It is a true life story of a cripple who realized that God did not create him empty; he discovered his talents and made proper use of them. The greatness discovery is self-discovery. You were given your gift for the joy you may give in arrival." ... Never mute your light because others are too frightened to come out of the dark." ...I do not believe that gifts, whether of mind or character, can be weighed like sugar and butter. A mere talent does not give glory to God but a humble heart using to bless the world.There's dissimilarity between disclosing that which is only your selling point and hiding away from the world, and not seeing, shining and sharing your individuality.In whatever way you can do so, according to the talents and gifts God has given you, you are to be salt and light and whatever part of Divinity you were made to be. You need to tell us what's going on with you so the rest of the Humanity (of which you are a part) can work together with you.If there is one transgression-or rather one misuse-it is not doing what you have the tendency or gift for. The secret of all prominence is to discover what you were born to do in life and then do it. You must find out your gifts and talents. Remember that our true purpose in life is to take care of one another. Our occupations are therefore tools for taking care of others using our natural talentsArouse the world with your ability, quake the world with your talents, move the world with your light, transform the world with your intelligence.What's secretly in the water of present civilization is that people enter the world empty. That's a very uncertain idea, because if everybody's empty than other people can get usto do whatever they want because there's nothingin us to stand against it. But if we came to dosomething that's meaningful, that involves giving andmaking the world a more beautiful, healthy, lively place, then you become an intricate person to move around and influence. This and more are the lessons this true life story will be teaching us. Obiora Okafor and Ncheta Obi
