I met a friend in Camp during the 21-days orientation course and honestly from day one since we all crossed that gate, it was a battle of ultimate self denial, since it's a regimented camp, all activities are well arranged and coordinated to re-organise corp members into one personality, there are absolutely time for everything, time to wake, eat (Breakfast, launch and dinner ) go out for parade, lectures, social event, light out, so one could barely have the slightest time for free talk or hangout, it was hard trying to fit in.
All of that was new to me, but be it as may, we all try to adjust and adapt to the new norm, upon all of that i was part of a unit that adds an extra workload on me, at some point i felt broken and couldn't continue absolutely burned, but then this friend of mine seems undisturbed about anything, taken it all in, without a slightest change in attitude, meanwhile here i am feeling overwhelmed and there's someone in the same shoe who is part of the whole process but still okay, true i can stretch myself beyond limit, if there's one thing i can boost of is perseverance, and endurance, but this was far beyond me.
I understand resilience in many aspect because only through it can we Attain some heights in life, when i noticed my friend level of resilience and tenacity despite all of camp's regimented activities i bottle up courage and leveled up.
During my 21-days stay in camp i realise and learnt a lot of things that has helped me afterwards, test of resilent, test of character, test of intelligence, teamwork, leadership etc.....
There i understood that time management is very essential to becoming an outstanding person, we really did not have time of our own, but in between little breaks, one should probably understood whats best to do per time, this is also means setting priorities right.
All of these moulding us to become people of relevance in the society, better managers of scarce resources in our disposals, team leaders, teamwork, how to push beyond limits, how to enforce oneself to do something even when its not convenient or likely, how to over come self, as in laziness, relaxing in comfort zones, too comfortable and above all doing the right thing at the right time, seeing that what must be done is done no matter the cost.
Finally building resilience character in all ramification is the game changer, it gies a long way to grant us access to some very high achievement that mediocres cannot go close resulting in discipline, determination, ability to stay focus and geared towards achieving so much.
