ARGUING AGAINST SUCCESS - AFCON 2013
The question is: can anybody argue against success?
The Super Eagles won the match and the atmosphere all over
the world changed especially in Nigeria.
I witnessed a man, who called 4 different people congratulating
them: I wondered to myself ‘what’s wrong with this man? Does he know the family
of some of the Super Eagles Team?’ but apparently, the man was simply excited.
All of a sudden, millions of people were happy to be called
Nigerians; the Victory brought smiles to our faces, even though we don’t have a
share in the trophy personally and the team that played the game does not know
most of us. We were simply HAPPY.
Why were we happy?
“A goal in either half from Emmanuel Emenike and Sunday
Mba booked Nigeria a spot in the semifinals of the Africa Cup of Nations
with a 2-1 victory, sending Ivory Coast crashing out”
I saw genuine smiles and I decided to think back to the
previous match (Nigeria and Zambia), we didn’t hear the last of it. From bbm
dps (blackberry messenger display pictures) to bbm updates to facebook posts, the
Super Eagles were called all sorts of names.
Some graphic artist designed
pictures depicting the disappointment derived from the match, in no less than
5minutes funny and ridiculous pictures started flying, you would wonder if
these people were expecting the result we got before the match was played.
A pessimist said: ‘did Nigeria actually win the match? There
must be a foul play’ instantly I ignored this person: at that moment it was all
about the success of the Super Eagles Nigeria *winks*
There’s a lesson from this match: it dawned on me that ‘the
stone that the builders rejected is now a corner stone’ Acts 4:11
No matter who you are, once you’re successful you become a
big star: everybody would like to associate themselves with you, those who have
counted you worthless will suddenly think you’re someone of a great worth.
SUCCESS has loads of friends!
Has anybody ever told you that you will never make it? Be successful
and you will see them coming back telling you how much they believed in you,
how much they have been praying for you and how much faith they have always had
in you.
Have you been told you're ugly? Not up to a particular standard?
*I laugh* you just be successful and you will see how beautiful you
really are, how people will make you feel beautiful with their words and
hypes and how people will make you their real standard, thereby
becoming a brand.
There’s nothing wrong in associating with successful people
but it would be nice for us all not to look down on anyone
The best revenge you can give anybody is to be a SUCCESS in
life
