Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 108
Title: Your
Greatest Investment In Life!!!
On
a cold winter morning, he woke up with a start, he was all alone, no wife, no
child and he felt very sad. His parents had been on his neck to marry and give
them grand children before they go home, but he was not in a hurry to do that
because he was yet to acquire the means to take care of a Family whenever he
decides to do so. Most of his mates were married with kids, but he was not
fazed by that; whenever that issue was brought up with him, he would
rhetorically ask, and how are they living? what is the standard and quality of
their lives? and the matter would be closed there and then waiting for another
bait. He decided, he wasn't just going to be another statistic in the world,
another number of those who were born into the world, he was going to
distinguish himself and that's what he did. After his first degree, he served
and while serving he spread his earning power all over the place that by the
time he was through with service, he had enough money to pay for his Masters
Degree Program, which he immediately embarked upon. While studying for his
Masters, he picked up a demonstration job for which he was being remunerated
handsomely; and just as he was submitting his Masters Dissertation, an
opportunity threw itself up for a Ph. D in a rare but related field to his area
and he quickly pounced on it and there
was another 3 years to spend studying. By the time he submitted his Ph. D
thesis, he felt fulfilled and now willing to take on the challenges of life and
living; but immediately thereafter, an opportunity for an 18 months Post
Doctoral Fellowship at a World Renowned University threw itself at his feet and
as usual, he grabbed it with both hands and while at that University, he met
and fell in love with a fellow Post Doctoral Fellow and their romance blossomed
into marriage. At the wedding, while giving a toast, his best friend who also
was his Chief Detail or Best Man (married though with 3 kids) said that he
thought his friend was married to reading books and acquiring certificates and
that it was a pleasant surprise that he had decided to touch earth and settle
down. In his thank you speech, the groom stated that his reason for acquiring
all the certificates he can acquire while still being able to do all the hard
nut reading was because he believes that a man's greatest investment should be
in himself, because that is what will prepare him to be fully positioned to
take on the challenge of living and raising a family and other sundry issues. Are
you sacrificing yourself for others (especially family members)? don't forget
that no one else can live your life for you. Every child of yours has his or
her own life to live, even they follow your footsteps in career and all that,
but they will never live your life and so if you want to count for someone who
came and saw and conquered and not just a mere statistic, then you've got to
invest in yourself. It is never too late, the world is dynamic, life itself is
dynamic and so you should be too. Nothing is ever the same once it has been
touched. Think about it and start doing it today.
