"...Wonder why these shoes ache so bad after few minutes of wearing them, but I have no other choice than to continue wearing them, at least it is better than being barefoot..." So he keeps struggling with the tight shoes everyday - nursing sores that leave an agonizing pain... In deep thought, he sighs over and over again...
That's the unheard cry of a graduate that is unemployed. Wondering how to stop the pain yet forgetting that he's the cause of the pain. He could have saved some money and gotten himself a new shoe, but he insists on wearing that same shoe. He knows it is tight yet he keeps forcing his foot in.Who's causing the pain?
The thought keeps lingering on my mind. Somehow, we play a part in charting the course our life takes. The course of success. The course of failure. Someone important once said something that stuck in my head: "You know what your future brings. It's just like going to the gym everyday. You are aware of the course of your life and how you spend your time - the day you don't go to the gym, it becomes an anomaly".
Thus, all our actions will determine if we are going to take a ride with kings or not. Can you take a ride with the type of person you are? So if you are still wondering you are unemployable, ask yourself these questions: "Can I hire me?" Do I have what it takes? How much is my intellectual capital worth? Figure that out! Reevaluate yourself! Then your Problem will be solved. It lies within You.
