Life is a
big stage and you are expected to perform. The kinds of performance you decide
to give depend on you and this can be determined by a lot of factors. As an
actor in the Stage of life you are expected to give an amazing account of
yourself without a script and before you there are scripts. You are not given a
specific role and before you there are available roles begging to be played.
Most people become more confuse with life, You want to study every scripts and
play every role while some people don’t just bother about living out any
scripts they keep on playing roles that come their ways only for them to
realize it when the hair is grey that they have been helping others achieving
their dreams while theirs was still in their subconscious mind. Some on the
other hands play the role life bestowed on them to amuse themselves. This is
why success varies anyway!
As an actor that pick up
scripts, choose a role and rehearse it well before going on stage you will definitely
excel on stage. The scripts here are autobiography or biography of great men
and women that have seen, fought and conquered. In as much that you are
distinct and unique there is need to look at yourself and pick up a script to
act a role in the movie of life. Here is not an advice for you to live a copied
life “fake Life” it is just a suggestion to live a life as a Model of an Icon
going or that might have gone into extinction. The fact that there is nothing
new under the Sun is a threat to your ambition and your dream. There is nothing
you want to achieve that is new; somebody somewhere would have done it, the
only opportunity you have is that your achievement might beat the person’s
record. So, if you want the sky to be your starting point then you need tales
of lives and Times of people whose limit was sky.
Life
is never a bed of roses but patches of grasses embedded with thorns. Charles
Darwin was of the opinion that Life is about survival of the fittest. The fact
that you cannot always be the fittest at all time is a reality of the law of
diminishing returns neither can you always be the smartest; even often times
lion fall prey to tiger. To survive in life you just have learn from those who
have survived and those who have not. A picture of an icon on your desk-top is
a ray of hope and the tales of his/her life and time will tell you when there
is hope there is Life.
In Life it is either you live
for something or you fall for everything. People have lived for things and
their names have become Libraries, others names have become books, while some
were chapters, some were paragraphs and many were words. Some people were not
even remembered by the writers of history. Those whose name made the book of
histories majority of then did not do something extra ordinary they only live
for something their “Role Model” lived for. Jesus Christ lived for love of God
and Love of Man, he has had millions of people looking up him as a Role Model.
Some of those who chose to role in the model of this icon had become icon too. St.
Valentine, St. John Paul II and St.Teresa of Calcutta are typical examples
of Icons the world at large accepted
that they are models to emulate.
Picking a “Role Model” may seem
Childish but it is Childlike and essential for our personal development and
Success in life. “To role in a model” of an icon will make you a prototype of
who you want to be without losing out what you want to be. More so, it gives
you the opportunity to draw hope from stories of your role models when you face
the storm, you would have learnt how to move on during storms. Finally, role
models beget role models, so you pick an Icon to live like then some will have
to see you as an Icon to live like…. Let me live you with my Top ten Icons 10. Olu Jacobs &Joke Silve r 9. Bill
