He said, “what is the essence of life? What do you want people to remember you for when you are no more?
I feel the true essence of life is you living freely and doing what makes you happy because in the end of the day, you’re going into another world.
You have to live a life where people would be remembered you, not for money you make or your fortune.
You must actually love helping other people, so you can helping others that are truly needed, are also what I can call a part of essence of life.
The essence of life is about knowing your purpose and living everyday as if it is your lady on earth.
We’re given one life and we should spend it on a purposeful way. On a way where we can be happy and making the people we love to happy too.
It does not matter how long or short the life is, but how we live our lives that really matters.
So the true essence of life deals with how you handle the happiness and sadness of your life because that’s what made up life.
Stop lingering over the past, focus on the present, worry less about the future, present matters most”, he said.
Alhaji Hamzah described late Busari as a man of many parts, with a lot of traits that one person cannot exhaust.
It is difficult to say everything about him. His is an epitome of complexity, and anywhere you find him, you will see the traits of simplicity in him.
