In the archive of an achiever there are a lot to
behold. In the wardrobe of a successful sportsman or woman, there are a lot of
medals to count. In the armoury of a
warrior, there are lots of different weapons there. So also
in the house of the wise, there are lots to learn from his wealth of wisdom.
Having mentioned all these, how many people have discovered the secret behind
their successes?
How many people are curious to know why their
colleagues will always get it right anytime they determine to do something? The
early catches the worms says an adage but does that mean that after the early
birds must
have caught the available worms, then the late
birds must go hungry? Absolutely NO! Then, what options are there for the late
birds?
According to the Psalmist, he says “The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing” (NIV) Psalm 34 vs 10. If this quote will be right to follow, it shows
that no matter what the case may be, there is
always a provision for you anywhere you step your feet on.
In our day to day hustling and bustling we come in
contact with people of different calibers, we come in contact with people of
different background in terms of race ,colour, ethnicity, education and behaviours. In relating with these
people, one thing is sure, the way and manner they arrived at getting to their
present position are different. If you sit some people
down for
them to narrate the history of their lives, to find out how they get to
where they are thus far, you will open your mouth, and you’re unable to close it
even for several minutes.
This is because they’ve gotten a lot to overcome,
several mountains to cross, many rivers to swim and uncountable obstacles to
surmount. You can even try to read biographies of heroes, heroines and legends
around, in
order to satisfy your curiosity just because you needed
a change and you want to learn from people’s humble beginning. But the truth is, no matter how you try
hard, whatever you learn from peoples’ experience will not fully aid or
boost your instinct to take a step to greatness, until you DISCOVER YOURSELF.
It wasn’t that they’ve not gotten something to
read about, but because, you’ve seen them as ordinary people they wouldn’t have
passed through such things. Now, you are in dilemma. Looking for what to do?
Never bother so long. Do you know what to do to get your name in the hall of fame? Do you ever wish
to be remembered for things incredible and useful in this generation and generations yet unborn?
Have you ever thought that there is nothing you can do in this world
again? If it can work for others, definitely it can work for you. You only need
to cast yourself into the script, screen your instinct into the scene and act
your creativity into story.
You must have
the belief that you can write own lyric. Tell somebody that you can deliver the
line yourself and you can have a beautiful rendition. Be confidence that you
can dribble the ball, you can play the kick and against all odds your can score
from the spot. Belief that you can catch the vision, you can write the business
plan, you can build a reputable business empire, you can become the greatest
entrepreneur ever live, you can break the record that is difficult to break for
so long a time.
Then what do you have at the end? You want to
become a celebrity, an achiever, a business tycoon, a producer, a director, and
a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of a reputable you.
