So, anytime you hear the word, ‘street’, it no longer connotes ‘area boys’ who roam about, looking for how to extort money from passers-by, sell illegal drugs, act as informal security guards, and perform other “odd jobs” in return for compensation.
The term street now covers young Nigerians who haven’t hit it big yet but still hustling tight.
A person who has a lot of common...
sense and knows what’s going on in the world he/she lives in, is known as someone who is street smart.
In the streets, there are some qualities that one needs to possess in order to survive and become successful. Just view these simple methods below:
1. Be ambitious
To make it on the street, you must have a desire and determination to succeed. There has to be a drive within you to make it.
2. Find the fastest ways around any problem
Lastly, you must device a short cut to resolving issues. Creating an accelerated way of achieving a result is one thing someone on the street does very.
3. Recognize opportunities fast
One must be able to recognise gold even when it still very much look like mud. To be street smart is to make use of every single opportunity because you never know which one would make you successful.
4. Learn to work with little or no resources
One other quality need on the street is that you must be able to work with the little resources you have at your disposal and create something bigger. No street wise person folds his arms and wait until he has everything before he works.
5. Dogged
To be in the street means to be determined, resolute, resolved, purposeful, persistent. On the streets, you cannot afford to let anyone hassle or intimidate you. Surviving on the street has a lot to do with being tough.
