A good name is sure better than gold and silver- this implies that integrity counts in the journey of life. Adekunle was such a good generous, lovable and approachable young man. No one visits him in tears and returns helpless. Ojo is a friend in need, he might not have the resources to give to you but his tranquilising chats are powerful. Ade lives on because his impact can never be forgotten in a jiffy. Let’s reason together friends, have you ever thought of how important you are to your family and people around you? Do you know if those little things you render to them lingers in their heart? Can we vouch for your integrity even in your absence? These are questions you should ponder on.
I remembered what a very close pal of mine said about a few years ago and I quote, “I want to make a name for myself and my unborn children. I want it that the mention of my name will open doors and unquestionable opportunities for people.” Wow! Inspiring you say? Yes, it is. Leaving a good legacy behind is commendable; I quite understand that money is important but do we neglect integrity?
Come to think of this, as a member of your family, your siblings deserve to enjoy your generosity and company, if only you can maintain a healthy attitude- your name will not leave their lips. Amongst your friends, your positive approach to solving problems and situations will cause a laudable mark; if only you flesh up those embodiments effortlessly, your name will remain in their hearts. In that community or society you find yourself, how much of your influence can be felt to the extent that the mention of your name brings sweet memories.
I will end with the lyrics of Beyonce’s song, I want to leave my footprint on the sands of time, know there was something that I left behind. When I leave this world, I’ll leave no regrets leave something to remember, so they won’t forget. I was here.
Stay Positive.
