FINISHING SCHOOL with Idris Ismail

 YOU WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

The making of a great man is his ability to own up to his actions and take responsibility for the outcome. It is the reason why one has to be conscious of what steps taken or to be taken . One should be aware of bearing consequences of actions

You will take responsibility for ignorance that resulted because one never gathered knowledge and scholarship. The bitter taste of ignorance becomes the albatros of not reading enough and not cultivating the intelligence and gift of nature enough. So, such cannot seat with kings and prince

You will take responsibility for not being relevant in the global professional needs because you did not prepare enough of needed skills, competence and relevance. Taking the easy path mostly lead to regret. You must locate the skill gaps in the world around you, prepare yourself to key into it, well prepared. Otherwise you take responsibility for   not being employable or schemed out of relevance.

You will take responsibility for been called ill mannered later when you did not submit yourselves for character moulding and manner training. Many adults you see dubbed lack of manners were before now, not submissive to tutorship in  good manners. Manner maketh  a man as man takes responsibility for his uncouth and crude manners.

You will take responsibility for been misled by friends if perchance your choice of friends and allied are wrong. Friends make or mar. Friends lifts and humiliates. The choice and responsibility becomes yours. Opportunities one missed are responsibility one takes for keeping a bad company. Many have failed, courtesy of the bad friends and company kept. They have no one to blame except themselves.

 I had a classmate who got drowned following bad company to swimming pool. He paid with his life for  taking a wrong action and he bore a permanent responsibility . A number of boys have entered into robbery and other associated crimes simply for keeping wrong company. Fresh in our memory was the  painful Offa robbery that left sour taste on our tongues. 

I am aware of group of friends attending same neighborhood extramural lesson and today are reputable professionals in choosen fields.

You will take responsibility for having nothing to harvest when those who planted during the seasons did. Definitely you know you will not reap where you did not sow. And definitely you will reap exactly what you sow . 

Your gain is determined by your efforts and any thing different, ultimately depends on all knowing God. It is entirely your responsibility
