This life is not just about existing—having a home, car, house, or job—life is about impact. Impact is achieved by meeting needs. The question every human should ask is: What can I give to this world? That is the question that imprints your name on the sands of time. However, many people ask the wrong questions such as: what can I get from this world? And a lot of people are struggling to get as much as they can from the world, instead of giving as much as they can. This is why they are broke busted and disgusted. Looking for jobs instead of creating them, striving to use the latest inventions instead of inventing or creating something others can benefit from.
There is a saying, “We come to this world with nothing and we go back with nothing.” I beg to defer. We come to this world with potentials, for our world and generation and we go back with either fulfillment or regret. In other words, what you go back with only depends on what you have given.
Those who take from the world are not known, but those who give to it. Examples are David, Moses, Daniel, Prophet Mohammed, Esther, King Solomon, Alexander, Julius Caesar, Da Vinci, Newton, Galileo and many more. In contemporary times we have Lincoln, Martin Luther, B. Franklin, Jefferson, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Edison, Carnegie, Awolowo, Mandela and Azikiwe to mention a few.
Today, your goal should be to find out what you can do for this world to make it a better place. Remember, you have not started living until you find a cause to die for.
