JUST DO IT!

I am not good with giving advice because I do not have much experience myself. I believe people need to live to experience life.

In the last few years a lot of opportunities have come my way. I was not expecting them. They are all pleasant surprises and I am grateful for them.

I love writing; plays, short stories, novels, fiction or true stories. None of my blogs contain any of my stories. I only rant on my blogs not advertise my stories or share them. There are some people who read my rants and think I am a good writer. Through this I have been given a lot of opportunities to write for them, given a book deal and got a job at a radio station. After working at the radio station for a few months, I got enough experience to start my own Advertising Agency. With my experience as a radio producer and co-hosting radio shows, I can work in the radio industry. So through writing I have gained more skills in other fields.

If you are good at something, passionate and love doing anything at all, just do it. Do not seek for the approval of others. Compliments are flattering and makes us feel good and motivates us to do more and better but do not let these compliments make you pompous. Whether people are aware or not just keep doing it or them. It could be painting, writing, drawing, fashion or singing.

Make sure you invest resources to improve yourself. Example: You love painting. Keep painting, one day you might meet someone who collects arts and through your conversation they will find out that you paint. They might want to see your works. This becomes an opportunity to show them everything you have painted. They can buy or even recommend you to others. Just imagine you can paint but because there are no opportunities to showcase your talent you refuse to do anything about it. When you meet someone who loves arts, there would no examples of your works to show them. It might be too late to make a new one to show them.

So all I am trying to explain is, keep doing what you love doing. Even if you have to write a thousand poems, do it. Write them down. In the future those 1000 poems you wrote will be your chance to greatness. Before I got the radio job, the manager read my blog posts to determine whether I was qualified to work for the radio station. I was not told to write anything new to determine my writing skills. My old blog posts got me a job.

Do not wait to meet people before you do what you can do. Just do it and save them. I have been writing since I was in primary school and I have saved them all. These old stories of mine are the ones I show to people now.

Continue doing what you do best. There are people watching. At the right time, opportunities will chase you.

Always hone your talents.

Just go for it, reach for greatness!
