If you know how much people pay for knowledge, you will take every opportunity very seriously. Studying and researching is not an easy task. At least I have experience concerning this. What the youth and this upcoming generation needs is knowledge. And well, although we can say there are lots of free knowledge, some are unable to ‘pay attention’.
This generation is wired by distractions and so many ‘get rich quick’ situations. It was why a good percentage of cryptoverse was full of youth; that quick money to live large (uncalculatively large to be more precise). It worked for some lucky fellas if I should say while a good number were victims of scams upon scams upon scams.
This ‘one day I go make am’ mentality has driven youth into gambling with destiny instead of preparing and drawing out the needed road map. I can say it over and over again; ‘I CAN NEVER BE POOR’. This is neither a statement of pride nor a motivational speaking to just sooth the moment, NO.
The fact is, I see, I hear and I understand something. To be precise, I know something. wealth building has stages unless you are prepared to crashland.
Today’s church meeting topic was something very close to this. The anchor point was preparing for your next stage. The first thing to understand is the fact that your life has a next stage and another thing to add here is that the next stage demands preparation. Greatness doesn't settle with mediocres.

business, Ministry, academics, marriage, career and whatever needs the necessary preparation. It was something I picked from one of my mentors; ‘make sure you represent God well in your generation’. I have promised myself, my generation will not manage me.
That saying, ‘in the absence of a crocodile, you can manage a lizard’. Take it from me, I am the crocodile; if I am replacing someone, I must replace that someone as a crocodile, if I am the best for the job, it is because I am an inevitable crocodile, period.
It boils down to preparation. I must say I have seen some stepping stone decisions right from last year. From ministry to academics and business. I have attended several sf building and exposure training, written my first ever grant proposal and also acted it out on a video. The entire thing seemed impossible at first but that's what happens when you are ready to grow.
To conclude, let me add, there are lots of books to read, places to go, people to meet and so on. I have to be prepared for what is coming. My place can never be disappointment. This evening meeting has really helped to boost me and I can say indeed, wisdom is a principal thing.
