Seyi Olanrewaju

Ecclesiastes 10:15 KJV

The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of

them, because he knoweth not how to go to

the city.

Proverbs 12:27 NLT

Lazy people don't even cook the game they

catch, but the diligent make use of everything

they find.

Case Study

Collins is a 32 years old

graduate

He’s been an applicant for

some years

Frustrated by his inability to

make money, he’s being

seriously tempted to engage in

vices

By stroke of chance, Collins

met an old childhood friend

Buchi, who is very successful in

business today

After a long session of gists,

Collins asked how life is with

Buchi

Buchi’s story of success was

quite impressive

Buchi in turn asked Collins his

own version of life ordeals

All that Collins could say is that

life has not been fair to him

He opined the following points

as his reasons for not being

successful in life:

His father died without

bequeathing him any fortune

After a long wait for admission,

he was offered the wrong

course in school – zoology

Everywhere he’s attempted

getting a job is fruitless

Nobody is ever ready to help

him

His uncle that promised

heaven and earth disgracefully

chased him away for no

reason

The economy is generally bad

To succeed in the nation, you

must have a godfather

somewhere

The points were really endless…

Buchi responded that his own

story is almost similar to that of

Collins

The only difference is that

rather than looking at the

externalities to achieve

success, he paid attention to

his inner abilities

The meeting abruptly came to

an end as Buchi was called to

attend to an urgent business

matter

Buchi responded that his own

story is almost similar to that of

Collins

The only difference is that

rather than looking at the

externalities to achieve

success, he paid more

attention to his inner abilities

The meeting abruptly came to

an end as Buchi was called to

attend to an urgent matter

Taking a cue from

Buchi’s view, Collins

is thrown into serious

confusion as to

what options he has

in becoming

gainfully employed

given all his own

explanations…

Interaction

What’s Your Take Please?
