Wrong That Has Kept Us From Moving To Where We Are Suppose To Be, I
Have Come Up With This Article To Expose An Area Where We Must Have
Failed In The Past. So We Could Start Making Corrections.
Firstly, What Is An OFFBIT OPPORTUNITY?
An Offbit Opportunity Is What I Define As The Opportunity That Is
Quite Different From Your Area Of Specialization, Profession, And
Expectation. That In The End Ports You To Where You Expect To Be.
Now Let Me Give An Example... I Had This Friend Of Mine Who Studied
Medicine... But After Graduating, He Couldn't Get Himself A Place To
Practice. So One Day While He Was In Town Trying To Find Something To
Do, He Noticed A Man Whose Car Had Disappointed Him. Upon Getting
Closer, He Enquired From The Man What The Problem Is, And From What
The Man Said, He Quickly Understood What The Problem Is, And Then
Asked If The Man Has The Neccessary Tools He Would Need To Help, Which
The Man Quickly Got Out. In A Few Minutes The Engine Roared Back To
Life.
In Appreciation The Man Asked, "How Much Is My Bill? And The Guy
Responded "Don't Worry Sir," Amazed! The Man Continued "Isn't This
What You Do For A Living?" And The Guy Said "NO" I Am A Graduate Of
Medicine, And I Was Just On My Seeking For Something To Get Busy
With."
The Man Still Standing And Looking Amazed... He Continued "So How Did
You Come To Know About Car Engines?" And The Young Man Replied "I Live
Close To A Mechanic Village, And I Spent Most Of My Leisure Hanging
Around There, And From There I Learnt Alot." Upon Hearing All That,
The Man Gave Him His Business Card, And Handed Him Some Money. And
Then Told Him To Report At His Office The Next Day. And That Was How
My Friend Got Recommended With An Instant Employment To Practice At
The General Hospital. And Today He Is A Certified Doctor Living Large.
Now Back To The Topic "THE OFFBIT OPPORTUNITY." Lets Say That Guy
Never Took His Time To Learn Something Else Besides Just Being A
Graduate Of Medicine. Do You Think He Would Be Of Useful Help To That
Man Who In Turn Rewarded His Kindness And Effort? I Leave That To You
To Answer.
The Truth Is Many Of Us Have Found Ourselves Having The Opportunity To
Learn A Thing Or Two That Would Have Landed Us An OFFBIT OPPORTUNITY,
But Out Of Pride, Ignorance And Negligence, We Push Such Opportunities
Away. Only For Some Similar OFFBIT OPPORTUNITY To Come Up, And We
Start Wishing We Had Learnt Something Different.
You May Be Thinking Of Becoming A Lawyer, Accountant, Banker E.t.c.
But That Shouldn't Stop You From Engaging In Other Artisan Jobs...
Because You Never Can Tell The Opportunity That Would Lead You To
GREATNESS.
