Using the growth of a tree as an analogy, Usman noted that a tree must first be watered before it can grow, stressing that personal development and success also require patience, consistency and effort.
She further encouraged people to try one more time, saying tomorrow could be the day when circumstances change.
Her message comes as a reminder to young people that setbacks, uncertainty and temporary failures should not be mistaken for the end of their journey.
