Dear Fab N-Heart, friends, haters* and all likes Wow! what a
year that has gone bye, it beats my imaginations but how time flies so
fast and we all have been ushered into the dawn of a new year 2012.
In
2011 the journey or my dream was to " STEP INTO GREATER HEIGHTS" to
that end it took time and energy to plan where i was heading, what i
wanted to achieve and showcase to the world, and that came with so much
challenges and i would say that due to the bad nature of man which is in
every man that in turn distort your focus really made my previous
year's goal slow, but by the time said to myself enough of the MAN'S
DISEASE *PROCRASTINATION* and stand up to do something with my life
things just began taking a great shape, dreams came alive and you were
all a witness to a tremendous growth in my career last year and i am
grateful to all who supported me and gave me platforms such EUGENE. K.
CHINEBUAH who saw somethings special in me and made me perform at the
Exclusive Saturday Night Live GH, Ama K Abebrese and Miss Chantelle of
VIASAT 1 who gave me a slot to showcase my talent on the celebrated TV
show THE 1 SHOW, more shows came and in 2012it promises to be a fun
packed year for all my fab fans which i love to term N-HEARTZ (N for-
Nnaemeka and HeartZ for a big heart that i have for you all) starting of
with an interview for 3 major Magazines print/online to Ghanaian soft
sell newspaper HI-NEWSPAPER. Promising great interviews this year and
lots of shows, one major show i would want all you to keep fingers
crossed is my official Career Launch, with a major nominations up my
sleeve via WWW.MYYIGA.COM Cc YOUTH IMPACT GHANA AWARDS we are hoping
this year should and would be a great fulfilling one not only for me but
all you who have something up your sleeves this year.
Well
from me to you!
Never think you are not good enough
to be who you want to be, sometimes we want people or everyone around
to hear or just listen to us, well you might not be lucky to have them
around so then do you throw away the towel just because no one cared or
'listened" look within yourself and find that inner joy, there is
something lurking around you wanting to burst forth, this new year
don't do what others are doing my friend not everyone is cut for the
White Collar Job market, and not all would be the brightest musician or
actors, think about great people like Jim Rohn who decided
not
to allow the situation of his family determine his future or the famous
Ben Carson who we all knew as a dull student in school but decided one
day Enough is Enough and today is celebrated as one of America's Neurosurgeon
at Johns Hopkins Hospital. The famous American TV Host OPRAH
WINFREY would always continue to be a woman who i hold in high esteem
not for her fame, money or power but her commitment to break barriers,
saying to herself i was never going to be pushed to the back because
of my color or sexual plight i went through as a young girl but went on
to be the most powerful black TV woman in America and the whole world.
On Thursday 5th January i was just trying to surf some good
entertainment news from my regular web portal www.bellanaija.com and i

If anyone has said these below things:-
· Your are not ____________ enough to get this job.(fill with
Talented ,
intelligent ,smart ,tall ,healthy ,rich).· You don’t have
sufficient education.· Failures cannot achieve or do anything.
· Education is everything.
· Categorized you based on you grades.
· See with awful eyes if you are drop out or failed in school
assessment.
·
Judge you based on grades.
Basically these are those people
· Who don’t know what life is and don’t understand what life
is?
· Who
have no common knowledge
· Narrow minded and immature thinking (Sorry but that's the
truth)
Below are those people who proved to be successful without
Formal education and ranks.
These are the legendary people, who
are dropouts, failed in school assessments but they proved that they are
the greatest minds.
They have one thing in
Common
Never Give Up
1) Albert Einstein was a
theoretical physicist widely regarded as the most important scientist
of the 20th century. He was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics
for his explanation of the photoelectric effect in 1905 and "for his
services to Theoretical Physics". However, when Einstein was young, his
parents thought he was mentally retarded. His grades in school were so
poor that a teacher asked him to quit, saying, "Einstein, you will
never amount to anything!" and his list of failures continue.
He
dropped out of school at age 15. . In 1905, he published four research
papers that outlined his theories on relativity, equivalence of mass
and energy (e=mc2), Brownian motion, and the photon theory of light.
The theory of relativity was very controversial, and although it was
proven in 1919, the Nobel committee did not mention it when bestowing
the prize.
2) Bill Gates was a Harvard University dropout.
The most ironic part is that, he started a software company (that was
soon to become Microsoft) by purchasing the software technology from
"someone" for only $US50 back then.
3) Abraham Lincoln,
received no more than 5 years of formal education throughout his
lifetime. When he grew up, he joined politics and had 12 major failures
before he was elected the 16th President of the United States of
America.
4) Isaac Newton was the greatest English
mathematician of his generation. His work on optics and gravitation
made him one of the greatest scientists the world has even known. Many
thought that Isaac was born a genius, but he wasn't! When he was young,
he did very poorly in grade school, so poor that his teachers became
clueless in improving his grades.
5) Ludwig van Beethoven, a
German composer of classical music, is widely regarded as one of
history's supreme composers. His reputation has inspired - and in many
cases intimidated - composers, musicians, and audiences who were to
come after him. Before the start of his career, Beethoven's music
teacher once said of him "as a composer, he is hopeless". And during
his career, he lost his hearing yet he managed to produce great music -
a deaf man composing music, ironic isn't!
6) In 1947, one year
into her contract, Marilyn Monroe was dropped by 20th Century-Fox
because her producer thought she was unattractive and cannot act. That
didn't deter her at all! She kept on going and eventually she was
recognized by the public as the 20th century's most famous movie star,
sex symbol and pop icon.
7)Thomas Edison who developed
many devices which greatly influenced life in the 20th century. Edison
is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding
1,093 U.S patents to his name. When he was a boy his teacher told him
he was too stupid to learn anything. When he set out on his own, he
tried more than 9,000 experiments before he created the first
successful light bulb.
8) By acclamation, Michael Jordon
is the greatest basketball player of all time. A phenomenal athlete
with a unique combination of grace, speed, power, artistry,
improvisational ability and an unquenchable competitive desire. Jordan
single-handily redefined the NBA superstar. Before joining NBA, Jordan
was just an ordinary person, so ordinary that was cut from high school
basketball team because of his "lack of skill".
9)Winston
Churchill failed the 6th grade. However, that never stopped him to
work harder! He strived and eventually became the Prime Minister of the
United Kingdom during the Second World War. Churchill is generally
regarded as one of the most important leaders in Britain and world
history. In a poll conducted by the BBC in 2002 to identify the "100
Greatest Britons", participants voted Churchill as the most important of
all.
10) Steven Spielberg is an American film director.
He has won 3 Academy Awards and ranks among the most successful
filmmakers in history. Most of all, Steven was recognized as the
financially most successful motion picture director of all time. During
his childhood, Spielberg dropped out of junior high school. He was
persuaded to come back and was placed in a learning-disabled class. He
only lasted a month and then dropped out of school forever.
11)
John Grisham's first novel was rejected by sixteen agents and twelve
publishing houses. He went on writing and writing until he became best
known as a novelist and author for his works of modern legal drama. The
media has coined him as one of the best novel authors even alive in the
21st century.
12) Akio Morita, founder of giant electric
household products, Sony Corporation, first product was an electric
rice cooker, only sold 100 cookers (because it burned rice rather than
cooking). Today, Sony is generating US$66 billion in revenue and ranked
as the world's 6th largest electronic and electrical company.
13)
Soichiro Honda was turned down by Toyota Motor Corporation during a
job interview as "engineer" after World War Two. He continued to be
jobless until his neighbors starting buying his "home-made scooters".
Subsequently, he set out on his own to start his own company. Honda.
Today, the Company has grown to become the world's largest motorcycle
manufacturer and one of the most profitable automakers - beating giant
automaker such as GM and Chrysler. With a global network of 437
subsidiaries, Honda develops, manufactures, and markets a wide variety
of products ranging from small general-purpose engines and scooters to
specialty sports cars.
14) Henry Ford's first two automobile
companies failed. That did not stop him from incorporating Ford Motor
Company and being the first to apply assembly line manufacturing to the
production of affordable automobiles in the world. He not only
revolutionized industrial production in the United States and Europe,
but also had such influence over the 20th century economy and society.
His combination of mass production, high wages and low prices to
consumers has initiated a management school known as "Fordism". He
became one of the three most famous and richest men in the world during
his time.
15) Genevieve Nnaji everyone who knows
me very well knows that she is someone who inspires me in my acting
field and my choice of entering into the entertainment world, but this
woman against born May 3rd grew up in the hustling and bustling of
Lagos where i spent 17years of my life as a young teenage girl Nnaji got
pregnant now her whole world must be shattered, dreams, goals of
becoming a Lawyer as she always says she would have become if she were
not an actress were thrown, what did her family, friends or peers do or
react to these TABOO as an IBO girl from the Eastern Part of Nigeria is
expected to rise to be great and find a husband, well Genny never gave
up and in fact God bless her parents who nurtured her daughter when she
gave birth and she forged on with what God had in stall for her and
start pursuing her talent Acting, auditioning for jobs around Lagos and
years down the line Genevieve Nnaji has shaken all obstacle something
many girls around the world have to get "NEVER GIVE UP" and has become
Of one Nolly-wood's best Actress and Africa's biggest Actress.
Now
ask yourself these questions
a) Are these people and even many
other people who have made it more better than you
b) Did God give
them extra heads aside the ones you and i have
c) Where do these
people live isn't it on planet "EARTH"
My greatest mentor of all
times once said and it's my life Quote "
TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST, BUT
TOUGH PEOPLE DO'"
Dont let that situation weigh you down
neither should u allow the circumstances of your family weigh you down
to determine your pace in life
here are my 5 life's pillar words
1)
I am who i am, what you don't know i am and what we think i could be
2)
You (I) are the architect of our life and destiny.
3) Don't blame
your parents for not giving you a cozy or life you have ever wanted,
but the world would crucify and blame you if you dot become the person
you want to be by being diligently positive at all times
4) Never
allow any man determine the pace of your life
5) That you know me
3,4,5,6,7 or 10 years ago doesn't give you the right to judge me or put
me in a box you felt i deserve. Only God has the power to fix you where
he so desires.
So fab N-HeartZ this 2012 you should never
let your past weigh you down rise above every circumstances that may
arise, no one has the right to judge you because they feel like it or
based on the wrong you have committed, no man is righteous, let your
love be without covetousness this year, be filled with so much joy don't
let anyone put you down, strive to be the greatest.
In
the meantime would resume online social chatting/publications

journey with me in 2012, not forgetting my twitter fans God bless you
