Get Ready To Fly!!!


MUST I STRUGGLE B4 I MAKE IT?.... A Student in a prestigious University in
Nigeria,found a cocoon of a butterfly at his Usual
reading joint (a cool place with bush nearby where
He reads immediately after lectures for the day).
Days later, an opening appeared, While studying,
his mind was with the butterfly. For several hours as the new-born butterfly struggled to force its body
through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop
making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten
as far as it could and it could go no farther! TIRED
and GIVEN UP!!! Then the young man decided to help the butterfly,
so he took a rusted nail. He saw and created
enough space for the butterfly. The butterfly then
emerged easily. But it had a swollen body BUT a
small and shriveled wings. The young man
continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would
enlarge and expand to be able to support the body,
which would contract in time. Neither happened! In
fact, the butterfly spent the additional 3hours the
boy spent reading, crawling around with a swollen
body and shriveled wings. It never was able to FLY. When the Boy got home that night, He went directly
to his Grandpa and told him what happened..The
Old Man smiled and replied..."What you in your
kindness and haste did not understand was that
the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for
the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God’s PERFECT way of forcing fluid from the body of
the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready
for flight once it achieved its freedom from the
cocoon! You should have let it STRUGGLE!!" ☀LESSON:
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in
our life... Challenges are the Breakfast of
champions...
SUCCESS ITSELF IS FAILURE TURNED INSIDE OUT! Now, tell me one man (excluding those who
inherited a fleet of companies or a fat bank
account) who made impact in his generation
without a story to tell (whether the story is boring
or not!) Ok, let me dish you some...
→Soichiro Honda: was turned down at an Interview
with Toyota. He was jobless for so many years. He
began making scooters in his garage and today is
the founder of Honda..yes! The Honda you know!
→Akio Morita: many of you don't know him. His 1st product was a rice cooker. It failed to cook and
burnt the rice instead. It sold only 100 pieces!
Guess what? Today he's the owner of SONY...yeah,
your TV and DVD maker..worth Billions.
→Harland Hereevbohjay Da Dyrekta Handroovid
Sanders: He invented a secret chicken recipe and tried to sell it cheap just to feed himself. It was
turned down 1,009 times before a restaurant
reluctantly accepted it..Well..Have you heard of
Kentucky Fried Chicken? That's him!
→Walt Disney: He was sacked by his boss at a
newspaper Company because he "had no good ideas". He tried many other businesses and
failed...He was bankrupt for many years. But you
know the end of the story, don't you? Disney is 1 of
the richest companies worldwide today.
→Oprah Winfrey: she had to endure a rough and
abusive childhood and suffered low self esteem. She was fired from her job simply because her boss
said "you're not fit for TV"...well, she is now the
richest and most influential woman alive and TV's
greatest personality. I wonder how her boss feels
now.
→Sir Alex Ferguson: he was sacked as manager in 1978 cos they said he was a "managerial failure"...
Guess I don't need to say more. The coach with the
highest number of cups to his name!.. Just google
him.
→Roberto Di-Matteo was sacked from his coaching
job at Westbrom after consistently having poor run of result, he even begged to have Birmingham FC
job but was denied, if he follow soccer, you will
know He is the first coach to win European
Champions League for Chelsea FC (what even 'the
special One', Josè Mourinho didn't achieve there)
and the first coach to bring the cup to London... →Richard Branson: was called a dummy in school,
is a dyslexic (sees letters dancing!) and never
succeeded in his studies. Today he's worth $4.4
Billion and owns 360 companies.
→The late Steve Jobs of Apple: was never a
graduate! You and I know what he invented-- the world's most recognized brand, Apple!
♦I can go On and On, but Here is the SECRET: All great men don’t waste a minute being weighed
down by their challenges... They know it is a chance
to make a success story of their own!
If one window closes, they run to the next window
— or break down a door!
Hey! Know surely that it is not God that gives us these problems but the Devil (for the Devil has seen
your great future and the impact you will make if
you make it), but God allowed it because WITHOUT
ANY OBSTACLES, OUR SUCCESS WOULD CRIPPLE US!
We would not be as strong as what we could have
been! And we could never fly!! Don't forget!!! No WARRIOR without a WAR!!!
So, whatever you may be passing through right
now, all I wanna tell u is, GET READY TO FLY!!!
