ORIGINALITY(The book) Preface Here I was with streams of thoughts running through my mind as I wandered unconsciously through the depth of my doubts and fears for the future. It was a continuation of my worries that kept me up through the evening the previous day till I was finally stolen from them by the clutches of sleep and the cool breeze of the fading day but it seemed like it was only a break as the same worries awaited my uprising this early hour as I prepared to go out and wash my dads toyota by 5am. Here I was, 14 years old but already burdened with the thoughts of a man as I tried to answer the question of my existence. At this age, I had discovered my love for poetry and was a champion in mathematics. I was very keen at art and had our living room filled with the product of my drawing and paintings too good to have been done by a 14 year old boy in so much that every visitor offered me an handshake. One called me a little genius and he made my day as I smiled through that evening thinking of Albert Eisteen. One would have thought that these would bring joy my way but it didnt. It was an introduction of multiple questions flooding my young mind as I kept asking: Who am I? One part of my heart wanted to become a mathematics professor, another wanted to be a renowned poet, another wanted to be an artist, my family thought I would be a good architect while I fantasised being a civil engineer. These thoughts took sleep out of the life of a 14 year old boy because I was at a cross road of decisions but there was no one to guide me. I feared becoming what I am not yet I couldnt tell what I was. Looking back today to those years, I can still feel the desperation of my soul for answers and how I motioned aimlessly through series of thoughts as they came to a point that I could have been nicknamed Mr dream chameleon because I seemed to want to be everything but today, I understand better that no man can be everything. We are all gifted in our own ways but we need to discover these ways and stick to them. To me, those thoughts were the beginning of my journey of self discovery. It was the beginning of the discovery of my originality and today I am Onome B. Okovwurie because I discovered my gifts and built my life around it. Today, I dont struggle to do what I do because I am in my ORIGINALITY. This book will help you discover and build your originality.
