Gi- Ant Part 1

The greatest mistake
Is to listen
To those who say
You cannot

• You sure know that Halloween-like face that makes you fidget. Yes I mean the giant that makes you seem inadequate, and left with no other option than turning back on your dreams. I am talking about the thought that makes your hair stand on edge, the very thing that is bent on making life difficult for you.

If you care to know, that giant of yours is a GI-ANT. Yes, a kind of ant. There are so many kinds of ants out there. Your giant is nothing but one of such.

Listen to what I have to tell you about ants, and this specie called GI-ANT in particular.

First, ants are minute creatures. You could so easily trample upon them, without you being aware of it. They are very fragile creatures. Your GI-ANT is what you can tread over! I hope you got that. I hear you say how? Just stamp your feet over it. That is all. Or better still, pick it up and kill it in your hands, the way you would kill an ant. Those biceps and seemingly frightening muscles that your giant has are not real, they are deception! If you look deeply, I mean if you observe that giant closely, you will find out your giant is an ant living in a grand exterior. GI ANT is Grand Interior And Nothing Tough. That is it. Of course, you can provide your own fashion of the acrostics in the comment box. But make sure you understand that the thing you fear is no match for your abilities.

When I conceived the idea of writing this article, I had something in mind. I was seeking for the connection between the words “ant” and “giant”. I had an hypothesis, or a lemma, as a mathematician would say: A Giant is a GI-ANT, a kind of ant. How true is that? I never knew. I looked up the etymology of the two words, and my discovery was not enough proof to provide the link I so much desire. Maybe I should drop the idea of a proof. Ultimately proving nothing is the highest form of proof. Therein lies my solace. You can provide one if you have, anyway.

I shall provide deeper insights in subsequent post.

There is so much we can achieve
If only we try
There is no such thing we won’t achieve
If only we believe
