No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biographies of great men.
Thomas Carlyle.
He has carved a nitche for himself due to his raw courage and passion for uplifting his followers. Beneath his asthenic figure lies a strength of an Ox. He is not a Stormy petrel that revels in picking up a fight at will,but he has a strongwill to react when provoked . He only draw his angst when push turns to a shove. He doesn’t buckle under pressure.
It is easy to give the recipe of a great political leader,he is one .He is a mindful leader who knows how to make success and also repeat success pattern. He is a great man in every sense who in the words of Mahattama Ghandi ” embodies a change , that he wants to see in the world”. He doesn’t “wait for Godot” to quote Samuel Beckett .
He is a good listener and a quiet fire that burns slowly. His success story is what Thomas Edison calls a combination of “inspiration and perspiration” .
He is indeed a great man because he is good at heart. His teeming followers would gladly attest to this. He Mills round them when the spirit is low and he stands by them until he puts them in high spirits.
When it’s time to pray , he suspends every other things till afterj prayer. He is a staunch believer who always pray not to be a prey.
Great leaders arise when the need for them is great. And he has carved out a precinct for himself as all time leader with a heart clean as a whistle.
This great man is plus one today, I felicitate him on this great occasion and I wish him more years on earth to continue brandishing his heart of gold and render more praises unto the Lord.
Happy birthday Sir.
