The chairman,
Nigeria union of journalists Akwa Ibom State Council,
Elder Patrick Albert has charged students and youths to set goals for
themselves in order to make the best out of what life offers them.
Elder
Albert gave the tip in a paper he presented during the annual students week
celebration of National Association Of Akwa Ibom State Students, Uyo City
Polytechnic Chapter.
According
to him, the kind of person you become is mostly up to you. “You can choose to
make anything of what life gives to you either good, better or best, bad worse
or worst. Within you is the power to influence the direction of your life”.
He
stressed that, others who drop into your life or who pass by can only help
hasten you up or slow you down, but you are the seed that determines what
fruits the world is going to get from you.
Elder
Albert explained further “you must discover your goals. Without goals you can
become what you were; with goals you become what you wish. You can sense the
direction your life is leading, if it is not leading where you want, you have
the power to change your direction”.
The
NUJ boss who was represented by the vice chairman of the union, Mrs. Florence
Umoetuk observed that as students, they are a unique work of art in the making
saying you are the artist, you choose to spring and shoot to the restof the
world. You have the paint brush in your hands and every day the decision you
make, your pattern of choices are making unique impression on the canvass of
your life.
Elder
Albert who was honoured with an excellent award in recognition of his selfless
service to the growth of students and the society at large urged the students
to develop their mind noting that, whatever you can imagine you can do.
In
a related development, the management, board and staff of a frontline
hospitality outfit, NANET HOTELS LIMITED have joined other well meaning
individuals, corporations and organizations to congratulate the new NUJ
executive council in the state led by Elder Patrick Albert.
In
a letter signed by the Managing Director/CEO, Ini Akpabio the outfit noted that
the election of Elder Albert was a proof of his acceptability and exemplary
leadership of which they are proud to be associated with and prayed God to
keep, guide and strengthen him in his service to the nation.
