Don Marquis said: “The successful people are the ones who can think up things for the rest of the world to keep busy at.” To be candid, this was what triggered this write up in me.
Some people are naturally wise, and their words are simply inspiring and empowering.
A few eggheads such as Jim Ovias, Aliko Dangotes, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckebergs, Wright Brothers, Ted Turners and Graham Bells of this world are those who have used their initiative to think up things and have given the world something to be busy at.

Jim Ovia in his magnanimity thought up Zenith Bank. He put action behind it and I think you are a living witness to how many households he has provided employment for, and how many customers are making use of his platform to provide security for their money and to make their financial transactions.
Alhaji Aliko Dangote on his own is a household name both in Nigeria and Africa. Globally, this single individual is known as the richest man in the whole of Africa continent. He thinks up cement for the world to be busy at. He thought up sugar, Spaghetti, Salt, Refinery, etc for the world. It’s just simply impossible to ignore this great man.
Another person that has thought up a thing for the world to be busy at is Bill Gates, the erudite Chairman of Microsoft corporation. A computer software company that produces windows for more than 60 percent of the computers used all around the world. Will you then begin to wonder why this man is so fabulously rich the world discovered that he was the richest man in his time.
Mark Zuckeberg is an erudite guy that the world cannot forget in a hurry. He is the founder and owner of facebook. He remains one of the youngest and richest millionaires ever produced in recent times. He used his initiative to start Facebook, which is a platform that many people use to connect themselves. Can you for a minute consider how many people are making money or creating value through the establishment of Facebook?
These and several others are those who have thought up a thing for the rest of the world to keep busy at. Let me come closer to you. What are you also ready to think up for the rest of the world to keep busy at?
See you at the top.
