DEAR SON

Dear son,While you want to compete, also know that there are some situations where cooperation will get you what competition will not get you. A car, a ship and an aeroplane are all made for transportation but designed for specific situations. You can't use a plane to compete in a road race. You can't also use a car made for land travel to travel on water. Don't fly where you are meant to drive. Son, don't walk where you are meant to fly. Be sensitive to your environment.Son, there is greatness lurking in your belly, and the fear of the unknown has not allowed you to release it on the world. You doubt if self-promotion is vain or good. May I remind you that the world will not know what you do until you start doing what you know?. You have lived in the shadow of your dreams enough; step out. Your adversaries are not the externalities but the man you see in the mirror. The man you see in the mirror is the major, while the externalities are the minors. You choose.Son, they have told you never to say good morning where you have said goodnight. This advice is not for those who foolishly said goodnight without thinking. If your folly nudges your heart after saying a foolish goodnight, swallow your shame and go back to say good morning the next day. Feedback is the breakfast of champions, and the strength of winners is knowing how to swallow their pride for the sake of where they are going.Son, my pieces of advice are unpopular, but "popular" has never helped me as your father.Go and unleash the genius on the world.Your fatherOluwasun David ADEPOJU
