Mmeso Inspires: What’s Your Plan

He started from nowhere, a child without a father and a feeble mother.

He left the village with a torn shirt and two pair of rumple shorts to the city.

He left with a stranger, a stern man.

But in his heart, grows a burning ember to succeed.

He started from nowhere, a child with fatigued eyes and rough skin.

Day by day he stare at the sky waiting to be told that he would be going back to his feeble mother.

But such words never comes… but commands.

Yes, a command to wash the madam’s car or to wash Junior’s clothes.

 A command to tidy the house or to fill the tank.

He fell sick.

He started from nowhere, a child who yearns for his mother’s care and love.

Who fell sick over and over again until he learnt to be strong.

Because a man’s life is all about strength and survival.

About sacrifices and determination to hit the target.

A child who was denied freedom…

He was thankful though, because he said “It made me a man”.

He started from nowhere, a child who slept on the floor but there was a spare bed.

A child who ate leftovers, while there were enough in the pot.

A child who wore three clothes for years but Junior had more than enough.

He said “It made me crave for success”

He started from nowhere, a child who was sent into the street to fend for himself.

He had no shoulder to lean on, no shelter to lay.

But he had one thing…” A desire to succeed”, and it was burning like a flame of gold.

With just a coin, he build empires.

It was not achieved in a day buddy.

It was achieved through pain, discipline, perseverance, determination and a desire to succeed.

Most importantly, it was achieved through the training of yesteryears.

A child he was then, growing through life.

I watch him now, this familiar face… he paused and looked at us. Then he said:

“If I can go this far with just a coin my children, what about you?

“What is your plan?”
