Quote by Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“Most people mix greatness and fame with ease, like drunks who mix vodka and whiskey. Greatness and fame are not the same. Many are famous but not great. And many are great without being famous. Fame is man-made. Greatness is a gift. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu”

If you watch the people who have succeeded in the world, who have all the money, power and success in the world, they are not happy. Happiness has nothing to do with success. Happiness has nothing to do with ambition. Happiness has nothing to do with money, power and prestige. Nothing fails like success. Happiness is a totally different dimension. Happiness has to do with your being, with your consciousness not with ambition and success.”

“It’s because I have certain standards for the connotations that my name rings and the legacy that I leave behind,” I responded. “When people hear my name, I want them to recognize it for the reasons that I want. I want to be recognized for my intellect, my intellectual discoveries, my writing, my contributions to equality, and other such things. I don’t just want to be recognized for being a converter; I want to be recognized for being who I truly am.” “You want to be famous?” “I would have to be in order for my legacy to be known… but I want to be famous for intellectual change, philosophical contributions, my writing, and my support of equality. I don’t just want to be famous for converting! My life could amount to more than just conversion!”
