INFORMATION; The Power That Controls Our Future

Why give up? Life is full with so much endless possibilities.

All men were born equal, so being rich or poor is a mentality. Children cannot differentiate between wealth or poverty, they believe they can get everything they desires. Time and the informations they received and accepted determines how their future would be like.

Imagine a story about two kids born into this world by two different family, one was born into a rich home and the other a poor home. Equally, they both believe they have everything they need but as time passes and as they grew older their family first begins to have influence over them with respect to the environment and society they live in. They begin to receive informations which has power to affect, control and manipulate their thoughts or decisions this changing their mentality and creating an awareness of wealth, power and influence to the child born into a rich home and an awareness of poverty, hardship and suffering to the child born into a poor home.

The most amazing thing some persons fail to realise in life is that you can actually become whatever you want to be by accepting only the informations that are consistent with the plans and dreams you aspire and neglecting otherwise.

You are a reflection of the informations you received and accepted. You are a Frenchman today because you were told by your parents or probably you believed your family lineage is Frech irrespective of the environment you reside, likewise for an Englishman, German, Dutchman etc.

So you see, the informations you accept about yourself matters a lot. If one chooses to accept everything that life has to offer, he may end up living a life he didn't planned for. Like an old fiction story about a baby lion found by a farmer and was taken to live in the farmer's farm among sheeps. The cub, naived about who he really was, grew up among the sheeps and was influenced with a mentality that he too was a sheep like the others. He behaves like them, eat like them, talk like them and does everything they do. Even his own body built and colour could not convinced him that he wasn't a sheep.

One day while the herd including the grown lion were all in the field, another lion of about same age with the lion came out from the wild into the field and begins to chase the herd. All the sheeps including the lion ran away, this happened again on the second day. After the lion from the wild has left the field, the herd gathered to drink water from a river nearby. As they drank, the lion saw it's own reflection and was surprised to see itself looking like the other lion from the wild. From that moment, his mentality changed and became aware of who he really was. He said to himself that he's not a sheep but a lion, therefore he is not going to be afraid of the wild lion anymore and when next the wild lion shows up, he is going to confront it.

So on the next day while the herd were in the field, the lion from the wild came out once again and all the sheeps ran away. This time the lion refuses to run away, instead he confronted the wild lion and went with him into the wild.

Just like the story, some persons are born with greatness but the environment and society they find themselves in like the farm filled with sheeps. The environment, society, family,friends, peers and information they receives influences them. Thus creating a mentality of how impossible it is for them to succeed and win in life. At that time the things they do doesn't seem different from those around them. They give up and continuing living their lives as sheeps, scared of who they really are or what they aspire to be. Ignorant of being the lion they, their life beginning to look like a crumbling mountain with the feeling of fustration on achieving the dreams they truely desires.

Looking at it's own reflection on the water only informed the lion about who it really was, thus changing it's mentality. Only the information a man received can change his mentality. Our future is determined by the information we receive and accept today.

You are a doctor, lawyer, businessman, or an engineer today because of the informations you've received in your past. A person who lacks information is deformed and cannot perform while a person with information Controls the world. SO GET INFORMED.
