The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams and those who fully PREPARE for the future.
I remember back then when I was in high school, I have spent 5 years walking to and from school a distance of about 6 kilometers altogether. I was always looking forward to walk to school and to walk back home because on occasions when I am not walking with a friend or schoolmate, I would use the opportunity to think about the future. I remember very thinking about my studies and the kind of lifestyle I wanted to live. I even wrote down the number of points I wanted to get in my matric exams. I told myself I will pass matric and that what I did. Back then, In my mind I could see the future, finishing my first degree, getting married and building a home, helping others, remain humble, hardworking and honest. All I have right now it all started when I was teenager in my mind. I was always wanted to the best from myself.
One of my mentor likes saying: if you can see the future you have done 50% of the work already. What you need to do now is to lay out a plan so you design and create the future because your mind is fully PREPARED.
