Lessons from Mr Ola's Birthday


mr Ola fondly called Lykoko, an integral staff of generis universal tactical solutions , the boss of the technical crew for shapecd africa,was marking one of the special days of his life, views about him was shared and it was lovely to behold and hear. but of all that was said,there was one that struck the minds of all the staffs in the office, it was from the chairman of the office, a renowned motivational speaker and a blessing to all who has crossed his path or should i say worked for him. Mr Deolu Akinyemi, he shared a story it goes thus, i hope i portray it like him, There were 2 nations who were at logger heads, the citizens of these 2 nations hard a smashing resemblance i.e facial resemblance, and in order to settle their dispute they needed to go to war, some one came out and said how can we fight, we will end up kiling our selves, dont u all know that we look alike. they all thought about it and said of a truth he is right, so they thought of a plan of sewing a regalia that would differentiate them. one nation chose red the other chose black, so tailors engaged in their functions. the D day came and it was battle time. one nations warriors stood at one far end, the other at another end, all of a sudden there was someone in the middle, the front of his regalia showed red facing the red squad, his back was black facing the black squad, the two teams were shouting hei thats our man and they were jubilating, they began to wonder why they were all happy praising one man, so in the whole aura of praise, it got into his head and he started turning to wave to the teams, so when he turned the black team saw red and the red team saw black they both shot their arrows and that was the end of the dead hero. 30 seconds ago he was a hero and now he is dead, there is danger of standing in the fence, you must be able to tell your self that there must be friends and the same time enemies, you should not try to please everyone. you must take your stand and know your postions in life, as soon as these aspects are corrected in your life, the sky is your limit. these words was not only for the celebrant to me. it struck me and am posting it today. cheers.
