SADIO MANE, FROM GRASS TO GRACE – WRITTEN BY OSCAR BIMPONG

SADIO MANE, FROM GRASS TO GRACE

To succeed is not about what you don’t have but about what you can do to achieve your goals against all odds.

To get to the pinnacle of your success depends on you and not a third party. Your sheer determination, passion and desire to succeed should supersede any obstacle against your success.

For those wanting to start their vision big quoting huge sums of money with unmeasurable resources instead of starting small, this a message from Sadio Mane of Liverpool to you. The first picture is his first trial for an academy in Dakar and just imagine the boots that he was wearing.

First I want to ask you how long you have waited and still waiting to start your vision big? Those that you are waiting for them to help you start big, why have they not helped you but they keep given you one promise after another?

The sad aspect is that you don’t even have anything to show for your works when there is an opportunity today.

The problem of too many of such people is that their ego, talkativeness as against taking action, attitude and lack of vision prevents you from starting from humble beginnings.

The fact is they never start their vision as any vision you start is like what is depicted in the picture. There is nothing to write about your vision and at this level is where people mock you, they laugh at you, they easily write you off and they can boldly tell you that you will not amount to anything.

However, the fact is people can only measure your success from the outside from what they see and not from the inside. No one can be able to measure the passion, desire, focus, level of talent and intellect of a person as that is domiciled inside and the person that carries it is the only person to determine what they carry and what they can do.

Today, Sadio Mane is the Champions League winner in 2019, CAF best player and the Club Championship winner this year. The amazing aspect is he is on the road to win the Premier League this season after a premier league drought for Liverpool since 1989.

I want you to understand that success comes to those that learn to start from humble beginnings.

The picture speaks for itself and that is, it is your duty to take a bold step to ignite the journey to success. As a Man United fan, I can only admire the man Sadio Mane as a person and not Liverpool as a whole.

Remember its possible if only you believe

Congratulations Sadio Mane.

MORAL MESSAGES FROM MR OSCAR BIMPONG IN 2020

Leave a reply

Something rare happened to me today whilst driving. I drove from Thornton Heath high street to Coulsdon and that is over 8 miles journey. Along the journey, I could count around 15 traffic lights.

The amazing and surprising story is that each and every one of the traffic light was green the moment I get close to it. I sale through every traffic with ease and with no traffic. I thought I was dreaming and a such I was thinking one of them will turn yellow or red on me but it never happened. Remember this was not in the night but day time.

What is the lesson to be learnt here?

1. The first lesson is that miracles do happen. The unthinkable and the impossible can happen to all of us. I always say impossible means I’m possible. However, the advice is that you cannot be idle and bank your hope all the time on miracles. Get on the road to experience the miracle.

2. Since I started driving, this is the first time I have experienced something like this.

This means in pursuit of your vision, one day, that one big door will open that no man can shut. As the yellow and the red lights could not stop me, in the same way, nothing can stop you when your time comes for your big breakthrough.

3. Remember, though consistently I was encountering yellow and red lights anytime I drive which symbolises delaying and challenges, it never stopped me from driving. This means that your success is based on your consistent attitude amidst difficult and challenging moments in pursuit of your vision. This is the only way to experience your breakthrough one day.

4. I never expected this experience and I never thought such a thing can happen to me. This means your breakthrough will be a surprise to you and it will shock many. Work hard and be expectant in 2020.

5. Also, remember that for you to get to your destination, you need to be on the road. That means for you to succeed, you need to be in constant pursuit of your vision. Doors only open when you are in active mode. Just think about if I had given up on driving, there was no way I could experience this. Meaning winners never quit and quitters never win.

My word to you in 2020 is that keep believing and learn to be on the road of your vision as that is the only road where miracles, breakthroughs and encountering the impossible and destiny helpers are. Keep pushing the boundaries and never give up on your dream no matter how challenging and difficult the journey becomes.

One day you will experience your green traffic light and that will be your breakthrough.

Remember it’s possible if only you believe.
