I know you wish you were like me right? Losa asked him one evening after dinner. Of course, I do. No one would wish to be like me. would you? Lekan asked. No, I would not but there is something you can challenge and that is your mind. Your mind Lekan, is what is a challenge you and keep you in bondage. It shows you your shortcoming because that is what you want to see and keep your advantages and abilities from you. it makes you see the dwarf called Lekan in you do and in your are very conscious of yourself as a dwarf. If only you can hear and see Lekan the giant that is in you will make a lot of difference. Is that true and possible? Lekan asked.

Yes every bit of it, My dear Lekan every human being carried both a dwarf and giant in his mind. If a man fetes the dwarf his though action and the end result will also be dwarfish. But if a man fetes the giant his thought, action and result will be as big as a giant, Losa said.

Lekan pondered over what Losa had just said. He seemed not to understand the statement so he asked, How can a small man like me carry a giant? Losa smiled and patted him on the shoulder, you see Lekan, the mind is the home of ideas. The extent to which you use it and how you use it will determine if you will produce a dwarf idea or a giant of a giant of an idea. The house we live in, the car, train, aeroplane, the cloth we wear and every other thing made by man are products of the mind. The men and women who made more are just like you are and I, some short, some tall. But the difference between you and them is that while they are concerned about using the giant of ideas in their mind to make things that are of benefit to us all. But your mind is closed and not working at solving the problems. So think Lekan think and put your mind to use. Do nodded i will tell you some more, some other day. It is bedtime.
