WTF I told you I have more than two role models..? Yes, four of them. From the time I turned ten, There are some people I have always looked up to. Whenever I go through these guys’ biographies, I feel the quest for success stabbing my soul with immensely sharp claws. These men have greatly inspired my life . I don’t know why, but probably because;
1. They were raised in extremely underprivileged societies that were wholly immersed in dire poverty but turned out to be millionaires in making.
2. Despite the challenges and hardships, they emerged victors, and that is why their stories are told as though they are new each day.
The people am talking about ain’t angels. Here they are ;
1:Dr Benjamin Solomon Carson: A globally appreciated neurosurgeon raised within the inner walls of Detroit.
2. A.G Gaston: A highly visionary entrepreneur, financial influencer, and Banker.
3.Martin.L.King: The guy who inspired me to stitch all my dreams together.
4. Oliver Thambo : (maybe he is the only one who is a bit different on this list): Educationist, Freedom fighter
Each of their stories is worth a re-tell. It’s worth your time. None of them has got a minute achievement and that’s why each bit of their background will refuel your success struggles. In simple terms, these are guys worth stalking (constructive stalking). I mean, who would love to go through footprints of great men?!
Even though all these guys have given a reason to believe that life always presents for us a second chance, Ben Carson is my number one pick. Probably not because he lives up to now, But because his life is the most documented among the names on the list above.
Most of us can tell Ben Carson’s story yet we ain’t his age bracket (not even close).A bright light shines in all corners of his life. He proved to this world that you could be someone great without being a sportsman, without being an artist or musician, without being a politician, without doing nasty things just for public recognition. In gifted hands, he quotes the saying “nice guys finish last”. Despite his background and false perceptions from his classmates (the dumbest kid on the block), Mr.Carson proved that where there is will, everything is doable. And with this, his story is going to be retold even thirty-year from now. Our great-grandsons will be like “once there lived a black kid within the inner walls of Detroit who survived dire poverty, graduated and added a “Medical doctor” tag to his name, and attained more than six honorary doctorate degrees and numerous national merit citations.
Sometimes I feel like the people who came before our generation went through a lot so we do not have to.
They jumped a lot of hurdles so you and I do not have to. All you have got to do is copy and learn how they were able to accomplish tremendous tasks in such a technological dark age. If we choose to live our lives in line with the examples these people have set for us, the future is bright.
Ben Carson has already achieved most if not all a layman would crave under the sun. Imagine, all the way from medical to government service. I guess that is the meaning of “grace” to “grace”
We have a lot to learn from him.

Through The footprints Of Mr.Carson
*This was one of my first creations. I wrote this particular one when I was 14. We all remember those days when we were just trying to figure out how to walk along the art of writing. Those days when you didn’t know that you’ve got the gift to impress and entertain crowds through your pen*

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
