How do you see People

Image
How do you see people? How you see people matters a lot because how you see people would invariable determine how they see you. Do you see People as those individuals you owe a duty to say hi every morning or do you see them as individuals with whom you are engaged in a flourishing relationship. If you see people as people you just greet and pass, you might end up in their eyes as that individual who normally pass here and greet us or that individual who lives in our neighbourhood. There is no passion, feeling or connection towards you. Everything is casual they regard you casual too.  You do not get to 'know“ them even after many years of knowing them. They too know you but from other people's perspectives. Your realities are wide apart, understanding is shrouded. You do not get to know them and they do not get to know you so you remain strangers to each other. Their passions, enthusiasm, principles, ideas,  expectations, values, history and personal experiences are alie...

Ask the question

Image
So what? Did he put the knife on your throat? Some people sit around for donkey years because they couldn't get past through a barrier that got them stuck. The fear of failure is a giant that confronts everybody especially at the turn of the age. Oh! I should have learned these when I was a little younger, when I was a little naive, when people will excuse me and say “but he is only a child,  he is only a student“ now wont they laugh at me? Won't they ask, “where have you been? bla bla bla.  Cut the crap, ask that question! Every body is at various ends of the thread and none knows it all.  All face the same challenge everyday and its so common to everyone. To  stop yourself because of the other person is to willfully harm yourself.  Failure is not an end, it is part of the sucesss and successful stories are not compete wthout a chapter of failures.  Don't limit yourself by refusing to ask the question. Those who laugh at you today will laugh with you ...

The Hard Work and The Smart Work

Image
Sometimes it is not really what we do that counts; it is how we do them. The wisdom that goes into it. Same task but how we do them marks off whether what we did is hard work or smart work. The question to ask is, are my actions focused on my objective.  Without a clear understanding of the purpose, a mission will be derailed, abused and frustrated.  Hard work is like doing the knowledge you have, smart work is using the wisdom you have.  The two can never get the same result. For example pushing the caterpillar is hard work but using a crane is smart work. Doing the work by your self is hard work but doing it through someone else is smart work.  Doing all the work is hard work but doing only important, relevant and necessary ones is smart work. Hard work steals your time, drains your energy and gets you little accomplished. Smart work saves you time, energy, gives you speed, sets you at an advantage, gives you an edge over your companions and attracts you favour...

Mine your scripture

Image
The Scriptures are the breath of God. By breath we mean the inspiration or if you like the motivation infused by God on the people who took part in a an event that has spiritual or eternal significant. God moved them to put down their personal and collective experiences in a documented  or oral format what the authors are direct participants or saw in a dream or revelation or to put down their own understanding which in many respects correlate with accuracy and excellence. In the Christian Bible, the scriptures are the old testament which contains the history, the laws and the prophets. The new testament are not the scriptures, they are the explanations or revelation of the scriptures. In the muslim religion, the Qur'an is the scripture while the hadith is the explanations  of the Qur'an. In the traditional religion, the scriptures are contained in the words and messages from the gods passed down from  one generation to the next. All major religion of the world has...

How do you use your time

Image
This generation is busier than any other generation in the last ten hundred years. How do you use your time. Being too busy does not equate to being productive. Are you being productive? Or are you just stuffed with all kinds of stuff that milk you or drains you or sap you. This morning, how have you spent your time. The way you started your day will show in the way you end it. Handling your time carelessly is a mistake because you can't always have it. This second is gone, so is this minute, this hour and this day. Yesterday is gone forever and so on. Even if you have another opportunity, that does not mean that time is back. This morning you ought to have prayed, planned, done your morning routine and left for your duty. In your youth what have you done about your future. Have you sat down so that time will fly or are you spending your time preparing for the future. That book you need to read to shade light into your path, have you read them? That training you need to get, thos...
