“Find a purpose to serve, not a lifestyle to live.” ― Criss Jami
If you can find your purpose, your lifestyle will be defined by it. Don’t yearn to create a life style, yearn find and fulfil your purpose.
Jack Ma was a class room teacher living from hand to mouth with a monthly pay of about 12 dollars until he found his purpose in the internet business which didn’t come without failures and rejections.
Jack failed University entrance exams three times before he obtained a Bachelor degree in English from Hangzhou Teachers Institute in 1988, in his time line; he was rejected for 30 jobs he applied, failed in two internet companies he started before he eventually founded Alibaba that launched him into fame and fortune. Today, Jack Ma has a net worth of some billions of dollars that has made him one of the richest and influential persons in the world. Absolutely, Jack’s life is now defined in grand style even though he has a simple personality but his world now announce him at any arrival he makes and anywhere he goes.
Do all you can to find and define your purpose and you would have created a lifestyle to live by. You might have failed at doing some things, you might have been rejected at many attempts but if you will try your hands some more on your passion as Jack did, you will win eventually.'Tope Oladele
