Acquiring The Needed Knowledge And Experience Now That You Are Young

May I put it to you today that " anywhere experience or knowledge speaks, age bows or disappears."

Your age is never a determinant of your experience or knowledge. Most young people we see today has witnessed a lot even far more than some adults. In this same web, the level of your knowledge has nothing to do with your age.

Sometimes when you hear some adults talk, you get to wonder how such a low quality of word could proceed out of them but you need not to be surprised because their age doesn't guarantee sound knowledge.

The combination of knowledge and practical experience is a valuable asset to your life, these two important things are what comes together to make you a skilled person to enable you carry out tasks in an exceptionally successful way.

Both knowledge and experience are closely related to each other.

This is justified on the following grounds, without knowledge you may not gain practical experience and in the absence of practical experience, your knowledge and concepts cannot be strengthened or effective.

In this same web, experience must be considered as a part of knowledge that comes through experiments or doing things practically. It is therefore important to gain both knowledge and experience, so that you can live a good professional and successful life.

The major secret of those good leaders you see is simply knowledge and experience.

Inspirational: What You Should Know Before Choosing A Mentor And A Role Model

There has always been a misconception between these two words. People often take mentors for role models.

A mentor knows you and cares about you and tries to help you succeed. There is always a one on one relationship with a mentor.

A role model on the other hand is simply a person you look up to and try to emulate. It is very common for young people to choose role models they have never met and never will meet, simply because in some way they idealize that person's image.

You can never make some one you can't access and have a chat with as your mentor, he/she can only be your role model.

I don't know who your role models are, neither do I know who your mentors are, but they have great tendency of deciding your future.

Most destinies has been chattered by the mistakes of some so called mentors or role models while some has been built for the better in the same process.

Most people has so much believed in their mentors that even when their mentor falls they do the same. Being careful before you choose a mentor or role model is very important.

Of course there were hundreds of great role models out there and there are countless examples of successful thinkers, artists, athletes, singers, writers and more for us to aspire to.

For some reason though these people stood out among the crowd and were the ones that we really took notice of and tried to emulate. Perhaps we sensed a kindred spirit, or perhaps they reminded us of one of our parents.

Either way, once we choose a role model, they become a long – sometimes even lifelong fascination that we would take into adulthood.

Taking a person as a mentor is equivalent to handing over the steering of your life to him because you see him or her as more experienced and knowledgeable than you.

Ban on ATM card abroad can't be reversed - CBN

Abuja - The Central Bank of Nigeria has said the decision of Deposit Money Banks to place a restriction on the use of Automated Teller Machine cards abroad by bank customers is due to scarcity of foreign exchange.

CBN said while it had no powers to reverse the restriction placed by the banks on the use of the ATMs abroad, the CBN was in support of the decision as it would assist in reducing the pressure on the naira.

The Director, Monetary Policy Department, CBN, Moses Tule, who said these in Abuja, explained that the restriction might continue until the country could increase its foreign exchange earnings.

He said if banks had not taken the decision to restrict the use of the ATM cards abroad, some of them would current be experiencing challenges meeting the overseas demand of their customers and this he said would have caused huge liabilities in the balance sheet of the banks, thus affecting their operations.

Tule said much as the CBN sympathised with Nigerians for the sufferings they were experiencing in carrying out transactions abroad, there was little it could do to reverse the decision of the banks.
