MY ADOLESCENCE STAGE
Growing up in Nigeria is a big motivational trend because not all people end up where they started because the wave of success can change things.
In live in a remove village with my parents and sometimes, one of my grand parents.
Whenever we go scouting for coconuts, she would made me climb up. I was young. So, I could not say no but later I realized that it was for our own good. She would tell me to climb up the tree because no one was going to do it for me and when I look around and I see no one coming, I would just muster courage.
In the process, I learnt the following. That you have to keep an eye on the goal in order to achieve it. That you have to take a break some times or rest and that you have to continue until you hit the mark.
Take it from me, an average coconut tree is several feet in height but I did climb it with the aid of determination knowing that I am also one of the beneficiaries of its proceeds when sold.
In the market, an average coconut can sell for N120 in Africa and I enjoyed doing the climbing and plucking the fruits which are later liberated from the chaff and sold but you know what? It was not always easy. Climbing has become a part of life for people who want to succeed, do not let any excuse hinder you!
Just so you know, I am from Africa, Nigeria precisely.
