SELFLESSNESS

                                     

Martin Luther king Jnr says “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country”

Hello Everyone, Welcome to Inspire You.
I know we all are familiar with the word SELFLESSNESS. It means when a person cares enough to take a risk on their own without ever expecting a token in return of their deed, act or accomplishment.
                                             

This buttress what Malcolm Forbes said; “the true measure of a man is how he treat someone who can do him absolutely no good”
I know it takes a lot of determination and conscious effort on our part to be selfless. We have learnt covertly and overtly that a selfless person is either dumb or wasteful! 

                                       

As a child we learn a whole lot of things; our parent, environment and the schools we attend has consciously formed who we became. We are in a society that doesn't preach selflessness and in other to survive; every man struggles for his/herself alone not thinking about his fellow neighbor and sometimes behave like a “parasite”.
                                         
Its left for us to unlearn every attribute of selfishness and begin to learn the ‘act of being selfless’
                               
                                          
Mother Theresa and Nelson Mandela will forever be remembered for their selfless works.

I thought to myself how it would be if we all become selfless in Nigeria. 
                                                 

Sure Nigeria will become a great country where we will be living in peace, things will work out well. We would not have issues with electricity, security etc. But all of these can only happen if we all become Selfless in our deeds and respective fields.

This is a clarion call to all of us to become selfless for once and see if there won’t be a change. “The change we clamor for can only be achieve if we all decide to play our role, not minding if we die changing it”
