The Mystery I Love About Half Of A Yellow Sun By Chimamanda Adichie

 


"If you want to conquer fear, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy".
                                                                                                                            Dale Carnegie
There is an aspect of this book that I do spend a lot of time talking to myself about. Though the author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, have been a successful author but she did something that is very remarkable but majority have not noticed it. I want to suck dry the power behind her secret and present it to you cost free.
Chimamanda was born many years after Nigerian civil war. She have no idea of the ordeals of the war except Oral and Literal archive; but she fought and conquered her fears:
  • Fear to start.
  • Inferiority complex.
  • Fear of criticism.
  • She conquered the fear of gender inequality.
  • Lastly, she conquered herself(the hardest war of mankind)
My focus is on her last battle- to conquer self. A lot of people have awesome greatness in them but are so scared about what the world will say about them. That is why the grave is regarded as the wealthiest place in the world. People live and die with unfulfilled  destinies.
You have a lot of good of ideas popping up on your head all the time but you keep giving reasons why you must remain poor and die poor yet you dream to be rich some day. Man...you need to go out and get busy. Let people talk and let us see the harm it will cause you. It will never cause you any harm rather it will take you up to a height you list imagined.
Challenge yourself and take that bold step...and who knows, it might land you among great men you only saw in your dreams.
"For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories".
                                                                                                            Plato
See you at the top...
