THE BIG QUESTION

in Q Inspired-by-Music6 months ago
What really inspires the music you listen to? Those were the exact words of my elder brother, one faithful afternoon. He is barely at home at that time of day, but he was on that very day. I guess the question was born out of frustration, but it actually caused me to think deeply. I must have frustrated the young man with my non-stop music routine. On entering the room, I barely noticed his presence, not until he picked up and turned off my music player. The next thing was the almighty question.

I am actually grateful that the question was asked; it caused me to realise that I have almost never paid attention to so many things. In as much as I responded by asking what kind of question that was, I knew that I did not have an answer to his question. Not just his question, but so many other things about my lifestyle. I never told him, but he made me realise that I was not doing a lot of things right.

I began by paying attention to the music I listen to; that led to me organising different playlists for different times, but it was certainly the beginning. To my brother, it was just a mere question; a question that was probably born from the fact that he is never a lover of the kind of music I usually play. But to me, it was more. I got to realise that what inspires the music I listen to is not the only question I lack answers to; there are a lot more, and that for me was the problem.

Before then, I was this kind of young man that paid attention to literally nothing. I would just wake up in the morning, go about and do what I could; there was practically no plan. This very fact had made every one of my achievements come by chance; I never planned any of them. I guess I was saved by the fact that I am naturally talented.

I was, at that time, a technician who went from home to home to make minor repairs on demand. I also had a little workshop very close to our house; a place where people usually brought me their damaged appliances for repair. With time, I began having people ask me if I could wire their newly built houses; not only did I say yes to that, I executed the tasks perfectly. The fact that I could do all these things is amazing, but never having undergone any proper training before acquiring the knowledge is even more amazing. I was only able to pick up some of this knowledge by following friends who were already in the system to installation sites.

Though I am a talented young man, I do not have a plan for the future. I literally lack answers to every question concerning my life. My first decision was to join a solar company, given my already existing experience in electrical installation; they could not resist my application. I also, for the first time, decided that I would be furthering my education; with respect to that, I will be sitting my JAMB exams in a few days. As it stands now, I have grown into a young man who visualises himself at a particular level in years to come. I now have answers to so many questions, and most importantly, I now have a vision.


Thank you so much guys for reading upto the end...
