PREVENTION STILL BETTER

A fairly old man who used to eat fruits to enhance his bowel movements was unable to receive financial support that he used to receive from his children because of recession and the fact that his children’s salaries were not paid as at when due. Because their salaries were not paid they also could not send things to their parents again. Thus the man could not afford to buy those fruits that would keep him actively healthy as he used to before. Soon enough this man took ill, and the children started running here and there on behalf of their father started buying several drugs etc. after all said and done the man got well. The children after the discharge of their father started talking that assuming they had been sending the money home even if meagre, their father perhaps would not have been hospitalized and one of them said, “prevention is always better than cure” In all respects on shall discover that prevention is better than cure. The money one will spend in preventing a situati

Promotion

Every human being wants be promoted in the world. In the quest for being promoted in the world we do look unto some for assistance to be promoted. Some of us do this neglecting in totality the input of God and as we do this we injure ourselves if such a one fails in his/her promise for us. I had a friend years back, who have been promised by one of his rich uncle that immediately he finishes his degree he will get him connected to those that matter in the society so that his rise in the civil service would be accelerated. This friend of mine finished his service and his uncle and the entire family celebrated him. However, the man told this friend of mine that he would be coming to take him to those he had talked about on a certain day, on his way to my friend’s place he had an accident and died on the spot. When this friend of mine heard of the incident, he was downcasted because he had put all his hopes in the man that he would assist him to break boundaries and barriers. Yes,

NO ONE KNOWS

NO ONE KNOWS A woman was being buried in an area, and the minister of God conducting the burial ceremony says. “who is next?” No one can answer. The truth is no one knows who is next to die out of all the people were in attendance at the burial venue. Thus the people could not talk not because they knew and they remain silent but because they actually did not know. In the same is it in that no one knows who is next on the list to be blessed or to suffer misfortune. We all look forward for good things in this world, but the time the good thing would happen we cannot say. Some who may want to say they know when they world be married may found out that such saying is not altruistic, we have seen people who have concluded everything about their wedding but who could not do the wedding, we have seen people who have thought they would graduate at certain time and age who could not graduate at that time…. All these point to the fact that there is a factor other than natural that controls thin

SAME SONG

SAME SONG A local musician called Talented in the village of  Wan-Wan has been singing in this village and people really love his kind of music, but he was not popular, not renown as people taught he would have been. One day he was invited to another town to sing and there he sang one of his old time songs and the listeners appreciated this music and he was being sponsored by someone among the listeners to release an album. As the song of this man got to the larger populace, his music won the hearts of many and his life was transformed. The man one day looked back and said, the song that I have been singing for years within my village which people do not value is the same song which I sang that the people of the world now embraced, it was this same song that shot him out. What one has been doing that yields no dividends before when one does it at certain places other than where one has been doing it before one would be surprised at what God will do in the life of the person. In some ot

WHAT WOULD BE FOUND IN THE GENERATION OF THE RIGHTEOUS

Image
WHAT WOULD BE FOUND IN THE GENERATION OF THE RIGHTEOUS Bible: Psalms 14:5b "...for God is in the generation of the righteous" Generation means all the people who were born at about the same time. Righteous is being morally right and good. The Psalmist above says God is in the generation of the righteous. I now asked myself "Why God?" It has to be God but not other things because those people are showing forth what God loves, what God wants of all of us on earth. Because they are showing forth God, God equally could not do otherwise than being in their midst. As the definition above that generation means people born about the same time it means since those people born about the same time are doing what the Lord likes the Lord is in their midst. This does not mean that this generation would not be faced by troubles, difficulties, etc but because the Lord is in their midst everything would be fine for them. Everything would be fine because at

question

Excuse me, I need answer to this thought of mine. "At how many kilometers per seconds could the stone that David sling could be travelling to have made such great impact of entering the skull of the man called Goliath? " Please let us ignore the fact that he did not put on a protector to cover his skull or head. Anatomically and or biologically speaking, skull itself is a protector to the brain. Now, for a sling stone to have entered a man's head the speed of its movement must be terrific. (I Samuel 17:41-50)

SUMMARY OF WHAT I READ ON FOREX TRADE

SUMMARY OF WHAT I READ ON FOREX TRADE In learning how, when and what to trade the followings must be done 1.     CHOOSE A GRAPH: Area chart: this could be any of these: (a)   LINEAR: This is in line format, it is the most simple of all (b)  CHART: This summarizes data, it is easier to define, does not have too much information and simple to read and understand. Professionals however hardly use this because it does not provide full detail information for analysis (c)   CANDLE: This is a great representation of market quotes movement; it shows the time of the movement, which could be 30 seconds, 1 minutes, 5 minutes etc 2.     CHOOSE AN ASSET (a)   CURRENCY PAIRS: Value is defined by comparing currency with another currency. The first listed currency is called the base currency while the second with which it is paired is called quote currency. Most suitable for beginners is the EUR/USD pair because it has lower volatility. It is traded 24 hours in 5 working days. Other egs are EUR/USD; G

IGNORE PREACHERS OF DESPAIR

IGNORE PREACHERS OF DESPAIR Some preachers are not preachers of hope they will show you so many reasons why some things would not work but woiuld hardly show you a singular reason why you need to give something a trial. Some are directly not doing this, they are going about their preachings of despair in an indirect means. How do I mean? What I mean is that these kind of people will not tell you in direct sense not to embark on something but in an indirect sense you would be told not to do something. Take the instance of a preacher who because some rich people have given him/her money would not be preaching and showing people how miserable they are in his preaching, such a one would not let them see good things about themselves, the preacher would make illustrations that anyone who is poor would not make heaven, would quote from the book of proverbs that the poverty of the poor people would only lead to their doom, their perils. Such preachers like this would tell you that if you are n

Ọrọ àgbà (words of elders)

Ọrọ àgbà (words of elders) Àìtètè jí inú ọtá ndùn, a jí tán inú mbi baba wọn Translation Because I did not wake up early, the enemies are happy, but after I woke up, their fathers were annoyed. (Joke part: Why don’t you sleep early? I assume that if you sleep early you will wake up early) Application: The waking up in question here is not the physical sleeping and waking up, but it has to do with one’s progress in life. Sometimes some people’s progress (achievements in life would be delayed, it would be crawling in fact some’s progress would be slower that snails’ movements. During these times that such happen, I mean during the time that person could not achieve anything nthe enemies would be happy, they would be deriding and moking the person, the enemies would never think of any good thing about the person. An example of this could be seen in the bible of the man called Obed-Edom, no one thought of any good thing for the man, people wished him dead than being alive, this was clearly

EXPERIENCE

EXPERIENCE Experience is what one gathers from the incidents that have happened to the person in the pasts. This gathered things modify ones behaviours, it becomes formed in the person’s brain/cerebral cortexes via which the person would be able to react, form opinion about situations and instances in the bearest future. Experiences could be used by the person who has gathered it to arrive at judgment on certain issues, give counsels to people/groups who come to the person for advice or someone the person saw and who did not even come to the person, the experienced one could advice the person based on his/her experience if the person is loved so that the person would not become a vicitim, would not fall into where she/he does not desired to fall into. Sometimes naïve people look at the ones who gave them counsels as if they did not want them to assist them and such people would not take to the offered counsels, it is obviously true that many of such people do afterwards live in regrets

From alwaysreadingg@Tumblr

From alwaysreadingg@Tumblr I want you to know that I was never clever, I was never top of the class and I don’t say this to be modest, I was always in the middle, never really noticed as anything special. I had to work for my grades and where I am today, I mean work my ass off, I failed my favourite subject at a level, the one I was about to do at uni but went to uni for that subject anyway because it’s all I want to do. I want you to know that no matter how many set backs you have, you work your hardest you will get there and you will be happy.

SEVEN THINGS THAT CHILDREN OUGHT TO BE DOING

SEVEN THINGS THAT CHILDREN OUGHT TO BE DOING We  were once babies being carried around by our parents, uncles, brothers etc. And presently some of us are yet children before our parents, that is, those who still have parents. Although at the moment, they would not  be carrying us around like when we were naive, toddlers but since they are alive, we are still their wards. And no one, I mean no one, even those in the developed world inclusive, ever prayed to die before their parents. Every child wishes and prays that she or he outlives his or her  parents. In this topic, i wish to show us seven things as seen from the scriptures which is expected of children to be doing. For some of us who yet see ourselves children before our parents we shall equally discover that we are not exempted from these. Here are the seven things 1.  SITTING BEFORE THE TEACHERS. Jesus while in the flesh was known as Rabbi, meaning Teacher. He was the greatest teacher while in the flesh. And presently now, he is

WHEN WINDOWS ARE GETTING CLOSE

WHEN WINDOWS ARE GETTING CLOSE When I first heard this, word “windows are closing”, from my best American movie so far, 24 hours, I have to rewind the disc, increase my attention to the incidents in the movie so as to grasp into the minutest details the meaning of the word. During one of my dreams in the recent time I heard that “the windows are getting close”, on waking up, I brought the word back to my mind in synchronicity with what I have seen in the 24 hours movie and I know the meaning. What does it mean by the Windows are closing? The beaneath words will help you grasp what this phrase means. A student who has been seeking admission was given admission by an institution of higher learning and he was expected to resume with others who have been offered admission in 4 months time. The given time for preparation is the opened window. As each day passes, the width with which the window is opened gets narrower until the D-Day, which is the resumption day.

THAT GOOD INCIDENT AT THE YOUTHFUL STAGE

THAT GOOD INCIDENT AT THE YOUTHFUL STAGE Text: Lamentations 3:27 “It is good for a man that he bears the yoke in his youth” (KJV) “And it is good for people to submit at an early age to the yoke of his discipline” (NIV) INTRODUCTION More often than not the preachers used this verse of the bible on a negative instance, when something terrible has befallen someone, most especially a Christian, a Believer. They will use this verse as a reference point of consolation for the person, or may be I should say as a word of comfort for the person. I need to equally add that, this verse is essentially used for young persons, those who are just coming up, people between the ages of 18 and 45 mostly. They, preachers, hardly use this verse for those who are elders in faith when they are passing through unpleasant times. I think this is a misnomer and a bible verse and or verses ought to be applicable to all and sundry irrespective of age or sex. In this brief discuss I shall de

ỌRỌ̀ ÀWỌN ÀGBÀ (WORDS OF THE SAGE/ELDERS) Gbà isu yi fún Rábí nile ni gbà búrẹ́dì yi fún Gbàdà lóko translation Take these tubers of yam for Rabi at home; you should also take this bread for Gbàdà when you get to the farms APPLICATION Small Story about this word. Yorùbá's ancient work is farming. And because the farms are usually situated far from homes/towns, when someone sees a person going to the town, the person who is mindful of othes would give that person what she/he should give his relatives @ home. When the person is returning/the person sees someone else returning, thhe person will equally send something to those in the farm to show he/she is also mindful of them. In summary, this is showing that life is a give and take.

5 Powerful Entrepreneurship Lessons From Henry Ford-Luis E. Romero

From Forbes@Tumblr.com 5 Powerful Entrepreneurship Lessons From Henry Ford-Luis E. Romero Henry Ford, the founder of the American automaker Ford Motor Company, is widely recognized not only for his accomplishments, but for his way of thinking and leading. His legacy is filled with terrific quotes and memories which collectively point toward a powerful philosophy of entrepreneurship. I can think of few other figures to turn to for inspiration as I navigate the entrepreneurial landscape each and every day. With this in mind, let's take a look at five entrepreneurship lessons from Henry Ford. 1. Be so good at what you do that people think you invented it. Henry Ford often gets credited as the man who invented automobiles. This was not remotely true, but Ford was indeed so passionate about automobiles, and so instrumental to their presence in American and world culture, that he regularly gets credit for it. I'm not suggesting that anyone steal cre
