3 Courses you must go through on your pursuit of greatness!



From where I stand, I believe these are three necesarry Courses you must go through on your pursuit of greatness!

Being Mocked 101
     This talks about being teased or laughed at in a scornful or contemptuous manner.
This is the stage people look at your dream as being bigger than you, your pocket and brains! They see no way you could possibly achieve such a dream and most time your family background doesn't help issues. But don't worry about it, over the time, great achievements have been by little men with great minds! E.g: Jesus Christ, Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. (Just few)

Being Hated 102
Intense dislike! This is very common, and it something you should probably learn to live with. Truth is, you can't please everyone, no matter how hard you try, some people are going to just make up their minds not to like you for some feeble reasons!
Reasons like; The way you carry yourself, the way you talk, your views and ideas, your dreams and even your beliefs!

So you don't have to kill yourself over it, you see those guys on the first course? They were hated too at some point, but it didn't change anything!

Being Misunderstood 103
Act of ones motive being misinterpreted! (My definition)
This is my favorite! I have had a lot of experience on this course! Have you ever fought on behalf of someone and that person turns around to blame you for their misfortune instead of being grateful? It is not fun!
As a leader not many will understand you at instant in every meeting but one thing is certain at the end, they will get it!

When you were constructing those dreams in your head nobody was there so don't expect immediate acceptance when you do share it!

One thing is certain! This three courses are steps to your greatness, they are not to drag you down but to keep you strong and resilient till you get to the top and remain there!

 M arch 1st 2015 Hmm, where do I start from, don't really know how to do this, but I heard keeping a journal or Diary can help relieve stress, trust me, I have so much I need relief from. So I guess I will start with introducing myself... Dear diary, I am Temtope Olohuntoyin, friends call me temi, enemies? I don't really care much what they think. I was born some 27yrs ago into the family of mr and mrs olohuntoyin mom damilola dad bidemi. Live in Lagos Nigeria. My parents story, I think it's best we reserve it for another day, It is a handful. As an only child I am so loved, I went to the best of schools, have the best of everything, well almost everything... Recently, I over heard my friends talking about me, some how they think I have had everything handed down to me, born with a silver spoon, blah blah blah... I must say I was shocked at first, but then again that's what most friends do, talk about you behind your back. I just wish they knew it's not as

8pm Ha! Can't believe the trouble I had to go through just to cook myself something to eat, setting up a place to cook wasn't easy, the house where I got an accommodation is made up of six rooms with a long hall separating them, making it three rooms on each sides with no kitchen, it was like I was back to school again, only that this time it was very different. Back then at school, the houses were pretty, more comfy and it smelled better, plus I didn't really live in one of those houses I just visited some friends there. After much debate, I finally decided to set up my kitchen just outside my door, this meant I had to keep an eye on it not because I didn't want the food getting burnt but because I don't have much trust for anyone here yet, it's better safe than sorry! Back home, though I still complained about cooking but we pretty much had it easy! Too easy! You pretty much cooked and ate, slept at the same place. Life in the city is a distinct contrast

March 4th 2016 Dear diary, this is my second day here now and so far, it's been crazy! Came back late yesterday as I feared, turns out the bank was way off this Village! I was able to get some stuffs, even though they were not really up to my taste, I guess I will make do with what I have! I finally put a call through to my family, I called Lekan first, I could barely hear him, but he sounded angry, something about why I didn't tell him about my trip, I guess he called home and they told him about it... Awww, whatever! Mom was happy to finally hear from me, she kept asking "omo mi (my child) are you alright, are you safe, what are you eating, how are you coping?. ..  So many questions, I could barely say anything, when she finally gave me a chance to speak, I just told her I was ok, that she shouldn't worry about me. I guess Dad is still pissed at me, cos he wouldn't talk to me, mom said not to worry about him that he will eventually come around, so I have de
