MOTIVATIONAL TONIC: Ordinary Woman With an Excellent Spirit

Written by

Omoruyi Uwuigiaren

If you have Jesus Christ but you lack the will to survive, you are of all men most miserable.

If everything you see is defeat, you can never achieve any feat.

Draw strength from her misfortune.

Amputated at 11.

Left alone to fend for herself in a treacherous city like Lagos.

You have no excuse if you have hands and feet and still fail.

You will be held responsible for everything that happens to you.

This is an ordinary woman with an excellent spirit.

The leg was off but her spirit was on.

She is an example of snatching victory at the jaws of defeat.

Work even when the conditions are not right.
