In the Book of Genesis, it is stated that God, who has all Supremacy, Creativity, Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding, created man in His image. Therefore, we are essentially mini versions of Him. This means that we possess all the tools and know-how to accomplish something spectacular. The Lord paired His words with actions. So, we shouldn’t just dream; we should also take steps toward achieving our dreams, no matter how insignificant the effort may seem. If my father is a Creator, then I too should be a creator of something or a mechanic fixing broken events and mechanisms, no matter how small it may seem to me. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s use our brains. Confront your problems—don’t run from them. If you run, they will always come back, but if you solve them, it will be once and for all! Those little ideas you think are unnecessary or might not fit in during these modern times might be the very tools, ideas, events, plans, machines, or inventions the world has been waiting for. Don’t settle for mediocrity; start now. Lacking proper education isn’t a valid reason, not speaking good English, French, or Arabic isn’t a good excuse either, and being tall, short, dark, yellow, Christian, Muslim, Igbo, or Hebrew isn’t a sufficient reason. Be a thinker, dream like Joseph, and the world will bow at your feet! Do something, please — the world is patiently waiting for you.
