I would like to thank God for the wisdom that he has given me to write this book, and for all the people that he has brought into my life on the road to success.

I would like to say a very special thank you to the four old ladies in the children’s home who played a great part in my life. They sharpened my life and taught me practical life tools of life for me to use when the storms of life came; and I am still using those tools today.

Foreward – A Little African Story

The Rich Man & His Daughter

First, let me share with you a funny story that I read a few years ago. This story made me laugh until tears came out of my eyes then a flood of memories from my past came and overwhelmed me with even more laughter.

The author of this story is Olumide Emmanuel and it comes from one of his books, Living Above Average.

It goes like this:

A very rich man that had only one daughter called all the men in the city that desired to marry his daughter to come to his house for screening. If anyone succeeded in the quest the rich man posed them, they would have the option to collect a million dollars or marry his daughter.

On the day of screening he took all the interested men to the Olympic sized swimming pool on his estate, and told them all to line up in preparation to swim to the other side. The first person to cross the pool would be the winner.

They all went forth to the line-up at the pool side only to discover that it was a pool full of alligators.  Even though they all desired the reward, no one was willing to take the risk While they all waited in confusion, they heard a splash.

There was one man in the pool swimming with all his might and before they knew it, he was out on the other side panting but unharmed. The millionaire was impressed and confessed that he did not really think anyone could do it. He asked the man, So what do you want as your reward, my daughter or the one million dollars?

The winner, still panting heavily, replied, I don’t want your daughter or your money, all I want is the person who pushed me into the water!

Even though he was looking angrily for the man who had pushed him in, that person had made it so that he now qualified for the reward and the man’s blessings to marry his daughter.

The moral of the story is that sometimes we need someone to push us out
