Topic: Young people needs productive mindset to be happy in life - page 3. (Read 1602 times)

Education; which is going to school to obtain a degree is more than that there are people today who graduated from college, university or any institution but are not mentally educated. People goes to school to acquire certificate but do not go there to study about life and how to utilize their life's financially. Sorry to say this i so much value the educational ways of the Igbo's ( is a tribe in Nigeria) whereby they value skills before education because they always wanted to be independent either from people around them or from Government that is why today you mostly finds the igbo's in all parts of the world due to their skillful nature in business and to be self reliance, don't judge me wrongly but education is good as well because it makes you smarter academically but this doesn't include being creative or becoming an Entrepreneurship where they can manage and create their business without being employed.

While I feel that the title of your thread hasn't done the required justice to the content of your thread, I think the main reason why we have lots of graduates lately who are unemployed or even find themselves practicing in a different field is attributed to the faulty educational system they went through. In a situation where you spent a minimum of four years studying a course that is not properly thought out and is focused more on theoretical concepts that are outdated, what do you expect of the students? And most these student don't even like the courses they are pursuing and don't even see themselves practicing it in the nearest future, once they leave the schooling environment, they shift there attention into something that will give them more financial benefit. Even most of the ones that put in additional effort to make sure they learn the course and gain the needed knowledge are not employed after graduation.

It becomes very obvious that success only awaits the person that is dedicated to his self development and that is making conscious effort to grow and become very relevant in a particular field.

The main problem for us is that we are more focused on social media than setting life goals at a young age. At a time when people are thinking about building a career, we are busy with social media, we are busy with who posted what, how many reactions on his post, but honestly, youth is the most important time of life. A person whose youth is once gone from his life will never get it back, and in youth a man can work as hard in life as in other ages but he cannot work as hard. At a young age there is not much pressure in a person's life but in middle age a person has to deal with family pressure and all other things which results in no time to focus on one's career. So we all should fix our goals at a young age and work hard at a young age so that we can reach our goals.

It is certain that there will be obstacles that must be faced. Because if you really want to succeed there must be a struggle because of that there are obstacles that must be faced, what is possible success without struggle and without facing obstacles?. Maybe it could be if we just waited for the inheritance from our parents (for rich people), but not with people who have a good mindset, even though he has rich parents I think someone must still struggle to achieve success, if only relying on parents' wealth is not a struggle for success.

People who want to fight by facing all obstacles in their lives in my opinion are only people who have consistency in their lives, they can organize everything well so they dare to face the obstacles that exist. But I also think that people should strive for success because basically everyone wants to succeed in everything, especially in the fields of work, finance, and the economy. That's why they have to fight to get everything in order to be happy in life. So it all depends on us, if you just wait for a miracle it will be useless, it's better to work hard for the results you dream of.

First of all, I want to say that I agree with the narrative you said. However, the educational process will not be eliminated, because it is one of the gateway options for pursuing formal education. As for why today's higher education graduates are not very productive in carrying out their work, try re-evaluating the education system in countries that do not teach children to earn money but focus more on teaching them how to become obedient employees. If the education system is not changed, 70-80% of graduates will end up unemployed. Meanwhile, for those who are truly successful, starting from studying in elementary school, middle school and graduating from tertiary institutions and then finding a suitable job so that they are productive, it means that the educational process they have undertaken is truly correct. It all depends on your mentality, whether you are ready to change your mindset or continue to maintain ignorance.

In today's digital era, any material can be found with one touch, there is no reason to be unproductive. Many are self-taught and successful in their fields so they are able to create jobs. In other words, don't depend and wait for government programs. Creativity, mentality and courage to fight from the bottom. Unfortunately, this is not motivation but rather an idea that in my opinion the education system needs to be improved first.

I think that university graduates obtaining work from the government are found in poor countries only, while the rich countries do not often have this system because job opportunities are available outside the government.

In poor countries, education has become meaningless for young people because the government no longer provides jobs for graduates, and even if they are provided with trivial salaries.

This actually depends on the country you are living in. Yeah, in some third-world countries, it's really difficult to get employment after graduating from the university, but things are not the same everywhere around the world. Some people are still living in a country where getting a job after graduation is not so difficult unless the person is actually seeking a particular job that is not yet available at that moment, but if it's still a job they can get to make a living, then it's possible. In those countries where getting a job is becoming difficult, a sound mind, like you said (OP), and a clever talent are what they need to surface the unemployment issues and still make a living off their talent.

I have some friends whom I graduated with some years ago; some are still waiting for good employment, while others are business owners now. One of my best friends has a very large telecommunications house where all kinds of accessories, gadgets, laptops, phones, and tablets are sold. That's actually being a boss of his own and not just wasting precious time waiting on the government.

A man's life has several stages, among the stages, one of the most important of a man is his youth. Adolescence is considered to be the most important stage of a person's life as it determines the direction of his career. Those who assume the role of laziness at a young age are a few steps behind achieving success in life. At a young age there is a lot of work to be done and maximum focus towards one's career. At a young age a man has enough strength in his body to take risks and a man has sharp intelligence which can take a man to the highest pinnacle of success. At a young age we need to harness our brain, physical strength, and inclination to work so that we can build our careers well in combination.

Gone are those days and once upon a time when there was a functioning system of government that States power are vested at the people and by then publication of its societies.
Now the masses are no more considered roles to be acknowledged and adhered by the government but running a governing system of not prioritizing a welfare of the masses instead they are extorted and used for its selfish working tools.

Reverse is now the case where the masses are to offer to the government and not hoping on what the government could do for them.
The governmental leaders said the youths are the leaders of tomorrow yet the tomorrow seems to have no end to reach where the old folks has stayed to take leads of the people without giving the you a chance.

Again, the youthful schoolars were sometimes whispered that education is the key to success but at the end of acquiring the knowledges, graduating and certified from the schools was at when found that the government has changed the lock 🔐 of the system to success and left the youths with no options other than finding alternative means of survival.
This is why there is an increase in criminal acts where live had become survival of the fittest where of you can't beat them then you should join them before you gets beaten. 😏. So pathetic.

But however, one way or the other, there is always advantages to be taken in all circumstances and this singularly has opted the youths and has inspired them to the advancement of interpersonal skills and the exhibitions of creativities and skillfulness of individuals which is potentialed to offer general needs and also proffers solutions.

At now, skilled people are more regarded useful to the societies than the schoolars graduates whom where supposed to be publicly acknowledged as professionals but due to the less concerned of the government to today has brought about a low value across the graduates and its schoolars because they failed to be recognized with encouragements.

I can say majority of youths today has channeled their mental abilities of learning to acquire skills instead of Schools whereby they have to to observe that nothing productive and profitable is coming up from schooling as its priority was to secure job (s) or means of finance as every humans are indeed in-need.

Even, at some regions the governments are feeling less concerned of the educational sectors where they have also failed to provide and equip the institutions with necessary amenities.

It is impressive to see that the youths of today are much energymatic to creativities, technologies with the skills to entrepreneurship taking other way round to have its pace to posses its possessions by taking lead of today at otherwise.

"success can only be achieved when you work hard" - these are the words commonly told by everyone,  but still being forgotten by most people. Instead of having a strong dedication and hard work, people often make it easy as they go with the flow in life. Having the mindset that opportunities may come and go without thinking of their path to success by working hard. Forgetting that to achieve what you want in life, you will face different hurdles that can help you to grow and be able to move forward as you grow in each hurdle.

WOW!! What a coincidence. I just commented on the same content like this. Okay now I get it. It is the same Op retwisting the topic and content for a specific purpose. As it was said, graduates in years back were not feeling the impact that they would not see work to do when they have finished school because multinational companies, government parastatals and self-employed works were everywhere waiting for them to choose and things were very much simple and easy to get.

There are two groups of people that changed everything to suffer the poor masses and which are the Biggest Businessman and the Government which is an aparatus for the businessmen. Normally things not supposed to be hard for the youth but opposite is the case.

Of course, it's because success can only be achieved when you work hard and have good consistency in your journey. I think this idea has become very commonplace and those who are struggling in the process should still realize that only hard work can make them achieve all their dreams. It's not uncommon for some people to have high dreams and always motivated by the success achieved by others, they tell themselves that they must be able to achieve success like others but the problem is that they only say and fantasize and not with any action, it's nothing more than nonsense.

There are no shortcuts for anyone to achieve success, although luck plays a little role in the process they go through, still basically everything must be taken seriously if they want to get the results they want.  There is no process that betrays results, if indeed the results are not in accordance with what you expect then I think it looks like you are less serious in the process of  struggle.

To achieve success, of course we have to go through every process that we have to go through, without a process there will be no success that we will get because every person who has been successful has overcome various obstacles that they have faced.

You are right, even though we have talent in a field without utilizing what we have, we certainly won't get anything from the skills we have, and we have to do something with what we have so that we can enjoy the results of what we have done, because for every success that every person has, there are obstacles that they have faced that have made them successful.

Agueably no doubt, the economic system has been so bad in recent times. There is little employment opportunity for the masses. Sometimes I don't blame the government because providing employment opportunity for the masses is very difficult, reason been that millions of students graduate every single year, most of them studied mechanical, electrical, civil engineering and other engineering courses while others studied mass communication, business administration, estate management, achitecture and design, banking and finance etc.  but find it difficult to be employed in the oil and gas sector and other. And there are few companies and more job seakers. So looking from the situation of things I think one should not be dependent on certificate. skill should be lernt either before going to higher institution or before coming back to make things easy. There should always be plan (B) in anything you do in life . And I don't think everyone must feed from what he/she studied in the university. School is a place to learn how Read, write and develop a Mental ability to familiarize all aspects of life. Any side you find yourself good at after school becomes your area of concentration, provided is bringing food to your table.


Creativity is the only thing that make one to succeed in life. Certificate is just a prove that you enrolled in an institution and completed. but that does not end there, what matters is how you are creative in the real world. School is more of theory than practical but engagement in more of practical skill will take you to greater hight.

Progress is never possible without hard work every success in human life depends on his actions so if the young generation wants to get happiness they must work hard to achieve it. Despite having talent if one does not try to use it misfortune surrounds his life like an octopus if we want to be a good cricketer then we have to practice on the field and not just dream at home. Similarly to be successful in every field of life there is no other way except hard work.

Therein lies the key and if the younger generation does not dare to get out of their comfort zone it will be difficult for them to develop their potential. They need to learn new things to prepare them for life and the productivity of the younger generation will be much more developed when they are able to keep up with the times. Government work will only make someone live peacefully, but will not reach a stage of life that is much better than expected because working in the government sector only produces limited money every month. That's why many people who work in government also develop their potential to build businesses or other jobs that can increase their income.

The limited availability of jobs and the large number of applicants will make competition increasingly difficult so that many people will not have the opportunity to work in this sector. This is where our managerial abilities, skills and experience are needed to make ourselves more productive in making money. There are many jobs that we can do and when we can make good use of opportunities there are many opportunities that we can do to make money anywhere.

Its not easily to be productive for young people exactly not supported with their parent financial, I know many young people become motivator forum discussing and easily talk how to be productive for young people but they are supported financial form their parent. I don't think have been productive for young people exactly they have start and build up business from zero and what happening after collapse need hard work keep saving much money again to open business.

There are not problem when young people in comfortable zone, start slowly for building business exactly difference when young people have supported their parent financial when collapse their business easily to open new business depend have their dependent parent financial.

Not always easy for young people to be productive because not all of them have dependent their parent financial.

These youths need to get out from their comfort zone and explore. They don't need to set limits on their lives but continue to learn new things that will make their lives successful and happy to live.

Government jobs may look more stable and sustainable in a sense that its for long term but knowing those jobs cannot cater to the number of applicants, then I think we should be more dependent on ourselves rather than the government. Our happiness does not rely on what kind of job we have at the present,  but it relies on how we manage our lives by being optimistic and be more open minded, and by being productive in everything that we do so as  to live life without regrets in the end.

The truth is that even right now the government don't even gave jobs to offer people but some people don't still understand this. The world population had really increased and it is difficult for the government to take responsibility or create a job for every graduate.  The world has really changed,  their are lots of things that can generate  money for people,  this is how the time we are in is. The world is so civilised that anyone can earn money from skill, but some youth still believe in the government so much that they can still get job from the government. The reason they may have this mindset is because the fear to start up something.

If you are a productive person, it just means that you have a broad understanding of the future. Even if you are only 20 years old, it seems that at a young age you immediately find a way to reach what you want to happen in your life. that you don't have to lead to old age before you can achieve it.

Therefore, if a person has a productive mind and it results well in his own personality and life, the result of this in the end is the productive achievement of this dream and this event. We can say that you have what is really called a happy life.
