Martial Bissog describes Samuel Eto’o as a man with palpable serenity. In a post on his Facebook page this morning, Martial Bissog recounts his memorable meeting with Samuel Eto’o in Kribi. That day, while they were exchanging ideas over coffee, Samuel Eto’o shared fascinating reflections on his journey with Martial Bissog. Between personal anecdotes and life lessons, the former star of FC Barcelona and Inter Milan revealed how, at the age of 17, he envisioned and built his sumptuous residence in Kribi, overlooking the ocean in the seaside town. The words of the iconic footballer resonated deeply in Martial Bissog’s mind. This Sunday, the former Canal 2 journalist decided to unveil the confidences of a champion on the construction of his success story:
Samuel Eto’o: No success is spontaneous!
My dear brother Samuel Eto’o once invited me for Sunday lunch at his sumptuous beachfront residence in Kribi. I found a relaxed and completely serene man, with refined elegance.
During our conversation, this genius revealed two life secrets that can change your life too:
1/ He has a habit of isolating himself from the world and external noise whenever he wants to start a new action. Alone with himself, he visualizes and invents the perfect scenario, which materializes perfectly during implementation (he lives his life as if he has already seen his life).
2/ The power of determination. Geniuses are already born, the die is already cast (he is a formidable player of Ludo and chess). Because there are no contrary winds for those who know where they are going…
When we found ourselves on the 4th floor of his lair, with this breathtaking view of the Atlantic Ocean, Facing the Dome of the Chariot of the Gods (yes, Kribi faces Limbe-Buea),
I allowed myself to compliment him on the refined, if not sumptuous, style of the estate. In a completely relaxed manner, with a corner smile, he subtly replied: No Mbombo, you too. I built this residence when I was 17, the fruit of my first contract…
So your perspective should lead you to understand that we already have a life plan before even having a life…
This is called: the sense of success, the sense of purpose, the strength of conviction, because there is no negative destiny, especially for those who know how to sense things…!
