He said, 'i have not failed 1000 times but i have only discovered 1000 ways it would not work'. Failure is not when you fall in trying something. Failure is when you fail to try over and over again. After series of experiment, Thomas Edison is widely known for his great works in the discovery of the light bulb. He has made landmarks that has brought his name into history today.
In solving a problem, there are so many challenges you will encounter but problem solvers are those who makes wealth in this present age. Can you imagine how much is made on the sale of light bulb? Let’s do a simple mathematical analysis:
If a street in Lagos State uses 1000 pieces of light bulb at N80 each. How much would an estimated number of 600 streets would use to purchase light bulb?
1 street = 1000 x N80
600 streets = a
Through cross multiplication
a= N1000 x 80 x 600 = N48,000,000
Can you just imagine how much was made in just a state of the federation?
Now, we have 36 state in the federation:
N48,000,000 x 36 = N1,728,000,000.
Life is full of challenges is a favourite quote but those who are still POOR after the challenges are those who pass over opportunity regularly. Activate your mind to start thinking about your mind to start thinking of problems in the world and how you can solve them.
Never think that this is the end for you but rather, it s just the beginning. You that has been known as a total dullard can rise up and become the most brilliant if only you can determine to be so. If you are determined to be a brilliant person, then, you would take no leniency with your studies and put on a right attitude towards your studies.
Let me tap into a little history:
Dyslexia is a condition involving difficulty in reading and spelling.
Thomas Edison(light bulb), Whoopi Goldberg(comedian/actress), Thom Cruise(mission impossible), Walt Disney(cartoonist), Albert Einstein, Richard Branson(virgin incorporated), Samuel L. Jackson(actor) amongst others had dyslexia and they all made an impact in their generation. Theodore Roosevelt was an American President on wheel chair.
Hellen Adams Keller was an American blind, deaf and dumb activist/author. You need not to ask me how she was able to cope with this. She clothe herself with an attitude of possibility and she made a great name for herself even in that situation. She communicate with people by touching their lips when they talk and reply them with her fingers.
Bruce Willix, Tiger Woods(golf) had speech difficulty.
All the people above amongst many other are those who had a great excuse for failure but yet they made impact even more than people that better than them.
My charge to you this day is simple and clear, put on a good and favourable attitude towards whatever you find your hands doing through God Almighty.
Are you a student who finds difficulty in studying personally? Are you a student who finds difficulty in attempting your assignment? I don’t need to tell you the aftermath but my final statement is ''Be a diligent student because to genuinely overcome, one must diligently undergo''.
I love you all.
God bless you all.
Shalom!
