Today i am going talk about my MOTIVATION, the person that inspires me to never stop, never quit and to never stop trying to get back up when i fall...

              WHO AND WHAT WORD(S) MOTIVATES ME TO NEVER QUIT????

My childhood has been an interesting one and it is what i will go back in time to enjoy and as time goes i grew up to become a big boy and started earning for myself and to contribute to the family...

My mother has always been my motivation in this life, she has the best words that fits each situation i might be passing through and whenever i feel down, her words comes to me like a ragging storm to remind me that QUITTING isn't an option but WINNING is a must...

Let me just share a brief story of how my mother's motivation helped me in my life and the words of her that made me go on...

I finished high school quite early and getting a job was very hard for me, either i don't meet the qualification or i don't get employed because i don't have the money, connection to get in and after several trial all was in vain and i got tired but my mum never stopped praying and then she told me to write an application letter to a factory that works on finishing and packaging FOOTWEARS..

I wrote the application letter and sent it with faith and then on monday preparing for my daily chores, i got a call to resume work immediately and i was happy that i only showered and dressed up to move out...

I started working, and the first month came and went in a flash, i got my first pay and did the needful and then my myseries started the second month...

I worked for the second month no salary, i thought it will be doubled the following month, the following month no payment, it was getting quite tiring, everything was becoming hard, i couldn't transport or feed myself as i used to and then came the third month still no pay and i fell sick and took 3 days sick leave ...

I was sick and in my sick state, i couldn't get much drugs as i was staying far from home and didn't have much and i gave my mother a call to tell her i am quitting and that i can't cope again after not been payed for 3 months[#60.000], i collect #20,000 monthly as i was just an high school graduate and while crying on phone talking to my mother and guess what she said that revived me from sickness and brought me to my feet...she has this three favorite quotes she tells me and they include:

    " THERE IS NO HUMAN THAT DOESN'T EXPERIENCE TRIALS AND 
    TRIBULATIONS, BUT THE WILL TO NEVER GIVE UP IS ALL THAT COUNTS 
    AND SURELY THERE IS AN EXPECTED END"...

    "DON'T DEPEND ON YOUR HUMAN POWER AS IT FINISHES , BUT DEPEND ON 
    THE DIVINE POWER FROM AN UNENDING AND UNSEIZING SOURCE ( THE 
   ALMIGHTY)"...

   "WHEN LIFE THROWS STONE AND ROCK AT YOU, SEE IT AS A GEM AND TAKE 
    IT WITH CONFIDENCE BUT WITH THE AIM OF MAKING THE GEM SHINE 
   FOREVER, ILLUMINATING YOUR GREATNESS".....

These are my pillars for which my success in life has always been dependent on and it has never failed me as it is what my mother wants me to walk with inspiring me and making me to never QUIT and always try harder with God as my guidance ...

In conclusion, before i ended the call she said honesty, courage, integrity, determination, endurance and hardwork is the key to SUCCESS in life and then i got motivated and resumed work the next day and before ending my day's work i got a credit alert of #80,000 stating 3 months old salary and overtime bonus of #20,000 and saying thanks for enduring with us and that was how everything worked out well for me and it was all due to my endurance...

      # GOD + MUM + HARDWORK = SUCCESS...
