HOW TO STAND OUT AMONGST YOUR PEERS.

Being different simply means being a maverick; indulging in activities that are not common among the individuals in your peer group. That is not to say you should try to force yourself to do things you don’t like doing. Simply, discover yourself. Once you have done that, the next line of action is to develop the line of interest in which you find yourself.

Developing yourself in that line could just be indulging in those things i.e. making sure you set your leisure time to doing or practising these activities. For instance, if you discover yourself that you love playing football, the first step is to engage or register yourself in a local team which could just be in your neighborhood. As time goes on, try to learn from the mistakes of your opponents or even your fellow teammates. This would go a long way in building your potential as a football player.

Along the line, try to look for professionals in your locality who you can just ask to watch you play on the pitch. Respectfully and with utmost humility, ask their opinions about your performance and kindly ask him or her to build you against making those mistakes. As you make progress, you can adopt the person as your mentor. Constantly challenge yourself by registering in professional clubs; it would help refine your talent. I bet that if you really devote your mind, body and soul to it, you will reach the desired height.

Success as defined by Pastor Julius Eniolu of the Lighthouse Christian Centre, U.K, “is not an achievement but a process.” Look deep into this and you would realize that success is attained step by step and not suddenly. If you find among your peers none of your intellectual capacity, leave such a group. You will never get better. There will be no challenges. Instead, associate yourself with a competing group of peers. In that way, it would help you to think more, research more and through this you will find yourself wanting to achieve more.
