POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE FOR SUCCESS We are in a rapidly developing economy where emphasis is shifting from mere academic qualifications to competence on the job. In today’s world, vocational and technical education is gaining ground as technology is having its turn on globalization. In spite of these, it is highly unfortunate that some youths today have wrong mental attitude about apprenticeship and vocational education. The present day realities and challenges have proved that there is need for people to become self-reliant in the face of world’s crumbling economy. God has given us gifts and talents, which must be developed to achieve something worthwhile in life. You are not a non-entity. See yourself as a force to reckon with in the development of this nation. There is gold inside you! There is gold in everybody waiting to be polished to sparkling shine. The gold we are talking about is the peculiar strengths, ability, talent or potential embedded in individuals. God did not create you as junks. He did not make never-do-well and non-achievers, you are fearfully and wonderfully. There is no one created without a talent, potential or gift. Unfortunately, while there are multitudes of people (youths inclusive) who are ignorant of this universal truth and others simply lock up or bury their talent, drifting aimlessly to and fro in mediocrity and misery. The big question is how can you discover your talent? Let me help. Look for the special interest in a particular activity whenever you are engaged in. Whatever good thing you find absolutely interesting, easy to do, and not requiring great effort. Whatever you excel in above others Whatever you do that earn good appraisal from people( e.g. teachers, parents, leaders etc) You just have to discover your talent!!! The dominant mental attitude you possess will determine your state or condition in life. It will also be the gauge of your knowledge and the measure of your attainment. The so-called limitation of your nature is as result of the boundary of your thoughts. It is not an exaggeration to say that a strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success in life. Many people succeed when others do not believe in them, nut rarely does a person succeed when he does not believe in himself. Principles for improving your self-esteem First and foremost, understand that you are a unique creature of God and He has put in you that are needed to achieve great success. Develop a mental picture of yourself as succeeding regardless of the inadequacy you may feel at the moment. Whenever a thought of inferiority comes to your mind, cancel it with a positive confession. Discover and develop you strengths. Do not exaggerate your weakness rather emphasize your strengths. Never feel inferior to anyone. Be yourself; do not try to copy others Think big and you will become big. By: Ebrima John Jaiteh Accept and believe in yourself. Tel:3921120/6414475. For any counseling plz call.
