HOW POSSIBLE IS THE FLY OF THE WINGLESS BIRD?

A strong desire to be wise is the prerequisite for tremendous success in this life. You cannot succeed if you are not ready; even if grace speaks, grace may later embrace the state of incommunicado. A pauper never considered eating three square meals, but the question still remains: "How will a man who is going nowhere be able to feed his family? Because the fishermen don't even have a fish pond, the adage "Teach me to fish, never give me fish to eat" is no longer valid. This is extremely disheartening and prompts me to ponder the age-old question, "How possible is the fly of the wingless bird?"

This is one of many multitasking situations in this country where people are desperately trying to find means to an end. Although they lack wings, they wished to fly. We hope for positive changes because some Nigerian public employees toiled to make their days financially prosperous but later the government did not pay their salaries. Since there is currently a change in political power, Nigerians expect positive change.

Many families have recently experienced extreme stress due to unmeasureable poverty all over the world. Some even experienced penury, which is the most severe form of poverty, leading to homelessness and begging in the streets as a result of recessions, layoffs, population of the family, etc. 

Birds who have been wounded by the lethal arrow of extreme poverty frequently have negative outcomes. No matter how valuable their perspective, it will never be accepted by the wealthy or even by a purportedly holy organization. The Seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, stated that "extreme poverty anywhere is a threat to human security everywhere" for this reason, we must learn to relearn and learn to unlearn. 

Additionally, it is challenging to send children from impoverished backgrounds to heaven-on-earth schools where they can receive a high-quality education and pursue their aspirations of spreading their wings in style. Some narrowly avoided ignorance, thanks to scholarships or made a beeline for a government-run school. Children who are less fortunate can be identified by their torn uniforms, worn-out or missing school bags, unbuckled shoes, lack of necessary supplies, and the absence of any suggested textbooks.

           

Furthermore, what comfort does an eight-person family get from living in a one-room apartment that barely fits their minimal personal effects? Why do the wealthy get richer and the poor get poorer, I pondered. To put it simply, the wealthy work in abundance mode with an I-can-do-it attitude, whereas the impoverished operate in scarcity mode with an I-cannot-do-it mind. Evidently, people consider the cause of why the poor continue to exist in poverty. Is it because they are understaffed, mentally unstable, illiterate, or for some other reason? Unknowingly to them that Rome wasn't built in a day, it is poco a poco (little by little), it became a hat-doffing-sighting area with the aid of numerous relentless finishers. 

All in all, wingless birds have many different habitats, and they must avoid being hasty lest they meet their demise. Say to yourself, 'It's time I develop a written financial plan, get into the habit of saving, live below my means, stay out of debt, invest in ways that work for me, start my own business, and get professional advice,' and you won't be worried on how possible is the fly of the wingless bird. When other birds hover high in the sky with their wings spread out, dear wingless birds, since you've got the solution; you are developing your wings, so fly according to your capacity.
