They say your health is your wealth How well do you prioritise your own health?? Is good health and wellness a top priority in your life or it's just an after thought? On 27th January of this year, around 8:30 pm in the evening, I had just finished teaching my last student, Caio, a Brazilian footballer learning English with me. When suddenly I felt a sharp pain on one side of my head.   It was so intense and felt like somebody was hitting one side of my head with a harmer.     Well, silly me, I thought I was indestructible as I have always been thinking (nothing can  do me except God kills me haha) slept it off as soon as the pain subsided.   The next morning I woke up to terrible dry cough and sharp back pain all over my back actually. I will not be able to lay comfortably on back until I got on the Ambulance. (We'll get to that part soon.   My father who is always the first to knock and enter my room every morning to check up on me, came to me that morning looking ve

There is a difference between being liked and being valued. A lot of people like you But not many value you. Be valued. Anonymous I'm about to drop a bomb on today. Do you want to know what it is. Alright bring your ears closer and let me tell you this one important secret. People don't like you. I repeat, I said people don't like you. People like the things you can give to them.  Ahhhh Kwame, what are you trying to saying...??? What I'm trying to say to you my dear reader is very simple, and it's that people don't like that much as you think or imagine. They like you for the things you can give them or how useful you are to them. That thing you can give them is what we call value. We struggle so much to catch the attention of so many people on social media with some "toys"  (fast cars, big mansions...etc) we have acquired so that people's attention will be drawn unto us or will be drawn to our page. We hit 4k likes on Facebook and Instag

How do you see/view failure as a person in your life? Do you count failure/failing as a bad omen for endless counts of disaster or you view failure as a blessing in disguise?? The founder of Panasonic, Konosuke Matsushita had a very interesting taste of failure early on his life as an apprentice in an electronic shop in Tokyo. The shop where he worked produced mechanical electric bulbs for sale. In those times, I'm guessing the 1800s you will have to whine up something under the bulbs for it to light up or produce light. But this young apprentice after several tries found an ingenious way for the light to light itself in the bulb without any human help. Beaming with excitement, he showed the invention to his boss and pleaded with them to try it on all the next production of bulbs. But his boss didn't listen to him. He continued begging and pleading with him, but to his suprise, he was fired from the job for being irritating and annoying. With the  little money that he h

What are some of the words said to you that have hurt you so much? Do those hurtful or negative words  still have an effect on your today? If not, how were you able to forget them and overcome its power on you? Growing up as a little boy right through to my teenage years, I faced a lot of discrimination from strangers and quite strangely, people who I considered as friends. I have gladly overpowered that stigma. But one negative thing I cannot shake easily is this mocking phrase; Class, look, Kwame Sarpong is writing his own formulas. You must be guessing what kind of formulas was I writing. It was during a time in my Primary School Maths Class, that my maths teacher said those words to me Infront of the whole class. Everybody in the class laughed at me hard as well to crown my shame. These words deformed me mentally for years in my life until the intervention of my statistics lecturer at the university started taking keen interest in my studies. He wanted to understand why I co

The habit of obsessing over the idea of having a perfect life where you compress yourself into a focused point, means that you will suffer from tunnel-vision. Tunnel-vision means that you will miss much of life. The perfect life is always around the corner, but the decent life is right here already if you can stop for long enough to see it. Life can be described in just three words: Up and Down.  And that's how God created it. We humans mistakenly expect life to be consistently Up. It does not work like that in the scheme of things. Life, along with all the natural human processes are cyclical (in the habit of repeating itself) For instance your  personal energy  throughout life works cyclically no matter how balanced or imbalanced any lifestyle is. Live a Life Without Judgements We judge the life we are living because we want to know the answer before we understand the challenge. We judge our own lives harshly and unfairly when we compare our lives to those we think have
