Be a Generational Thinker

One of the greatest books I have ever read is Long Walk To Freedom by Nelson Mandela. In his book he talks about the importance of leadership through sacrifice and having a sense of responsibility to develop others as much as yourself.
He is seen as an icon, a leader and a symbol of peace and inspiration, not just to his dear nation of South Africa but to the whole world.
But let's ask ourselves here, what really made  Nelson Mandela such a celebrated person around the world???  Sacrifice !!!!
His selfless sacrifice and desire to see white and black south Africans live in harmony together in the era of Apartheid took him to prison for 27 years. Even after his release from prison in 1990, he worked together with his haters and political opponents in the spirit of unity so that a nation which was once  divided and segregated white, black people, rich and poor people, educated and uneducated can live together as one people for the sake of his generation and generations yet to come.

He didn't just sit there and wished this could happen. He taught all the people in a practical way how to live together as one.

You are a woman, you break our ears everyday with woman empowerment slogans speaking big English. Yet you haven't mentored the young ladies in your neighborhood about the pride in becoming a woman of substance. You feel too important and classy to talk ladies who are beneath your standards. If you can be humble and teach both your elite class of women and the poor women your knowledge on the virtues of womanhood. You will raise a community of empowered and enlightened women for today and in the future.
Be a generational thinker!!!!

You are a man groomed in the manners of being a gentleman. You are able to communicate and present your thoughts and ideas well to the delight of many.  And you have the balls to criticise other young men who have stage freight or stammer that they should speak well the next time they come on stage. Aren't you ashamed of yourself??
Because you were once like them. You can have a large pool of the cultured young men you are hoping to see if you can just volunteer a free time to teach them some people skills. Be a generational thinker!!!!!

You are an entrepreneur and a successful business man or woman. Your small wealth nowadays makes you think every young man or woman hustling to make ends meet is lazy. Just because they are not making enough money or they are not pushing to be successful hard enough. How dare you!!!!
You can start a Financial literacy class for up and coming entrepreneurs and working class people. Stop being an armchair critic and stretch a hand to help a brother or sister who desires to learn something.
Be a generational thinker!!!!!

I want to raise millions of generational thinkers with me in Ghana and  around the world.

Be inspired to be a generational thinker for your family, community and your country!!!

How To Treat A Man

Men are often stereotyped for being weak or soft if they show their love or affection openly. But the truth is, men also need love too. Men need tender loving care and affection and attention just like women do. Caring, showing love and affection and giving attention is not only about women. It is about men too. Men also need early morning calls, just for their women to tell them sweet words too, encouraging words to carry them through the tough day they are already having or that sweet short text message you can send him just for him to know you love him and you are thinking about him. This is the reason why most married men  turn their attention to slay queens and side chicks looking for this kind of treatment. And not necessarily for sex. So from now on, ladies, start also calling your men and husbands, tell him sweet words, encourage him and inspire him,  learn to compliment him on his good looks, what he wears and appreciate with much admiration what he does for you....

Raising Responsible Children

To be a good parent to your child or children means parents must sacrifice their desires and needs for that of their children. Because of this, you must make sure to teach them the right things and guide them on the right path so they can become the proud children you dream of them to become in the future. At this early stage of their lives, we are the only ones they are looking up to. So every thing we teach them is of utmost importance to their growth and social development. Disciplining your children can be a tough thing to do in today's world. But you risk nurturing bad children if you allow them to do wrong without setting boundaries and limits for punishment. Do your best to deter them from harm or evil. Spare the rod, spoil the child. Hopefully if you and I can do this right, our  children will be the mirror of the perfect world we seek. I leave you with the lyrics from the song, the greatest love of all by George Benson and later Whitney Houston. I believe that chi...

Trust

Many of us today did  trust in other people blindly  so much that we never thought they will do us any wrong or betray us, but they did. They took advantage of our naivety and our complete believe in them to control and manipulate us into getting what they want from us, after that,  they left us alone in the cold. All because we trusted them.We were naive to trust in the wrong people. Period! On the other hand, we were the ones people trusted so much and yet we let them down and disappointed them. To their suprise, they may have been expecting the disappointment and the betrayal to come from a complete stranger they don't know, but it came from us. We all at one point in our lives have been victims and offenders in this game of trust. It is better to tell a bitter truth to a person you love so he can cope in difficult situation in life and be self reliant and independent in all things than to tell a sweet lie that will cause someone to depend on you or trust you co...
