If you're between 18-27, stop looking down on yourself.

Tony Elumelu graduated with second class lower - not even close to what banks wanted. They rejected him. He applied again. They rejected him again. But it didn't reduce his confidence - he knew they just haven't experienced him. By NYSC, he got an internship. Two years later, he became general manager of the bank.

How? He was always outworking everyone. He over promised and over delivered.

The confidence you're looking for is hidden in the work you're avoiding. But confidence alone is a trap - you must create proof. Don't just talk like a king - work like someone who actually wants the throne.

Dream big + big volume of work + patience = just a matter of time.

Proof is the loudest bargaining chip on the table.
