The Richest Man
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on March 11, 2018, 8:07 AMTHE RICHEST MAN.
There is treasure for every one of us. Yes, right there where you are. You are digging for gold; your neighbor is digging for the same thing. The neighbor has found his but yours is a little deeper. If you stop, you would not have gold. But if you put more effort, the glory would come. In school we used to hear our classmates tell us that they had studied enough for “B”, and they would give up on “A”.
The A itself is not the prize. It is the attitude to getting it that matters. By settling for that B, the students had stopped digging. Visit CAC, men dug after the SAP of 1980s and banking boom came in early 1990s. If you check again, there is another boom (merchant banking) since the last recession.
To succeed, you must keep digging. Do not give up – it is very close.

Quote from Francis Oguaju on March 11, 2018, 11:09 AMBefore you give up on something, think about how far you have come along. To die fighting is to win, persistence and tenacity will always trump desertion and hopelessness.
