WHY NOT DWELL ON THIS To BE a SUCCESS in LIFE.

I found this so worthy that I saw more to the need to take on it as life proceeded.

You call them qoutes, but I see of the circumstances and the understanding of GREAT THINKERs ideas so rolled out unto humanity. Of course these had been adapted by many, some toil through the path but what are doing about it. 

Why not dwell on some of these  inspirations to connect a story as to create yearnings into the vacuum as well bringing satisfaction unto life and nature.

Some of the great ideas of these great thinkers as stated are; 

• 'The way to starting and getting started to get something done is to-Quit talking and START doing something.'..._Walt Disney.

•  'There is NO AGONY worse than stories left UNTOLD by a stricken heart.'....._Anonymous

• We are not always to expected to wake and wait unto some things to happen, rather to think of how to make things happen.

By this virtue, seminars, conferences, summit, business meetings are being organized. All with the very motive and aim to groom individual and help some persons find their focal and point of navigation into that passionate lifestyle that brings forth great yield. Yes, believe you lest you have found that love in what you are doing or intend doing, there exist of NO FOCAL point for you to dare navigate through that very path.

So where is the love as humanity, not even you is permitted to be a limitation to what you can do. 

Get INVOLVED as in life, some people cause happiness where ever they go; while some when ever they go..._Oscar Wilde.

So, what do you want to be known of you, a solution

TiME @ A POINT CALLED EVERYTHINGGG..!

TIME

IS

EVERYTHING.

Just as it is still said EVERYTHing is time.

In  the  Phylosophical words of albert EISTEIN, he says and I quote, ̏ We live in a timeless world of which man saw the need to create a unit which he called time to help man as will be used in experimental measurement, for everything happens at an instance and point. ”_... Albert  Eistein.

Keep doing it hence you are doing it right the Boom shakalaka is sure to come from that which is on a spot….. reach for it.!!

THE GOOD THING ABOUT FAILURE.....Episode IV.

It is amazing how difficult people’s past can be yet they still nurture the resilience to overcome. We never get to know of this until they tell us about it. I once was in a conversation with my class prefect NDUBUISI TANSI FESTUS and he narrated to me the educational ordeal he faced as a growing boy in Kafanchan, southern Kaduna, Nigeria; how they sat on stones under trees to learn English language in Hausa. But he never allowed this experience to deter him from the beautiful life he desired to live; it may interest you to know that he now speaks English so well and fluently.
I really love the Catholic Doctrine on Penance. It gives me a clear Christian dimension on the issue of failure.  It does not condemn the sinner but rather encourages the sinner to get up and turn away from his/her sin. Obviously, there are scriptural instances of this notion, if my little bible is something to go by did CHRIST not forgive the thief on the cross (Lk 23:43).
Upon seeing the title of this article, my classmate Ahar Jacob quickly told me that he sat for SSCE six times before he succeeded with the required credits. He is now a poet and has successfully authored a collection of poems titled “The Last Hope”. 
I don’t even want to go into the stories of millions of business men and women who fail but yet nurse the ambition to still struggle for success of which my MUM is a reference point.
The Greek playwright and Philosopher Sophocles once said, “One must wait until the evening to see how splendid the day has been”. Invariably, there is no need to be hasty in our conclusions to life.
While delivering a paper on ‘writing ability’ in the Spiritual year house, ADAGA BENJAMIN comically passed a message that we all shoved off in laughter. In a bit to encourage the audience on their capability to write he said; “YOU TOO CAN WRITE” implying that everyone could write if they desire to. Now this sounds so true and makes a lot of sense to me despite the humour.
I will like to conclude thus:
Failure should be our healer not our killer, our elevator and not our undertaker, It should be the spring board from which we rise in race onto the track just like the athlete. Failure is a delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can conquer if only we realise ourselves and put in more effort. 

SALUTATIONS TO MY MASTERS, VERY REMARKABLE PERSONS WHO HAVE FAILED AND YET DID NOT GIVE UP.
MY FATHER, MR OBUMNEME OKEKE,
MY MOTHER, MRS NWABUIFE OKEKE,
MARTIN LURTHER KING JNR,
MY CLASS REP, NNDUBUISI TANSI FESTUS,
PRESIDENT BARRACK OBAMA,
KOSSY CHIKEME,
AHAR JACOB; THE POET,
AND TO THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE STRUGGLING OUT THERE TO SUCCEED.
We will never give up UNTIL OUR GOOD IS BETTER AND OUR BETTER BEST.
                                                                                                    THANK YOU.

Nonetheless, I am impressed with a particular positive impact failure makes in me and indeed in all of us. And it is; its assertive determination. Failure stirs up my zeal to get back on my feet and even transcend my comfort zone; it generates an overwhelming courage in me that influences my unflinching quest for success.

While I was in secondary school, I was really comfortable with an unrecognised average result. I settled so much for this output that I could not think of myself as anything better. I so much devalued my academic prowess that I did not even have the time to ponder if I could do better or perhaps even emerge in a scholastic limelight or better still, develop some special skills that I could be known for. But no, I just preferred to be the way I was, crude and unwilling.  I will ever remain thankful to my first day of reflection, the day that informed a significant step to my success, the day of my liberation from intellectual defeat, the day when I sat quietly and challenged myself, the day when I realised my human equality with others, the day when I reminded myself of myself, when I thought that I too can be as good just like every other person. This definitive day makes up my story too.

 I once had a class mate KOSSY, who was from my neighbourhood and fortunately we both gained ingress into the minor seminary at the same time. We grew up together in school

I remember growing up, I remember having in various occasions interact with my DAD, and he constantly expressed his outlook to life, and at these times he could not help but tell me how he lost all he had acquired as a young merchant during the civil war in Chad. How he sailed back to Nigeria with my Mum whom he had just married about a month with no property to show for all his labours, “am sure Christ would be happy with my Dad if he were to be his apostle because he carried no haversack”. I was immersed in pity for him, I thought of how difficult life was for them as young couple. I remember being startled still of his present financial status, which does not reflect his earlier failed story, and then he told me how he started gradually all over in the village to make ends meet. He was skilled in crafting and so he produced bags, baskets, and mats made of raffia and sold them on market days. He also went into farming to earn money. In him now, I do not see a man who went through difficult times to earn a living. Now the conventional wisdom is, people with such depressing past are always unsuccessful, even if they are not it is seldom and difficult, what NGOZI ADICHIE will call

 I like failure, and it informs my positive opinion about it.My recent understanding of it has made many persons ask, what do you mean by the good thing about failure? I remember my sister EBERE once made a comment, “How can failure connote anything good, it is by its very nature negative and so no one would like to identify with it”. Now, the mental shift of my perception about failure has triggered a lot of thoughts and of course received series of patronising criticism of which I am quite willing to contend. I have really wondered about this myself and it makes me laugh anytime I think of it. Obviously this sounds bizarre but not after I have thought of it over and over again so that anyone who thinks otherwise sounds bizarre instead. Don’t mind my intonation; this is not an encouragement for FAILURE but rather a discouragement TO BE FAILED
Before I proceed, I will like to illustrate what seems to be failure. There is an Idoma word “GWONU” which commonly translates to FALL. It also reminds me of the Igbo connotation of the same fall which is “ODIDA”.
