Patience, Endurance and determination are essential qualities for achieving success in life. A perfect example of this is the story of my younger brother Joshua Ekojah who dropped out of university at the third year (300 level) but later went on to earn a Ph.D.
Joshua's journey is a testament to the fact that failure is not the end, but rather a stepping stone to success. Despite facing setbacks and disappointments, he refused to give up on his dreams. Instead, he chose to learn from his experiences and use them as motivation to push forward.
After dropping out of university, Joshua could have easily become discouraged and felt like he had reached a dead-end. However, he chose to use this experience as an opportunity to reflect on his goals and aspirations.moses realized that his passion for learning and desire to make a meaningful contribution to society had not diminished, but rather grown stronger.on a daily basis Joshua will keep confessing such as ' I shall make it,i shall reach my goal,it doesn't matter how long it will take, the world will hear my super story.'
From his daily confessions,I started learning the power of confession and faith because of the bold step he took to start all over again from the scratch.
With renewed determination and focus, he began to pursue his goals with even greater zeal.
He started by enrolling in online courses and attending seminars and workshops. These efforts not only helped Joshua gain new skills and knowledge but also boosted his confidence and self-belief.
His confidence, determination and self -belief is what i call communicable disease or contagious disease.I contacted his confidence and self -belief which i equally started doing things which I doubted in time past that they cannot work again.Emulating him, things started working for me.
As he progressed on his academic journey again, he began to see the fruits of his labor. He started to receive recognition for his work, and his contributions were acknowledged by his peers and mentors.
Years later, Joshua's hard work and perseverance paid off when he was awarded a Ph.D. from Bethel Christian University, USA
.A prestigious university. This 
achievement was not just a personal triumph but also an inspiration to others who had faced similar challenges and setbacks.
In conclusion, the story of Joshua serves as a reminder that it is the courage to continue that counts. success is not final and failure is not fatal. His academic journey shows that with determination, hard work, and a refusal to give up, anyone can achieve their dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem. As the famous saying goes, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts."
