Deputy Managing Director of Ghana Airport Company Limited, Hon. Obuobia Darko-Opoku, has shared an inspiring message on her Facebook page, reminding us that no one rises alone. We’re shaped by unseen kindness, hands that held us, voices that whispered courage, and hearts that gave without expectation. Kindness isn’t just an act; it’s an investment that demands sacred gratitude.
Yet, some forget. They rewrite their story, erasing the hands that steadied them, the backs they climbed, and the names that vouched for them. They flaunt the fruit while hiding the roots. This reveals a painful truth: some people didn’t want help; they wanted a shortcut. They saw others as bridges, not blessings.
Don’t let the world harden you. Be the one who remembers, who circles back, and who honors those who held you. Not because they asked, but because your soul demands it. One good turn deserves another, not out of guilt or duty, but out of greatness and depth.
Real strength lies not in how high you climb, but in how deeply you’re rooted. When your time comes to lift, give, and open doors, do it with grace, knowing what it means to be carried. Do it not for applause, but for alignment; not for recognition, but for righteousness.
Legacy isn’t what you build for yourself; it’s what you build into others. And those who remember will always rise twice – in achievement and in heart.
