Life is a school which you don't graduate from until your last breath and as important as the educational sector is to mankind not every of life's lesson will be thought to you in the four walls of an academic class room.
As we go through life we learn and unlearn and relearn in order to become better versions of our selves and become value addition in the society we find our selves.
As a student in the school of life one of the most important lessons have learned that nobody will believe in your dreams more than yourself.
As a young boy after I finished my secondary school I had issues with mathematics and this made me rewrite the west African examination council exam (waec) for about five times and in the process I had people who stopped being my friends because they thought I would never make it to the four walls of the university.
One of my classmates back in secondary literally told to just forget about university education and just focus on business and some other person's would just walk up to me sometimes to ask "how far your school matter na" just to make fun of me but I had to be strong for my self.
After so many failed attempts I finally got an admission and after a while one of my guys reached out to me he was like it's been a while and then I told him I was in school and the next statement he made was "so you finally enter school" and while I was still wondering what he ment he said "you know say as you no quick enter school everybody don lock up say you no go enter school again".
Then I knew that if you don't believe in you no one will and this has helped me to stay focused on my goal without announcing what I am up to cause I would prefer that they are shocked to see what I have become rather than make noise about what I am doing to get where I want to be because people will surely air their doubts in form of advice sometimes .
This has made me build a strong believe system that no matter the circumstances I choose to believe in my self because what ever has taken place in my mind even though it takes time and people may not want to talk you out, will surely become if I work towards it.
For me the true reality is when you allow your outcome to be a result of what peoples opinions are about you then you may never reach your full potentials.
Believing in my self is so kin because it helps me reduce the noise of negativity around me in order to focus on my personal development and growth.
In the end what people say or think about you doesn't define you but what you believe in and the actions you take towards the achievement of that belief is what defines you
