A young boy was looking for advice about life and came to his grandfather, an old Cherokee.
“Each one of us has two wolves inside us,” he said to the boy.
“One is evil – he is always angry at everyone around him and feels envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, and false pride”
He continued, “The other wolf is good, he is in harmony and feels joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
There is a constant fight going on between those two wolves. And it’s often hard to live with this fight as each wolf tries to dominate our spirits”.
This fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.”
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee smiled and replied, “The one you feed. Sometimes we do mistake in life, not just because we are humans, we do mistake because we take actions/ plains that we don’t properly plain of.
Those who speak of progression but are afraid of change are self-repressed and therefore unable to reach any further than their eyes can already see.
We do not get to choose how we start out in life. We do not get to choose the day we are born or the family we are born into, what we are named at birth, what country we are born in, and we do not get to choose our ancestry. All these things are predetermined by a higher power. By the time you are old enough to start making decisions for yourself; a lot of things in your life are already in place. It’s important, therefore, that you focus on the future, the only thing that you can change
Those who have no achievements of their own. They've made nothing, created nothing, worked at nothing. They will leave no trace that they ever existed. They have no legacy except for their names, which they did nothing to earn, so time waits for no man.
I leave you with this quote “you may encounter many defeats, but you most not be defeated”.
We are all tools for change, accepting the "Good" Wolf will only increase our chances for a Good Developed Nigeria of our dreams, now vision and in action. BE you whatever race you call yourself in Nigeria, WE ARE ONE. Our united is our best, our purpose for togetherness should be our only focus, we are what we make of our future, We Are Nigerians, ready!" - Morah Emmanuel
PS -| Life itself is our best teacher, i recall discussing with Mr Muo Charles, CEO ChartPearl Edge Resources Limited of how long we have been friends and still friend and i noted to him that if our integrity hasn't been questioned over these years, then our friendship was meant to be. His experience studying abroad was a tale to suit that of being there and receiving the best life offers but always had the relish of coming back home, to begin the benefits gained from the study.
