It's OK to have such thoughts running through your minds; but you should not worry much about such things at this time of your life. 

We are all aware of the economic challenge in Nigeria, as our nation faces many problems at this time. Unemployment problems are continually in the news with many major corporations laying off employees as part of necessary cutbacks. Some of these may be affecting your family. Many of you are of great concerns and are uncertain about your future.

With all this setbacks that now occur in our economy, there is way for you to be successful and to acquire a good job in this country. To achieve the success and changes you crave for you must start now no matter your age or level in school. And the key concept or way in doing can be referred to in one word as diligence.

Diligence means “steady, earnest, energetic application and effort.” The opposite of a diligent person is one who is indifferent, lazy or a sluggard. An indifferent and lazy person displays a lack of interest or concern, placing little or no importance or value on their schooling and education. A sluggard is nothing more than a habitually idle or lazy person.

If you start now to become diligent in everything: your school or work career, whichever you choose—you will begin to set a pattern that will make you successful.

Avoid shortcuts, just getting by, breezing through class with a passing grade and allowing others to tackle the tough jobs is not the way to success. If this is your pattern, you must make your mind to change or you will be average or below average as a wage earner.

You will have a life, and you will get by, but you won’t be able to enjoy the nicer things and share your success with others. As you plan for your future, you need to know what employers seek. A lot of young persons are looking for jobs in your chosen field. But if you have established a pattern and reputation of diligence as part of your character, you will get the jobs and advancements and will be successful.
