It can be really discouraging not to have a passion when you’re surrounded by passionate people who already know where they want to be in life. Timi shows us how to fix this: scour the internet for potential career interests!
Okay, maybe not this specifically, but the Data & AI Track Lead has definitely shown us there is truth in the words “you never know until you try”. It is very common for Nigerian students to study a course prescribed based on their personality type or already picked out for them by their parents. The education system would force them to study just to pass, not allowing them to figure out what they really want to do in life and gain the competence to do it.
Timi was a victim of this as well, but he’s shown that with just a few minutes in a day and some dedication, anyone could go from having zero knowledge on a topic to mentoring others learning in that field.
His story will always be an inspiring one, especially because, with gaining competence, he goes ahead to help people just like him. So based on Timi’s story, the real passion-finder would be curiosity, consistency, and the drive to keep trying. So, Nigerian student, be like Timi today!
