Hardwork and Commitment

On the 13th March 2009, one of the Friday the 13th , i woke up prayed and called all my family members to ascertain we all still safe from the bad omen associated with every friday the 13th especially my father that dreaded the day and always told me of every occurrence associated with this day! i was glad when i knew every one was fine; but like 10mins after i made the calls, i got another disturbing call that Adebayo Julius Ayeni slept in the Lord! My father that i just spoke to a moment ago!!!! i was crushed because that was the only pillar i had.

This is a man that for the first 23yrs of my life i disliked him because i felt he was too strict and his principles on hard work and commitment were too rigid; little did i know i was getting the greatest gift of eternity, the gift that im also using now.


I learnt that until one is committed there is hesitancy, chance to draw back, ineffectiveness concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), but there is one elementary truth,
the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans! That's the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.

All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision raising in one's favor all manner Of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, that no man would have dreamt could have come his way in his life time. This made me have a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it." 



The credit belongs to those who are actually in the arena, who strive valiantly; who know the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause; who at the best, know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if they fail, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. 

Those were your teachings Dad! Love and Miss you more........
