In life, people always have one thing or the other they desire to get. It could be the desire to go to a higher institution to get more knowledge. It could be the desire to become a sports star. It could be so many other things.

do your part

Most times, to get the above-mentioned examples fulfilled, you have to be under someone’s tutelage; be it a teacher or a coach.  It is true that you will be taught or coached but for you to make it, you have to play your own part.


The road to your success is not just about being under tutelage but you have to show dedication to what you want to achieve. You have to be disciplined and act in accordance with rules or standards of behavior. In addition, you have to be willing to sacrifice; give up some ways of life in order to get there.


Your teacher or coach might teach you but until you play your part of the dedication, discipline, and sacrifice, you might not get anywhere.
