MY TRUTH TO LIFE

A sad story it is that most of us live our lives every day without a single question of what’s going to come next

We drift around a basic timetable

From birth we were told read my child so u can excel in school

After the usual hustle and bustle of schooling we come to a crossroad

A crossroad where we’re left to make use of what we’ve learnt all through our school cycle

Or to drift away in the world

Even that completes your table

Yet again that lies so far away from what life is

Life is too beautiful to be confined to a single criterion of living

I live with a conviction of adventure

That if be not love that holds a man down

Then he should be free to move about and conquer

Many would say that "academics is the key to everything"

That "without a solid degree you’re irrelevant to the nation and to yourself"

For heaven’s sake what age do these people live in

I have always believed that life does not revolve around the confines of a school nor a degree

Life is meant to be lived to the fullest

School or no school, a degree never defines who you are

The skill you have acquired over the years guarantees your relevance in the world

You hear of big names with over 8 degrees

So many having nothing to offer to the world

I believe the relevance of a man lies not in paper qualifications

 But rather in the evidence of his works
