Why Fresh Graduates Must Embrace Volunteerism By Olaogun Michael Sunkanmi


I write to you as one with little experience. 
As you embark on career journey, don't ever wait to get a job, because one may never come. 

Rather, strategically position yourself as one who is ready to grow by #volunteering in/around area of your career interest and am sure you will discover the basis of my advice along the line. 

Till today, I am an addicted volunteer for people and projects and it has aided my growth to reasonable extent. 

You will end up building experience, which your years of waiting and money can't buy and it will make the difference between you and your contemporaries afterwards. 

The available jobs are now for the skillful.. 

Be wise and smart!

 By Olaogun Michael  No matter the agony on earth, Jesus shall come. No matter the enjoyment on earth, Jesus shall come. No matter your affinity with your family, Jesus shall come. No matter your wealth, Jesus shall come. No matter the betrayal, Jesus shall come. Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?… Chorus: Are you washed in the blood, In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb? Are your garments spotless?  Are they white as snow? Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb? Be a ready BRIDE. Jesus shall come again.

 By Olaogun Michael  By my definition, time is life and life is time. Life is the greatest gift God has given to all creatures. God our creator understands the importance of time in the scheme of things according to the book of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. In the time of creation, God spent time putting things in place for the benefit of man who was the last creature.  Unfortunately, of all the creatures of the creator, man which has dominion over all other creatures happens to be the one who has failed the purpose of its creation. Why? Because man has failed to use time effectively and judiciously. Time has the following features: pleasure, death, sorrow, happiness, success, failure, and so on. Most, unfortunately, time in its features has no recovery or backup. The latest technologies have in them backups, we make photocopies, we save on memory cards, we save on our emails and in our bank accounts but technology has never developed any mechanism to save time because time is MYSTERY!
