Today is My Birthday, What have I achieved in the past one year?

Thanks for clicking on this thread, I really need your opinion on 'WHAT IT TAKES TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE'

Today is my 20 something birthday celebration, and am asking myself whats there to celebrate, I cant say I have achieved some thing in the past year. I graduated in 2007 from Uniben with a Second Class upper (CGPA 4.212) By February 26th 2009, I passed out from service year ever since then till now, Its been from one interview to another. The one that pained me the most was IPS of last year. I resigned to prepare for the exam. I passed the exam, but I wasn't successfull at the interview.

And here I am contemplating whether to apply again or not. This whole thing is getting me really Annoyed.

In the last one year, No show yet. FRANKLY SPEAKING I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN A JOB BY NOW. Its like going round in circles. I don't get it. Does any one out there feel the way I feel?

And I ask myself WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO SUCCEED IN THIS LIFE.
Someone will say GOD, YES know. Thats Primary, Hardwork, Persistence, these are basics. But maybe there is something am not doing right. Am really disturbed.

Then I ask myself whats there to celebrate on my birthday.....

Maybe I should just thank God am alive because I've lost some friends to the cruel hands of death.

But I know, there is much more to this life than just being alive.

Please house I need your opinion on WHAT IT TAKES TO SUCCEED IN LIFE.

I look forward to hearing from you...


Your Truly,
Enigmani

guys relax,God has something great for you,just that there is appointed time for everyone and everything under the heaven,when you talk like this,what of your colleague in the grave????

what matter most is that you should realise yourself, who you really are and press it hard, heaven has answered you prayers for long but maybe prince of persier is delaying your answer,never mind my brother,for Almighty to have kept you till now,he has a purpose for your been alive

ask yourself,what if you were aborted by your parent when you were conceived????...., what if you never hard opportunity to go to school???..... what if you are lunatic or agbero.....what if what if what if??????.....

my brothers and sister there is alot to celebrate,when your blessing is at the corner, enemy would want to distract you and discourage you,you should not make him happy by not been appreciative!!!

men it's your day to be happy.....Teach us to number our days..that we may put our heart unto wisdom,pls, put your heart unto knowledge and ....

test God and ask him for your birthday gift for this year and see may be He is goin to give you or not


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!......

Today is also my birthday so congratulations to us both .I think the celebration is the gift of life man as i have discovered most times would never be satisfied .As for the job issue it is coming soon than expected cos God has a timing which the deepest thought cannot fathom .I'll leave you with this lifes battle does not go to the stronger or faster man but sooner or later the one who wins is one who thinks he can .Remain on top

Happy Birthday to you all! May the favour of the Most High God encompass you all and fill your live's with laughter,Amen.I believe there is more for you in this life,just see this period as a time of learning.Over time i believe your thought patterns have changed,there is now more trust in God and of course the knowledge that what we have is not by our might but just His grace,there is more appreciaton for people and somethings that we took for granted.
We can define success in so many ways,i believe true success can only be found in God Almighty,I'd like you on this day to request something that is of the greatest value,that God should reveal His will for your life and help you to follow that path,there you would find true success and when the time comes to stand before Him and give account of what you have done with all He gave you,you'd stand strong.Weeping may endure for the night but joy comes in the morning,dont concentrate so much on the weeping of the night and miss your morning.Be gratefull for the gift of life,good health,your friends and loved ones,even for the global technology that allows us apply for jobs online,especially those that have no connections in all these big companies.My dear if you'd be thankful,You'd see a quick work in your life.Dance,shout,celebrate God and you'd sure be celebrated.Happy Birthday,Happy Life!

Ur story is quite sympatetic, bt am very convincd u ar nt d only 1 in dis situation. My friend graduated even b4 i gt admision, bt 2day we ar both at INEC office waitn 4 interview. U hv nt don anytin rong neither hs my friend don. Ur problem is dat we ar living in d wrong at d wrong time. Bt believe me d sky is ur stating point.

Calm down guy! Success I believe lies in d hands of God. Well I just dont understand how God Himself appriopriate it. You just left school 2007. There folks I know who left with good 2.1 in an engineering course since over 6 years ago but there has hardly been a job for them to do. I remember when I was in school, some folks wont bother about lectures and reading for exams but depend on expo and sorting lectures, some just hard third class but today, many of them are far ahead of me that was there for every lectures and worked extra hard to have my 2.1 yet I havent hard d opportunity of getting that my dream job. I am hopeful it will eventually come. It is a matter of time. So just be prayerful and trust on God!

some people have first class without a very promising job.thank God that u are alive instead of sampling ur CPGA.
So praise him and at his own appointed time he will do it for u.

God knows best my brother.This post is a true message to me.God will surprise u and give u good success.

Hmmm, thanks for wishing me a happy birthday celebration. I'll read through all your posts and I appreciate it.

But one more question, most guys talk of God's appointed time.

I'll like to know, when is this GOD'S APPOINTED TIME. How will I know when the time has come. I need your comments please.

yea, i feel you bro... first of al, api buf day to you and those celebrating...
Everyone knows that its quite fustrating afta going tru al that stress in skool and end up roaming about one test centre or the other....really, i fil you but am telling you that you are not the only one... but you need to keep your head high and keep praying.
He will definitely answer you...
Api buf day one mo tym.... do me a favor...
give yourself a treat... get some nice chops for ursef... just make urself cul and laff out the pains... takia

My Guy, God does his thing in his own way without anybody's knowlegde, if anybody tells you that, this is how God does his things or he/she knows the time, the person is just decieving you...just pray for your time to come soonest and when it comes you should be able to identify it....I can imagin how you are feeling now, coz i finished NYSC FEB. 2010 i.e 3 months ago i know what am passing through..it is not easy at all but one thing i know is that my time is coming and it's soon...i want you to cam down and continue to pray to him to have mercy on you....Happy Birthday

There are many people going thru other sh*t in their lives too,hv courage & hang on. But hey,this is a forum for positive career stuff so pls stop lookin for pity party & hope 4d best.Happy Birthday.

Bros. Congratulations!!!

e go better,

na Job hunt carry many of us come naijahotjobs, others find jobs go , alljobsnigeria, twitter, facebook and so on.......
and
u know say Job/Financial Melt-down dey naija small. Banks dey help reduce unemployment b4.


now
Our Govt and politicians dey only look up to 2011, 2015, 2019, 2023, ......., Militants settlement and their rehabilitation

But
4 d powerless like u and I, that cannot carry AK47, general purpose machine gun, rocket launcher.

we only have one option ........ Baba God
na im b our Muscles,
we cant but continue to look up to Him for His provisions, na IM b Jehovah Jireh

we Shall make it, get a well paying Job and a legitimate Business in Jesus Name...
Amen

I would comment better when I have the time ripe enough for that. Nevertheless, I would advise you not to loose hope but to continue to develop yourself professionally. You can if you are an accountant enrol with ICAN or other professional bodies that 'suits' you. Wishing you rewarding years of gainful employment. May God be with you. Cheers!

I must confess we are all facing difficult times. Sometimes i feel really bad but one thing i have decided to do is not to complain anymore.

So far, it has worked for me. i thank God that i'm alive today and also thank him for the things to come. i appreciate the things around me, celebrate with the happy ones and live my life the best way i can.

If you complain and worry everytime, u have the tendency of falling into depression. imagin what that will cause for you and your loved ones.

Please, hold on and keep trusting God for better things to come.

Happy birthday friend; It shud be a haapy day. Dont ever 4get that!

There was once a time that all needed to get that plum job was to be a graduate, years of neglect of the state machinery has lead to one of the human disaster of our nations history. Ppl finish from skool only to join a long list of employable unemployed graduates..... hmmmm
@enigma i will suggest dont look one way, try all open avenue, schooling, travelling out, visa lottery, jobs(engineering and not) so that u can meet the basic necessity of life.... @the guy that works in an insurance company, in a country where things works engineers are needed in that industry.
For the house, lets keep praying for the best and neva loose hope....
I am still in shock at the number of graduates from my estimation, our leaders need so spanking to wake up from the sleep.... And we really need to take our country's future into our hands... yea not all of us can carry AK47, but those that can i support them bcos they leave the masses with no option... i cant but i will always support those Militant(MEND)... But i am at cross roads with the criminialities... 2 wrongs dont make a right....
and to all the bday celebrants HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY

hey! my brodas! congrat! on your birth days. no issues...just like mary mary's track- "can't give up now", you don't have to give up, fret not for God never brought you this far to leave you here. okay, i wish you could play the tape of some of us, am sure you will go home glorifying God like the blind Bartimaeus (Lk18:43). when there is life, there is hope, so chill and pray for life... a good one at that.

Keep believing, keep hoping, give it your best shot and never give up!

Enigmani, you have to be strong, life is in phases, as you go higher, you experience tougher resistance and it takes persistence, and doggedness to prevail. So my brother, just enjoy your self, celebrate it man, at God's own time, you'll get that dream job.

Happy Birthday Brother....

Guy,Thank God for been alive. Your miracle is close by,so keep hope alive. With my B.Sc 2.1,Masters and two other professional qualification with international recognition,i have not gotten my dream job.

BE HAPPY AND CELEBRATE.U CAN NEVER GET A GOOD RESULT FROM BEEN SAD.Happy Birth Day.
