Skill acquisition should be an integral part of every child's education, every parent should educate their children on the importance of acquiring a skill. They should encourage them to learn a craft of their choice, in addition to their educational pursuit. This will go a long way to help the children become independent and better positioned in the society.
Everyone's potential is different so it is pointless to compare yourself with others. Look inward, discover yours and explore it.
Your potential is like a seed which must be sown, cultivated and watered consistently if you must get the best of it.
Discover your potential today, acquire a skill, stop working like an elephant and eating like an ant.
