To understand life, you have to study life. Life and human existence are two beautiful phenomena. They ate the call on earth of man. To really make it colossus-wise, all beings have to equip themselves with the sciences and knowledge necessary for the great challenge of man’s existence. Existence itself is a challenge.
We cannot afford to come and fail. No human being on earth ever wishes to fail in his or her lifetime. Wrap on your entire being fine, act fine and above all build fine faith and you will definitely face challenges in life and succeed. Success is golden and success is also a gift meant for all and sundry. Success is plenty not a free gift item. He, who must have it, must work for it.
However, one must ask for it before it gets to one. It does not get to a loafer, an idler, the faithless, the disgruntled, the disenchanted, the negatively possessed and the likes. Rather, success is meant for the man who is living both in mind, soul and body- the man who possesses and practices all the virtues of success-hard work, faithfulness, hope, confidence, sincerity, good attitude, trust, honesty and the like.
If we face the challenges of life, we must succeed. One has to know what success is and entails, and work on the path of success and greatness. We must not settle for less. Success is sweet, success is golden and success is a rare gift of lifetime. To succeed through challenges of life, we should think success, dream success and work for success. Gear up yourself properly for success and then you will succeed. We should discard all negative thoughts in our life.
My position in this lecture is that people should face challenges in life with a much determined vigour and stop henceforth from deceiving themselves and others by thinking, believing and preaching that what people become are already predetermined and predestined by God. No: people should desist from bringing confusion into their ways. Face challenges in life, you will think success. Eat success, Drink success, sleep with success and then you will succeed if only you combine them with hard work.
Furthermore, Charles Babbage, Von Neuman and few others are outstanding and finely distinguished in the computer technology, because they had a dream about computer evolution and development and they followed the path of their dream. Robert Owen and Dr. William King among other pioneers of their day are remembered today for the role they played in the evolution of cooperative business enterprise as another system countering the individualistic and exploitative capitalistic economy. Frederick Taylor, Henri Fayol, etc are remembered today because of their inroad into the growth and development of scientific management. Pele of Brazil, in soccer mastery, Great Zik of Nigeria, Nkurumah of Ghana and some are also remembered for their profitable use of mankind. All these giants were not the only human beings in their own time but as they knew what they wanted and how to get at it, so many others too numerous to mention have no aim, vision, direction let alone to go about attaining it.
May God bless all of us for listening attentively.
