Almost always, the creatively maladjusted are the very ones who save the world, the very people who challenge themselves to deviate from dreaming in black and white and infuse colour. It becomes a much clearer and beautiful world. It’s a personal challenge to dare and be different, do the unthinkable and the unimaginable yet, if all men were the same, the world would be a dull and frustrating place. We are talented and innovative beyond comprehension, not to mention the only species on earth who bear logical and superior intelligence to fight diseases, produce food and save themselves from harm. With such power, it is our responsibility to commit all we have to the realization of our dreams. Aspire to inspire before you expire. As the youth, we are more than capable. Age has never been a deterrent. You can be anything you want to be, even yourself, and that means greatness. People who are shaping the world, leading nations to utter prosperity and those who have pioneered great companies and so forth, dared to achieve what no man has ever done. Jan Koum was turned down by Facebook in 2012 when he was looking for a job; he went on to start WhatsApp. Will Smith was bankrupt at a certain point in his career, turned down for numerous acting roles, and today he is the most bankable Hollywood actor. All of his last 7 latest films have grossed over 100 million Dollars in Box office. What is your excuse not to be great? What is holding you back? Dare to be different; you can be anything you want in this world. You pain, and current tribulation is a challenge and tests to see how bad you want it. See it, imagine it, plan for it and make it a reality. Take your time. You will get there in due course. Tomorrow knows more the future than yesterday. Day by day you will get there, challenge yourself. I dare you. You can be anything you want to be, even YOURSELF and that means greatness
