It has kept many in dilemma, because they couldn’t afford
it, as though it is food or money.
Though the society wouldn’t take a great man by virtue of natural skills
and talent; if he hadn’t anyone in his file or paper-bank. But is this how it should really be? Well, what has been has been. It takes only
those with foresight towards the subject to direct it for good. Because, most employers will never have
anyone employed in his office if he has no certificate; even though he may
possess the potentials beyond those that have one. You see, it is well proven that the subject
itself is nothing but a paper. I mean a
mere paper and not the required potentials, skills, strength, intelligence and
all that. And that is the problem of the
society today.
Some will always complain that there are no good jobs,
whereas there are countless job opportunities out there. This complaint comes
haven been interviewed. And after the
interview result is out, it would be that the interviewee failed, and even
having oral statements which are in contrast to what is stated in his
certificate. Then what is the need of
acquiring such paper? The truth is, employers need and want those who have what
it takes to help contribute towards the goal of the company or institution;
nothing more or less. In the other hand,
employers strictly want those with certificates. If not, no job. Obviously, those they disparage - not having
the said certificate in most cases are the human-material they actually
need. But they ignore them and go after
those they want; and end up not making it at top regarding meeting up with
their expectations.
The question is, why has this paper made man a tool
of ridicule and man allows that? It is
really not funny. The fact that he
doesn’t have the paper (as I call it), doesn’t mean he can’t do the work
effectively as you wish to have it be done.
Hence, consideration should be that this subject be treated accordingly
and give room to those who are not opportune or privileged to have the said
paper. Moreover, Mr. Williams
Shakespeare hadn’t any, yet he is, even at death considered the greatest and frequently ever
quoted personality in the world, as long as Literature is concerned. You see, every field of study anyone engages
in and is perfect towards it, is not all about what he acquired from studies or
what certificate has given him. But
those special qualities he has been blessed with by God. Been enrolled into professional courses is
just to backup those inborn quality and be called a graduate or one who has
acquired a certificate – The name; that’s all.
But many can concur that some persons before graduation have become what
they have earlier wished to become. They
just waited or are waiting to have that paper, which probably waste quality
time for those who needed to have showcased their expertise on what they know
how to do best.
Why do I have to speak on this? Because, I have
seen, (not told or think) where men who have no certificate reveal what they
have through practical. And they did very well more than those who have it. Many successful businessmen and women applied
nothing but the entrepreneurial attributes and skills in them. Hence, they make it today; yet they have no
papers. In as much as they are yet uneducated, some educated scholars come to
them to seek advice, coaching and follow their seminar or even make them
personal matron or patron, just to be like or more than them. Did it just sound like an irony? Well, it may have sounded as such, but
reality remains what it is, and no eraser can erase it. So, dear employer and recruiter have these
ones without papers show you what they got.
Just give them some time, monitor their inputs and outputs. Promise have it that you will not regret
having them.
Do you know that in most cases those who have no
papers do better than those who have?
And reason is, those who have will always have the notion that they can
never be rejected by most firms, companies or institutions, because they have a
handsome certificate and tends to care less regarding their field of study. While those who have none are totally the opposite. They’ll be dedicated, careful and keep
practicing, even in private to make it high, hoping that even though they got
no papers to speak for them, their physical technicality will, and that’s it. Also, there is this wonderful quote I use
often, which states – Certificate is just a paper and is
irrelevant without knowledge, skills, and potentials. Therefore,
“disparage not those you need and go after those you need not, but want”.
