How Far?
If you are in Nigeria or have stayed in some parts of Nigeria, you must have heard this question "how far?" from someone. It connotes either of "what is the progress report" or "how are you doing?" We are fast moving in the fourth month of 2022 already, HOW FAR? What has changed, what has improved, what have you given up or what have you picked up towards becoming a better version of you? Life is measured in time and the value of time is in its use. It's much easier to waste it. Don't wait for anyone to ask you about the progress report of the decisions you consciously made at the beginning of the year. At the end of it all it will be a question that only you will have to answer so start answering it now. Are you still on track or have you drifted off the track? It's not a time for long words, just answer the question, HOW FAR? © Ojonugwa, J. A
THE COST OF IMPACT
The biggest sacrifice of a king maker is that, he may never become a king in his life time, it is a cost worth paying for a sense of purpose and duty. We often think, dream and plan to be big but not many people deliberately take time to count the cost. I saw this somewhere in my Bible that a wise man counts his cost before engaging in an assignment (paraphrased). How often do you really take time to weigh the cost and benefits of your actions? Honestly speaking, you are not designed to do everything even when you can do all things. I know some folks may want to question that statement, but it is the truth. Observations have shown that one of our biggest problem is the unconcious desire to be good at everything. This desire is not bad and it is sometimes achievable. However, that was not your primary configuration. I made a drastic change in my life back in secondary school or what some people call high school that I will never forget why. The counselling team told us ...
IS IT WORKING?
The encyclopaedia is an invention of man, so, it would not be out of place to say, man knows more than the encyclopaedia. What do you think? Everyday I see how people strive to learn new things and acquire more knowledge concsiously and unconsciously. Atimes it is glaring that the learning is out of compulsion and circumstances but, I do not have a challenge with that in this piece. All my interest at the moment is, how much of the acquired knowledge the learners actually put to work? Are we really learning to eventually forget or are we learning and practicing what we learn. People always say knowledge is power but I have always held on to the school of thought that believes knowledge is potential power and not power. If you have not noticed, whatever you learn that has no application in your life or through your life is an aberration in knowledge and ultimately a waste of time. Recent researches have asserted that against the 10% brain usage myth, every part of the human brain i...
Dilemma of Love.
They say, Love is expensive Love is demanding Some even say.. Love is painful Love is difficult but is that really love. A young guy walks up to a young lady and says I love you. After few weeks she comes back crying, he broke my heart after all I did for him. Seriously??? What did you do for him? I discovered early in life that love is a choice to accept, care, and tend . Love is patient and kind; Love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. and never ends. Happy valentines day!
THE ERROR OF CUT YOUR COAT ACCORDING TO YOUR SIZE.
If you cut your "destiny coat" according to your size, you will definitely waste some "destiny fabric" and I know you hate waste.😄 That was a reflective joke please, before I start getting questions on destiny coat😄. I have observed one thing that has been centrally accepted by all kinds of people to play a vital role in success, it is the mind. Irrespective of religious doctrines, educational backgrounds, psychological perspectives and secular orientation the mind and mindset has never been an issue of controversy when talking about it's role in success. My own save haven explains it this way: "as a man thinketh in his heart(mind) so is he." You agree with that ideology right? If the mind is that important then, we must be cautious and conscious of its growth and development because, to a great extent it defines us. Look at it this way, the wright brothers knew about the law of gravity but had a different mindset about it. Today their mi...
