What do you have in your hands?


   It was during one of my national service days in a village called Atwima Mponua in the Ashanti Region, Ghana. I chanced upon this little girl with another group of kids happily playing in what seemed to be the ruins of a Zoom Lion garage. Tricycles for dumping refuse, as well as other refuse containers locally called BORLA CONTAINER was their playground. To them, it was their circus as they made sure they consumed every bit of fun it could offer them. Amidst all the health hazards and dangers it posed to them, they seem to only care about one thing, fun. They needed to have fun and at that very moment that was the only way they could enjoy themselves. They were using what they had to get what they wanted.


So my question, what do you have in your hands? We seek to reach the top in whatever it is that we are doing, that’s if you are really serious about it. Whatever it is, take some time off, sit down; analyze your strengths and your weaknesses. Know what you have, it may be little but work with it, gradually it will grow and it will get you exactly where you want to be. Why make the clouds your limit when for others, its but a stepping stone? What do you have in your hands?
