    Today’s African #proverb: An ant-hill that is destined to become a giant ant-hill will definitely become one, no matter how many times it is destroyed by elephants. Sent by John Cyprian, Lagos, Nigeria. How do you interpret this proverb? https://bbc.in/2yolgdr pic.twitter.com/v9rmGppOgJ

        When there is a goal in focus, no amount of distractions will overcome such goal until it is delivered.

        If you are destined to great, nothing will stop you. Case is point Mandela incarcerated 27 years but still became one of the greatest leader in that country, if not the world.
