See Everyone As You See Yourself

When you see a good person, think of becoming like him or her. When you see someone to be a bad person, it should help you reflect on your own weaknesses as a person. No one was born perfect but we all have become who we are based on our different experiences we have faced  in life. So never judge anyone harshly  if there is still hope for change in such  a person. Remove the dirt in your own body before you accuse someone of being dirty or unclean *Kwame Sarpong*

You Cannot Do It Alone

*You Cannot Do It Alone* How are we/you  helping to support a brother, sister, family member or a dear friend grow a business or an Idea together? I get really worried every time I read on the news,  people or the entire world celebrating just one individual over a single achievement instead of celebrating the impact of that individual person's achievement in society or his community. These days we often here these terms a lot, "Self Made Millionaire" or "Self Made Billionaire". Meaning these people became millionaires and billionaires all on their own without anybody's help. Well, that cannot be true because I believe that before they became the  millionaires and the billionaires they are today, somebody or someone  somewhere bought their first product they ever made. Somebody had to buy into or believe in their business Ideas and supported them all the way until they reached the powerful status they are now. In fifteen century (15th century)  Germany, ...

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...

If I could turn back the hands of Time

Time, they say, waits for no man We may think that others have more time than we do to do things they really love and spend a quality time too with their friends and family But why not me?? Why can't time wait for me too so I can finish my hard day's work just to have quality time with my family and friends too? I spend most of my hours occupying myself with hard work, dedication to making money and an enviable desire of earning good money all the time Yet I'm not satisfied... It does not fill me with the happiness the world assures me I will get If only I could turn back the hands of time, just to know and understand what I am doing wrong so I can learn again to do it right I missed my son's countless birthdays, art lessons and football practice sessions He was near me all the time but the closest I came to seeing him everyday was always late at night Now he is a full grown man, matured and wise yet he does not want to be near me.... I don't know you, so...

Lost Values and Virtues

*The Lost Values and Virtues* And so is our world these days,  that most people have deep respect for people who are witty and smart but not matured and sensitive to others and things around them. Rich crooks are hailed and cheered all over as saviors,  giving the best and finest of seats in our churches, in our homes etc. But  what we fail to realise each time mostly is that their vast wealth came at the expense of the hard labor, sweat and hardwork of the weak and the helpless in our society. By extorting the poor and vulnerable in our society, majority of them became rich and many more are on their way to becoming one taking the same crooked route. This what I say to you this day, build for yourself integrity,  where doing the right thing and standing for the truth will always be an ever pursued virtue. The desire to show maturity, and being sensitive to the emotions and feelings of others will be something of a regular practice. Staying Resolute in the mids...

ImaImagination: The Preview To Life's Coming Attractions

Everything we see in this world today, cars, mobile phones, planes etc was brought into existence by someone's imagination. Take the mobile phone for instance, someone might have been talking on his wall phone and imagined what if I could take my calls outside and everywhere I go, and just like that, the mobile phone was born. Today each one of us uses a mobile phone and it has even  evolved to become  a smartphone.  The mobile phone is here with us today because it was in somebody's imagination. He dreamt of it, imagined himself doing it and it was done. *Why was he able to invent it??* Because he was the only one who could see it like it is today in his mind and he went ahead to do and design it. *Why are we not able to make our Imagination happen??* Imagination is everything!!!!  But the biggest mistake to our imagination is discouragement. Many of us have dreamt and imagined ourselves doing great things but we never get to do them because we are always te...

The  Inconvenient  Truth

We hate the truth so much today. We hate hearing about it and hate  it even more when it is coming from other people who we feel are not close to us. We are quick to swallow and lend our ears  to any lie that flatters us but find it hard, almost impossible to live with the truth because it may appear bitter to us. Meanwhile, it would have been much better for us and our lives to live knowing the truth and painfully taking the long path to do the right thing than to take a shortcut or a detour of many deadly pleasures just to do wrong. No matter how hard or  harsh, it may sound for you to hear the truth or receive it, if it is going to put your life in the right direction, please listen and listen good. Stay away from people who will hail you at every turn, people who find everything and anything you do to be nothing but good. Because none is perfect, we all have our good and bad sides. It is impossible for you to always have a good side all the time even if you fake i...
