The role model is different from the mentor.

One of my biggest role models is Pascal Dozie. He changed my life just by having a habit which I copied. He was at morning Mass at CAF Ikoyi 6 am every single weekday fully dressed for work. I decided to try be as disciplined.

The period I did that was the time I achieved the most in my life. It was how I restarted business after failure and decided to become fully independent from family. Simple habits are powerful. I realized that by doing this, I had more free time later in the day to play.

I also played hard. I had another role model for playing hard. The late Henry Abebe.

I was Pascal in the morning and ”Ahe” in the evening.

Life was good until I left for the UK.

You see that morning cold in November at Sheffield, it will kill your motivation to do Mass daily https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">

I still try to keep the habit in May and October. Marian devotion months.

Daily Rosary is also another exercise in learning patience.

Religion is an art. The art of conquering the world by conquering yourself.
