Be Unique; Be Yourself

Written by Stanley Anukege

Funny how you'd ask a kid today what he/she'd like to be when they grow up and they'd say,

'I want to be like my daddy or like my mummy.'

You ask the same question to teenagers and you'd hear them saying they want to be like R.Kelly or Obama; like Dora Akunyili or Beyonce.

These people are great in their own rights, yes they are; read the papers, but that's not enough reason to spend your time living out a life just trying to be an image of another person.

This same question is not just limited to kids and teens.  Ask adults, business men/women and they'd also tell you they want to be like Bill Gates or Ellen Sirleaf Johnson.

We all have people as role models, who we want to be like.

Folks, we live in a world that is populated with more than a billion people. If you doubt me, ask the Chinese. Different people from different backgrounds, some are born with silver spoons and others with no spoon at all. We live in a world of challenges and solutions, obstacles and stepping-stones, depending on where you're looking.
