ITS NEVER YOUR ''1st CLASS, 2.1 OR PASS'' THAT DETERMINES YOUR SUCCESS IN LIFE

How to Tell If You Are Wasting Your Life:

“Good enough” has become the new standard. I was priviledged to have an idea of what some colleagues of mine thought about their degrees, life and knowledge and that got me thinking. For one, she was contented with her 2.1 for others "We are Schooling Life" says Ikedieze Ekpe a barrister as well.  The truth really is we are schooling Life. You don’t try hard anymore. You don’t try new things anymore. You are merely content with the status quo. Most wealthy men in the world today are not even educated but time and chance happens to us all.


Being content with what you have is fine, but make sure you don’t confuse “being content” with “settling for less”
because you are too scared/lazy/tired to go for what you want. Life is too short to play small. You don’t want to waste yours.
You think work is the only thing that matters. Most adults spend the majority of their waking hours working. While that may be true, that doesn’t mean your work should consume ALL of your waking hours.

Spend time with your friends and family. Enjoy your hobbies. Go on a new adventure. Work to live; don’t live to work.
You’re always chasing the latest toy. Can’t live without that latest cell phone, luxury car, or new line of clothes that just came out? We all have weaknesses. But if you’re always chasing after material things, you should ask yourself why.

Could chasing toys be a reflection of your unhappiness and yearning for something more in life?
Television is your best friend. According to a recent study published by Nielsen, Americans on average spend over 30 hours a week watching TV. That’s over 4 hours a day.

Maybe you should spend some of that time with friends and loved ones instead. Otherwise, you may very well die alone. Sounds extreme, I know, but it’s your life we’re trying to save from being wasted here.
You often escape into a fantasy world. For a brief time, you get to leave your current existence and experience something else entirely different, but you should never replace living with mere fantasizing. Live your dreams instead.

Do you even remember what they are? Are you following them now or are you merely living someone else’s dreams?
You always have a reason not to take action. Isn’t it funny how some people say they want something, but never actually take ACTION to make it happen? Maybe it’s saying they want to travel, or get a new job, or find a new boyfriend/girlfriend. But as soon as they say they want something, they sabotage their own plans by giving an endless list of excuses why it wouldn’t work.

Always remember that inaction gets you nowhere in life except to a place filled with regret.
You often find yourself reliving the past. Ah, the “good old days”. You may have heard your elders use such language. Your elders may not be going on new adventures as often as they did in the past, but what about you?

Are you really content with spending your waking hours reliving the good old days while others actually go and live new adventures
You let others tell you how to live. Plenty of people will enter your life – well-intentioned or not – who try to tell you how to live your life. Will you listen? Thinking it through would be a good first step for you. It’s your life and you only get one chance to live, so don’t waste it by living dependently on the commands of others.
The Choice Is Yours

What would you regret more? Would it be enjoying life fully or dragging yourself through each day and wasting your life? Reaching for your dreams, or complaining about what could have been but never was? Walking the path that you’ve chosen for yourself, or walking someone else’s path just because you were told?

A life that could have been but never was is effectively a wasted life.

You deserve more so here’s your chance.
