*GREAT LESSON FOR A READY MIND*
Late Stella Obasanjo, the wife of the former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo attended a programme close to where she obtained her Secondary School education.
After the programme, while stepping out of the venue, she heard somebody shouting, "Aunty Star! Aunty Star!! Aunty Star!!!
This was the name her juniors in school used to call her while she was in her Secondary School.
She turned around and saw the woman calling her and ordered her escorts to allow her pass through.
The woman informed her that she was one of her juniors while they were in school.
Her Excellency was so pleased to meet her. The woman took the opportunity to plead with Mrs. Stella to assist her, as she was a widow and was suffering with her children.
Her Excellency, being a very compassionate woman asked her to name what she wanted her to do for her. The lady replied her by saying "Anything".
This question was put to her again and she repeated the same answer. So Her Excellency instructed one of her escorts to give the woman the sum of fifty thousand naira (N50, 000.), she then gave the lady her private phone number and asked her to call her in two weeks time, that she was about to travel out of the country, and that by the time she returns, she should have thought out exactly what she wants her to do for her.
The woman went home rejoicing and even testified in church.
However, before the two weeks elapsed, Chief Mrs. Stella Obasanjo died abroad in Spain while undergoing a surgery.
LESSONS!
-Always know what you want in life, and don't settle for anything less.
-Success occurs when preparation meets opportunity.
-Opportunity is a visitor, when it visits you, try to maximize it as it may never come visiting again.
