The Kenyan boy.

One day I heard the story of a boy from Kenya. He was a young boy of only 12 years of age who belonged to a village where lions were frequently attacking the herds. The villagers feared for their animals and were decimating the cat population, which was also of concern to the authorities.

The young man, interested in solving both without disregarding the lives of his herds or the wild cats, was interested in implementing some resources to act on the problem.

He thought of using fire, made a big bonfire and waited for the results, but this did not stop the lions, the wild beasts kept coming at night and eating his cows.

He also tried using torches and guarding the place but the result was always the same. Until one day he realized that the felines were frightened and ran in panic when they saw the headlights of the cars when they approached.

Then he came up with the idea of patenting a lighting system. He's only 11 years old, so coming up with something would be expensive unless he used his imagination.

So he managed to get ahold of recycled parts that were no longer in use to make his intermittent lighting system, that would allow him to use an effect similar to a car’s headlights shining brightly.

So he did, practiced, executed and finished his lighting system which turned out to be a success. The wild beasts no longer came to his village to eat his flocks and the use of his system was used by others. He also eliminated the problem of the extinction of the felines by the owners of herds that were attacked by these beasts.

This is how this 12 year old teenager became famous as the creator of an efficient lighting system to avoid two major problems in his village.

Genius is everywhere, it can be a child, it can be an adult or an old man. I have heard and read so many stories throughout my years of life of how simple people were able to achieve fame just by getting their ideas into physical form and carried out without many resources, but with results as efficient as any person with the resources to do so.

I think that it can happen to anyone that in a memorable moment of his life he comes up with ideas so important for society. He doesn't care about the risks he takes, he doesn't care about the difficulties he is going through and he only thinks about making his dream come true.

Sometimes the difficulties we may encounter do not mean that we should give up what we are trying to do, but rather that life tests us to see how far we can go with the effort we put into our ideas and plans.

From all this I can conclude that when you have all the difficulties that come your way to achieve a goal you must clearly see your desire to strive for success. If you really want to fight to achieve what you have proposed nothing will stop you and at some point all roads will open their doors so that everything flows as accurately for you.

In a very simple way he solved a big problem, sometimes we put a big wall in front of us and we don't see the solution that can be so simple. Of course this did not happen overnight, he had to study a lot how to solve that situation and he did it.

Sometimes when we see the solution to the problem we see it as very normal but before we have the solution it is a big dilemma that we may have in front of us. Everyone can develop great skills in the face of a great challenge in their personal life.

You are right, with perseverance you can overcome the obstacles that arise, and in the face of adversity, genius can emerge.

I really liked the story... Fulfilling some goals is sometimes difficult, but as you say, if we really want that achievement we must try again and again until we achieve it. It is also necessary to set short goals that we know we can accomplish, this is to avoid frustration or feeling that we have not achieved our goals.

There is a saying that we all know... "All good things are hard to achieve and all bad things are very easy to get."

I think there should be a balance, having "simple" goals and complex goals. For every simple goal that we obtain we will feel totally happy, but when we achieve a complex goal we will feel that all our work has had a great reward, but we will also be full of short goals that have made us a great welfare and have given us that thought that we have accomplished it, no matter if it is something simple, just doing it and achieving it gives us more encouragement and makes us more positive.

Well I'll tell you what, read a lot of posts, listen to some short videos on the networks. Every time you read a post take an idea and write in your diary the idea that made you think the most. In the audios you listen to be attentive from the beginning, write down in your mind places and ages and then try to remember it and make your own story about it. Each time you read one of the ideas you have saved in your notebook try to imagine a story from your life or others to tell. I hope this is helpful to you.
