No.In one of Mark Manson’s articles - Life is a Video Game—Here are the Cheat Codes, he describes life in 5 levels:Level 1 – Find food; find a bed to sleep in at nightLevel 2 – Know you’re not going to dieLevel 3 – Find your peopleLevel 4 – Do something that’s important and valuable to both yourself and othersLevel 5 – Create a legacy—Level 4 and 5 is where you grow your own business.Now, I suggest you to get a job and start working on Level 1 to 3. When you accomplished that, you can start building a business.

Let me tell you one small pabble:Once there were two seeds. One day seed A asked seed B,Seed A: Let's go outside and growSeed B: Nah!! If you go out, you need to face storm, sun, animals and you never know when an animal can eat you alive.Seed A: Sure, I will wait here with you.Life is very easy here;why should I grow;Why should I go outside;why should I work hard,;Why should I care about my responsibilities?After few hours Seed A asked the same question, but Seed B denied again in style.This cycle went on…Now here is a question for you all,Question 1: Have you ever stopped working, because no-one was there to appreciate you?Question 2: Have you ever woken up, and slept again because you believe its not the correct time?Question 3: Have you ever thought over the word commitment seriously, what does it mean for you, does it mean that you are working for an office job or as an student, so doing homework on time or doing office work with half your heart because it is not a part of your commitment? If you are planning something and not achieving it, are you sure you are committed to your plan, or Out of 10 how much marks will you give yourself for your commitment level? Do you have any plan to increase your commitment score?Question 4: Have you worked hard yesterday?Question 5: Are you going to work hard today?Do you know that Seed A wants to grow and go outside and face the world but he was not getting courage to go outside alone, or he may be too much used to the pleasure of staying inside his own small world.But Seed A was not aware that growing or making progress is an individual process , and on the path of progress you need to walk alone, because its a path of your life, no-one can drag you ;they only can guide you. But running or walking or sitting ideal will be your decision.But what keeps seed A driving, the insane desire to go out, and why because he wants to explore the outer world.And one day Seed A rose above all the questions and became the master of his own thoughts and decided to grow without thinking anything else other than growth and progress.After few years he became one of the most significant trees in the area.Here a question for you:“If a thought/idea is a seed , do you have the insane attitude to make it a tree?”What this story teaches us is about productivity,1- You need to identify what drives you and why it drives you? Are you seed B who just wants to take rest, or you are seed A who had an immense desire to grow.2- Once you get the answer to point 1, you need to figure out a daily basis plan for the same, please remember every personal plan should have four stages:Stage 1: LearningOnce you are aware and clear that you want to grow, and want to have insane productivity, try to master every skill in that area, if you are trader, try to master communication, interpersonal skills , try to master calculations etc.In short for insane productivity first step is to have insane desire to learn.I once went so insane that I wrote the same algorithm more than 70 times so that i could learn. Are you that much insane to learn new things? If yes then start dreaming!!!If you got a belief that for your field you are the best student or say noone can learn better than you!! You can start dreaming !!Stage 2: EarningOnce you have learnt enough, you can start earning, but always remember,for any business transaction “ Your time is the most valuable commodity”, so invest your time wisely.Stage 3: LegacyWe all want to have a legacy of our own ;may be we are writing on quora because it can serve us as a legacy. Always be careful about every aspect of your personality. This stage involves lot of leadership skills.“Every word of yours, every work, every decision is your legacy, chose it wisely”Now here is a point, for insane productivity you need to have a good sense of legacy that you are going to create. Your legacy defines your productivity.Stage 4: Golden DaysGolden day is when you have maximum credibility, golden is when you have become the master of your subject and your one word is enough to solve the problem.When you become the master, you are already on the stage of apex productivity, but to reach golden days, you need to be the best student, best earner, and a legend by creating everlasting positive legacy.Let me tell you one thing, most of us failed in stage 1, i.e most of cannot be insane in learning, so how we can think of consistency in productivity.In short learning attitude is and was and would be the secret of insane productivity.At the end I want to say something out of the context that you should always keep in mind while doing any work I believe that it will help you in attaining insane productivity:Never care about outcomes while you are doing a good work, because you can only control your work, not the outcome.Thanks for reading till last :)

“It's not patriotism, it's self-preservation” ~ @Bright Ugo OgidiAnd… @Taofeek Olawale Shittu summarized his answer as a lack of empathy or emotional intelligence.I'm not married.I proudly proclaim that I'd rather be single than settle for any nonsense.Right now, as a single person, I have the utmost level of peace in my life.Many Nigerians assume that if you're single, you're useless, selfish, wicked, undesirable, bitter etc.This is not to brag. I'm only sharing this because it's Quora & I believe the Nigerians on Quora have a higher emotional intelligence than Nigerians on other platforms. I don't share anything personal on my Facebook or Twitter. Quora does it for me. Yes! I love Nigerians here!So… I bought my mom a car this year & shipped it down to Nigeria. I got tired of waiting for my older siblings to do it, so I did it. Why? Because my mom isn't getting any younger. I appreciate people today because tomorrow isn't promised.In the car, I bought a few items for my siblings. But I focused more on toys & children's books for my younger sister's kids. I love them to death.FYI, I'm not really a fan of kids myself. When you've been as single & openminded as I've been, you'd value your personal space & defend it with the fiercest passion.The closest person I have in this world is that my younger sister.When she saw the car & the toys, she said her husband asked if I won the lottery.I told her,“I don't have any kids yet. If I did, I'd buy toys & shit for them but I don't have so I'm doing for you what I would have done for my own kids if I had them anyway”I have a friend who asked me,“If you never marry & have kids, what will you do with your money?”To her, it's a waste because to a Nigerian, your money belongs to your own kids. Period! If you can't have kids, go to every Babalawo, & God himself to sacrifice your soul to have them because, your legacy can only be passed down to your own biological kids.I don't believe that bullshit.My legacy transcends such myopia, small-mindedness & the potential of my womb!I hope to grow the wings to start the community programs I have planned for Nigeria.When I wake up, Nigeria is 1 of the 1st things on my mind, not my marital status. So, anyone worrying about my marital status has a problem, not me. Thanks!This morning, I dreamt of an endowment fund for Nigerians who can't afford proper education. I'll put down some of my own money, get some of my rich uncles & cousins to donate as well & we can help Nigerians go to school. Other Nigerians can donate if they want.Last year, I thought of giving a laptop to each best graduating students from every Nigerian state. I was going to approach Best Buy Canada to help.I currently work with a nonprofit. That's where my heart is at. I've been able to see how Canadians help each other & it strikes a chord in my heart because it's who I am.If you have any suggestions or want to help, please let's chat because I know in my heart of hearts that if I die never doing this, I'd be the unhappiest corpse ever. Haha!Yes, not getting married or having kids doesn't & won't make me unhappy.Not contributing my bit to raise some sort of awareness in Nigeria & help will drive me crazy.The Quorans I mentioned above are right.Our individualism will kill us.No man is an Island. “No one is self-sufficient; everyone relies on others”.If Nigerians helped each other even by as little as 5%, we'd be better than we are today!Thank you!
