When Nursery Rhymes Grew Up: HUMPTY DUMPTY

<h1>Humpty Dumpty</h1> Humpty wasn’t always “Humpty Dumpty.” Once upon a time, he was simply Humphrey Damilola Thompson — a brilliant young man who rose too fast in a city where people barely survive, not to talk of succeed. He was smart. Strategic. Unbreakable… or so he thought. In less than six years, Humphrey had gone from sharing a one-room apartment with three other hustlers to sitting on the board of a fast-growing tech logistics company. Interviews here. Awards there. Soft life everywhere. People said he was an inspiration. Humphrey preferred another word: self-made. And because he believed he was self-made, he slowly became self-contained. He stopped listening.Stopped asking questions.Stopped keeping people around who could challenge him. He built his own wall. A very high one. The higher he climbed, the smaller everyone else looked. Old friends became “noise.” Warnings became “jealousy.” Advice became “disrespect.” Humpty Dumpty had found his wall… and he loved the view. Until the contracts became careless.The decisions became rushed.The shortcuts became normal. It only took one audit. One email. One meeting he walked into smiling… and walked out of empty. Investors pulled out.Partners denied knowing him.Headlines changed tone. The same internet that once celebrated him now studied his downfall like entertainment. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. He tried everything. Apologies.PR teams.Rebrands.Motivational quotes.Public tears.Private begging. But some falls don’t break your image. They break you. No amount of money could buy back his credibility.No amount of connections could rebuild his confidence.No amount of noise could silence the shame. All the king’s horses were influence.All the king’s men were lawyers, media teams, and old “friends.” And yet… They couldn’t put Humpty together again. Because the real damage was not to his business. It was to his character. ---<h3>TwoCents Reflection</h3><blockquote>Some people don’t fall because they are attacked. They fall because they climbed beyond accountability. Walls are dangerous places to build your identity. They are high enough to impress people… and high enough to destroy you. Success without humility is just a longer route to a louder crash.</blockquote>
