Motivational Message Of The Week:

“The hand that dips into the bottom of the pot will eat the biggest snail” Wole Soyinka

……………………………………………………………………………………………………..

This week’s motivational message is pulled from the highly intellectual mind of the Nigerian Novelist, Nobel Prize Winner and Poet-Wole Soyinka.

As a follow African who is so much informed about the ways and attributes of his people, Soyinka by the above quote seeks to instill into us the spirit of achieving full success, the desire to attain the highest as opposed to settling for the least.

Our way of life as Africans is shadowed with celebrating mediocrity. We settle for the least that comes our way instead of going for the optimum.

Though most of us are ambitious and even sometimes over ambitious, immediately we attain some level of satisfaction or success in relations to our ambition, we give our chase a permanent pause.

The little we get from the much which we can achieve is enough for us to settle uand live with. In the light of this, our full potential as intellectual beings and excellent minds are never seen.

Most of us have no problem with dipping our hands into the pot of snails (chasing our ambitions), our problem lies at the point at which we stop dipping further.

For some of us, the moment our hands dip a few centimeters and fetch up the little snail swimming on the surface, we settle for that, whiles if we continue dipping, we would fetch the biggest snail swimming at the bottom of the pot.

As we chase our ambitions in life, we should continuously remind ourselves that, the little success we achieve in our chase just denotes that we are on the right path; on no certain terms should we settle for that.

Settling down with the least whiles you can achieve the maximum is a twin to giving up. Giving up on an ambition sounds pitiable, it is even worse when you settle for the least.

Let us start this week with our minds set to achieving the maximum. Let us put on our full amour and chase our ambitions fearlessly to the very bottom of the race. Let us continue dipping our hands deep into the pot of success until we fetch the biggest snail. Good Morning Readers & Have a good week.

  2. I second that golden girl. Many of us will never realize our true potential because we are either afraid of failure or happy with what we already have. Seize every opportunity and never settle when you know you can strive for more! Love this article also, the motivational messages are the one thing I look forward to reading each monday. Another great article, chris, keep it up.
