LACK OF KNOWLEDGE WEIGHED AND KILLED

Image
While growing up as a village boy, my neighbours wife fell sick. She had pains in her breast and a lump. It was in their village. One of her sons, a staunch traditionalist, believed that his mother had been poisoned by other traditionalist. He set out to find a cure for his mother. He took her from one herbalist to another. They went from one forest to the other, seeking herbs and powers to neutralize the ‘poison’ but to no avail. The last juju man they went to did all he could to no avail. Then one morning he got up, took razor blades and made deep cuts into mothers' breasts. He claimed he saw that in a vision. With that cut on her lumped breast and the pains I can only imagine, she died. What would you say killed her? The lump or the cut? I know you want to rush to the comments section but wait a  minute read slowly. The truth is, neither of the above killed her. She died of IGNORANCE. The people who were the decision makers of her life did not KNOW that she had bre...

THE HARD WORKER AND LAZY MAN STORY that WILL CHANGE YOUR THINKING

Image
The Hard worker and Lazy man Story is must read for true great thought leaders and Entrepreneurs.  One of the things people are quick to judge people of is LAZINESS. They would easily say you’re LAZY when you’re not HARDWORKING in one area or the other. But hard work is RELATIVE. Just like some words are CONTEXTUAL in English Language. There is a young man, Jola, who loves writing. All he does is write. His articles are widely read. He has no money anyways. There is another young man, Joel, who grew up with his parents who are farmers. He also has no money anyways. Now, Jola and Joel were in calamity. They were poverty stricken. They don’t know what to do to make money to help themselves through life as they needed to survive.  Along the way they met a man called Lakene who's ready to help them out but needed to hear their upbringing stories.  Jola’s turn. He started by saying that at least, he is not as lazy as Joel who just sit to write and never gone to far...

THE STORY OF THE SHINY GOLD THAT CHANGED REASONING IN LIFE

Image
Gold isn’t shiny because it was washed with the best detergents or high-quality saponified agents. Gold is Gold because it has been tried in FIRE. Gold is irrelevant until it has kissed with Fire, coarse and terrific heat from the furnace. Gold would have complained its butts out, yelled, complained, but it saw its disgusting self, state, and its irrelevance to the world if it dodged the requisite process (the furnace). So, it was left with no other option than to submit to the fire. To you going through the unbearable heat of life, you have thrown many sighs, many unanswered questions, and might have even grown envious just because social media has its way of magnifying the wins of other people, so you are devastated and you are about dialing the “give up” button. Hey, hold up, hold out, don’t lose it yet because you are almost there. You came this far for a reason. The fire is unbearable just to make you unbeatable and invincible. The fire didn’t come to break you but to ...
