Hi dear Readers. It's good to be back again to lure your reading interest to every line of words to be shared here. My last work Money and Satisfaction was inspired by the need to free my mind from the aches breaking through and the failures I encounter while trying to fix that desire. In furtherance of that work, I'd like to shed more light on what is truly the reason a man can be satisfied.
First, meet my wonderful sponsors.
One similar characteristic of man is to be rich and famous. Having listened to some Nigerian acts like Olamide and Praiz, who sang different lyrics on the same song-title Rich and Famous, one would easily understand that humans no matter what they do for a living want to be known and relevant. That's a good gesture anyways only if they wouldn't be bitter during the process by harming the personality of possessions of others.
In the bid to seek comfort, people have decided that family is an enemy of progress and as such have strayed far from the reach of relatives. Some even adjudged it that some Holy Books have said:
The enemy of a man is those of his household.
This gives a cogent reason why some cultures have gone into extinction. As we speak, in parts of Nigeria be the cause of the foregoing ideology, some particular ethnic groups have become non-existent. It all began with the need for individuals to make headway but by first neglecting the family they come from.
It is good to pursue wealth and to become famous but the consequences that arises from fame and wealth detrimental to the individual.
In recent times, because knowledge has increased, men having tried to find out more truth have come to understand that the more they discover, the more they need to find.
Fella Anikulapo Kuti, the Afrobeat legend wanted to be famous for his teaching but how can one teach with some bad manners. He did have some very great ideas but he jumped the gun by putting the family away. In the end, it all ended in nothing.
If your brain is sharp,
Your attitude is shoddy,
Your life will be in shambles.
Family is all we got. In Africa, the family unit is the first determinant of how much respect a person would earn from the populace. And keeping the family heritage, not wealth, is a determining feature on how relevant a family becomes over time. The place of the female child in not bringing shame to the family is one of the intricacies that is used in measuring up family responsibility. When the male child too is industrious , not in dubious activities, then family is said to have been held high its heritage.
As we continue in life struggles, we must not forget where we hail from. That is to be considered always. Just like when we are going to start something new, we often get the advice, especially from our mothers:
Remember the son of whom you are.
Speaking as a local man, who have grown to know the advancement the world is currently experiencing, let's not forget that the world expects more from you and I. Carefree attitude may cause so much pain when we become old in this perverse world.
The more reason we need to sink it in the memory of our children and siblings that to affect society is better than silver and gold. Whatever am man does while he is in vogue as a brand is what will either make his life or mar it.
We shouldn't also forget in a hurry that a good name is better than silver and gold.
One man I have followed very closely through his teaching, Babs Fafunwa, a Nigerian educationist who designed most of the theories through which an egalitarian society can be built was himself a disciplined fellow to the core. Just like the proprietor of May Flower, Pa Tai Solarin, they didn't pursue the pleasure of life, yet they left and indelible in the sand of time.
Our family is the most essential element i life. Success starts to the support of the family that we have. Family motivates you to do things you want to succeed.
