Ghanaian rapper Edem has won the heart of many people who think an interview he recently had with blogger Sammy Kay is loaded with wisdom.
When asked in the interview if he was rich, the VRMG boss said that he has made a lot of progress in his life because some years ago, he did not have what he has now.
According to him, one does not need to measure their successes with what others have achieved but by what they had in the past.
“Yes, I’ve made money, because I came from nothing. You see, I see things differently. I used to live in a single room with no roofing sheet and mattress on the floor. So, once I no longer live there, I’ve made money,” he said.
He added that instead of people putting pressure on themselves when they see others progress, they should rather give thanks to God for his’ little’ mercies.
“People talk about making money by comparing themselves with who they see making money. But you see, being okay is about the small changes that are happening in your life over time. So, when a truck pusher who was carrying coconut on the truck moves to a container kiosk, it means he has made money. Because he is making progress.”
“So, people shouldn’t stress themselves. Once you are making progress, you are good, and the next man’s progress doesn’t matter. The feeling the person who buys Benz gets is the same feeling a teacher who buys Picanto gets. Stop giving yourself pressure,” he further stated.
He however noted that it is good to have own a mansion but “don’t use the mansion to make someone feel less. because we have seen mansions that aren’t mansions anymore.”
