Striking The Right Chord

Enjoy your own seemingly discordant tune, Admire your own poor music, Be your own cheerleader. This is the only way to have a beautiful life – Femi Adediran, 2020

This is the fact: You will try and You will fail. This is the verdict: Failing does not make you a failure but success in the making. This is the truth: Even when you have failed, you have only become success-ready. This is the crime: You did not try and you think you cannot win. This is the prayer: I will not give in too soon. I will not breakdown at the threshold of my breakthrough – Femi Adediran, 2020.

There is no perfection, only adjusted imperfections. The perfect ones are those who had become adjusted to their own imperfections – Femi Adediran, 2020.

It is one thing to live, it is another to have fun living. If you don’t have fun living, you will miss out on living together. The way to have fun living is to have the courage to hug and embrace yourself in all situations and to know when to commit things to your heart (hold on to them) and when to commit things to the “earth”(let them go) – Femi Adediran, 2020.

Every chord is actually right, you do not just know the song to which you are playing. If you wait to strike the right chord before you play your own song. You  never sing a song – Femi Adediran, 2020


There is no perfection, only adjusted imperfections. The perfect ones are those who had become adjusted to their own imperfections. A boy who has been in school and has failed repeatedly is way ahead of the boy who has never stepped into a school compound. Failure is not to define us but to direct us. Every failure is a pointer to something you need to pay attention to.

Your path  may be rough, your Song  may not be beautiful, your dance steps  be out of line –

you  not have struck the right chord yet. All of these things are momentary and passing phase. Give it time and the summary will be a comprehensive resounding beautiful sound of well-orchestrated chord. Everything about and around us will remain ugly until we see and call them “beautiful”. Others don’t have to see it the way you see it. What is important is that you are seeing something even if it is ugly and the most important thing is to have the courage to see the beauty in your own ugliness. Beauty can only be in the eye of the beholder”.

  • This is the fact: You will try and You will fail
  • This is the verdict : Failing does not make you a failure but a success in the making

  • This is the crime: You did not try and you think you cannot win
  • This is the prayer: I will not give in too soon. I will not breakdown at the threshold of my breakthrough

Mistakes, errors, wrong steps and many more are just the ingredients for our beauty. Don’t just take notes, make notes each time you lose. That is the way to write your own success story. Every chord is actually right, you  not just know the song to which you are playing. If you wait to strike the right chord before you play your own song. You  never sing a song

  • We all want to Sing the best song
  • We all want to Write the best book
  • We all want to make the best impression
  • We all want to strike the right chord

But truth is, every beauty is born by “un-abandoned ugliness”. The best of songs today, the songs that we love to sing, are the songs of those who did not abandon the keyboard even when they stuck the wrong chord.
