THERE WILL ALWAYS BE GIANTS - IL Y AURAIT TOUJOURS DES GÉANTS.
Everyday is a new opportunity or a new obstacle, it depends on how you decide to see it. No matter how hard you try, there will always be people who have made up their minds to see only the negative side of things. There are Africans who will never see any good in this continent until her development becomes so obvious that even the the blind can smell it. No matter the arguments you put forward, their eyes are outside this continent and you cannot really blame them. However, life is always a mixture of opportunities and obstacles, the one you magnify determines what you can do with what you have, how far you can go and what degree of success you can have no matter where you live on this planet. There will always be giants, but it depends on whether you see them as insurmountable mountains or conquerable elevations from which you can help yourself and others get a better view of our world. Giants of racism, corruption, bad leadership, oppression, terrorism etc will always be in the land so long as human beings exist. You must realised that all those who have done remarkable things that history honours today, had to overcome these giants and stand on top of them to change the world. For those who wait for the land to be free from giants, they will go their graves without any legacy to be remembered. As you make up your mind to pursue your dreams in spite of the giants in the land, they will become smaller because most of the time, the magnitude of the giant is really in the way we see it. Enjoy a great week!

YOU SHOULD BEFORE YOU COULD - VOUS DEVEZ AVANT QUE VOUS PUISSIEZ
There is a popular saying "where there is a will, there is a way" The reason many of us turn a blind eye to challenges around us is the fact that we do not think that we should do anything about them. It is always someone else's duty to fix a certain problem. Until you see yourself as a part of the solution, you can never be a part of the solution. If it is your cup of tea you will drink it. When you are concerned about any situation, you will begin to see what can be done to make it better as you take steps to do something about it. Until you get to this point, you will only see what is wrong, who is wrong and how they should do to fix it, you are never in the equation. While some are constantly analysing the problem others have moved on to see what they can contribute to be a part of the solution, you have to believe you should before you can see how you could. While some are complaining about traffic, others are thinking of how to dig tunnels underground to ease the traffic. While some are complaining and analysing the invasion of plastic packaging others are putting them to productive use. If you change the way you see challenges, you will discover a power to change things that you thought belonged only to the Wright brothers, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk or other "super humans" in that category. Everyone knows what the problem is, what we should all be looking for is the solution, be a part of that. Have a great day!

THEY WILL TAKE YOU DOWN - ILS VONT VOUS RAMENER AU SOL
There will always be people who try to shoot down those that dare to be different. It is not because they are doing something wrong, it is simply the fact that they are taking on their excuses, depriving them of what to hide behind and exposing their weakness and fears. When you dare to be different, you challenge the status quo and make the profiling excuses of race, gender, culture and whatever else people hide behind, of non effect. These are the arrows they will use to try to shoot you down. You do not have to have any degree of success before they attack, the mere fact that you are taking a step out of your comfort zone is a threat to those who want to remain in mediocrity. Isn't it amazing how people who have never attempted something are experts at giving you advice on how it should be done? All they want to do is magnify the excuses and keep you from climbing the ladder so you can remain with them in their mediocre and unproductive circle. What you need to keep telling yourself is that until someone does it, it seems impossible and you can be that someone. It is better to try and fall than to remain and wish. Everyone that dared was shot at, but only those who had enough thrust defied the laws of "it can't be done" and escaped they arrows of the naysayers. All you need is enough thrust, an undying passion and unshakable commitment to your dream to get you past the laws of "gravity" and soar. Enjoy your day!
