REASONS WHY YOU SHOULDN’T QUIT

Image
We’ve all felt like quitting at one point or another. The desire to quit is as much a part of growth as success. For those who do not quit, a reward waits. Nothing worth having is easy to obtain. And everything that has value also has a cost. This is why so few reach their God-given goals: though most acknowledge that hard work is needed, most fail to realize just how hard that work will be. We know good things take years, decades even, but when the years begin to pass by, many are still caught off guard. Here are eight good reasons you should keep at it just a little longer. 1. It takes many iterations for one success. “If birds can glide for long periods of time, then… why can’t I?” -Orville Wright You’ve heard of that thing called an airplane, right? It took Orville and Wilbur Wright many iterations of gliders, and years of testing and trying, to get to a powered “flying machine.” They didn’t call each iteration a failure. They called it a way to improve, because each test, each tri...

Image
The moment has arrived! After submitting your resume and breezing through a phone screening, you're now progressing to the next phase of the hiring journey – the interview. Like the majority, the prospect of a job interview might stir up nervousness. To truly excel in the interview, you'll need to bring your top-notch performance.

Transforming your dreams into tangible reality demands concentrating your focus exclusively on just one of them.

First, set aside a few of your dreams for a later time. “All my life, I’ve had one dream; to achieve my many goals.” Homer Simpson While that’s a funny definition from the TV character, it shouldn’t be a piece of advice you follow. If you plan every dream wisely, there’s always a chance of you achieving them all. You just have to be strategic when making your plans. Everybody wants to be successful, rich, healthy, and happy — right now. But to manage all of these things at once, you need to divide your time, energy, and attention in multiple directions. However, this multitasking can become the reason why you quit following your goals. You can’t put your 100% focus on any of your dreams when you’re focused on multiple things. Constant distraction and lack of focus can lead you to give up on everything. Thus, make a better choice. Choose only one dream and put into it all your energy, time, and focus. Although, there’s still an option to work on more dreams at once, as long as they rela...

However, on September 21st, 2012, President John Dramani Mahama took steps to establish it as an official holiday by instructing the Minister for the Interior to prepare an amendment bill for Parliament. The bill was passed, and Founder's Day was created, celebrated on September 21st every year. In March 2019, the government passed the Public Holiday Amendment Bill, officially changing the date of the celebratio...
