One of the conditions which everybody is working tirelessly to escape is "poverty". This condition is very bad because it makes one unable to cater for everyday needs as a poor person is usually seen as a nobody in the society. This mentality has given rise to desire for quick wealth among people (especially the youths). They fail to understand that success does not happen overnight, it requires patience and hard work for one to make it in life.
There is a time for everything in life and as a young person, your main focus should be getting educated or acquiring a skill because young age is a period of building. It is so sad how youths are chasing money nowadays, most of them even go to the extent of engaging in unhealthy practices all in the quest for achieving success. I want you to understand that success is a positive achievement and any other thing aside that, should not be considered as success.
In this article, I will be telling you some reasons why you should not be in a hurry to achieve success.
Destiny is not the same.
This is one of the reasons why you shouldn't be influenced by the lifestyle of others. I want you to understand that destiny varies and what worked for others may not work for you. You are advised to embrace patience and hope because it takes time for success to manifest. You should celebrate and rejoice with others when they achieve success bearing it in mind that your time is coming.
Everybody has his/her own time.

Being successful isn't difficult. However, being extremely successful is difficult. Despite this, we all want to reach extraordinary success (which we all define differently). Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution. However, there are several characteristics that all successful people have in common...especially those who have a huge impact on the lives of others.
Check how many of these apply to you:
1. You find joy in other people's accomplishments.
Great business teams succeed because their most skilled members are prepared to put themselves in harm's way to make others happy. Great teams are made up of employees who help one another, understand their duties, put personal objectives aside, and prioritize team success over all else.
What is the source of that attitude?
"Can you make the option that your happiness will come from the achievement of others?" every successful person responds with a resounding "Yes!"
