This nation is a fast dream destroyer. Sometimes, one begins to wonder whether everything is there to frighten one’s dreams into nightmares. Socially, economically and politically through wrong policy implementation and so on. However, no matter the obstacles ousted by the society or the country at large, you need to continue to put your head above the water surface.
More importantly, if you decide to give in to barriers barricading your way to success, what do you fall back on? Will you not be the fall guy of a free-falling society? So, keep on striving. Keep on dreaming, working, and keep being optimistic.
Life will never be fair as it has never been; hence, to win the war, you have to be prepared to face the battle; no matter the burden or trouble that you are facing, know that it’s for once, a transient hurdle to be raced.
So keep striving, for your dreams— it is too early to give up, and will always be. A dream never dies when you water it — by striving.
