THE TRUE JACKIE CHAN STORY.

Not every celebrities are born with talents or even money. Even most celebrities are born with nothing when they were still young. They live in a normal life back when they were kids and managed to be a super star when they grew older. And why is that? How did they do it? Because they all have their dreams and they work hard for it. One of the inspiring celebrities who work a very hard way to get himself on top is Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan’s parents could not afford to take care of him when he was a baby. They considered of selling him for US $26 to the english obstetrician who delivered him. At the age of 7, Jackie was apprenticed at the infamous Academy of Chinese Opera. For more than 10 years from 5am till midnight, 7 days a week, he endured a brutal program of music, dance and traditional martial arts training.

The training was particularly harsh and cruel. The students was beaten and starved for not performing. Later he appeared in an early Hong Kong films as a stunt man and worked his way up to stunt coordinator, then to director. When Bruce Lee died, Jackie, along with many others were picked to filled of being the bruce lee of their generation. Jackie failed miserably.

It was very hard for him and instead of trying to be Bruce Lee, he decided to be himself. Jackie was born to be “steve” who was later changed to Jack Chan. Later, Raymond chow, a director changed it to “Jackie Chan”. His first break came in 197 with the movie “Snake In Eagles shadow”. Today, jackie is hong kongs biggest movie star and is currently making big in US too. Jackie’s fees are up to US$50 million a year.

If you have a goal in your life, no matter what it is, even if it is impossible. If you work hard for it and create your own name, then you will be successful someday.

Don’t give up your dreams, if it doesn’t work out for you, then its up for you to decide what you really want to be. Make a choice and make it possible.
There is no such thing as impossible if you work hard for it, all it takes is your hopes and faith to make it come true.

SEE HOW THEY MARKED THEIR BIRTHDAY IN A GRAND STYLE.

Last week Saturday 14th March to be precise. My friend Olabode Williams Afolabi marked his birthday in a grand style. By grand style I don't mean lots of wines to drink, partying or paparazzi.
We started off the day by 10a.m by going to one of the Medical Centers in a satellite town close to Abuja where he ministered Christ to an HIV AIDS patient who have been abandoned with the son in the hospital there and afterwards he paid a part of their Hospital bill and left them with something to keep her going. He also went back the following Monday to do same to another patient.
We left the hospital for Karu Home for the less privileged where we celebrated with the kids in the home showering them with all manner of gifts ranging from food stuffs to toiletries and even a football. We sang melodiously with them then one of the young boys in the home prayed for him prophetically.
Later that same day I saw on the Facebook page of another wonderful sister Bisola or "Sister B" as we usually call her, she did same in company of other friends. Marked her Birthday with kids in an orphanage showering them with lots of gifts.
What a way to mark ones birthday. Reaching out and touching the lives of the less privileged.
I pray for this two of a kind, May celebrations never seize in your lives in Jesus name.
