Seven Reasons You need to have Handwork



What's Handwork?  By dictionary handwork means work done without machine. Handwork means more than any British Dictionary. Yoruba calls it Ise Owo. It is of different from forms, it ranges from small scale to large scale.I have seen many Nigerians craving to be graduates, Good! Millions of students are going in and out of University walls without knowing what life outside University four walls really are. 

It's really painful that certificates is no longer the answer to money making and getting rich. You now see graduates parading offices to showcase their certificates. You will hear them say, 'I came out with first class', that's good but will it put food on your table?  Check out the reasons if you need to try. 

(1).Handwork boost your academic performance. 
From a real life story, there was this boy who his parents forced him to learn from a mechanic workshop. He learnt this for two years immediately he finished secondary school. After, he gained admission into University to study mechanical engineering. In summary, he graduated with first class and later thank his parents for their support. He Explained how he had learned almost all his course while serving as an apprentice. Today, he owns one of the largest mechanic workshop in Nigeria. 

(2).Handwork breaks employment barriers. 
Can you let go an employee with full skills?  They are usually the most sort after in the Labour market. You will see companies employing skill tailors, mechanic(as it's called in Lagos) and other hand works. What stops a mechanic from setting his workshop where thousands of people come to repair. You will even see mechanical engineers coming to meet this set of people. 

(3) Handwork makes you rich in a right way. 
Most people you see today as rich men and women started from petty handwork. You can't be rich and wealthy working for another person only. Ask Bill Gates, a university dropped out how he becomes rich today. Which education did Aliko Dangote had before he owns the largest business empire in Africa. 

(4).Handwork allows you choose your customers. 
You choose who be your customers. You are not forced to serve a manager. You are not forced to meet targets. You see girls sleeping with rich men just to meet their targets. You see an old man saying, yes sir to a young man old enough to be his son. You will see how this young man manager shouts on their workers. 

(5).You still earn even at old age. 
Former president,  Olusegun Obasanjo and other aged people will not have survived till now if they don't hold dearly their handwork. Bill Gates will not survive if not the software handwork he discovered those days. Ask yourself today, will you be in factory after age 70? Lets assumed you're stronger and wish to continue, will the Company not sack you? Most private companies, banks and industries don't pay pension or what? What if your children don't send you money a whole year, how will you survive? 

(6).Handwork makes you become your own boss. 
You will always be the boss of jobs seekers. Jobs seekers who only rely on their certificates. You can't doubt the power in handwork. From two employees to four and from four to thousands of workers. This is how handwork makes it in profits world. Men and women with Handwork are the largest employers of Labour today. 

(7). Handwork gives you time and space for yourself. 
I bet you when you work for companies like marketing company, you hardly have time to think or plan for your life. Your mind is set to meet targets, satisfy your boss and wake up as early as 3:00am. Handwork allows you to think about yourself. 

Now that you are going to school or a graduate? Have it at the back of your mind handwork enhances skills. Coming out in flying colors doesn't guarantee you jobs in the Labour market. If you must work in an office, have Handwork as a backup plan. Learning to sew and design clothes, auto mechanic and so on are now more profitable as you grow. Wait, how do you survive when government owes you seven months salary? 

I hope you enjoy it.
