WHAT EVERYONE HAS



Some people  have assets, others  have nothing and those with assets, wake up everyday with the aim of making more of it to increase  the money they make while those with nothing, well .....same old. They keep on hoping and waiting  for a miracle but it's  best to hope and wait for a miracle when one is working on something to fetch  him money. obviously,  our mentality is the margin  that separates the rich from the poor. We all have equal time, the greatest asset one could ever have and sadly, it's  taken for granted. I used to hear "time is money" often but now it isn't used that much  and I believe it's because  we don't really understand it but those who do are either successful or on their way to success. Every second counts, a lot can be done within  twenty-four hours but our environment  and the type of  foundation we had  is making it difficult for us to believe. Changes are made not inherited.
School teaches us things we should know in order to fit in the society and who we can work for when we graduate  but it doesn't  really teach us the different ways we can use our potentials or available  resources  to make money and the number of people  we can save from unemployment.
We learn new things  consonciously and unconsciously every twenty-four hours but why don't we apply them?
School is playing  it's role in our lives, have we played ours? We all have time, equal amount of  time but once we lose it, we will never regain it. Clock is ticking.

    Wow! An absolutely stunning piece!

    One quote that my best teacher always told us in secondary school was: "What mortals can do for themselves, the deities( or God) have refused to do for them."
    It's an undeniable fact that most poor people just sit down, wishing and hoping without putting in the energy and most at times use God to cover up their inactions that He is in control.

    You've made a good observation with noticing the adage "time is money" is no longer used often because, nowadays according to the rich, the best system is the one in which you don't exchange time for money; the best systems use leverage.

    And yes, if this system is said to be good, then what are the resources that would make it work?
    The answer is HUMAN RESOURCE!
    Human resource is the most common and yet most important fuel to the leverage system. And that's why the rich people spend their time networking to know people and how they can have some mutual benefits.

    It's evident we're living in the most affluent time in all of history so, if we're unsuccessful, the problem is not from the system; THE PROBLEM IS US!

    Interesting piece. It brings to mind the popular saying that ‘ time and tide waits for no Man’.

    U are absolutely right
    We need to make every second of our life count.Cos we all know that time is money, and the more breaks given,the less money that is made.

ARE WE THERE YET?

We crave for prosperity ,gender  equality ,freedom ,justice ,green pastures. We talk about each with  strong  force and anger ,but our attitude towards bringing all to reality is lackadaisical. Why is that so?. Are we waiting for someone to work on it for us? We haven't  reached our goals yet ,why have we relaxed? People still suffer ,others die because they don't have enough resources to survive and its now like we don't care anymore. We are comfortable with the current happenings because we want to be. We are just settling  for less. This is not the Africa I learnt about growing up. I know Africans wouldn't give up without a fight but here is the case nothing  similar  is being thought of. The fact that some leaders do not even believe in their people  and some people not  believing  in their leaders saddens my heart. What happened  to unity? What happened  to individual  prosperity?.Why is the rate of poverty ...

LITTLE DROPS OF HEAVEN

Clearly, there is heaven on earth. You want to know how I know? Well, there are times you feel alone, times you do something great without getting an applause, times you help better the lives of others and they end up being ungrateful, times you win by the skin of your teeth, yet you don't value your efforts. We obviously allow ourselves to feel that way because we expect too much. We were placed on earth for a purpose, so, we should do our best with happiness and pleasure. You know that great feeling you get when you do something you are into, or something that influences someone or something positively? yes! That feeling. I call it little drops of heaven. It doesn't come as a result of a comment or an applause or the number of people around you. You trigger that feeling with no external factors. Imagine you do something you love everyday, Imagine you work towards archiving something you long to posses, each day. Just imagine, have You?....little drops of heaven. Wel...

A PIECE OF BLACK

 I don’t know about other colors, but I know there should be a piece of black in all of us, just a piece. Without it, many people will suffer, others will starve, some might even die. Well, black here refers to all our negative attitudes. Yes! Our negative attitudes, and one of them is a piece, selfishness. We are drowning with people we are supposed to save, dying with people we are supposed to heal and crying with people we are supposed to cheer because we do not have a piece of black at that point. We are to first lay a good foundation for ourselves and later make ourselves better in order to help others reach their goals. Just like in an operating room, there are no guests or visitors allowed because the patient is going through transformation. If a house you are in catches fire to an extent, you find means of getting out then, you go for help for anyone in there, but if you try to save everyone at that point, chances are, you are all not going to make it. There are s...
