I decided to put up this piece and I hope it will transform someone.
Tolerating ignorance in others, makes you more ignorant.
If you desire to achieve something great, don't do small things, dare the impossible and fly high.
Stop comparing yourself, because there are lots of vision and things to create. Spend your time innovating something new rather than wasting your energy draining your brain.
Many people posses abilities to do great things but are limited by their own thoughts. Don't allow anyone belittle your dream. The moment you accept to put a limit on your dreams, you have already accepted failure in life.
You need to move out of your comfort zone, and do the things you have never done, if you wish to attain excellence. Don't just wish, but work.
I believe if Bill Gates was to be a Nigerian, a lot of people would have talked him out of his dreams. This is true because an average man with a small vision is intimated by a man who has global dreams.
Any individual who desire to be outstanding in life should never share his dream with a man with a small vision, a man who thinks of daily bread rather than everlasting bread.
I was reading a book where I saw these words "You can't test your destiny cautiously". Somethings are just the way they are, and not the way they are meant to be. You must go for what you want, else what you want will never come to you.
I watched a great preacher who spoke a lot of sense. He said "a lot of people just believe that whatever is theirs will come to them, and if it doesn't come to them, it's not destined to be for them. The preacher actually said, those thoughts are foolish thoughts. He further advised those set of thinkers to sit at home and allow the books they've read in school to come into their mind.
You can't make a place for yourself if you only live under the family tree. Break out from your shell and launch yourself into greater heights. No matter how tasking and difficult the price for greatness is, it will surely produce amazing results.
Most people want to depend on others without making themselves useful. These set of persons end up getting the least results compared to their expectations.
Helen Keller said, "Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing."
Try not to be a hero in your mind, but work towards becoming a hero. Don't look down on anyone, thinking you have achieved a lot better than the rest. This thought and act is called pride.
The only reason pride will lift you up is actually to bring you down to nothing, and return you to the beginning of your life, in terms of achievement. When such a things happen, how will you look at those who are now ahead of you? Will you look down on them or look up to them? You better think smartly because even postage stamps become useless when they get stucked to themselves.
Making a decision is difficult, but failure to take a decision will make a man miserable.
James Hightower asserted "There is nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos."
The most foolish thing to do is to stand on the middle of a busy road. You may not even live to tell others the story. This is exactly how lots of people keep their dreams on the middle of the road and allow it to die.
Even in the Bible, the book of James said "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways".
A lot of people suffer from the disease called confusion. They really don't know what they desire in life. They are like wheelbarrows, waiting to be loaded with burden and pushed towards any direction.
Often time, people confuse thinking and deciding. Thinking is an activity carried out within your comfort zone, while deciding is traveling on a road without turning back until you arrive your destination, even if the road is rough, dusty or Sandy.
Maurice Witzer said "You seldom get what you go after unless you know in advance what you want".
Note - To move away from where you are, you must decide where you are going to.
I hope you find my piece educative.
Godspeed to you.
