I am of the old school who believe that all a man needs to matter is the three lettered word, G-u-t.

Life never waits or honours the spineless. Consider two people of same stature. Same educational status. Same age. Probably same gender. Everything, same. And there lies in front a narrow window that only one should burrow through. They have been long trained and waited for this moment. While one sees the limitation, the other had come out of the hole, burrowed and won!

Life comes same way. The creator never gives all. He only gives the neccesary. Those who have all never had all. The history bears the evidence to the fact. Winston churchil wasn't so advantaged. Tesla had chocking start. Abraham Lincoln was a habitual failure. Sam was passed from one teacher to the other. Each teacher tried his or her best until the teacher stylishly gave up on the attempts of turning him a grade D (If at least that works out!) champion. One of the best teachers who tried so much to help him tune his mind up to arithmetic would even hide from his mother. He was asked to repeat classes after the school management could not compromise standard anymore recommending him for promotion on trial.

Until something happened. Something that usually happens to the people who the world never understand. A tune up. They found out his graphically articulate mind started making slight expression. Few years later, Sam was found in the crowd speaking to professors and doctors as a guest spesker. Accounts held he marvelled hearers that many of them prompted to ask each other in whisper, "who is that guy..?"

It got unravelled how Sam had completed three degrees in mathematics related courses in the university. One of them was from the premier university, the university of Ibadan, Nigeria where he bagged his post graduate honour. Sam had achieved feats that his age mates who then were A-straights scorers woudnt dare. 

I am the Sam. My life evolved from common place, humble, poor, partially educated background to emerge the only child of six siblings with two different educational honours in statistics and mathematics and computer science ( Not to mention some professional certifications).You may have been like the young Sam today! With blurred, uncertain and ungifted start. Yet, all you have is a neck stiffed enough to burrow like a worm in the soil.

The point is, talent is never enough, only men with guts are omnipotent!
