If you only know how to pick stones, make a nice stone-picker, wear good
clothes and get to work. Thinking someone will just handover the golden plates
of progress to you for free; it’ll never happen.
Brothers, our helpers are the reflections in the side mirror, when we decide to
stop working; we’ll be stopping them too. So our expectation from men is a
mirage, why not focus then.
Fellow mortals, there’s no better helper than saving yourself from squatting on
the roadside.
Tho not everyone has the same opportunity or the key to that door, if you dont
have the key, join me as we’ll be breaking it, we need to hammer in-hand.
Transferred wealth is cool (wish my dad will tell me soon that i have 1billion
naira in a secret account), but an eagle that grew up in a zoo will always think
soaring is a disease and will never even try flying but stay grounded with the big
wings . Watch!
For the let-them-see-me type; the acrobatic fish in the morning will be in the
cheap pepper soup in the evening. Calm down!
For the reckless spender – ‘Mr Nawo Nawo’; the fun-loving deer in the jungle
will soon taste its own blood. Save!
For the sluggard; the cockroach that doesn’t know when to roam or when to
sleep will be a bird’s breakfast. Wake!
For people looking for shortcuts; the chick that wants to fly on time will end up
flying with the hawk. Work!
In conclusion Brethren,
Start and create something - Be wanted, dont be a Shakespeare's son that has
the world and words close but no saying in history.
Survive! Better to be true to the grind than on a garri+groundnut-at-home
business class just because of a selfie. The plane (life) is not going to land
anyway-we can’t survive the crash. What you have behind speaks, the treasures
or is it just that selfie (now in a frame) with two burning candles.
If you only know how to pick stones, make a nice stone-picker, wear good
clothes and get to work. Work!!!
