Welcome to the real world and not a fictitious world we see in movies, this is a life where everyone is on his or her own, you have to work harder to get things done.
When i was a little kid, i always think that, with the people that i know and the ones my parents know as well, anything that i intend doing whether getting a good job, acquire some dreams, i have always though everything will be hitch-free.
But as times go on, immediately i finished the University degree, and after i was through with the compulsory youth service which was one year. I was already at peace that immediately i was done, i would get a high paying job, because of many influential people my parents know in the society.
As soon as i have finished, i now started handling out my resume to those people to secure me a good job, they collected them and kept them, maybe some even shred them, but i knew the day i gave them the resume, they would just dump them somewhere.
It got to a stage that my parents started calling them to know how far about the resumes handed to them. Some of this influential people are Governors, Deputy Governors, Permanent Secretaries of ministries, Chief medical director of a University teaching hospital, Rector of polytechnic, former members of State house of assembly, they are many like that. You would not believe to our greatest surprise, they stopped picking our calls and were ignoring our text messages. The message they were sending across was that we couldn't help you, and we were indeed disappointed.
One thing they don't know is that, any post God has given someone, it is just for the main time, in a matter of time all we become history and the new friends you make during your tenure as the boss will leave you, because you no longer have what they want from you. It is then you will now realize that you have some old friends somewhere. But meanwhile, your old friends will no longer regard as one of your own, because you let them down when they needed you most.
From my own perspective, i believe someone should work hard to achieve his or her dreams, and do not depend on anyone to help you, but have faith in God, that when the time is right, everything will come as destined.
My advice: No matter the post you are in today, always render helps to people around you, because no one knows tomorrow, and if the person you have helped doesn't reciprocate the kindness back to you, maybe the kindness will be done to your children later in life or even to your family member, or someone that even bears your name.
May God give us the power and wisdom to be rendering help to the people in needs.
