JUMP INTO THE ARENA OF SUCCESS
In about a month ago, there was this banner on my way to work that caught my attention. It looked like any other banner that can be found in any part of town and the information it presented to the world was on food, the delicacies of the traditional foods in this part of the globe and the nutritional value that made it unique on the shelves of supermarkets and the roadside. It size was that of a miniature wall and the message was as visible to the ordinary eye.

All pedestrians passed it by on daily basis, my curiosity centred on the taughts and imaginations of its creaters. The pictures were beautifully created to the extent that, you needed little reading to appreciate the message and the efforts of the advertisement. Having been satisfied by what we saw, we went looking for the actual material. On different occasions, our conclusions were different. Perhaps the environment served as an influence as many of the products were more catching than the rest. Whilst some places were endowed with people above average living conditions others were merrily trying to go beyond the poverty line. Perhaps this called for the differences on prices and quantities of the products sold as well.

However we went further to lay emphasis on the quality of the products by taking some few samples to have a feel during breakfast or supper. Mine you this wasn't for research it was merrily to confirm the message we saw on the banner "Jump into the arena of success". So we taught of how, our successes in this life could be influenced or probably enhanced in any way by consumption of this product. We definitely had answers, some pleasing and others meant we had to strategise. Upon serving the first product which was just a mixture of some flour from cereals of various kinds, we couldn't help but step up the level of enthusiasm.

Then came the essence of getting a feel of what we have seen and purchased. Mostly the imagination for a better taste goes before the actual. We mostly judge the authenticity of the product by its appearance. This is mostly likely to be inaccurate as we do not judge a book by its cover but the taste buds doesn't lie and if we are to follow the processes the human body goes through for a sense of taste, it definitely begins from the smell of the final product. In the process of cooking, it doesn't take long before we identify a good cook and probably the desire to taste starts immediately. Naturally too we get disappointed when the expected outcome of the sense of smell doesn't meet that of taste.

In this case we were mesmerised by the results of our curiosity. Then we began to wonder and speculate whether the message on the banner really was in consonance with final outcome of the product. We kept on reading Jumping into the arena of success, when it should actually in my opinion be " the most nutritious diet in the world, eat and you will get the best satisfaction ever ". This looks long but if this was replaced by some of the usually unnecessary pictures we see on banners, the advert would've been one of a kind. Yet it caught our attention and led us into an arena of research and new discoveries.

Probably after some number of days, we will still be thinking and dreaming of the next diet of "gabler in Dagbale" or "kgoglo in Dagaare". We achieved some form of satisfaction but was that really jumping into the arena of success. If the definition of success is anything to go by, we did get a gist of what to eat to meet our daily recommended nutritional intake of protein. This isn't any kind of protein but organic devoid of any form of genetic manipulation and also that which gives the assurance of quick digestion and efficiency in bowel disposal. This is definitely part of the success we seek everyday and when activities such as this are combined, perhaps the whole can be met.
