The Other Guy by Eduwalter(m): 2:57pm On Jan 23, 2018 |
THE OTHER GUY You know sometimes I do sit down and think about the regret of that other guy that decided to continue with his undergraduate studies in Harvard when the others decided to drop out from Harvard and pursue their dream of making facebook one of the biggest brand in the world. Though he has made millions in the ICT world and always said he has no regret continuing his Harvard education, he will never be like the others that grabbed the opportunity while it called. We all remember the yori yori crooner, Bracket. In one of their best selling single they made mention of being three, all of a sudden they reduced to two. We all knew what happened to the two, who I do refer to as coke and fanta, they made name for themselves in the Nigerian music industry. So what happened to the other guy, he must have graduated from the university, completed his one year service to the country and maybe be doing some other this as the case may be or decided to try his luck again in the music scene or doing an 8 to 4 job now. In business and everyday life, opportunity is the key. Making use of these opportunities as they come your way is what differentiates an individual working so hard and another working very smart. That other guy must have neglected the call when Zukerberg called; he allowed a single opportunity that would have placed him among the top billionaires in the world slip away. . The mistake still termed the 400 million dollars mistake. That other guy in the bracket circle would have waited for the right time. He could have had more faith in the group he formed with his friends. He would have believed in the possibility of their dreams, he would have listened to pleads of his friends to stay out and actualize their dreams of being in the best musical group in the East of the Nigeria. That other guy may be me, that other guy may be you. You never can tell what made that other guy changed his mind days, months before hitting the jackpot. Life can be funny sometimes especially if you are that other guy, you got to look at yourself as the unfortunate one, the one that was not destined to be in the top. You will tend to hate whatever that made you drop from the group at the dying minute. That other guy may be the lucky one at the end of the day, let us consider the case of tuface idibia in the plantashiun boyz group, that other guy may have seen the right opportunity and decided to grab it with open hands, that other guy may have been the stumbling block in the group and his exit became a blessing in disguise. The keyword in life and business is utilizing OPPORTUNITIES as they come and waiting patiently living a positive life as you watch the outcome of the opportunity grow.
