1. INTRODUCTION.
' There is no space created unless you create one'. From the blast of the whistle. From the flag- off, first ever race with other trillion co- competitors. That was lesson 001, How To Be great?
Was it all laughter? Joy and merry making? Did you resent grinding, scrapping, shredding the hurdles, obstacles, road blocks? Where else could you have learnt to grate? Otherwise, wouldn't you have been angry had you not given all . Wasn't not time to retire those who are not due to be crowned the champion. ?
Live It Full of Excellence ( LIFE). You started it already. Don't lower the standard to fit. Don't let life catch up with you. Don't settle for less because it is available. If there is nothing positive ,to grate, where will great come from? Find out what to grate.
2. ISN'T THERE ANYTHING TO GRATE? THIS IS WHAT I GRATE.
I).From my mother, I learnt that , there are some hard condiments whose ingredients lie inside their seed. These outer hard cover need to removed to meet requirements to make good pot of soup. Some of them like nutmeg etc need to rubbed on rough hard surface to pass through the tiny perforated holes. That's their proper size, to make soup , ' finger licking good'. Life is like preparing a good soup. Let's take keen interest to comply with recipe 'clinically', to make it taste real juicy. Grate!
Ii). Poverty mentality, should be grated. By knawing into it, rubbing it on rough surface of life to shred it into tiny sieve able pieces . That when it passes the sieve of challenges, it will reveal the hidden stuff. Then it release the manifold of its rich creativity, that shout: I am available. I am accessible. Can't you hear me? Those are voices of captivity of poverty. That's productivity that is willing to submit to scrap, to shred, to be freed from deceit of outer layers. To show why we are here.
iii). Disease is Ease. ' Ease is greater danger to progress' than hardship. ' The old mould which hang over us as if we are it's slaves , should be scrapped . That's what the grater does. We were deceived that mathematics were only for exceptional students. Until it was time 'for come to become'. Then it dawned on me that I am what I chose to become. Grate must tear down to shreds , concept and the walls, already constructed in us about what it means to be difficult, Tell difficulty, I am more difficult to be defeated. Ask Thomas Edison. etc.
3. TO BE GREAT.
I). It's sad. One of the greatest diservice ,we do to ourselves and to humanity is this: To not fully use our abilities, talents, assets, gifts, potential etc. And it negatively becomes a reference point. Like as in the grave yard , all classes of champions that were not. Nothing can be worse. We are unbeatable facility. Marvellous ' structure". Full of unstoppable wonders. And yet the beat goes on. This is only tip of the iceberg.
ii). As it is you Great. Go out and find it. Make things great. Look back at how life lifted itself from the stone age, little in number to a whopping 7 billion plus people.,tiday . Your life is a story. What are you writing about? It doesn't need to change the world to be popular. Make it significant, write big value on your blank cheque. How much are you worth?. If there is great? .Grate is around the corner.
iii). My family has put me on the map of human life. While our teacher was teaching us map reading in geography class. Nature and it's features scale to size in its topography. Like in geography, what is the relationship with our family that provides us with all our natural features. Make them great.
iv. Nothing is good enough when it stops short of great ' enough''. If it can still happen , there can be more than enough. One man's effort changed the world, forever. You can be the next latest version of Edison , Nelson Mandela.etc.
4. WE CAN DO MORE.
I).By sharing in sacrifices. The soul and sole purpose of life is to discover our gifts and talents and donate to the world.. Indeed, every hand gets firewood from the forest according to capacity. When you get to the top ,remember to lift the hungry and needy. You can become game changer for your community. Strong people lift up others.
ii). Teach people by example. What matters is not only your success'but your significance, for emphasis. Encourage those who are weighed down by gruesome experience and torture of rejection. Encourage them to use such bricks thrown at them as foundation for great future. This has been, helpful to me. And I share it. It's only you who can prove people's opinion right or wrong. Sooner, they will ask you how did it happen. Be strong.
iii). I am only one. But I am one. I cannot do everything. I can do something. Inspire and awaken new possibilities in people, to enable them transcend ordinary experience and limitations. Move people away from self pity to possibility.' I can'is a conqueror. That's the first step to victory. Help people change how they perceive their capabilities.
The greater they positively ,grate condiments for good soup, the tastier the food. For where there is to grate, there is great. Use the recipe.
