Veteran Ghanaian actor Fred Amugi has advised individuals to resist the urge to flaunt their accomplishments online.
According to him, such acts are a sign of ‘over-ambition’ that could lead one to forget their intended purpose.
As reported by graphic.com.gh, Amugi shared that one should instead be grateful to God for their success rather than brag on social media.
“I want to tell people that no matter how successful you become, stay humble and grateful. Don't boast about your achievements on social media; it's a sign of over-ambition.
“Instead, thank God for your success and ask for continued guidance. Remember, your accomplishments are not just your own doing, but also the result of help from others and God's blessings.
“I've seen many people fall from grace because they forgot why they were successful in the first place. So, always stay humble and grateful,” he said.
Using himself as an example, Fred Amugi stated that it would be best to be remembered for one’s skills, adding that humility and gratitude are the keys to happiness.
“As for me, I want to be remembered as someone who lived a good life and made the most of the talent God gave me - acting. If you understand what I'm saying, you'll know that true happiness comes from living a humble and grateful life,” he said.
