You and your thoughts

I was minding my business one beautiful night when I heard a loud sound in my area. The transformer blew up and there was a blackout. My neighbors began to say that there would be no power supply till February. Meaning that we will not have electricity in the area for two months. Some said we were now into another power supply issue at the beginning of the year. Different people said all kind of negative statements because of what they heard and the way the power supply went off. Suprisingly, not even up to twenty minutes the "condemned" power supply returned and all of them who prophesied were speechless. This is exactly how many people live thier lives. Just because of the sound of a threat they hear, many run away and give up their dreams. Many concluded that it's over because of a big blow that happened to them in their business. I've been saying this and I will also say it again: "Life will always test your commitment and patience on anything you d...

Sell your ways through life 2

Late last year, I created a short E-book (PDF file) on how to make money through WhatsApp & I sold it at the rate of #500. To some it was crazy, to some it doesn't make sense & to me it's my way of giving out values to those who needed it. I held a free WhatsApp class, thought the participants what I know & after the class I packaged it as a PDF file & sold it for #500. In December alone I made 8 sales & someone suprisingly rewarded me with #1000 for the PDF. Little abi? Well that's not the point. The point is that whatsoever gifts or skills you have, it is high time for you to let the world  knows about it. It will surely be little at first before becoming great. Just come out. What is your profession? Are you into selling a product or rendering a service? How many people knows that you are into it? Friend, it's time to come out from that cave & let the world knows what you do. The good news is that Social Media has made it s...

Selling your ways through life

While I was in school few years ago, one of the negative philosophy I had then was that I can't sell because I don't like selling. I prefer living a quiet life without asking anyone to give me money. I had a laptop system with me & I can surf the internet so well to get any information that I needed. My writing skill was not that bad then. So I did many things for students free of charge even though I was damn broke. These attitudes went on for many years until my final year at school when I needed money for my final project, departmental fees & the likes of fellowship expenses before leaving the school. Problem came & I needed money. With the help of a close girlfriend, I set up a small computer business in my room & began to type & print documents for students, most especially the final year students projects. This action helped me to solved all my financial crisis at that time. I must confess, I blamed myself for not starting the business earlier...

Philosophy for a Happy Life 2 (Lessons I learnt from SAM BERNS)

Image
I'm going to share with you the secrets to Sam happiness before Progeria sickness took his life in 2014.  Knowing fully well about his sickness, Sam lived a very happy life. Take the following advice seriously as you begin the new year: 1. Be ok with what you ultimately can't do because there are so much you can do. There are some incidence that you cannot help or have no power over, the best you can do is to let them go & focus on those ones you have control over.  There are lots of things in your life or around you that you can control, it's your responsibility to focus on them. Sam Bern lived his life focusing on things that have nothing to do with Progeria. He didn't thought about the sickness but focused on his own happiness. 2. Surround yourself with people you want to be around. Decide to surround yourself with people who have positive influence on you & on what you do.  Be with families & friends who makes significant I...

Philosophy for a Happy Life (Part 1)

Sam Bern was an American activist born in October 23rd, 1996. Died in January 10th, 2014. (17years) After watching Sam Bern 2013 speech at TEDx yesterday, my mind drew back to an event that happened to me in October 19th, 2019. Here is my story: I was coming home on this beautiful Saturday morning from a church vigil - the end of a 3- day revival program & like a dream, 3 arms men came from different directions & attacked me. Like a goat pulled down to be slaughtered by men, these people pulled my back on the ground & everything on me was taken away including my precious phone. Everything was taken with few injury on my hand. I remembered that the only song that filled my mouth was "You've done so much for me & I cannot tell it all - Narekelemo." Actually I don't know why. I came back home depressed but the song was in my mind comforting me. I got home & had my sleep without informing anyone at first. I slept before telling my dad, ...

It's Men's World

1. Someone work for a whole month & receive the sum of #100,000 salary. 2. Another person just work for few hours in a day & receive the same #100,000. 3. While someone was asleep & maybe minding his/her own business and receive an alert of #100,000 on his account just because another person remembered him & decided to pay him such money every month. Look at these 3 sets of people: They all receives the same amount of money but how they got it differs. It's quiet annoying & seem unfair to see a man holding something that you spent a month to have in his hand effortlessly. To some it might look like a short cut but to me it's a results of influence. God's call it favor. Influence through God and through men are systems design by God to elevate man beyond human understanding. If you don't have influence through any of the two, you will live your life struggling to have anything you want. Favor, grace & help are  tools God uses to sk...

No Procrastination

A doctor turned to his patients & said, "Bill, I have some bad news & some worst news for you." "Hold on now, doctor," said the concerned patient, "I can handle bad news & good news, but bad & worst news?" The doctor asked which one should be shared first & Bill wanted the bad news first. "Well," the doctor said sadly, "the result of all the tests are in & you only have 24 hours to live." "What? If that's the bad news what could possible be worst than that?" The doctor replied apologetically, "we found out yesterday & forgot to tell you." Bill lost his life in less than an hour after receiving that news. Listen. The effect in which procrastination will cost your time & your life will not be noticed until one day when you are in need of a thing & later realize that you have wasted lots of opportunities & chance to have or do it. What you can do now, do it n...
