"Remember the Golden rule that whoever has the gold makes the rule" -Anonymous.
(By Oyero Joshua)
With the broad vision offered by motivational lenses, particularly
those by inspirational educators whose works adorn the shelves of
today's bookshop, one could not but be thrown into the wide space of
indecision especially when it comes to selecting an all-encompassing definition for
'Success'.
It's in the light of the above reason that I have
chosen not to adopt any scholarly postulated definition of Success
herein, but to use something simplistic: a product of my reasoning.
Success in its crude form is 'the ability to go from one failure to another without loss or diminishing enthusiasm'.
Now, let's get going:
However, it's of no need to note as it's a known fact to say that no matter how
immerse a family is in the unlucky water of squalor, there will
constantly be a person amongst such family who will be head-and-shoulder above
his fellow kith and kins.
In the acceptability of the above
definition, one could objectively conclude that it's justifiable, though Africa as a spectacle to emphasize the
inevitable presence of a 'BREAD-WINNER' in all human family of the
world. However necessary as the backdrop of the issue at hand is a germane question, which is: 'Who is a
Bread-winner?'.
A Bread-winner by all distinction is the most
financially-distinctive member of any human family. He/She can be said
to have a considerable degree of material wealth and financial
independence. In absolute truth, dependants depend on him. He/She is a family cornerstone per excellence!
Now, talking with all correctness, I do not think any sane youth would
not want to be the Bread-winner of his/her family (minding the allure of
glamour and prestige that accompany this magnificent position). Likewise do I not
think anyone who yearns for such desire should hesitate taking the bull
by the horn.
It would interest you my dear reader to know that
there's no dream that is attainable on the platter of no obstacle and
disappointments. Of note is that disappointments takes precedence before ground-shaking appointments. The inevitable nature of setbacks, failure and shortcomings demands a Success-minded fellow to firstly appease disappointments which can be liken to an unwilling secretary in order to gain access to the willing Boss-Appointments
Deterring hinderance(s) no doubt will pop-up; fierce
enmity would rise up and the mist of frustration will cake your efforts
and if allowed, will successfully ruin it.
Obviously, the road
to fulfillment, feat, leap and accomplishment is long, narrow, meander
and dreary. Thus, trekking on danger shouldn't be a stranger to one.
The need to wear the cloth of belief of insistent determination is
highly essential to the realization of goals. Also, is the need to
resolve not to relent until the point of victory is important.
Never you go weary in the face of complexity(ies). The conviction to
forge ahead must be strong, recurrent, resolute, ardent and unbending.
As you work on being the Bread-winner of your household(and by
extension your locality), I leave you to see prosperity in adversity and
not otherwise.
Remember: PERSISTENCE IS THE ONLY RESISTANCE TO FAILURE!
