I remember those, that the challenges and huddles of life had tied a stone-knotted rope to their necks and left them to drown in it's ocean. But then, I remember that there are people sailing in luxurious ships with wine and bread to dine on life's ocean.
I remember that little child sleeping in the cold streets with no mum or dad, no food to eat, no hope for a brighter tomorrow.

I remember those seeking for jobs, long years of search just to make ends meet, but still haven't found any.

With tears in my eye, I asked myself;
Is life fair to give champaign to some and mere water to others?
Is there a way I can change creation and put myself In a position where I would be the GIVER and not the RECEIVER?
Can I restructure life to suit me and never bring bad things my way?
Amidst these thoughts, I began to remember the likes of Ralph Lauren, George sorts, John Paul dejoria, Harold Simmons, among others, who didn't allow their background or what life had given, make them want to commit suicide or stop existing, but decided to make the best out of life, against all odds. Just like they say;
when life gives you lemon, make lemonades.
Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!...i REMEMBER that was the answer, for if everyone on earth was made to be the GIVER, who would RECIEVE?. The power to be happy and successful is right in the hands of every individual irrespective of background or race.
So cheer up in the good and bad times, put up positive vibes, always be optimistic to life, sleep and rest when you have to, work so hard till dawn when you need to, believe in something if you can, trust on something if you will, eat and exercise if you want to, share your pain and suffering with someone if you must.
For life is meaningless without happiness and too short to carry the burden of life's huddles on our shoulders. The "wise man", after numerous research had said ;
if you want to conquer life, just be happy, especially when life tells you otherwise. For where life exist, hope is not far fetched.
So look through the pain, look through the childlessness, look through the sickness, look through the poverty, look through your weaknesses, look through the discrimination, look through the isolation, look through the persecution, look through the maltreatments, look through the hardship, look through the mirror and see the "SUCCESSFUL YOU",then work towards it and never give up.
GOD BLESS YOU!
