Experience
They say experience is the best teacher. That's correct depending on your point of view.
In our world of today, your craft is what sells you
How does one gain such knowledge or become an expert in his or her field
Practice they say makes perfect.
How then do you gain such expertise faster if not from persons who have walked the road you want to walk in
That's the beauty of the Igbo people and their enterprise
This thing called 'Apprenticeship' is like a core of the Igbo business
Apprenticeship simply put is subjecting oneself to learn or be trained under a person who already possess the knowledge or skill you desire
This right here is the fastest way to glean and gain knowledge
You do not have to go through years of experiences or mistakes of your teacher
You are spared time, trauma, money and drama
Learning from an experienced hand gives you a spring board to build on rather than starting from scratch
On this platform you can add your flavour to create your own brand
So many have failed miserably from mistakes that could have easily been avoided if they had taken the time to learn
If you've got the flair for anything be it learning a skill or some form of business it's wise to find someone to learn from
Sentiments or emotions should be checked. Learn what you need to shine brighter
Do not be in a hurry to leave
Our generation lacks patience
Do not be in a hurry to begin
Learn, learn, learn all you can
And never stop learning.
My generation lacks patience... and most often the discipline to submit oneself to a mentor and learn.
