​MORNING ENERGIZER FROM HON. BABAJIMI ADEGOKE BENSON

What happens first always appears better and more original than what comes after. If you succeed a great man or have a famous parent, you will have to accomplish double their achievements to outshine them. Do not get lost in their shadow, or stuck in a past not of your own making.
