You can be great in life, yes you can. That is God's plan for your life.
You must never resign to fate.
You must never allow anything or anyone
to stop you. If Joseph succeeded despite all odds, you too can succeed.
If Barack Obama could become the first African American President of the
United States of America at a time when it was least expected, you too
can become the person God wants you to become.
Abraham Lincoln became the 16th President of the United States of
America against all odds. He lost his mother when he was nine years old.
he lost an election to the Illinois state legislature in 1832; failed
to obtain a desired appointment as Commissioner of the General Land
office in Illinois in 1849; lost senate races in 1855 and 1858, lost a
Vice Presidential nomination in 1856. But against all odds through
determination and commitment to his dreams of greatness, he eventually
became the 16th president of the United States in 1861.

"I will study and prepare myself, and one day when the time comes, I will be ready"
Of course, his time came and he became the 16th president of the United
states of America. YOU TOO can succeed if you think you can. Your
opportunity will come but you must prepare yourself for it. yes, YOU CAN
DO THE IMPOSSIBLE.

If Helen Keller could summon the courage to conquer her world despite
her physical disability, yes, you can do the impossible. She was born a
normal child in every way but was diagnosed with 'acute congestion of
the stomach and brain" at nineteen months old and suffered a fever that
took her to the brink of death. When the fever broke, the disease was
gone but so were her disabilities to see, hear and speak. At this age,
this was a terrible condition, JUST
IMAGINE YOURSELF BEEN GIVEN BIRTH TO AND AFTER NINETEEN MONTHS YOU COULD
NO LONGER SEE. expert s predicted a life "DOOMED TO A VOID ETERNAL DARK
SILENCE".
Keller, however refused to relinquish her curiosity about the world or her desire to communicate. her attempt to communicate prompted her to overturn the baby carriage in which her baby sister was sleeping and shortly thereafter, to catch her apron on fire by the family's hearth. Alarmed by this behaviour, her parents sought help, including the counsel of Alexander Bell. A year later, the search for a teacher ended when Anne Mansfield Sullivan became keller's mentor and friend and taught her to make an association with objects and letters that wee 'fingered" into her hand. Within months, keller's remarkable progress had attacked the interest of educator's nation wide.
With a strong determination not to limit her communication to reading
and writing, keller began to take speech lessons and eventually learned
to speak not only English but also French and German. She successfully
completed courses in latin, Greek and Roman History and she earned
HONORS IN ENGLISH AND GERMAN. In 1900, she entered Radcliff College.
It was during her lifetime, she lectured in every state of the union,
speaking mainly on the needs of the blind and raising funds to help
found the national Committee for the Prevention of Blindness. She also
helped create the American Foundation for the Blind. She wrote a number
of books and essays, and she made a motion picture of HER LIFE.
Her story is a proof that nothing can stop you getting to the top and
achieving your visions in life. Although she was denied of physical
light (owing to her blindness), she did not deny herself the spiritual -
VISION. When asked what she considered the number one greatest tragedy
of man, SHE RESPONDED UNEQUIVOCALLY THAT " THAT THE NUMBER ONE GREATEST TRAGEDY OF MAN IS HAVING SIGHT WITHOUT VISION". She
has proven that no one can stop your reaching your goals and being what
you are meant to be if you do not stop yourself. i believe that you too
can succeed. YES, YOU CAN!
You may be a school drop-out, but you are not a destiny drop-YOU. Your
destiny is colourful, you can achieve greatness if you take a step to
develop your abilities. I read a story of a man named RICHARD BRANSON
who through personal development became a resounding success. he is the
emperor of the VIRGIN EMPIRE, a conglomerate. He was a school drop-out,
who started his journey as a newspaper vendor and developed the art of
reading. he was once listed as the 11th wealthiest Briton.
He owns an airline, a soft drink company, a music industry among other
companies. About TWENTY OF HIS MANAGERS ARE MILLIONAIRES. EACH ARRIVES
FOR THEIR MEETING IN THEIR PERSONAL JETS. Though he was a school
drop-out, he was NOT A " brain drop-out." His story also shows that you
have no excuse to remain a failure. you can become a success. YES, YOU
CAN!
Great ambassadors, the colour of your skin is not a disadvantage in
getting to the top and been the best. Barack Obama was a black man of a
Kenyan father yet, through hardwork, determination and commitment to
purpose, he became the first black president of America. You are not in
lack because you are black. You lack because you slack. The story of
president Obama shows that the black race is not disadvantaged in the
school of greatness. Any black person can become the best anywhere in
this world.
