Adding value to lives
The Bible says that our righteousness is like filthy rags and I know that sounds scary. But I have good news for you because the righteousness discussed in this verse is referring to self-righteousness and not true righteousness.
Self-righteousness is living right based on your standard.
When something is compared to a rag, that thing is bad and shameful.
Sometimes we get confused with the terms righteousness and self-righteousness. So, what do righteousness and self-righteousness mean?
Righteousness means doing the right things at the right time based on the standard of God.
The truth is that it is not easy to do the right things at the right time.
It is those that have gotten to a state of perfection that can continually do the right things at the right time.
That is why as Christian, we can only live righteous with the help of God through the Holy Spirit.
There is no way you can do the right things according to God’s standards if you do not know the will of God.
Someone once told me that failures are the pillars of success and I thought about it for a while because it didn’t make sense to me.
After thinking about the statement for a while, I was able to make sense of it.
A pillar is a vertical structure of stone or metal used to support a building.
That means we can say that failure is a structure that aids success.
Failing is part of life and we all fail at some point in our life.
Even a baby fails when it makes the first attempt to walk but over time as the baby keeps trying, it learns from its failure and can walk.
Did you know that luck is not something that happens to you without deserving it? Luck is when opportunity meets preparation.
Whenever you get lucky, it is because you deserve it. You got that result because you took an action.
If you went for an interview and you were the only person selected out of a thousand people, that can be lucky but it happened because you made an effort on your part.
Why is it that some people get good luck most times while some other people get bad luck most times? I will be answering that question in this post.
Are you still doubting if you can get good luck continuously? You can get luck most times if you make the right preparations.
There is an ancient Chinese proverb, which says that failure is the mother of success. If you do not think about this statement, you might think it does not makes sense.
Whenever I hear this proverb it reminds me of my first failure in a higher institution.
In my first semester at school, I failed a course(Trigonometry) and I felt so bad after checking my result.
I went home and slept off because I couldn’t believe it, I was going to have a carryover. This means I’m going to attend the lectures and write the exam again.
After I woke up from my sleep, I thought about what happened and I knew that I failed the course because I wasn’t attending lectures regularly and I didn’t pay attention to details.
During this period of thinking I was able to get a solution that helped me finish my program without failing again.
Yes, I had to attend lectures and write the exam again but I was able to learn some lessons that helped me avoid failure in future.
Then, I had a friend who passed the course but he failed a course in his final semester and he had an extra year in school.
I’m not trying to mock him, I’m only trying to let you know that failure doesn’t matter so far you learn from it.
How should you handle failure?
I’m sure some people might not agree with the statement that success is a journey and not the destination because they view success based on results only.
When it comes to success, the end doesn’t justify the means rather the means justify the end.
When you look at the scenario of an athlete that wins a gold medal in the Olympics, what made him win was the constant practice he had and how well he ran to win the race.
Most people do not know about the process the athlete went through to achieve that good result.

Some quotes have the power to change your life, I can tell you that this is one of such quotes. You should read it and try to understand the deep meaning behind the words.
After seeing these quotes, I was able to get some lessons from them and I will be sharing those lessons with you in this post.
There are many ways to define success and find fulfilment in your own life. Vocational schools focus on developing skills that will directly lead to jobs and career opportunities upon graduation.
While there are several areas of study available at vocational schools, they all generally share the goal of equipping students with the skills necessary to pursue specific careers after graduation.
Whether you’re currently in college or exploring your options, understanding what success means to students in the context of vocational schools can help you decide if it’s the right path for you.
