Unlocking the treasure in you

          Posterities are inner forces, innate resources and abilities that God has deposited in every person which can help one achieve his/her purpose on earth potentials were deposited man as response to problems that exist on earth.  
          Potentials make you unique, confident and can bring satisfaction to you. They are treasures found in every person. The setbacks and hindrance to the development of your potentials are doubts, fear, negative influences/association, ignorance negative attitude/characters, pride and abilities are never developed in a nesh. It may take sometime but pays off.
          There is a Chinese plant which when planted experience very reliable growth for over four years. Yet they still apply fertilizer and water till the fifth year. In the fifth year the plant that has not shown signs of development within five weeks grows ninety feet in height. And it is very useful for economic and health purposes One thing about discovering and developing your potentials are maximized, your suffering in life is minimized.

All women are donkeys

          During an argument, a husband and his wife “women are donkeys, all women are donkeys!” the next day, as there were travelling along the highway a donkey passed right in front of their car. The woman tells her husband “sweetheart be careful, your mother is crossing the road.”

Enjoyment and social life in schools

          Students take school life as a means of enjoyment and to socialize. During our primary school days, we were so much under the direct control of our parents that we could hardly go anywhere without their knowledge, permission and consent. Even our friends were thoroughly checked by them. As a matter of fact, they monitored all our activities.

           We equally had catalogue of what to do and what not to do; and we were punished each time we kicked against their dos and don’ts. Then we were not so free, and of course we never cherished much of the restrictions imposed on us.

          When we were through with our primary school, we were considered a little but mature and also started to assert certain bit of autonomy which more often than not, resulted in clashes of interest and personality between us and our parents.

             But I will advise us not to develop certain bit of autonomy. Although we could say or people can address us as mature people while in secondary schools but it shouldn’t be mature at boys socializing with cultist or girls becoming exposed. I am saying it is not bad to socialize but we should not socialize in bad groups. But mind we have come to study. If we allow ourselves to be carried away by temporary pleasures of the present time then our fate would not be different from being useless

An obedient son

           There was a boy called Taye who lived in Iyere town. Before his mother went to market in the morning, she told Taye, son, your lunch is in the kitchen. Play with your friends just outside the house, but always stay near the door. Taye was a good boy and wanted to do as his mother commanded. He played with his friends in the morning and sat by the door in the afternoon.
           When it was noon his brother in-law came and asked him, “where is your mother?” mother has gone the market, replied Taye. His brother in-law then said “your sister and I will visit your mother this evening. Please go and inform her.” Taye did not know what to do. He wanted to obey his mother and stay by the door, but also had to go to the message.
          He removed the door and carried it on his back. His mother was surprised to see him, “I asked you to stay by near the house. Why have you come here with door on your back?” Said his mother. Taye replied immediately, “mother, you wanted me to stay close to the door, but my brother in-law sent me to inform you that he and my sister are visiting us today. So the best thing for me to do was to bring the door with me so that I could be closed to it.

Strive fot excellence

       Being excellence means becoming a person of value. The plan of God for your life and destiny is to attain the highest level of excellence. It is an abuse on redemption if you are not attaining excellence in your life. This is because a true leader is someone who wants to distinguish himself in his field. 

       God’s desire for your life is to make you the head and not the tail. That is why he said you should be above only and not beneath. Hear this beloved, excellence is not an accident; it is something you must strive for.
        Excellence demand hard work. In the school of success, hard work is mandatory. It is not optional. If you want to work for only six hours a day, you are not likely achieve distinction and excellence in life Excellence is not a product of luck but a product of experience. Excellence comes by diligence. The excellence you desire to achieve in that your ministry, government or business does not come by osmosis. To become excellent forever in life, you must emulate excellent people. If you want to be great in your life journey, copy great mean. Understand me now that life is too short to discover everything yourself and also, life is too short not to learn from great men who ever lived. We are able to transplant hearts because medical doctors learnt from our predecessors.
         It is high time we began to strive for excellence in life. Be humble and depend upon the discoveries of others, because God does not want you to be a mediocre. Insist on the highest quality and not quantity. Decide today for excellence. Read good books that excellent people have written. You can be an excellent businessman, independent, student and general manager of that enterprise.
        Remember, everyone that desire excellence in life must be a radical thinker. It takes thinking to come out with meaningful results. Don’t limit your personality. Believe you can do it better than others
