\u201cWe talked about sacrifice. From school, public administration, no work, doing okada, but the truth is I already have it in my mind that I will not work for anybody. First of all, you must have a blueprint of what you want to become,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was struggling, doing things on my own. It was not easy. There were a lot of distractions that it got to the point that I was suicidal. I attempted suicide three good times. That is when I know that even I cannot take my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat is why I now believe that when you are suicidal your miracle is close, the devil does not just want you to attain it. The closer you are to your destiny, the more difficult the challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen the devil wants to frustrate you no be an outsider, but your immediate family. They say a man\u2019s foes are the members of his family. Your biggest enemy is your family first.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
