THE CHAIN REACTION.......................

One of my favourite poet and motivational speaker Suli Breaks once said "If you do not build your dreams,someone would hire you to help build theirs". But unfortunately some people do not even have a dream. This might sound controversilal but let me explain.

When the europeans came to Africa to seek cheap labour (slaves), they captured so many slaves who ended up in plantations and work from dawn till dusk nwith no hope of freedom, Drawn into despair, some committed suicide and others worked silently and hoped for death to take them away. We can see how despair made this individuals loose thie dream. But they were some slaves who did not lose hope and still had the dream alive. The dream of freedom and being prosperous e,g the first African writer Equino Olaudah, the Catholic saint and icon Josephine Bakhita and so on. How does that relate to our lives today???

Due to the high rate of unemployment, many young Nigerians have given into despair and lost hope of being above average. But irrespective of our fears and anger, some young Nigerians would still emerge as success stories. Why can't it be you?
You may have nice excuses like "we don't have good books, chairs, accommodations in schools e.t.c, but the truth is that when you go to apply for a job, nobody cares if you had the best books or the best accommodation, all they care about is CAN YOU DO THE JOB? If you want to be a success story, there should be no excuse for not doing something.
People who have emerged successful in the past were those went against the currents of the society because moving with the current means that you will be like everyone else. Everyone else does not read any book in year, spends all he has before his next salary, complains when faced with the slightest difficulty. Why aspire to be like everyone else by moving with the current of despair like the slaves???
Micheal Faraday did not go to school but today proffessors bstudy his works...
I never had a computer before i learnt proggramming....
Albert Einstein principal in high school thought that Albert was hopeless and foolish. Even when Albert came to visit him years later when he was a renowned proffessor, the ignorant principal thought that Albert came to beg for money.

If you actually want to be a success story, you will see many obstacle as a lifting stone because there would be no reason to give up when you can view the bigger picture
Break the chain reaction of despair and unlike the slaves, stand up to your evil master (sloth) and say!!!!!                                                             
                                                         YES I CAN DO IT
