THE UNSUNG HEROES

With every great warrior in ancient history there is always a side kick who seems to be insignificant and dispensable but in so many occasions they are the one who save the warrior from iminent danger or death. A lot of legends out there validates this.
Similarly, there are some group of people in present day history that deserves to be celebrated and appreciated but aren’t even noticed. So i decided to write my lilliputian piece about them. These group of people are the ones i called the “unsung heroes” without these people we might not have the so called heroes, discoverers, inventors etc of today.
For instance, the person or group of people that provided the manpower and support that enabled Wilbur and Orville Wright to build the first aeroplane.
The person that encouraged and also provided moral and other form of support that enabled a formerly dumb kid in school to believe in himself and eventually become one of the most brilliant, famous and successful paediatric nerosurgeons in the world. Dr ben carson.
The person that encouraged Van beethoven who was formerly an underperforming student in music class to eventually become a relevant name in the history of classical music.
The original owner of the idea of facebook that Mark Zuckerberg developed and eventually became famous for today.
The rookies that sacrificed their lives to protect their king on the battle field. The list goes on and on
The truth is that there are a lot of famous stars or celebrities today who wouldn’t have gotten to such positions without the significant support of one person or the other in the their life history that enabled them to hit stardom. It could be their parents, siblings,spouse, friends, personal assistant etc. Without these people we might not have the so called heroes in existence today, life might even be miserable for its inhabitants. So the bottom line is; these group of people deserves to be celebrated, appreciated and recognized too, so that parents, wives, husbands, wards can learn from such people, Dont you think so?

APPRECIATE WHAT U’VE GOT


If you have never been hungry you won’t appreciate food, if you have never been in darkness you won’t value light well enough, if you have never been sick you won’t know the immense value of sound health, if you have never lacked you won’t cherish abundance, if you have never failed you won’t prize good success, if you have never lost a loved one you won’t treasure having them around, if you have never tasted death and survived you might not regard the gift of life as inestimable. so, appreciate whatever you’ve got while you still have it don't wait until you lose it before you know its value. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
