ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to openly appreciate those people who made it possible for this book to surface into a reality.
To all my friends who brought out and consistently continued to bring out the best in me directly and indirectly, seeing me through no limitations. To the future yet to come, a seed is sown which in no time would grow into a new generation of extraordinary.
To all who taught me, showing me some simple life principles, along the classrooms of life one of whom I remember, Mr. Adekunle Wright, you will always live forever in my heart, even though I cannot mention many you all know I refer to you well in good tidings.
Finally, I pray each day ‘Lord, may I fulfill my dreams’ for they are pictured’.
The idea of this book surfacing into reality the day I watched a movie ‘ELYSIUM’.

PREFACE
I believe that life is unequal, we never can all be rich and neither can all be poor, we never can chase all our wants but we can get all our needs, we possibly can fulfill all our dreams and desires if we have the courage to. We cannot all be leaders neither can we be all followers.
People have talents but no connections to establish them, some with connections but not knowing their talents and figuring them out on time. Someone once quoted
‘THE RICHEST PLACE ON EARTH IS THE GRAVEYARD’, true because many never showcased and announced themselves through their talents to the world. Dream big, live well while you are still young, be at peace with yourself and with others, dare the impossible because someday, they will be possible.
Life is a 50/50 challenge, dare to take risks, because if you do not, you are a failure. A quote goes like this ‘PEOPLE DON’T CRY BECAUSE THEY ARE WEAK, THEY CRY BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN STRONG FOR TOO LONG’.
Let go of things because bigger ones are waiting ahead. Life is a race, people fall, people fail, do not fail or fall because you did not attempt, rather fall or fail because you tried, that there is what makes you different, unique and stands you out among others, you failed does not mean you are a failure, you only become a failure when you refuse to try, when you give up.
Remember that there is always a reward, a hall of fame, a turning point that would bring glory to your path.
There are three categories of people in life, find yourself.
1. The crowd/spectators: they are the watchers who will never take part in glory, they do not find their respective class in life, they let the bus take them anywhere, and they could be antagonists, critics, distractors.
2. The guides/mentors: they are people destined to help the heroes. If these people never find their path early in life, their heroes may never rise.
3. The heroes: they are stars, high flyers, world changers, problem solvers who are meant to shine in their prime.
Quote:
‘LIFE IS NOT A PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED BUT A REALITY TO BE EXPERIENCED’.
