whyyoudeyfindjob.blogspot.comWAIT?!!!

I (I don’t know about you) have waited for more than 16 years for my constitutional and God-given rights. The Nations of Asia and America are moving with jet-like speed towards providing employment for their youths, but we will creep at snail-buggy pace towards providing the simplest of basic amenities, not to talk of provision of employment and even employment opportunities.

One thing that cannot be under-emphasized is the wrong perception about unemployment and joblessness. While unemployment is the situation that arises as a result of not getting a job (whether qualified or not), joblessness is more of a mindset thing. To say that we are not all jobless, but we are just not thinking in the right direction is a testament to the fact that getting a job is indeed a job, as rightly put by Aruosa, in his book 'getting a job is a job'. Sufficing the aforementioned statements is the fact not all youths can be entrepreneurs or self-employed because, once you know yourself, you will realize what you are exactly cut-out for. For instance, I first thought I would be an entrepreneur and ultimately independent ‘work-wise’, so I started selling recharge cards and even wanted to be affiliated properly, so I could be printing them on my own (legally oooo), but when I saw my contemporaries who had contrary ideas after we left university, ‘making it’ by working for other people, I realized I needed to take a course called ‘Myself 101’. Basically, ‘Myself 101’ involves introspection, meditation and ultimately, sleepless nights, but I didn’t care about all these, so far it would yield the proper fruit. Maybe you, yes you! are just cut-out to help others build their dreams and make enough money to nurse your own and attain the difficult, but very possible 'self-actualization'.

It is easy for those who have not tasted the stinging darts of unemployment and the forever-haunting perception of a bleak, insecure future to still say “wait”; but when you have seen vicious managers hire and fire at will; when all youths have been hypnotized about the calamitous dangers of unemployment and see an ominous cloud of insecurity begin to farm in our already confused mental sky; when your speech stammers and you stutter as you try to concoct an answer for your 14 year-old sister, asking you why you have not landed a job and you see a misplaced sense of humor in her somewhat fresh mental habitat because, she thinks strongly that you are confused; when you are hurried by the day and haunted at night (traffic spice); when your first name becomes ‘C.V’ and your last name becomes ‘interview’ ; when your extroversion becomes almost thwarted and gradually resorting to unwarranted quietness and you become the proverbial lone-way farer, who babbles to himself to keep the tears away and when 2013 suddenly becomes 2015; when you are forever having the degenerating sense of nobodiness;  then you will understand why we find it difficult to say “wait”

Meanwhile, there's still more to come, but pending that time, drink some glass of juice while reading this, to cool your nerves or probably take a shower................................either choice helps surely.
