Greatness is not a product of Convenience

Have you ever worked and at a point you began to feel headache? Have any project made you force yourself not to sleep even when your body system was seriously demanding it? Have you been into a particular project and you were hungry but you refused to eat because you wanted to get to a particular level before you could eat?

If the answer is yes, I tell you, keep pressing forward. You will get to your destination one day. You will achieve that which you want. You have a brave heart. Greatness is indeed not a product of convenience.

Many great men when they tell their stories seems as if they were not real because a lot of them passed through hell before they could make it. If you want to make it as a youth, you must work. You have to discomfort yourself to get it done.

It is a pity that some religious teachings have mislead so many young people in our society today. Some teachings have brainwashed the young that it is not by work but by GRACE. The teachings of this kind have made many youths lazy.

They move from one church to another seeking for miracles. Miracle seekers and yet they have nothing to show. It is a big deception that is rubbing our youths from achieving what they suppose to achieve through hard work.

One young lady met me sometime ago and asked, why do you like moving around during your marketing? She said, "it is not by trekking or walking around but by grace".

I smiled and said to her "wrong teachings by your pastor in the church have becloud your way of thinking". I cannot stay in one place waiting for business to come to me. I asked her, "have you not read the part of the Bible that says that who does not work should not eat?" She didn't say anything again.

"Over religion" has made a lot of youths dormant. Even if the GRACE is involved, you have to work to make it amplified. Refuse to be mislead by anyone that feeds you with wrong teachings. Bend down and make efforts for effective results.

Are you comfortable with the state you are as a youth? How many lives have you affected positively with your wealth? If you haven't affected some lives positively by your greatness, then you have not arrive. It is time to work more.

Many people have slept under bridges before not because they had no homes but they left where they use to be and went to cities to work for survival. When they got to the cities, they had no enough money to get an apartment. This made them to settle under bridges and at the end they gathered money more than the one they used to rent good apartments.

They left their convenience platforms and then discomforted themselves. At the end of everything, they became great. You as a reader can become great as well. But possessing such feature is not by convenience.

You have to be ready to take your cross. When you finally get to your destination, you are Crown king. You will wear the crown with honour and joy.

Everything of lasting value is highly demanding. Greatness is not a product of convenience. The greatness of tomorrow begins with the sacrifice of today.

The above is the statement of Gbenga Adebambo of The Guardian News. He made the statement when he was writing on Apple Company hit of one trillion dollars ($1tr) which was announced by the Former President and Chief Executive officer of the company on August 2, 2018.

The starting of The Apple company was not an easy one. The three major persons that began the company are Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. At a point, Wayne left the company. The major reason for his leave was that the company demanded so much financially.

He did not picture the greatness of the company. Today, the two that stood without giving up are big names all over the world. Greatness is not a product of convenience. They discomforted themselves and today they are great. You can attain those goals if you really work to get the job done.
