MEN OF FREEDOM…..
THE ROAD TO INDEPENDENCE
For many people, Independence Day is about parades, politics and most importantly….the holiday we enjoy staying out of school and work. But for us at Debonair Afrik, independence will always be a day of tribute to the men [and women] who deserve our admiration for their unflinching valor and willingness to give it all up for the very sake of freedom.
The greatest heroes in life are those that never give up on someone. They stick it out and make it work. They sacrifice things in their life, in order to help others grow. They give up what they want because someone needs it more. They work hard and overcome adversity. They fail for a moment, but get back up on their feet to show others they don’t have to stay down. They show their loved ones that love is not “proved” by conformity. They teach others that having a voice is a sign of courage, and they will not stay silent to make people feel comfortable. They are fearless and will do whatever it takes to bring about the greatness in the ones they love because doing so brings them peace.
Most of these men were of means who had a lot to lose but still persevered to help us get to where we are today as a nation. So today, we will dote on 6 of their characteristic traits that make them the men we so much admire.
Passionate
The passionate man makes himself a lack of being not that there might be being, but in order to be. And he remains at a distance; he is never fulfilled. –Simone de Beauvoir
Ambitious
I’m an ambitious person. I never consider myself in competition with anyone, and I’m not saying that from an arrogant standpoint, it’s just that my journey started so, so long ago, and I’m still on it and I won’t stand still. – Idris Elba
Goal Oriented
Our plans miscarry because they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbor he is making for, no wind is the right wind. – Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Tenacity
Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity.- Louis Pasteur
Creativity
Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions- Albert Einstein
Bold
Be bold, be brave enough to be your true self- Queen Latifah
Freedom is not something that one people can bestow on another as a gift. Thy claim it as their own and none can keep it from them. Kwame Nkrumah
