I am sure it is your desire to achieve something worthy of celebrating this year. As it is common all over the world, we all enter the New Year with so much expectations and enthusiasm. We dream of all we are going to achieve by the end of the year and so many other good things that will happen to us.

It is pitiable to see how many people will achieve anything at the end of the year. There will be so many people that will abandon their dreams, some few months/weeks into the year just because of other people’s opinions. There are so many negative people out there and they are always ready to pick holes in any dream you share with them.

The man slowly looked up. This was a woman clearly accustomed to the finer things of life. Her coat was new. She looked like she had never missed a meal in her life. His first thought was that she wanted to make fun of him, like so many others had done before.

“Leave me alone,” he growled.

To his amazement, the woman continued standing. She was smiling — her even white teeth displayed in dazzling rows. “Are you hungry?” she asked.

Some weeks back, I watched a video titled, “No condition is permanent:” by
one America’s top speakers, Rene Godefroy. The message was based on
the story of this man right from childhood. Space will not permit me
to state everything that I heard from this message but I will try to
paraphrase everything.

Rene was born in Haiti, a Central American country. He was born into
poverty and was even abandoned by his mother at the age of 9 months.
His mother left him in search of a greener pasture. While growing up,
Rene was inflicted with some debilitating diseases that so many people
told his guardian he would NEVER survive.

Capital in your business isn’t what matters. It isn’t the money that buys you a
future; it’s your skills that buy you a future. Money and no skills, I’m telling
you, you are still poor. Money and no ambition, where are you? Money and no courage,
you’re broke. A little bit of money and a whole lot of courage is all we need.
