big boy or big girl”. The decision on whether to make it in life or not is being made at this youthful stage. The decision to follow a career path is being made in this stage. The ability to work long hours and earn money is usually on a high side when you are younger than when you are older. You believe you want to do better than your parents, achieve more than they have and also provide a better future for your own children.
So work. Channel that strength, vibrancy into working. When I say working, I’m not boiling it down to just corporate jobs. You can be your own boss. Your youthful stage presents you with so many options that older people cannot grasp, take the one that goes with you, your dream, your passion and your goal. 
As Robert kiyosaki says it’s possible to retire young and retire rich. You want to be wealthy, start now and enjoy later.

I have seen alot of old people struggle to make a living.I feel bad and i really dont know the reason for some of them, but i want to believe that for some it is as a result of not working while they were young. I took a bus from where i stay to another place in nigeria one very day, the bus conductor was an elderly man.I was so sad about his predicament. I have also seen old women selling also, i keep asking myself dont they have kids. advice to the young ones of this generation, work now while you can so you dont end up suffering. Your money would always be your money. When you work hard and save up, nobody can claim it as long as you are alive. It will help go a long way. For some people , its not because they didnt work that they are suffering now that they are old, but it is because they raise the wrong set of kids or put their trust in the wrong set of people. Old age is suppose to be a time of harvest and a time to reap all that you have sowed during your young days.    
Also the country is another factor why you see old people working, some people have worked non-stop while they were young without having anything to show, these people stop working at a certain age and dont get to be compensated for their hard work (pension). They still have kids in the university also, they have to start working all over to give their kids a bright future. I pray God will make and put us among the lucky ones in jesus name. This prayer is  because for this world to be balance we still need some unfortunate people. we wont be unfortunate in jesus name.

You want to live large, you want to enjoy the wealth of life and good tidings of earth, you want to eat what you wish to eat and not what you see, you want to really have everything at the stretch of your hands, trust me, you have to work. It’s so pathetic to see people sleeping and waking and then they think of wealth or probably they dream of seeing driving exotic cars, living in big houses and then they awaits the realities of all this things without working. Sincerely speaking, do you know that our strength and power increases as we grow up (we were given birth to as a baby that has no strength but we begin to have strength and power as we feed alongside with time) and it also decreases as we grow old. Now, while we have the strength in us when we are still young, what do we use it for, do we just watch the strength lie idle in us. Do truth if the matter is that either you use your strength while you are young or you did not, it will definitely depreciate as you grow old.
Truth be told, if you fail to work while you are young, you will definitely suffer while you are old, it is not a curse, neither is it a prayer but it is a fact of life. Ecclesiastes 11:9 says that, You who are young, be happy while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment. This explains to us that we need to enjoy the days of our youth, enjoying the days of our youth requires us to work and not sleep and slumber.

Work now and that you are young. 
These goes to  the  youth expecially, the time  that  you  are young is the best  time  for you  to work, don't  be lazy at your youth days, if child  who is lazy during is youth time  will later  cry at the end. 
We have  to work now  that  we are young during  this period  of  time  we have black  hair in our head then we have  to be hard working, but when you  have  grown up to a certain  stage in  life in which  you  can not  run up and down  again  then that is the time  you  have  to take a rest for all the  work  that  you have done  so far. 
During the  young  age you  can do or even  perform many things  but  when  someone  started to be getting old there will  be something you won't be able to do again, but if you  have  worked before In the  previous years back then the results will be  your gain now and forever even you your self will be happy, although  the  starting  may be difficult but don't quite continue, so many  people  regret in their life just because they play with their young age and wasted so many years with out nothing been achieved. So my candid  advice  to everyone is that work when you are young, when you  still have  power, so that  at the end you will enjoy your life  and  become happy in the nearest future. 
Thanks

Yes, there many stages in life and time attached to each. The time of an infant will surely pass, teenagers time, youthful age, adult age will surely pass and death will come. Yes it just a matter of time like an era.  The question is what have you done while living?, what do you achieve, who do you help?.
What do you use your youth age to do. Are you suppose to start working while it is late?. Many have wasted their black hair and start struggling with their white hair. There is time and season for everything.

Youths are full of strength. There are different phases in one's life. And everybody will definitely pass through each stages. Passing through the stages is not the real work, the real work is what you do during the stages. Many people have neglected the part of WORK. Some even believes God can blesses them without doing nothing - absolute lie! God only blesses the works of your hands. 


Your youthful days is when you can work and also enjoy the work. Many people just live life without plans. They just live according to what life brings to them but it shouldn't be so. But once you have a full understanding about what life is that will inspire you to do the right thing at the right time. 

Though, some people do complain that there's no work but that's not truth because people doesn't look beyond their comfort zone. There so many thing you can do within you that will serve as a work. Many believes in starting big but that's not the rule. When you start small you grow big. And you also manage well to grow big. You don't grow big to manage well. 

Furthermore, not everyone one will be so lucky to start working with Federal government immediately they graduated from school. Don't limit yourself to that. Stay focus and learn new things. 

In conclusion, get busy with work. What you sow during your youthful days is what you will reap when you are old. Don't be a sluggard instead be vibrant and hardworking so that you will enjoy at last.

Wow, what a great write up. This is really an eye opening for the youths .
I concur with you because time waits for no one and there are stages to life. Even the Bible says time and chance happens to all things. To work you need energy, without energy you can't do any work and if you do it at all it won't yield much result or accurate result. 

To me youthful age is an opportunity, anyone with such opportunity should use it wisely. I was also ignorant of this before now but now I know better. 
Before now I do say to myself there is time, I will do that tomorrow. I will go to school next year, I will start that business later, I will rewrite  my exams later but one particular day a lady came out in our  church and gave a testimony that she was able to purchase her land, another came out to say she was able to do her graduation from where she was learning tailoring, another guy came and was like I will support the entertainment which I know is not a small money, to now crown it all one woman came out and she said she wish she can turn back the hand of time and be a youth because she missed the opportunity youthful age brought her and she is trying to get some  when she ought to be eating more profit and investing more. 

It was then my head got opened and begin to work with my all, I will resume work the morning before 7:30 or 7:30 on the dot and close by 4: 30 pm,  then I will take some pupils in extra classes till 6pm three times in a weekwhile I also go to learn how to sow three time in a week.

 I begin to work with my all because I realized that there will be a time I will be like my mother who can't over stress herself and there will be a time when I will be like my grandma but now that I still the power is when can lay a good foundation for those period. Shalom!

If we're to consider the title of this article then I would agree with you that we are to work while we are young.

Our youthful age is the age where we are to work with our whole night because we still have the strength to do so.  We are to work and save for the days when we would have become too old and weak to work 
So many young people are there wasting away this youthful age and engaging in all vices that would do then no good.
We have the old who till this day are still regretting why they didn't make profitable use if their youthful age.
Now that we are still young and strong, we need to work so that in the days of old we would have something to fall back to and enjoy.

I don't think these need to be told to anyone, in fact no parent nor mentor need to tell his or her child, that him or her should work, when he or she is young, aside because of there is no time, working at the young age it the best and preferred stage in one life to work.

As this is so so common in our generation, we wait to be great, and honoured out there, cheaply, we don't want to pay the price. 
Many great leaders of our time have tried all there best to explain and even given a proven reason why we should work in the days of our youth, as the world is going, things are becoming changing everyday by day, things are getting advanced the more.

My word of advice is, we should not stop working and adding to our skills, because the skill, that is trending today, may fail, in time to come. The funniest part is not everybody know this, the little skill, they know, instead of them learning more to it because nobody know what the future is going to look like, what kind of trade or skill is going to be trending, all this is to avoid "had I know" and joblessness at the future.

Lastly, if we refuse or fail to choose what we want in life, then we should be ready to take whatsoever life would give us, because these things are principles, before we were born, but I will be beg us to work now, learn more skills now never settle for less now, not because for ourselves children, but for third generation that are yet to come after us, because our father failed, that should not be an Excuse for us to fail our generation too.

@Flochords: Nice writeup. 


Laziness is a killer of a glorious destiny. Many people keep wasting their time and yet be lamenting that there's no time. Please when will you have the time when you refuse to maximize the time you have now. All this energy and strength is for a limited time in one's life. If you think you will continue to be strong forever just take a look at the man between age 60 and above then you will realised that your energy and strength today is a gift from God and is for a purpose. 

Many people have neglected the purpose God has in store for them and keep chasing shadows. The right time to work is now. Now that you are very strong, now that people are looking out for your skills, now that the power to make wealth is in your hand and Now that you still have the priviledge to be alive. 

Many people are suffering today simply because they didn't use their youth stage wisely. You just boasting and keep wishing to have a better future is not by mere talking is by action. So therefore if you don't want to end up like a pauper, get busy and work towards your goals and dream so that in the future you will relax and not keep biting your finger later in life.

Work  now that you are young 

It is very good to work when a person is younger at that  age you will still have the strength to do things very well  your bones and mosule are still functioning very well, it is advisable not to play with the youth age or let me say  it is advisable not to play with the adult age because that age is when an individual have to work so that  he or she will  enjoy  the work been done at the adult age when  he or she  get older, life  is stage by stage what  you  can at the age of 40years will be different from what you can do at the age of 70years  
make use of your time positively don't joke with your time be of time conscious because time is not  by anyone side and our age get decreased day by day therefore I hurg everyone to work at eairly age be serious with what ever you are doing at eairly age and when you get old you will  eat the fruit of your Labour

    The saying : Make hay while the sun shines , is enough to buttress this topic.

We have the opportunity to do so many things while we are still young.

     It gets to a stage in a man's life when he has no strength to do certain things. That is the evening of his life.

     The youthful stage is a critical time in one's life. You can also make mistakes & easily correct them or learn from them so that you don't end up with regrets later in life.

     So much energy can be geared into spiritual work, career, business & skills acquisition. This i s to make us have a restful life at old age.

Working while you're still young.
You don't have to reach the official age 18 before you start considering or thinking on 'working while you're still young'. From the very point of being in your first year in Secondary school for an instance,if you don't put in effort to listen, concentrate and learn while every subject teacher tries teaching you,you cannot catch up with it,and if at all you do,it'll be hard and that's why every beginning and foundation matters a lot. The early stage of you learning that vocation will determine how good you'll be at the end,the basis is what matters and that's why there's introduction to every process in life. If you don't know and understand the basis,you can't do well with the whole. When I first gained admission into the university I wasn't serious,I didn't give my whole,I took things with levity because it wasn't my school of choice,I was forced to pick the school and the school didn't even meet the standard of how I'd imagined it to be,so that discouraged me and I didn't try at all.
When I wrote 100lvl first semester exam,I was sick so I couldn't prepare well,I just had knowledge from what I'd learnt before and it was at this time I wanted to be serious cause I had met people who inspired me and  I wanted to meet up to standard but it was late at the time,I had exams to write and I was sick, hence I couldn't study. I saw my results and I was ashamed cause I knew I'd have done much better if I was serious from the start and catching up wasn't so easy for me.
Even the Bible says you shouldn't despise your youth cause all those youthful strength wouldn't be forever,all the time we have to while away doing nothing and being taken care of wouldn't be forever, having people depend on not considering your pride wouldn't be for forever cause soon there'll be responsibilities and if you do not do well to prepare and plan for them now,you'll very well regret it cause your pride won't let you want to ask anyone just as potent as you to help.
It's said that make hay while the sun shines, everyone telling you to have dreams and be ambitious now aren't telling you because of now but because of tomorrow when your youthful age wouldn't be as fun as it is right now. Of course enjoy now cause you wouldn't have as much time later,but don't just enjoy away not considering that tomorrow,it's better to be so busy being successful in the future than being less busy and useless cause no one needs you,that's how you made yourself anyways. Think about tomorrow and have a dream,find value for yourself,have ambitions,take up challenges and tomorrow you won't regret it as it won't be so hard.
Wake up everyday with the motivation to get better at what you do,but remember all work and no play makes you dull and no fun,it shortens lifespan infact so have fun but don't do that alone,be wise, have sense.
If you don't have motivations,if there's only negative vibes around you killing your spirit,find a little child and have them look up to you,tell him/her to believe in you that you'll be successful so you can inspire them to be successful too in the future,here you know whatever you do isn't just for you but for that little mind looking up to you,that's where motivation comes.

Hmmm! Have learnt a lot from every write-up, its really a good one, starting from the point of we getting it right while we are still young so as to prevent us from old age suffering. But I quickly want to draw our attention to something, have discovered that a lot of people do work effectively while they are still young, they are working with all the strength they have, but many have forgotten to take care of their health while they are still young. Sincerely, am not encouraging laziness because I am not lazy but I just want us to be aware of the fact that as much as we work to prepare for our old age, we seriously need to be mindful of our health. One thing we seriously need to understand is that it is when we have good health that we can enjoy the wealth we have worked for. Let us not forget the saying that health is wealth which means that your health is much more important as the wealth you are working for.
And again, another thing that some people don’t pay attention to during their work while still young is the issue of irrational spending. Well, you can say it is your money and you worked for it spending unnecessarily is not a good one. Have found this to be existing among the youth and even I myself have been in this position at one point in time but have discovered that it’s not reasonable at all. Therefore, let’s begin to think before we spend, it is very important to consider the cost, the quality and also the time it will use before it get spoilt.  
So, we are agile when we are young, we are strong when we are still youth but let’s us not be ignorant that our health is a determinant of how we use our body and how is maintained.

Work now that you are young. Life is a step by step process and the moment you miss one step you will surely have to pay for that step. Nobody can choose your life for you instead you are the one to choose what you want because you owns it even though God owns us all but the choice is yours. 

Many people today are living life by chance while some people keep blaming people for the wrongs they've make in life but all this won't solve your problems instead it will add to it. The first step is to erase the laziness mindset from your minds because laziness can't lead to anyhow more than destructions and poverty route. 

The best time to erased that kind of mindset is when you are young because there are some mistakes that can't be corrected once it's too late but the opportunity you have when you are young is that you can correct all mistakes. 

Secondly, don't just stay idle and be wishing you will be great without working towards the goals. Though it's good to wish for good things but wishes doesn't comes to pass without work. And it's not just an ordinary work because if you want to be extraordinary in life you need to add extraordinary to your works. 

Furthermore, don't look at something's casually instead try and get to know what it entails. Many people today do say they can't do some jobs simply because of the small salary or maybe it doesn't meet their standards but we shouldn't think that way instead we are to look at it critically because when you start small you will definitely grow big. 

In conclusion, always note that procrastination is a tool that is used to destroy lives and never allow it to set in your life instead work now that you have the energy and strengths.

Work while there is still time, make Hale while the sun still rise. The youth stage is a great opportunity to work hard to be successful. Time does not wait for anyone, also there are times this our body can be active and when it won't.
It is very advisable to use the back hair to work rather than using the white hair to suffer. There are stages you need to neglect one for one. There are times you need to ignore love and face your time. Also there are times you need love most in your life. Everything is processes, it has been designed by God.

You really have to work now that you are young because you won't find it easy to work at old age. You have to plan well for your future by working hard in this young age so you can enjoy later in old age. I have seen many people with an estimated age of 70 upward doing bus conductor and all kind of little jobs so they will be able to eat. So I used to wonder what they have done with their young age. 


Let us take any as an example. They work during the dry season so that they will be able to enhen the fruit of their labor in the raining season. If ant ant can plan well for it's future,then why can't you. 

Some people will say their is still time for him to work later and just play away his time. But he fail to realize that every day by day he gets older and not younger. By the time he realize this it will be too late and then do the work he is supposed to have done in his young age in the old age.

   Making hay while the sun shines is very important because when it begins to rain, we won't be able to make hay anymore. Have you tried learning from the ants?, while it can see one or two things to gather it does, without even resting a bit because it knows what it must do at the right time, and it knows that not gathering stuffs for itself would make it starve when the need arises, the best time to achieve all you want to is when you are still young, at least nothing is stopping you from trekking to that lecture hall, you are still very much young and full of so much energy, do something now for yourself and not just yourself, to make a mark with your name boldly written in it . Do something now so that when your children and grandchildren question you , you won't become speechless and short of words bowing your head down in shame or making regrettible remarks saying"had I know" ..
