That Moment When I Feel I Have Nothing To Write But Am Grateful To God That The Inspiration Came.
Honestly, this article is a must read to every young students coming up especially those that are already done with their secondary school education about to enter University so that they won't spend too much of their time and resources writing jamb so many times just to enter university.
When a person retires and loses their purpose, what advice can really help them to regain that lost zest for life?
You just said “retires”, meaning the person actually achieved something in life, I believe retirement is when someone is old enough and has worked for a very long period of time in a particular job , so what am saying is that the person didn't lose his purpose because he/she worked and achieved something all those years spent in working.
From my opinion, I think the person didn't plan well or think about his/her next step in life after retirement that's why is difficult to pick up after retirement so is making things seem like he/she has lost zest for life.
My advice is to calm down first to think about what happened during his working years to recognise his/her achievements in life so far. This will help in self satisfaction and motivation to do more or to find something useful in order to keep up with life.
Then after that without much thought, ideas of what to do will come, there will be inspiration of what to do next with life after retirement.
Opinions are really welcomed and needed on this particular topic, so please do not forget to comment below.
This question is from my Quora profile and the answer is mine own opinion but I decided to bring it up because I want to add something from my story.
I want to link the lost of zest for life to my story.
Sometimes I tell my friends in school that i want to drop out from school because am so tired of schooling tho I still say it but I don't have the mind to actually do that. Thinking about throwing away the other years I have spent, the money spent and the stress undergone without getting a certificate is not worth while for dropping without a tangible reason plus disappointing my family and fiends, so I can't do that.
Sincerely, sometimes I lose the zeal to study because of the way the system is. The motivation I had before I entered school and now is not the same, it has depreciated just that am only helping myself by trying to encourage myself in anyway I can.
Today I was asking my friend about his roommate and he told me he said he wants to drop out from school. I wasn't happy with that respond so i asked why, he said his roommate is tired of schooling so I was like he should manage and finish up to get his get his certificate even if his doing business at least is remaining a year and few months. He said he told him about it when he asked him and he said, he will try at least he will write his exams but he might not attend class.
I said to myself after the call, am not the only that feels that way if not eighty percent of Nigerian students. Seriously, school is kind of frustrating in Nigeria, I don't blame those that say school is a scam because there is no job after schooling.
From the way things are and the economy of my country I see school as waste of money tho is not meant to be that way but it is in my country.
Left for me, I will advice someone not to go Nigeria's University at all rather you use your money to start a lucrative business and then apply for an online course of your choice that you can buy the certificate after the course of study unless your family is rich to sponsor you both during your period of study and after your study to help you find something doing.
I know this is sounding off or awkward to you for me to say not to go to Nigeria's university at all but that's the truth because the economy is bad. There are a lot of graduates yet no suitable job and most of them still end up going back to join business after graduating which is just like starting afresh so what's the difference.
Imagine, not long ago Nigerian Universities went on strike for six months if not more than. Keeping their students at home without minding our educational career because they were wasting our time of study, now school has resumed I wonder how they will rush us to meet up with the calendar that's to tell you how frustrating school is so I don't blame Students when they say they want to drop out, but that's not an option either. Is not wise at all to drop out when you have started unless you're doing that for other reasons best known to you.
I don't need to keep writing because is not something I need to waste my writing ink on because is obvious and I believe every other person in Nigeria whether student or not is aware of this and is a problem. Most people study just to have the certificate for future purpose and not because they want to practice. This also explains why people don't practice in their field of study.
Finally, am not trying to poison anybody's mind about education because is important and I value it personally if not I wouldn't be in school by now but am only expressing myself about bitter truth of my country's education.
