Sacrifices

in #nigeria7 years ago

Suppose Nelson Mandela had yielded to the threat of apartheid, it would have been a very big loss to the dignity of mankind.
Before South African got their independent, 250,000 tireless marchers exchanged tired feet for tired souls on that 1963 steamy hot, August day in the nation.

Suppose Moses had chosen to be the son of Pharaoh's daughter rather than the liberator of his race, only God knows where they would be now.

It takes the power of an inner force to like life on your terms and not someone else's term

We are not Mandela nor Moses, but we can achieve what these great men achieve in life only if we can overcome our fears by doing things we fear most until the fear has no control over us.

If we really want to accomplish anything in life, we must not be afraid of running the risks of assuming the responsibilities.

To fight for real change, one must be willing to lose and go out of his comfort zones like Moses and Mandela did, cos the real change goes with a lot of sacrifices.
This is election period, nobody should trade his or her right, dignity, freedom and future for ordinary rice or pittance (chicken change).

Don't fill your belly today and destroy your future. Nothing brings humanity so much suffering and humiliation like poverty. And poverty isn't an empty pocket, it's a state of mind if left unchecked can destroy all chances of progress and achievement.
