I WANNA REACH FOR THE SUN. YOU SHOULD TOO


Are you as ambitious as I am?... With all that is going on in the world and in my dear country, I strongly want to be part of the equation that'll solve most of our problems. And for that to happen, I profoundly believe I need to be the greatest human being I can possibly be because the world doesn't need another cliché of a leader; the world needs a hero. I wanna be he. Well, if you aren't that ambitious, read on and who knows? - you might get inspired to aspire to reach for the sun like me:

I want to be timeless like 'Time' by Hans Zimmer. I want to be as inspirational as 'Pick Up' by Adekunle Gold. I want to be deeper than the ocean, or rather, deeper than Adele. Just like Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, I want to be the only one making sense in the midst of so many wannabes. I want to be a living legend, yet so simple and humble like 2face Idibia. I want to be as precious as the ring was to Gollum. I want to be the one to show the Harry Potter series that another level of epic actually does exist. I want to be so versatile, even Johnny Depp would marvel and plunge into taking notes. I want to be the first and only commander in the world that Leonidas dreads. I want a thunderous million dollar voice like that of James Earl Jones (Darth Vader), so that even a Spartan army would tremble at my command. I want to impress the future me, so when I'm older I can reminisce and say, "Dang! Did I do that?" - not in Steve Urkel's voice though. I want Socrates, Aristotle, and Machiavelli to hopelessly crave my opinion whenever they face a conundrum. I want Shakespeare to hide his work from me for fear that I may not be impressed. I want to be so sophisticated, a front row seat is always reserved for me at the La Scala opera house in Milan, Italy. I want to be such a powerful brand I could use the headquarters of both Apple and Coca-Cola as my personal loos in Cupertino, and Atlanta, respectively. I wish I were a genius, but not the cynical, narcissistic, and pedantic kind like Sheldon Cooper - still a Sheldon fan though. I don't want to be as predictable as Nollywood movies; I'd rather be so mysterious I puzzle enigma. I don't want to be so vain that even vanity calls me vanity; instead, I want to possess the kind of modesty that will prompt monks to study and use me as their benchmark. Waiter, please don't serve me those distasteful "I woke up in a new Bugatti" dreams; I'd prefer the classy kind Martin Luther normally has. I desperately want to tell Chinua Achebe that things have finally fallen back together, and I was one of those who effected the positive change. I want to be the kind of change that will heal the world the way Michael Jackson envisioned, and not the kind of change associated with APC - go figure! I don't want to be like my leaders, they're so corrupt; I want to be the Avast that will wipe them off the system. I want corruption and evil to fear me, so much so they frantically whisper, "Winter is coming" on receiving word of my arrival. I want to be the leader Optimus Prime looks up to for guidance. I never want to be as conceited as Mayweather, though I want my name to be hotter than May's weather at daytime. I want to define hard work and passion better than Cristiano Ronaldo does. I want to be a natural maestro at whatever I do in life like Lionel Messi is. I want to be the one to prove to Novak Djokovic that he could certainly do better at being a consistent number one seed. I want to think differently from the world and point out its ignorance like, "Hey! There are only seven shades of grey, people! Not fifty!" haha just kidding, I don't even know or care how many shades the damn colour has - uh! sounds like I'm the ignorant one here hahaha... Ultimately, I wish I was there when God called David the man after His own heart; I would have pouted, and God would have said, "Awww... Okay-okay Godfrey, you too. The pair of you are the men after my own heart." I wish for this above all else because for God to say that about me, it definitely means there are a lot of things I must be doing right.

In summary, I want to be the perfect example, the best, the head, the leader... Yes, the hero. And since my name is Ali, I guess I'm not far from being the greatest. BOOM!!!

Additionally, I want to be as dignified, noble, honorable, modest, and bright as the Kardashians... Oops! What?! Error! Scratch that! I think my phone has caught a virus or something. Dang!!!... Avaaaaaaaast...!!!
