You are the best......

There will always be an obstacle, all the way to the top. We live in a society where many people expect you to fail. We breed enemies of success who make your business their business. They see you in their dreams. They tell you how you should live your life. They are angry when you look happy and joyous. Your failure is their greatest delight. They thrive on rumours.
I am yet to see a great man without controversies so if you worry too much about what people would say, especially behind you, you will never step out of your house.
King Sunny Ade sang “Let Them Say” while Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey even expanded on the theme in his philosophical song about an old man, his son and their ass.The father rode on the ass, While the son walked behind him, and wicked people said he was a wicked man making his son walk behind him while he is enjoying riding the ass.
He dropped and allowed his son to ride; they met him again and enquired why he will allow his son ride while he walks behind.
They both climbed the ass and when they met him, He was accused of wanting to kill the ass.
They dropped and the ass was walking while they walked behind and they laughed them saying they are daft allowing the ass to walk majestically while they walk behind.
There is a saying about honey that no matter what you change the name of honey to, you cannot change the sweetness
A good example of my analysis above is the life of Late Chief M.K.O Abiola who had a lot of people who loved him and also a lot of enemies who said unprintable things about him, Inquired about his source of wealth, called him an Islamic Fundamentalist.
Abiola didn’t mind and went ahead with his life and service to humanity par excellence.
He never forgot to point out anytime he had the opportunity that he was not a perfect man.
He succeeded in engraving his name on the heart of many people before leaving this world and also won the Election considered as the freest and fairest in the history of this nation.
Be reminded that no matter what people say about you, Be the best you can, Do your best and leave the rest.
In no time the people who are criticizing you will be the ones to praise you.
Believe in yourself, Be sure you are the best, Be second to none, Live a God fearing life and Love your neighbours as yourself.
God knows you before he made you and you are so beautiful in his eyes.
You are the best.
