A man must be known for something, even so a woman;
either very beautiful or very kind or resort to be very witty or very stupid,
but something. I agree no less with the words of Martin Luther King Jnr., “Not
everyone can be famous, but everyone can be great because greatness is
determined by service.”
History is replete with notorious groups/names whose
aim(s) is to inflict heavy casualties on the world with aggravated terror, in
order to achieve an underlying motive.
Osama Bin Laden of Al qaeda, Abubakar Shekau of Boko Haram etc, are
synonymous with terror, but the former is no more and the latter, is at the
peak of his game. So I ask you, Where will you be 10 years from now? What would
become your lifestyle? What kind of future would you bequeath your children?
Will you be known for good or for evil? I tell you the truth, until a man
decides to make a difference, he cannot be different.
Let me start today’s series by repeating a question by Andre
Gide: “Can man discover new oceans if he has no courage to lose sight of the
shore?” Everyone started somewhere. You might wish to start small from a bigger
dream or start big from a smaller dream. Go ahead and think big, r-e-e-a-a-a-l
big! Visualize your destination, but be willing to humble yourself to start
small and grow. It's a principle that cannot fail. Nature expressly teaches
that a single acorn seed would sure grow into a forest of mighty oaks. To bring
your understanding to the minutest: you started as a baby and grew into an
adult. Today, majority of us are magnificently obsessed by our accomplishments.
Perseverance is often mistaken for determination. But
determination is the fuel that powers perseverance, until it wins the race and
takes the crown; while purpose is the sustaining factor where determination
abounds.
