Who says that HARD WORK doesn't pay. The problem with the majority of people in this generation is that, they do not wait long enough to see the harvest of their labours. Life only delivers dividends to those who have the virtue of patience.
It is good news to announce that a 10 years old boy by the name Chukwuemeka Obi-Obasi warn for himself a whooping some of Six Million Nigeria Naira. He is a primary five pupil of Heritage Academy, Wuse 11, Abuja. His rare display of talent in the composition of a poem he entitled "Nigeria My Country" worn him the admiration of the supervising Education Minister, Chief Nyesom Wike, at the last week opening ceremony of the ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF CERTIFIED LIBRARIANS, in Abuja.
Chief Wike awarded the scholarship on behalf of the federal government and reiterated the federal government's commitment to reward excellence, hard work, honesty and integrity. He said that the money would be paid at once. The mother of the young poet, Mrs Chinyere Obi-Obasi expressed her profound joy and described the achievement as a pride to her family. The young talented poet however admonished all and sundry to discover and develop their talents.
This should be enough motivation to some of you who can do one or two things very well and effortlessly too. Your talent will always make way for you. Just keep doing that thing you know how to do best, one day, somebody will see you and perhaps reward you for it. Persistence is the key to the top of the world. Just keep at it, against all odds, it will pay off someday.
As a student who does not have a sponsor, do not be discouraged, plug in your best into your studies, and before you realize it, opportunity for a scholarship will knock at your door. But if you do not build your academic stance, you may lose your place.
If you can sing, keep singing;
If you can dance, keep dancing;
If you can write, keep writing;
If you can draw, keep drawing....
......until you reward falls on your laps.
HELP TELL YOUR FRIENDS THAT hard work pays handsomely!
