It Starts with You! Biodun Samuel Adepetu

When the world throws mud at you, do you let it get you down or do you make a beautiful porcelain vase and put beautiful, nice-smelling flowers into it?When they throw you tomatoes and eggs, do you get mad or make tomato omelet? And the cliché, when they throw you lime and lemon, do you grimace or smile and make lemonade?Nigerians handle the above scenarios pretty well in a way that both excites and baffles most non-Nigerians. We've got what we call the Naija spirit. We excel at what we set our minds to do, and we're ever-ready to let others know we've got it when we do! How do we do this? We celebrate success!It doesn't matter if your definition of success doesn't tally with that of the average Nigerian. One thing I can tell you though; Nigerians don't despise the days of little beginnings! They're an appreciative group of people. Even when the average Nigerian is still struggling to "make it" - make a breakthrough in life - he has this unquenchable fire of hope that "e go better," things will look up some day, and very soon too! Notwithstanding any obstacle that comes along the way, he still chooses to forge ahead towards his mark, assured he will celebrate at the end of the day. You too can be happy, because you deserve to be!You're welcome to learn the "never-say-die" spirit of Naija that pushes the average Nigerian towards the path of progress and happiness!Available at: www.createspace.com/6493569 www.amazon.com
