Hints on how to maximize one's potential as youth.
There have been many discourse made on this topic by many scholars and well learned people in the society. But before proceeding on this subject matter, i will like to make simple exposition on what we call potential.
Literally speaking, potential means possibility. Potential means a quality or attribute that tends to be manipulated in the future. Potential is an hidden gold buried in man's mind. It is an abstract treasure that needs tutored mind to find. Potential is a social commodity that was made free to all consumer of which use is a function of it's user ability to put into judicious utilization.
Potential is dynamic. Dynamic in the sense that it is a function of what inspires i.e. without inspiration potential tends to be look warm and lying fallow. There must be something that ignites the potential. Because for every form of possibilities there must be things to hold unto which definitely must have a start. Then since potential is a function what ignites, then what is the things that ignites?. With no iota of doubt, it's "steps".ie steps taken influences either positive or otherwise the potential.
Having said that,This then will bring us to the rules of potential maximization.
This had really caused many mental troubles. They are being bombarded with numerous thoughts and teachings of the scholars. Many read motivational books, attend many programmes, watch many movies, listen to diverse voice messages still yet find not a convincing and substantial rule to hold unto. But all i know is that it's not about how or what you do alone, but by following some guidelines that are germane in developing one's potential in a bid to get the golden fleece.
1. Self discovery: The first step one had to take is to discover one's self. It will be foolish of one trying to convince others about what you have never experienced nor observed. For there is a saying, what you do not have can never be said to be given by you. Which means, for you to give, it must come from your own experience. In similar vein, before you can actually flaunt any skills or qualities, there is a place for self discovering. You have to ask yourself some WH questions, what is that thing i'm capable of doing? Where can it be done? When can i do such a thing? If you can know what you can do yourself or love doing, then a step had been taken, consequently, the potential will start to gain momentum.
2. Time devotion: The next thing to do is to create time for that potential. You have to designate time even out of your tight schedule. This is very key, while you trying to nurture your potentials.
3. Commitment: Now that you have been able to know your capacity and you have created time for it, you also need to be committed. Like a woman will always commit herself to her marriage, so also one also needs to commit oneself to what s/he does. Never derail, never loose focus, give maximum concentration to it.
4. Discipline: to be frank, there is need for self discipline. For one to make a decision and follow it up to letter takes being discipline. If this is found wanting, you will actually ended up developing nothing close to potential. You have to make sure you stict to the plan you have made
6.Interaction: there is great need for your relation with others. Since no man is an island of knowledge. You have to interact with people you are convinced of their integrity. People who have more knowledge of what you carry inside than you do. They must be people who influence positively. You also be polite and be submissive to their teachings. Create a positive friendship environment with people you know that are capable of propelling you to developing your potentials. Share what you have done with them and never expect commendations from them but critics, it keeps you on your toes like a gadfly. It's actually the best for the health of your potential. It makes you to become more inquisitive on things pertaining to your potentials.
7. Networking: since you have created a positive interaction bond admist those that can be of good influence to your potential. This interaction must go beyond you having a talk alone, you let those around become aware of your potential. Do not bury your potential in your mind. Move with positive-minded people that have been in the line of which potential you nurse. Move with them so that they can help in letting known to you the formula for becoming achiever in your pursuit.
8. Attitude: this is very essential as it help build your mind towards the task ahead of you. Make sure you create positive attitude towards what you do and the "Team Help" around you it's paramount. What you put in place will be what will necessitate the contribution of the "Team Help" to the achievement of the ends. Your attitude is one out of the means leading to the greener pasture of your goal. When you never compromise, and you stood in frown against the negative attitudes that might elope with some positive attitudes in you. Be active even if not hyper-active.You need to be hardworking and provident. Respect every member of your "Team Achiever". Your reactions towards them is actually the key that can open and close their hearts towards aiding you in making the deeds come to thee. Do not be filled with haugty manner of attitude even when at the peak of your goals. Be objective in what ever you are doing towards making that ends. Never act in any way without putting into mental test what you intend doing.
9. Packaging: there is also need for you to know how to brand your potential for marketing. For you to make success in this, you have to be creative. Your creativity will help you in making a noticeable difference among your competitors. This makes you live at the apogee of your expectations.
10. Presentation: presenting what you have packaged is also necessary. You have to in complement of what you do to develop your potentials, also learn how to approach people. You have to have what someone called lift contract. You must be able to convince your audience while it comes to presenting what you have in store for them. Many find it difficult to make their ideas marketable. This is actually a corridor to confer value on your idea. It is a place of converting your ideas into money .egBILL GATE.
11. Desperation: When man is by a sea, he felt like he had all, but in the desert it's like he had lost all. Losing all mode is like a state of dilemma. It a state where you are stucked of what to do. It a state when you are compel to alternate choice, is either you choose or you loose.
You must be like, if this potential is not being maximize you are doomed. You work towards it like you are crazy of making it done. You do the maximizing like your entire life depend on this potential alone. Those people at the top of the pyramid today, are there just because they are so desperate. You have to neglect what the situation around you is saying and look at the axiomatic part of the novel. Always be of the mind feasibility and plausibility. Be deaf to all form of cacophony of the "Team We Shall see" that has remain blinded right from outset. Be determined and be focused. Sky is the bedrock of your success.
12. Learning: For there is a saying that he who earn had once learn and still learning how to earn the more. The place of learning can not be sideline when making discourse around topic like this. Even to understand nature itself entails learning. To speak either entails learning. For you to know the more, you have to do some study which actually is a form of learning.
