Quote Of The Day; “There Are Thousands Of People With The Same Degree You Have.”

By, Jane Okoth,

“When you leave college, there are thousands of people out there with the same degree you have; when you get a job, there will be thousands of people doing what you want to do for a living. But you are the only person alive who has sole custody of your life. — Anna Quindlend

This would relate to Steven Muendo who is desperate because he is tired of looking for a job and nothing seems to work out for him in his life.

He is on the verge of giving up on everything since everything he attempts seems to fail.

Steven may be tempted to make bad and drastic decisions in their lives to cover up for his excuses in life.

In an in depth explanation of the quote, when you leave college or university, a thousand more people are in the same position as you. They have the same qualifications as well as the same expectations of finding a job as you are.

This means that whatever disappointments and rejection you are going through in your job search process, there are probably lots of people going through the same circumstance.

The same applies with your achievements and ambitions that you wish to pursue in life. There are probably some people with the same bright ideas as you.

This begs the question: what makes you unique and also stand out from the rest?

How you live your life and the fact that you are able to take full responsibility and own up to your actions is what counts.

What also makes you to stand out from the rest is your handling of obstacles and discouragements that you may come across.

Standing out may not be something easily achievable but it is a worthwhile goal that can help you achieve other purposes in life.

Are you ready to be the sole custodian of your life? Take the initiative today!
