According to him, the decision and effort geared towards identifying solutions often opened up opportunities, hence the need for everyone to embrace it.
“Let’s try and look for solutions wherever we are though they don’t come easy. Let your name be mentioned in the corridors of progress and development. We should have the solution mentality mindset,” he said at a conference dubbed: ‘Possibilities.’
The conference brought together fresh graduates, undergraduates and some young ones to prepare themselves for the many opportunities awaiting them.
“Whenever there are challenges we should be prepared to step up and accept the challenge. Mostly we hide from challenges, but it is by stepping up to challenges and problems that you can acquire critical problem-solving skills for the future,” he said.
Explaining further, he said: “It is also important for students to be open-minded and not limit themselves to the courses they study in school since the essence of education is to broaden our horizon and adapt to various situations. The fact that you studied Biology does not mean you will become a biologist, what you must do is to embrace opportunities.”
With reference to the Bible, Rev. Odonkor said: “The Bible tells us we should redeem the time. That word ‘chance’ the Bible talks about is an opportunity. There are opportunities around us but how many of us will take advantage of that opportunity.”
The Capital Bank’s CEO also touched on discipline, saying people must be disciplined in whatever they find themselves doing since it brings positive returns.
“For me, discipline has been the major pillar of my success so you can become aware how precious time is. Every moment is valuable. If you are not disciplined and you start your own work you will be more undisciplined,” he added.
