Read It. Love It.

The poor man will always be the sucker for the rich. Yet they, the poor, made the rich what he or she is. Despite  his wisdom he is taken for granted where the big man is present. Like the king, the big man does no wrong. Every word that drops from his lips is lapped up with relish by the poor. Even if they are the most foolish words you can ever imagine. He is always right. Might is right. Why not. The poor man works in the big man's factory. He buys low quality products from that factory at higher prices compared to the high quality and commensurate value that the big entrepreneur obtained from imported goods. He is paying the poor folk a pittance from which he made those purchases in the local market. The rich established the Bank which the factory worker must save something out of his little stipend. Remember he works under the most inhuman conditions at whatever rate of earnings. His health is ruined by very  low standard of living.  The big men enjoy the best of hea...

GRADUATE AND MARRY? I was shocked when my roommate, back then in the university, said that she couldn't wait to graduate and  marry. I am not against getting married immediately after graduation, but I was expecting to hear something inspiring from a youthful single lady. I got another surprise during an evening get together in a youth fellowship, when each person was asked about their future pursuit; a young lady said she wanted to be a pastor's wife. I am not sure how such matter works, but I was sure eager to hear people talk of their wonderful aspirations. I actually wasn't truthful to myself anyway when I told them that I wanted to be a banker. I was in a youth conference one day, when the facilitator anchoring the aspect of purpose asked us to imagine where we want to be. He said, "Begin to see yourself in that position". Perhaps others were seeing, but I wasn't. I needed more time to discover myself. Everyday is for discovery. Let's make the...

 Many relationship begin with lust, and sometimes  leave the partners falling gradually in love. ..... Being in love doesn't exclude lust. In fact, lust can lead to love (Judith Orloff M.D, Intuitive Healing) View the previous post, "lust versus love" for signs of love and lust . So, examine your relationship and draw the lines between love and lust. For a healthy relationship in the long run, it is better to identify what you truly feel at the early stage. FOUR NEGATIVE GUT FEELINGS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS (from Guide to Intuitive Healing) Watch for: 1. A little voice in your gut says "danger" or "beware." 2. You have a sense of malaise, discomfort, or feeling drained after you're together. 3. Your attraction feels destructive or dark. 4. You're uncomfortable with how this person is treating you, but you're afraid that if you mention it, you'll push him or her away.

Love is an intense feeling or affection and care towards another person. Lust is a strong craving for something. In terms of intimate relationship, lust is a strong desire to get sexually intimate with the opposite sex. According to Judith Orloff M.D's book on intuitive healing she discussed the difference between lust and love: Pure lust is based solely on physical attraction and fantasy--it often dissipates when the "real person" surfaces. ...... However, real love, not based on idealization or projection, requires time to get to know each other. Here are some signs to watch for to differentiate pure lust from love. SIGNS OF LUST *You're totally focused on a person's looks and body. *You're interested in having sex, but not in having conversations. *You'd rather keep the relationship on a fantasy level, not discuss real feelings. *You want to leave soon after sex rather than cuddling or breakfast the next morning. *You are lovers, but not fr...

Dreams die hard but give birth to more durable ones. The abrupt end to a dream is not common place unless the dreamer was day dreaming and building castles in the air. Dreams are invested with a resilience to sustain them through a lifetime once they are conceived and until they have been fully delivered of their objectives. We are bound to them as soon as something triggers our memory, even remotely. We can only fine tune them to fast track their reactivation with more vigour. Many careers or academic pursuit fail to materialize because they were unsuitable to the passion of those whom circumstances rather than their dreams determined their choices. This category of people had to revert back eventually to what they actually wanted to do after going through the tragedy of a misadventures. Most of this happened as a result of peer-influences or parental insistence to have their way. Even career guidance at a formal level have not quite ameliorated this unfortunate situation. The abiliti...

Place your thoughts and ideas in the right order so that you do not get entangled or frustrated in the midst of your (life) project. It is worrisome and unpleasant to jump the gun, or to put the cart before  the horse. Little wonder the unrealized or failed experience encountered when such principle is not taken into consideration. Nutrients for your thought: Before money become the solution to achieving your dreams, place passion. Those people who grumble for lack of money as a prerequisite to moving up on the ladder of life, do not see the future with an optimistic view. Our undying passion should be kept burning under faith (an optimistic view of what is to come). Before opportunity become what you seek for, make yourself and skills available for every good works. It's saddening to know that some people suffer poor self esteem and are  (as well as their abilities) unlikely conspicuous to people around them; while some are lazy or apathetic over contributing towards...

Businesses thrive on comparative advantage using their core competencies to compete against their rivals. The dreams and vision of their owners is the factor determining the success or failure of those corporate organizations. The entrepreneurial ideas that gave birth to such businesses weren’t an overnight dream.

#originality We cannot afford to indulge our minds in ideas conceived by other people whose capabilities are different from our own and have their part well cut-out to make their success very easy. But if there are similarities with such people then we need to adapt the ideas offered by others to our basic competencies rather than adopt wholesale and make a mess of ourselves.

Nothing can be more alive in the inner recesses of our minds than our dreams. That is the proof of the incontestable superiority of our dreams to all other ideas and thoughts swirling around our brains for attention. The reason is that our rise and fall in life depends on the types of dream we harbour and nurture in our minds.
