Regardless of her social profile,
Helen Paul still maintained a low profile and remained herself within the four
walls of the class while in Unilag. She was never carried away by her “class”.
A gift does not stand alone, it has to reside within a person and the carrier
of such gift has to show that he has the capacity and maturity to make the best
out of that gift.
“We might be classmates but we are not Grace-mate”. Helen Paul
It is unbelievable how carelessness
has cost a lot of people the opportunity to dine with kings. That someone is
gifted should not be an excuse for him or her to misbehave, disregard or
disrespect other people. J.C Maxwell says, “talent is not enough”. It is not
all about the talent, your character as the carrier of the talent matters a
lot.
Helen’s positive attitude worked
for her greatly on her journey to stardom, her attitude towards lecturers,
people around her, classmates and even those who hurt her. A healthy attitude
is a basic requirement for anyone who intends to achieve something worthwhile
with his or her gift. A good attitude is vital because it will help you pave
through challenges and come out as a better person.
Challenges are part of life and
are meant to make us better, not bitter. You have to keep moving on regardless
of the rejection, negative experiences, financial challenges etc.
eni a ba f’eyin ti, egun loje (Yoruba proverb)
a person one is supposed to lean on or a helper has become a thorn.
I can’t imagine what it feels
like when a supposed source of inspiration becomes a source of discouragement.
At some point someone asked her questions like- who gave you the name, Helen
Paul? Who did your naming ceremony? Na wa
o!!
I am yet to see a person who
became successful without having to face, fight and conquer their Goliaths. As I
listened to Helen Paul’s story closely, I saw a lady who understands the role having
a positive attitude and the role it plays on the journey to greatness.
Don’t quit because you have been
rejected or victimized. Don’t stop because of little success, you’ve got a lot
of grounds to cover.
Helen’s story is an inspiration,
I hope you gain as much as possible and draw inspiration from her success
nuggets.
Thanks for reading. Please share
with others.
