Commitment and Dedication

DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT

Dedicate yourself to what gives your life true meaning and purpose; make a positive difference in someone’s life.” – Roy. T. Bennett.

The Oxford Learner’s Dictionary describes dedication as the hard work and effort somebody puts into an activity or purpose because they think it is essential. Anyone seeking to achieve success must be committed and dedicated. Commitment entails that one has to diligently put his might, strength, and intellect into the rigorous process of completing his/her dreams. Being dedicated and committed is not an easy task but necessary for success because dreams cannot become a reality without them.

There is a saying that desire is the key to motivation but determination, dedication, and commitment, enable you to attain the success you seek. Passion and self-belief alone cannot bring success. In every case, if you want to succeed, you must have an unwavering dedication and outstanding commitment.

Dedicated people are hard workers. They put all their strengths into the sole purpose of achieving their dreams. Committed people will continue to strive no matter the obstacles. No matter what they pass through, they believe that there must be light at the end of the tunnel. They think that there are thousands of reasons why things would always get better.

The current world’s richest man (as of 8th January 2021), Elon Musk, while he was younger, loved inventions and was always daydreaming about them. At 12 years old, despite his parents’ divorce, he taught himself programming and made his first software. He remained dedicated and committed to his passion. Today, amongst his numerous achievements, he is the co-founder of Paypal, owner of a Motor-producing factory, and the first person to send a commercial vehicle to the International Space Station. He is worth over 190 billion dollars. He achieved all these through dedication and commitment.

If renowned men and women achieved success through dedication and commitment, you too could achieve your dreams if you develop these indispensable characteristics. Endeavour to make your city a better place to live. Commit to helping make Nigeria a model to other nations around it. After all, only “the people who are courageous enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do.”
