DARE TO DREAM BIG – ADUMADEYIN TELLS LAGOS YOUTHS

A bonafide Lagosian, Mr. Kayode Adumadeyin has urged Lagos youths to dare to dream big and envision a future that is far beyond their wildest imagination. He gave this advice while receiving the representatives of selected Lagos Island youths he has mentored right from teenage, when they paid him a courtesy visit.

Citing a quote by Roy T. Bennet, the author of The Light in the Heart, he implored the youths not to be pushed around by the fears in their mind, but rather be led by the dreams in their heart, stressing that they can achieve greatness, make a difference, or be change-makers of global impact, bequeathing a lasting legacy to the world.

While postulating that youths in their twenties and thirties around the world are the generation that will shape the future, innovate and create new ideas to solve the world’s most pressing problems of today; Adumadeyin tasked the youths to believe in themselves, see beyond the present moment, imagine themselves in leadership positions and take pragmatic steps towards achieving their goals. “Rather ask yourself, why not me, and not, why me”, he added.

He cautioned the youths not to let anyone tell them their dreams are too big, too crazy, or unrealistic because success is at the other side of fear, so dreams are possible, aspirations are within reach and they have the power to make them happen; even as he admonished that; things can be difficult at times and journey through life can be an uphill task, but determination, focus and perseverance would see them through.

Kayode Adumadeyin, a marketing professional and accomplished civil servant is the director of marketing at Radio Lagos-Eko FM. Professional bodies he belongs to include, Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria, ARCON and Nigeria Institute of Public Relations, NIPR.
