Striving for Excellence

You have to want more for yourself, except you are already a privileged kid. You have to take that skill, talent, trade, certification seriously. You have to learn, relearn and unlearn for your own survival and success. You have to want to be the best, and sit with the best. Kids from privileged homes befriend their likes, easily. Their parents made the sacrifices already. This struggle for excellence is a marathon not a sprint, think long term, seek long term. Invest in yourself, then your circle (family and friends), invest in education, politics, businesses. Be intentional with your ideas and outputs, regard people and celebrate them.(This is not to say you become a sycophant to reap where you’ve not sown). Start curating what you want your life and family-name to be remembered for.

This post was inspired by the current bulabu and bala blu of the country. The rich keeps getting richer. While you and I are likely the philosophers, writing think pieces till it gets better. 😂😩!
