HELP OTHERS TO HELP YOURSELF.

A LESSON FROM THE FAMOUS CRISTIANO RONALDO! 

Never think in a moment that all you have will last for long, because they're with you just for a short period of time. But what you've done with those luxuries and your influence on people will count. Who knows what can happen in the next few nano seconds of life, help is inevitable, help is unseen but a feeling of human obligation towards reasonable assistance. 

It takes me to a maestro as a reference point, a leader and 5 times world footballer from Madira (Portugal), Cristiano Ronaldo Dos Santos Aveiro and his friend, Alberto Fantrau. A great story on helping hands. Relax and read about their heart melting lessons about helping hands as it unfolds...
When he received one of his awards recently, Ronaldo dedicated it to a certain ... Alberto Fantrau. Then said: "Yes I am a great footballer and all my success is due to my friend Alberto good heart"
People looked at one another and said, "Who is this Mr. Fantrau?" 

Then Ronaldo went on: "We played together in a youth team. When Sporting of Lisbon recruiters came to observe us, they told us that the striker who scored the most goals will be recruited into the sports academy.

That day we won 3-0. I scored the first goal and then Albert scored the 2nd with the head. And then the 3rd goal was the one that impressed everyone. Alberto started from the wing, then found himself face to face with the keeper, dribbled the goalkeeper and all he had to do was to push the ball into the empty goal post . In the meantime I was running to his side and instead of shooting into the empty goal post, Alberto decided to pass the ball to me and I scored. This is how I found myself at the Sporting Lisbon Academy. After the game I went to him, and asked him "why did you do that?" And he replied, "Because I know that you are better than I am and You will go far in life in this game,  you needed that push"


Curious to know more, the journalists began to investigate and were able to meet this Alberto Fantrau to ask him if the story told by Ronaldo is true, and he confirmed it, adding that his career as a footballer ended after that match as it was the only opportunity to become professional but i was sure Ronaldo would go far and do better. So I remained unemployed fulfilled and happy.

However, journalists, observing his luxurious house and his fleet of cars parked in the garage asked Alberto "but being unemployed how could you have such a house and cars and living so luxuriously? You seem rather comfortable physically " Alberto's answer: "All that? .. is Ronaldo "

Moral of this story:
Let us ask ourselves the following question: How many of us have ever done something like Ronaldo and Alberto? On the contrary, many of us show the opposite of this story displaying selfishness and ingratitude.

Friends! Let's help one another to succeed,  don't think blocking that intelligent, talented and good fellow can add to your ordained destiny. You can not go nor have beyond what God  has destined for you. Helping another person to succeed can only make your life better and above all guarantee a blissful hereafter for you. 

Alberto might not have made it big like Ronaldo, and Ronald might still have made it in another way but Alberto wouldn't have had access to such Luxury. You see life! Open your heart and broaden your thinking.  Be an abundant mentality personality.  God will always be there at your own point of need too. 

And when we help a person to succeed, the latter must never forget those who contributed to his success. Whether they forget or not, God doesn't abandon His own.

Above all, we shoud never forget that God is watching and He will judge us

Life is all about Your CONTRIBUTION and never about your POSSESSION!

Thrive with us! 
I am on a mission to eradicate menial act in youths with a view to letting them believe in themselves. Let's create job opportunities for the youths, so that the rate of crime in the world will be highly reduced.

CUTTING THE HEAD IS NOT THE ANTIDOTE FOR HEADACHE.

RUNNING AWAY IS NOT THE SOLUTION BUT STAYING TO CORRECT THE ERROR!  It was great discussing solutions with these great people yesterday (Prof. Mrs. Ashimolowo, Mr. Babs Alabi and Mr. Mubarak) at Funaab radio 89.5fm, the sound of abundance. See video on Instagram @mr_egalitarianworldmotivates and also YouTube @ Mr. Egalitarian World Motivates...  There's one thing that is sure in this life, consistency can never be underrated, even if it is just selling some few commodities, with consistency you can go places. Dream big, follow your instinct, believe in yourself and pray in your way, so far you're talking to the one God.  This is just the result of consistency, yet, I have a lot to learn. Like I would always say; hard work works, working really hard is what successful people do. The decision is in your hands, either you want to be part of the "get rich quick" syndrome or you want to explore in the right way to stardom, you cut your coat according to you

CRISTIANO RONALDO IS A GREAT MENTOR.

PONDER IT TWICE: CRISTIANO RONALDO IS A GREAT MENTOR. When we talk of leadership and mentorship, it doesn't end at academics, politics, entertainment and the likes. The world of sports, especially football has produced exceptional leaders across the continents. From Madeira, a Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo Alveiro has demonstrated a great deal of leadership and mentorship with his indefatigable and astonishing performance in the world of football. This guy is amazing! Cr7 is a goal lord, a great example for hard work and commitment. In this guy I have learnt a lot of things viz; 1. Perseverance. 2. Commitment. 3. Courage. 4. Confidence. 9. Beliefs. 6. Competence. 7. Consistency. 8. Focus. 9. Determination and 10. Drive... Among others. When asked 3 years ago about the time he would stop football he said; when I can no longer play again. At age 33 he still scores 14 champions league goals in 9 champions league matches. He has demonstrated a go

GET DIRTY, HAVE CLUES.

PONDER IT TWICE: GET DIRTY, HAVE CLUES. In agriculture there is no such thing like "I am a clean dude" I can't carry anything. You just have to carry things with your head since you have no other alternatives as a subsistence agricultural farmer. But that doesn't mean you can't also look for other means to make it simple, such as using wheel barrow or other easier means. The harvested crops just have to get to its destination for processing.  It was ethic at first while in the bush trying to harvest cassava, but when it got to an extent I had to behave like a real farmer. We are practicing subsistence agriculture for now anyway, but commercial means of farming is on its way... Get dirty to get ideas, practical skills and exposure rather than getting clean to be clueless on the field. Agriculture is all about getting dirty most times.  #DO AGRIC, IT PAYS. #ponderittwice #weneedempowermentineducation #youthsarelost #communication&skill #itbeg
