Stand Up And Speak Up


If you want to be seen. .... Stand up
If you want to be heard... Speak up
If you want to be appreciated..... Shut up

If you have done incredible things or good things for people, let the people speak of your own achievements or good works other than yourself.  It stays in their memory for life.
Speak about issues that affect you and others. Do not sit down in silence or watch unconcerned and wait till things go wrong before you decide to speak up or act.

Or better still say to yourself....no,  that's not my problem. That's their problem. I can't be any part of that problem. I'm just going to sit and watch or mind my own business. If the problem is that for all the community or family to solve and you sit idle or act unconcerned without helping them out, that problem will come back and haunt you again and again. So speak up and help!

Do not speak evil of others or allow others to talk evil about others to you. Today it may seem fun to do something bad to others. Don't forget, tomorrow it will be your turn to face the same music. 
For that's how the rules of life works, which is, there is no action without consequences.
What you reap today, you shall sow tomorrow.

Do not hold back on helping others, when you have the means to. If you feel that for any other reason, you cannot help or support them, tell them the truth (I can't help you).
Do not give false hope to make them feel or hope you can help them, and disappoint them at the last minute.  It is a dishonourable thing to do.

Stand up and fight for things you believe in.
Things that are very important to you.
Do not sit idle and let others decide for you concerning your own life. Have your own opinion, not the opinion of others.
Do not be a coward to say No sometimes to certain things or some requests.
You will be on your way to living the life that you want.

The Paradox of Our Times

*THE PARADOX OF OUR TIMES* Is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers Wider freeways and roads but smaller viewpoints We spend more, but we have less. We have bigger houses, but smaller families More conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees, but less sense More knowledge, but less judgement More experts, but more problems More medicines, but less healthy lives We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little and hate too often We have learnt how to make a living, but not how to make a life. We have added years to life, but not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back But have trouble crossing the street to meet or greet the new neighbour. We have conquered outer space, but not our inner hearts We've cleaned up the air in our environment  but destroyed our souls. We claim to love all people but quick to show our prejudice We've higher incomes, but lower morals. We'v...

Support Small Business Owner Friends And Family To Grow

To all my self-employed, small business owner friends and family,  this article is dedicated to us!!!! Rihanna releases a lip gloss, people buy it.  Michael Jordan puts out new trainers in stores, people flock to these stores to buy them instantly. Dr. Dre  has new headphones, people buy it. Oprah Winfrey, the richest black woman in the world introduces a new weight loss and diet control program, people jump on board and flow with it. Beyoncé has a new concert, people queue in line to go spend £250 on a ticket just to watch her performance. A friend or family member of ours starts a business, and soon we become weary.  We say things like "Not sure this is going to work"  "This business you are starting is not going to go anywhere, I'll give you only 6 months, it will collapse to the ground"  " this your product is too expensive, you will be out of business in no time if you don't reduce your prices" Those of you, putting out negative comments...

USA And The Western World is Against Polygamy.. Our Ghana Law is Against LGBT Rights. Will They Allow To Set Up a Polygamy Office In Their Country??

On June 26 2015, the US supreme court struck down all state laws banning same - sex marriages and legalised in all the fifty states across America. I remember that day, pretty well watching CNN seeing then host taking the live feed Anderson Cooper in a jubilant mood. Pictures from the supreme court also painted the same picture. Men kissing men passionately, and women kissing women passionately and locking tongues as well. All this outside the US supreme court for the whole country and the whole world to see that the United States of America, the greatest free country on earth is now fully endorsing gay marriage and approving LGBT rights. The gay pride parade was insane, trust me. A few months later, some European Union countries also joined in and legalised it unanimously. I could recall on that evening I called up one of my Brazilian friends, a woman who had always been a strong advocate and a strong supporter of LGBT rights to pick her mind on what had just happened in the US. ...
