The Fall of a Man


When you see a man fall, don't laugh, learn.
Because you are on your way up.

And just as everyone will fall once or twice in his or her lifetime, you can easily fall too. So my brother, my sister, be wise enough to learn from one's mistakes or failures.

Because the very  things that tempt men and women to fall, you and I are not free from that temptation yet. For some of us, it will be a valuable lesson we can come out of by grace,  to teach others. For some, it will  end us unfortunately.
And you are not free from the snares and weaknesses that can unpredictably make you stumble and fall as you rise through the ranks of life.

Or do you think you are any different from any man who has fallen?  Or do you think you are too special or immune to a fall???

No.  I am not. You are not either.
You are susceptible to snares and the entrapments of failure. Oh you man, Oh you woman.
Do not be tempted to think of yourself highly than you ought to. But in humility, acknowledge your mistakes and faults and dust yourself self off the dirt of failure and weaknesses.
And help a fallen brother rise again as you once fell. Hold a sister up a again from the floor which you once fell on. For that is the definition of a true female empowerment.

Because when you do laugh or ridicule the failures of a brother, a sister or even your worst enemy without learning from it, you too open yourself up to the same failure prematurely.

The fall of a man is not the end of his life. The greatness of any man or woman must not be judged by the number of cars or houses he acquires from his sweat but by the number of stumbles and falls he or she endures and overcomes.
And yet still pushes on towards the mark of success.

This life and this world is so full of snares and temptations. Beware!!!!!!

The purpose of Hardwork or Sacrifice

Why do we work so hard or sacrifice so much for something?? What does hardwork or sacrifice mean to us?? What are we expecting to get in return from our hardwork or sacrifice?? Is it all worth it at the end?? We all have come to believe and understand for many years now that it pays to work hard. Many of us have different reasons why we work hard or sacrifice so much. For majority of us, we work hard every day so we can have a lot of money to do or get whatever we wish or desire for. But the real purpose of our hardwork should not be about money but should be focused on value and impact I believe. Think of these great people who have made their mark in the history of our world..... Jesus, Mohammed, Solomon, Mahatma Gandhi, Bill Gates,  Michael Jackson, Steve Jobs, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama among a few. What did all these great men and many more like them have in common? Value and Impact. Not the desire to make money. They had a greater purp...

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. ...

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...
