Conversations of a man

This piece stands to pose an appreciation to the remarkable journeyings into prominence of a few successful who have risen from grass root origins to see out their dreams from small beginnings, having kept their lights aflame in assured hope and defiance. It is especially dedicated to a handful of these individuals who at heart thrive for reasons far much greater than personal emancipation but gather impetus from their often humble families, being driven by love to achieve more for the pride of their families and their small hometowns. In this ever expanding global community, we stand susceptible to detaching away from our backgrounds. We are tempted to adhering to the appeal of the mind that asserts that it matters not where we come from, what counts is where we are headed, a statement that is not entirely true. Our purposes from the very onset are fastened by the motivations we gained from the atmospheres we grew up around, and are molded along the course ways of our growth to make us who we are. When it comes to who we are today, whowewere yesterday factors in a huge deal.
