I ventured into this Inspiring address to the US Citizens in allvoives.com and thought it right to share with my wonderful people. Read the valid motivational below; It has been the strength behind the Successes of United State and a must read for Nigeria. Here is the advice below;

"As an American citizen you have certain rights, and they begin with the liberty to pursue a life of happiness. It’s written into the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, which also states that you have other inalienable rights, although it doesn’t list them up front.
One of those rights isn’t defined in any of the founding documents; possibly because nobody thought it was necessary. You have the right to think any stupid thing you choose, and to do almost any stupid thing you want. You might suffer some consequence or pay a high price, but that doesn’t stop even smart people from invoking their right to be stupid about one thing or another.
It helps to always remember that just because you can do a thing doesn’t mean that you should. You have the right to waive your rights, or to ignore any violation of your rights – and Americans have a long tradition of doing just that, often at the wrong time and for the wrong reasons.
You have the right to purchase a worthless insurance policy if you choose. Insurance companies also have the right to sell deceptively one-sided policies that rake in premiums while delaying and denying benefits, all under that ancient axiom of business – let the buyer beware.
But you don’t have to exercise that right, and neither do the insurance companies. Remember, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
You have the right to avoid contact with other human beings whose skin tone is noticeably different from your own. It’s your right to think of someone as inferior because of their ancestry or birthplace. It’s your right to assume someone’s private thoughts and private behavior are reprehensible even when you don’t know them well enough have a clue.
But you don’t have to publicly exhibit those rights. Again, just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Racist and demeaning behavior returns bearing a label, marked with a price – and you’ll pay full price even if you don’t realize it.
