Final Evaluation

The philosopher, Socrates said; "An unexamined life is not worth living" I have thought deep and hard about this stage and came up with a few observations, in the form of questions.

Here it goes...

Do you have someone who is evaluating (checking your life and the things you do) that you are going the right direction or on the right path?

I may not whether your answer to my question may be a yes or a no. But the most important thing to ask yourself is do you have people like that in your life.

But do you feel too big to be under someone's instructions or supervision??

Greatness and aiming for success comes with much learning patience and your willingness to learn and adapt to new things and new changes.

How do you intend to succeed in life if you hate correction and instructions?

As at this time of writing this article, a good friend and one of my mentors in the online, English teaching profession, Kenny, a professional American English teacher based in Colombia just sent me a tall lists of certified assignments for professional and content lessons for  English teachers to study, and write my course outline for 2021 for my students even though we haven't even ended 2020 yet.
Tough job to do you will think, right?? But I know he is doing that for my own good because he wants to give my best as a teacher to my students always. So I humble myself for him to go hard on me and evaluate me thoroughly without any favours.

Pedro Moquiba, my business partner and friend is towing the same evaluation line on me as Kenny is. Charles Nunes, Henrietta Adjettey, Olufisayo Olajide (my coursemate from College)  Fred Walker, my childhood friend and brother all asking me plenty questions about how far I have gone with my daily writings, telling me what I should improve and develop here, the ones I should cancel out or delete from the articles.

Haha,  sometimes I feel like zipping their mouths with duck tapes and glue so they will stop talking talking and leave me alone. After all it's not their life or their life choices but mine.
And my alone. Why these corrections and guidance?
The response is simple because they all want the best for me in every area of my life.
They are not doing this out of malice or with any bad intentions. But with a great pleasure to help me the best I can be.
And because they have done and gone where I am heading now in my life, they guide me everyday with their rich experience and knowledge.
What about you my dear brother, my dear sister?? Or do you feel you know everything already in this life so nobody can tell you anything. Maybe you feel you are sitting on top of the world so you don't need correction, advice or caution from anyone. That dark moment will come one day where you will remember reading this article some years ago, if you never evaluated or took stop of your life with the hard truth, it may be too late for you to turn things around in the dark moment. The time to be humble and open minded to learn from life is now and not later.
I have even a list of others who evaluate my speeches and audio recordings I attach to these articles everyday.
There's so much I want to say but I will conclude here.

But I will say this; choose your friends wisely, choose your wife or husband wisely, choose and examine well the choices you make in your life today and in the future with maturity and understanding.

Remember, God even resist the proud and exhalts the humble.

A word to today's generation

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...

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. ...

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...
