NYSC: A Year Is Too SHORT by JusticeEquity(m): 8:40pm On Mar 26, 2013 |
Today batch A are corp members were sent to different places of primary assignment (PPA), where they are expected to serve their farther's land for a year. By now the brand new corp members should be in their PPA or in few cases close to the place. The PPA can be heaven or Hell, depending on YOU; that means the decision to be live happily in this new environment is your responsibility. Truly, it might be so challenging and difficult, with several issues to confront; language, weather, accommodation, foods, managing cash, choosing friends and dealing with people (ur boss, LGI, community people). Despite the challenges, YOU have a choice, you either make Your PPA a Paradise, otherwise it would be a hell. If u make it a paradise, then A Year will be too shor , otherwise A year will be too long . The choice you make depends largely on your values. A friend of mine wrote 13 excellent ways to Add Values to yourself, thus making you a distinct being. Your are closer to fulfillment of your Goals. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 13 Things you need to do before the end of Your Service Year (NYSC) The National Youth Service Period is a period of so many experiences, some you’ll love others you won't. My time as a corps member has helped me put together these points that I believe will help every “corper” out there. Have a nice time reading through, I hope you’ll learn something from my scribbles. 13 THINGS TO DO BEFORE THE END OF YOUR SERVICE YEAR Man, know thyself. This is one on the writings inscribed on the Oracle of Delphi, it simply means self discovery. It about knows who you are, where you are from, what you are doing where you are, what you ought to be doing where you are, where you are going from here, your strengths, weaknesses, your dreams and all. Before the end of your service year, you should be able to answer these questions sincerely. Knowing who you are tells a lot about the kind of person you are and will be. Man, know thyself. Know how you can be fruitful with your life, how you can achieve much with your potentials and all that you found out in the item above. The knowledge of this helps to catapult you into a very wonderful future. You should be able to tell how to use your strengths and all your experiences. If you are the entrepreneurial type, you should be able to see how to develop your market and strategy in your new environment. Be known for something. You should have an ideology that governs your life. If you cant stand for something, you’ll fall for just anything. Know your stand and be known for it. All the great men you’ve read about became great because they stood for something. Get thinking. Be part of a network of fruitful and focused people. The Youth service scheme brings together people from different parts of the nation with different ideologies from different discipline. Link up with people you’ve tested and you know can be trusted. You’ll never know what these networks will mean in time to come. Your type of association determines the kind of person you are and vice versa. Know the value of time and how to maximize time. Time is an exhaustible thing, it can’t be saved, it can be maximized, learn to beat procrastination and how to keep to time and be on time. This will help you so well in the life after National service. Get a functional Bank Account, not a bank account that handles your withdrawal but one in which you make deposits; the essence of this is to develop your ability to save and manage fund efficiently. This will really be of help to you; so many corps members have trouble saving money because of the distorted view of saving. The service year comes with a lot of highs and lows. Take my word, no matter how little your allowance is, you can still take something out to save. Learn all you need to know about (marital) relationships, especially if you’re unmarried. A lot of careless relationships sprung up during the Orientation camping programme and let to nowhere near the Wedding altar. Your youth service period might not entail you getting into a relationship, but you can get to learn a lot about it during this period. Getting into a marital relationship is just around the corner. Seek independence financially, spiritually, emotionally etc (but be careful how you do it). Learn all you need to know about etiquettes, corporate, dressing, dining etc. it’ll help so much in the world out there. Gives u an edge over others. Be literate in computer and internet usage; give yourself a lift by adopting the social media. Learn a skill or the other; learn something different from your field of study. I never trained to be an e- artist in school, but here am I today. Also improve on your own discipline, get certified, and keep learning. Build up a library of books you’ve read and want to read, remember that Readers are Leaders. Irrespective of your religion, I would advise you to better your relationship with your God. Nothing happen without the G-Factor, you didn’t create yourself, HE did. Get Connected to Him now, in service and total devotion to Him. Follow the writer on twitter: @topazdecimal
