I'm sorry I have not made any entries for quite a while. It's just that I have been doing alot of reflection on my current situation. all that has changed however as I will make regular posts from now on.
I discovered blogging after I lost my job and decided to start doing it. As is to be expected, it’s not been easy since. I’ve done a lot of odd jobs, trusting God for that ideal job.
I am a 1995 graduate of history with over 5 (five) years post graduation experience in Human resources management, Logistics/Protocol and safety in the Oil industry.
As I said earlier, I have done a lot of odd jobs over the last couple of years, including, taxi driving, Book selling, general supplies etc. As the years have gone by, I have come to learn quite a few lessons about LIFE. I’ve come to learn most of all that every opportunity that we get in life must be maximally utilized, I’ve also come to that every opportunity is a chance given by God for us to prepare for tomorrow.
It is foolishness to take things for granted; that you are on this side of the divide today does not mean you may not be on the other side tomorrow. And the best lesson I have learned is the importance of having a practical skill, it could be a talent or gift, but something you can always fall back on, that can put food on the table and money in your pocket.
When I graduated from the university in 1995, the computer/IT sector was still in its infancy. I teamed up with two other friends to form a company that will deal in computer/IT and electronics. I had the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skill that would have set me up for life. But instead I left to secure a paid job. My friends continued and today they have developed fine IT skills and training, are in fantastic jobs and have their business running on the side. Talk about having the better of two worlds!!
What about me? It has taken my present situation to help me realize that I still have a passion for computers/IT and everything related to them. Therefore I’ve decided to go back. I will continue to search for a paid job, but I will never repeat the mistake of the past by abandoning my passion.
As I go back, I’m almost overwhelmed by the progress/advancement that the sector has made. So many sub-sectors have sprung up, including the INTERNET and all the opportunities it presents, website designing, Internet marketing, Software designing, etc.
However, I have made up my mind to utilize the time I have now to improve myself. (Not having a job is an opportunity itself).
