Imo Thomas -Umuahia.
Eze-elect of Nsirimo Amaise Autonomous Community, Dr. Charles Chukwuemeka Amanze, says prioritizing their personal development would help the youths to unlock their potential.
Dr. Amanze stated this while addressing the youths and people of Nsirimo during a one-day End-of-the-Year Youth Capacity Building Seminar with the theme: “Personal Development and Self-improvement,” organized by Eze Amadioha Nsirimo Foundation, held at the Umunnelu Nair Imo Ugochinyere Nwa Palace of the Eze-elect in Umuahia South LGA, Abia state
He said the training was in line with the agenda of the Dr. Alex Otti administration to make youths of the state agents of development, adding that imbibing what they would learn during the seminar would help them to be successful in life and be able to make positive contributions to society.
He explained that he organized the seminar through his Foundation as part of his contribution to human capital development and to assist youths in his Nsirimo community, Umuahia South local government area, and Abia State, in general, to channel their energies to positive engagements and productive ventures.
The Royal High Prince maintained that to achieve personal development and self-improvement, the youths need to set daily goals that would help them measure their successes and failures in terms of meeting their targets.
“Personal growth is a lifelong journey. By incorporating goal-setting, emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and positive habits, we unlock our potential. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together, cultivating self-awareness, resilience, and fulfillment,” he counseled.
To succeed in the journey of self-discovery and transformation, Dr Amanze emphasized that setting SMART Goals was necessary because in the “rapidly changing world, personal development is no longer a luxury, but a necessity; and “Unlocking our full potentials” would bring about living “a life of purpose and fulfillment.”
“We, as youths, being the biggest assets of our locality because of the important roles we play in the development and economic growth of our society, must acquire the Power of Goal-Setting.
“Setting SMART goals is the foundation of personal growth. By making our objectives Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound (SMART), we create a roadmap for success. When you set the SMART goals, you have to break down large goals into smaller, manageable tasks, and regularly review and adjust them to stay on track.”
He urged the wealthy in society to invest in building the capacity of youths to enable them to give their best to mankind, describing well-trained youths as invaluable assets.
Giving a Vote of Thanks, the wife of the Eze-elect, Roseline Ihuoma Amanze, thanked all who graced the training, saying that it was the tip of the iceberg of the good packages her husband has for his people.
