PEOPLE AND OPINIONS

DAY 29 of 30



Opinions! Everybody's got them. Some people offer it cheaply, while a few others wait until it is asked for. opinions can be the cheapest commodity, after all, every one is entitled to his own opinion. If you will set about any major feat it's good to get a handful of great opinions from people, however just like a student researching for a thesis, my University Dean once advised 'you need to know when to stop reading and start writing'.

It's always wise to get a honest opinion from a few stakeholders and move on. If somebody will have to get everybody's opinion, he will end up doing nothing, because nobody gets nothing done by listening to everybody's opinion. I will illustrate this with another short story in my next post....after all, a man has got to do what he's got to do.

cheers!

HOLD ON! A STORY

28 OF 30

HOLD ON! A STORY

"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you till it seems you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn."
-- Harriet Beecher Stowe, author


One major reasons why people do not succeed, is giving up not only on their way to success but also giving up too soon. I will illustrate this with a story.

Long ago, there lived in a small village an old carpenter called Makanjuola (Makanjuola means never be hasty or in a deadly rush to get wealthy) he and the wife were so poor they could not afford three square meals but he was known for being truthful.
A man of high integrity he continued to work hard to cater for his beautiful wife and their son whom they named Iforiti (Iforiti means endurance) for so many years.

One afternoon the young son told his Father, "Dad, I will love to go to the big city and acquire skills for which I can make a living and find my path" The Dad agreed and off he went leaving his Mum with tears in her eyes.

In their son's absence, the couple continued to live and work hard despite their poor conditions.They were poor for many years expecting the return of their son, who never came back.
They grew old and lived in their old hut for so many years.

One fateful night the old man was called upon by the Village's chief for his assistance, he was to help a stranger who has lost his way pass the night till the next day when he was going to retrace his path.

So they went off to Makanjuola's house.

on getting home the couple apologized for not serving dinner as they had no food. The stranger was kind enough, so he opened his box which they found was full of money and he gave them some cash to buy some food, the stranger bid them goodnight after the dinner and went to bed.

At midnight the wife woke up the husband and they spoke in very low tones. " My husband if we do not get rich tonight, it might as well be the end for us ever" "how do you mean? he asked.The wife explained their need to kill the stranger so they could have all the money in the box.

So they went ahead and killed him and kept the money.

When the chief came for the stranger in the morning they lied to him that the stranger had run away.

The chief was surprised and told the couple the stranger's story and his name was Iforiti. When Makanjuola heard this he fell to the ground and died. When the wife also realized they killed their son,.she screamed,confessed and died.

Like iforiti- Endurance is a virtue needed in holding on.




Keep holding to GREATNESS!

#SPIRITUALITY: The Way of Love

1 Corinthians 13 The Message (MSG)

The Way of Love
13 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.

2 If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing.

3-7 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.

Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
8-10 Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled.

11 When I was an infant at my mother’s breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good.

12 We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!

13 But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.

ROMANCE 101: 3 THINGS EVERY GIRL WANTS IN EVERY RELATIONSHIP

It's a great day! Today I chose to break the ice, and write on the subject of relationship- romance especially.
Sitting with my special one in a cool eatery somewhere in western Nigeria, i decided to this post with her assistance.
So what does every girl want in a guy in a positive relationship.

1. Every girl wants committment.Any lady wants to be in a relationship where the other party is committed and it can be seen, felt and heard. She wants to be able to tell if you are and will always be there when it really matters.

2.Love and Affection: Nothing touches the heart of a lady like the unalloyed show of affection. There are no two ways about it. You see, relationships are like flowers that need to be tended to; love and affection are the main nutrients on which they thrive.

3.Communication: This is the life line of every relationship....i got to fly now!


Cheers,

MENTORSHIP DIARY 1: I GOT THE SCHOLARSHIP!

DAY 25 OF 30


In an earlier post tagged Mentorship 101, while I shared briefly on the need and value of mentorship, I also hinted on the fact that I was applying to a special mentorship session with my mentor alongside over 200 people from all walks of life. The good news I have however not shared is that I made it into the class and as a matter of fact the session with a targeted 200 participants eventually had over 600 people registering.

While I have not clearly revealed really anything about my mentor on this blog- i just didnt think it necessary initially but i might in the long run, I can provide answers when asked or you might as well read the hand writings on the wall...i will go on in my next post on my different mentors and my reaching out for a mentor and what scholarship I am talking about. If you would like to take a quick peep you can see my tweets under the harshtag #MentorshipWAA #TEAM3 . Remember my twitter handle again is @emmandus .

Be guided to greatness,

THE FIVE CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE

DAY 24 of 30



THE FIVE CATEGORIES OF PEOPLE

I love people. I love meeting people and thus I am in the business of meeting and helping people this is what I do for most part of my time and I believe I am on a journey to a point where I can do this on my own full time and of my own volition . I get a lot of fulfillment from being a part of the solution process to a problem, after all it’s important to the work of an Engineer and a life coach and the vision of Network Marketing especially on the Platform of Avenues to Wealth continues to give me that opportunity while offering personal development, financial rewards and lot more benefits in the process.
Earlier in the day while I set about a few personal tasks, I began to reflect on the nature of people, I understand there are different types of people regardless of race, sex or other criteria, however I believe people we come will always be in 5 major categories as I shared with a friend over lunch.

1. People who are confused: The world is a big place and things happen so fast that it is not impossible to find people who are really confused at the way things look or things are, this people for instance may not know where they are or perhaps where they are going too.
2. People who are Lost: People who are lost obviously set out for a certain destination but they are not where they would love to be and really they usually do not know where they are they are off course and will always need someone who can help them retrace their steps or a compass to set them back on the right path,
3. People who are Not Sure: These are people who are not certain. They are might not be lost or confused at times they know but they are not just sure. They might not be sure about their core-values they might not be sure about their position but they will always deal with half knowledge and very truly a 'little knowledge is a dangerous’

4. People who are very sure: This people are sure. There is no mincing words they are very sure. These categories of people know where they are going and they know where they are coming from.These are people you naturally want to walk with. They know where they are going and sure enough to take people along with.Because of this level of clarity they usually have the capacity to show leadership and engender positive change.

5. The followers : This is a broad category which will usually consist of people from any of the previous categories. These people will usually follow anyone and go anywhere. The main nature or characters of these people affect the quality of decisions they make in following or making decisions.If they are sure, they usually chart the course ,lead or be very good followers and if they are in the other categories they make decisions based on that.


Go achieve greatness!

The Road Not Taken

DAY 23 of 30



In this post I share a lovely poem by Robert Frost. This poem deserves being reflected on, I believe this will be a perfect prequel to tomorrow's post.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”

Robert Frost
