Life has always been a mystery with the way things work out. Chasing after success is the motive of every individual, the success can be in form of financial freedom, status, power and authority but most times it just does not work out as planned. The journey of life is not always smooth as certain obstacles sets in at some points during the course of the journey. Moreover, most people see these obstacles as the end of the journey and a good reason to give up on their dreams but these obstacles should rather be seen as port-holes to be avoided or slowing down in a traffic just to prevent an unplanned accident from occurring. Is it not surprising when two students graduates from secondary school the same year and one gains admission immediately but the other has to wait for couple of years before being admitted into higher institution of learning. Years later, the one that gains admission first has to wait for five years before securing a good job but the other that waited for years got retained immediately at the oil company where he observed his NYSC. Also, some people become CEO/MD at the age of 30 but died at the age of 50 while some attained the same post at 45 and lived till 90years. Therefore, the obstacles that comes our way and all the years of waiting before achieving what we desire should be seen as a time of undergoing trial which will prepare us for the higher places we are aiming. Nobody should be jealous of others because of what they have achieved and the time or age at which they achieved it because everyone has their different times. The best advice is to be patient, put in your very best in everything you do and never give up on yourself, with these I believe everything will work out perfectly well.
