Personal Development and Relationship

With the alarming rate at which crime grows in our present day society, one is left but to wonder as whether we still have an element of humanity running through our veins. The inhuman nature of man has continued to encroach into his sense of humanity and has made him nothing but a mirage of his true self which is a total opposite of whom he really was supposed to be. The disturbing headlines carried by our national dallies is a clear indication that our morals have gone to sleep on the bed of civilization and our conscience have been put to bed by the lullabies of contemporary literature which has fed us nothing but junk leaving us to vomit and defecate all manners of inhuman activities which cannot be thought of even among the animals. Our cherished possessions, norms and values have been thrown into the gutters simply because the creative and critical thinkers (writers) who are the primary custodians of morals and values have failed in their capacity to remind us of the...

The twenty first century educational system is now centered on molding business oriented men and women who will one day become the business moguls and control the resources of the country and planet at large. We have read from literature and have heard from testimonies how some people were able to start their business from the scratch and today, they are the owners and controllers of the market. In all these happenings, what I find hard to decipher is the place of ideas and capital in starting up a business and also to be able to know which is more important. Capital and ideas are both needed but then, which is more important? Before we go ahead to answer these questions I will suggest we take note of the following facts about ideas and capital.  1.         Idea is what forms a business and capital is what makes it possible: While it is good to have an idea, it is also good to have the capital to bring that idea to a realizat...

Believe it or not, We’ve all been lied to. The most potent lie we were ever told in life was this “go to school, get good grades and you will make it in life.” Please before you crucify me, I want you to know that I am not against the school system but all I am saying is that this little prison called “school” has been over-hyped to the extent that people can do anything just to find themselves there. I know of a lot of people who took up a course they know nothing about just because they wanted to get the certificate. They wanted to be called students. Certificate is good but when it is combined with passion, it becomes even better. Most of the people who now rule the world did not do that by pursuing a certificate but by following their passions. Their passions led them straight to limelight and the certificates came crawling before their doors. Here are some reasons why your passion is far better than that certificate. 1.       You don’...

Life on earth is all about associations. You are what you believe in or associate with. You are who you are today because of the things and people you once associated with. No man can survive without the other because our survival here on earth is dependent on each other. In our lives, there are quite some funny things which are enemies but appear as friends. These things give us false hopes and make us comfortable when we are supposed to be working. These friendly enemies are always there for us even we feel others have abandoned us. They are closer than even our real friends. These enemies are not humans but habits and associations which we must avoid like a plague if we really want to be great in life. Here are some of them friendly enemies in our lives. 1.       Success There is nothing as comforting and accommodating as success. It makes you feel fulfilled and satisfied. Success has a way of giving people false hopes because we feel we hav...
