Adding Value: Focus on Things that Matter by Henry Ukazu thebossnewspapers.com/2025/1… I recently read a book titled “Making It Big” by Mr. @realFemiOtedola, a philanthropist. He stated how he attends nightclubs every Friday to celebrate the success of his business. He used the social activity to wind down his hard work from Monday to Friday. It’s instructive to note that Mr. Femi Otedola also stated in his book he was taunted by his friends each time he attends night parties if he brought his diesel to sell, he cared less because according to him he has a family to feed, school fees to pay and shelter to provide for his family. So, he’s not bothered by what people will say because he has to do what he has to do to take care of his bills. Now, that tells you, here’s a man who is focused on what is important. While some people may see him at the club when he became financially stable and independent, they won’t understand nor know the level of sacrifice he has made for his business to get to where it is, neither are they aware of the level of focused he has put into his work to get to where he is. This goes to say that in the journey of life, one must know himself and know what works for him. It’s always safer to be yourself.
