Every human is special and unique. In fact, we're the most special species on earth. Our ability to think, and make rational decisions is top notch. Our ability to love is something else. However, most times, we fail to appreciate ourselves. That's why I feel this contest is timely. We deserve to appreciate ourselves, we need to know we're special. This will help us to keep going no matter how hard it gets.
@bossj23, @mmekan, @usoro01, please participate in this contest.
What makes you unique and special?
Every human including me has been gifted with a brain. This brain is so complex that we have not been able to fully comprehend it. In fact, I read somewhere that as smart as Albert Einstein was, he only used 0.3% of his brain.
This special gift makes me special. I can read and understand. That alone is enough reason to feel unique.
How do you think your experiences shape who you are as a person?
In my humble opinion, the experiences itself do not shape us. What we make of the experiences is what shapes us. It can either make or mar us. Learning from what we've been through will affect our choices and how we interact with people around us.
This has also been my story. The things I passed through as a child has made me strong and helps me make meaningful decisions when the need arise.
What values and beliefs do you hold that define your identity?
I'm someone that believes that humans have the power to write their future. This so called tomorrow although uncertain is to an extent in our own hands.
No one is destined to be poor, or destined to be rich. What you become in future is a product of the decisions you make, the opportunities you take advantage of, the people around you, and things like that.
How do you see yourself evolving and growing in the future?
Evolution and growth is a gradual process. I don't intend to grow overnight. It's all about taking each day step by step, making improvements day by day until I attain full maturity. And even then, I hope to continue evolving, maintaining the best version of myself.
What do you think sets you apart from others around you?
Well, I don't have any special talent. At least, I've not discovered anyone yet. However, one good thing about me is; The harder it gets, the stronger my desire for success.
I think this attitude helps me not to give up, to continue pushing until I achieve my goal.
This contest is beautiful. That's all I can say.
For my readers, I want to tell you to not give up. As long as you continue working hard, you'll get to where you want to be.
