So, I decided to write on one of the limiting factors of success in my generation because of those who privately directed their messages into my box for clarity about a particular quote I posted on my status couple of days ago.

Mean while, when I was reading those messages, I received in my heart that, quite numbers of people who viewed the quote did not understand it. Yet they kept quiet to themselves...

Undoubtedly, I believed that. Save the set of people who privately messaged me, there are reasonable numbers of people who don't really get the deep meaning or insight to the quote.

Let me quickly lay a premise for learning here and to address the hidden issue in that set of people which I considered helpful if strictly adhere to inasmuch we all want more in life and also want to be more in life.

I unearthed that one termite is eating many of us deep in this generation and it is what made us who we are today and what we'll be tomorrow.

I called it "assumption and pride to gain clarity by asking necessary questions".

Countless numbers of people are living on assumption in this generation and it is really eating them so fast even down to their core.

You'll hear them saying, I think I know..., I should probably know..., you can name the rest...

Hear this, assumption doesn't equate an answer or a solution, it is still a state of uncertainty. It is a limiter to the best a man could ever be and moreover, a killer of creativity and productivity!

Great people don't live on assumption, they don't think what they don't know, they admit it and learn it.

What I'm saying is that, If assumption should be the basis of living, then no one will be excluded from a well articulated success story?

If you assume there is no other or a better way to learn or to understand a subject matter, then you won't find one, or you think you've found the better answer or solution to a question or challenge, then you won't find the best one to it.

And that transcend to the other one which I called "pride to gain clarity by asking necessary questions".

Yeah, I called it a pride.

Why?

It is a pride and it will always remain it because, pride will always tell you to lean and speak of who you're and of what you know other than what you don't know.

And let me quickly say this that, no one can grow in pretence! The more you admit you know less, the more you will know more and the less you become ignorant of things.

To think that because you're in the same "level, environment, class with people makes you their mate or equate you could be the greatest mistake of your life.

Asking questions explores ideas to unlock doors that would otherwise remain locked.

As a matter of fact, the lives of people in this category are most questionable because of their confession of a better tomorrow.

Oh, did you just said why? Afterall, you don't owns or knows tomorrow and you're not their creator.

Yeah! You're right, absolutely, I don't I'm not their creator but one thing I know and I'm sure about is that, the confession of a better tomorrow will only be workable or achievable if the confessor didn't remain the way he was yesterday and today, if (s)he is ready to learn new things.

The only guarantee for a better tomorrow is God and growth, growth is the hallmark of success!

Matthew 7:7-8 explains this better.

"Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.

For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, [the door] will be opened".

Now, I say, don't ask and it will not be given to you; don't seek and you will not find; don't knock and you will be freeze outside in the cold harmattan.🤗🤗🤗

We'll always be good whenever we assume things and always be better when we lean on what we know but we'll be best when we question the uncertainty of life with a right motive.

Let me set this timely alarm in your heart that, seeking help is not or never a weakness, it is an unpublished strength of great people.

Shalom
