"I will not be another flower, picked for my beauty and left to die. I will be wild, difficult to find and impossible to forget.".........Erin Van Vuren

There is a certain man I respect so much. I really wished to meet him. Unfortunately, its not part of my habits in waiting endlessly in order to see someone. I don't have such capability at all.

Since the biggest answer to the deepest question in every man is within him; So I began to ask myself which method I can adopt to meet this great man. Then I heard the answer from my soul: "BECOME FIRST,THE PERSON YOU WISH TO MEET".

I was dazed to hear this. It sounds like the popular quote of the great Mahatma Gandhi "Become the change you want to see in this world."

Chasing men is like chasing shadows. But if you can sit down and build capacity. If you can sit down and cultivate value and organize relevant and marketable content; you are on the path of becoming the person you longed to meet.

The first key in becoming who you wish to meet is to CREATE AN ARTIFICIAL SCARCITY OF YOURSELF. Stop attending every burial, birthdays and other social functions.

The goodnews here is that, it cost you nothing. Infact, it makes you spend less of the meagre funds you have with you.
Stop appearing in the village every time they call on you. You must break some rules if you really want to be great.

Haven't you noticed the big man in your family owes nobody apology for his deeds? Haven't you noticed everybody waits for him to fix the date(s) for the family events?

Therefore, remove yourself from those who travel many kilometres every weekend for a plate of meal and a gift of plastic. Use this precious period to sit down and add value to your life.

There is a popular myth amongst the poor - 'if you don't attend other people's event, no one will attend your event'. What a lie! A rich man has many friends; failure is an orphan.

You won't know how much people who are members of your family until your breakthrough comes. Those who aren't your family will claim they are one. When you call a person as a rich man, 10 people will answer you.

Please note: your success is more important than gallivanting up and down trying to please people. Its only results that knocks out insults. How much is an umbrella, waste paper basket or hand fan that you have to travel miles to collect as survenier for attending a party?

Therefore, if you desire to meet a certain great person: become that person first by practicing his values which brought his virtues and in no time,the two of you will meet on a level playing ground.

"The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear."

This is my story. ..... Socrates
