Dear
reader, this article is not scheduled to appear today, but when I realized that
this is the right time to post it, I have no choice than to post it today and shift
the other article that should have appeared today to another day.
All these
while, I have been vacillating and procrastinating about posting this article
on this blog until I got inspired by my learned friend, Akinrolabu Jumoke
Samuel. On her Facebook page, she shared a summary of the inspirational message
of President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria which you are going to read below.
Without
mincing words, here is the article, as it is said: “There is nothing as
powerful as an idea that has reached its execution stage.”
Year
2011 has come and gone but its memory will continue to linger in our mind for a
long time to come. Year 2011 was a year when the political heavy weights in
Nigerian politics warmed up to contest the presidential election. The election
had come and gone, but what is perhaps most remarkable to those of us in the
field of motivation and personal development is the inspiring message of
President Goodluck Jonathan.
While
campaigning for the presidency of Nigeria, President Goodluck Jonathan said: “I
was not born rich, and in my youth, I never imagined that I would be where I am
today, but not once did I ever give up. Not once did I imagine that a child
from Otuoke, a small village in the Niger Delta, will one day rise to the
position of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“I
was raised by my mother and father with just enough to meet our daily needs. In
my early days in school, I had no shoes, no school bags. I carried my books in
my hands but never despaired; no car to take me to school but I never
despaired. There were days I had only one meal a day but I never despaired. I
walked miles and crossed rivers to school every day but I never despaired.
Didn’t have power supply, didn’t have generators, studied with local lanterns
but I never despaired.
“In
spite of these, I finished secondary school, attended university of
Portharcourt, and now hold a doctorate degree. Fellow Nigerians, if I could
make it, you too can make it.”
What
a great inspiration! Dear reader, if the president’s message doesn’t inspire
you to become great in life, nothing else would. This article is perhaps the
shortest article you will read on this blog, but I tell you: it is an article
you have to keep pondering on and draw strength from to enable you work your
way to greatness.
Until
I come your way soon, I leave you with this message: NEVER DESPAIR, YOU TOO CAN
MAKE IT!
