Encouragement...

Someone said: “We live by encouragement and die without it…slowly, sadly, and angrily” and I believe.

Life is not always a fair fight, and success doesn't come to everyone on a silver platter. So when someone is trying to achieve something on his own, even if you have your doubts or cannot wish him well, please do not try to dissuade, dispirit or deter him from trying. Carelessly psyching someone out or putting a damper on someone’s resolve is evil.

Here unfortunately, so many people have had their dreams killed not because they lacked the quality required, but because they were mocked out of their dreams. Apparently the only people we're good at cheering are the nonstarters and idiots. I guess because we enjoy laughing at their ridiculous situations.

If your hustle is legit, it wouldn't be unusual to hear remarks like: “Hehe! He is our local 'so-and-so'” or “he thinks he’s got what it takes to be 'so-and-so'” - but I think that's just ignorance, because those ‘so-and-so” people that we take to be extra special also came from some origin, and against all odds, broke out of that social position, climbed up the social ladder to create that  'so-and-so' identity for themselves. So why is it impossible for someone else?

I think it's about damn time we break off from the needless distrust, from always viewing the glass half empty and start looking at the bright side of situations – you know, make our part of the world dream friendly, it will take us far.

Before I finish, if you trust your aptitude, keep going, and write off all the detractors and doubters – but if you know you're nothing and can never be anything at what you want to be, then do yourself a favour and quit or dream again, because even if folks should convene every blessed Friday to recite 40 ‘Surat Ya-Sin’ on your behalf, you’ll still fuckup.
