Say no to bad leaders!

Few days ago, a young girl child of 7 years, brought her sister of 5 years to the hospital for admission and treatment while their mother was away to the market to sell. According to the little care taker, their mother said that "she will bring her to the hospital after 3 days when she gather some money". But the 7-years old sister couldn't stand the severity of the pains of her sister and hence she has to wait for their mother to leave the house before they could take the next step.

When their mother went away for her market day business, off, these two sisters secretly sneaked out of the house into the hospital, demanding and insisting on admission since they believe "that is the only way out for relief". Their mother returned, visited them in the hospital and gave them a blame for doing "something" without her knowledge! You see?

It is very simple. This true story said it all. If you want bad leaders to suggest for you what to do, you might die with your good opinions in your head!

It is pitiful if we throw our good ideas away in order to worship the evil ideas of so-called "seniors"! Guess what they have for us? Nothing much! Think.

I love the passion of the little girl to resist all barriers to the health of her sister. Yes! When leadership has become a barrier, you need to bore a hole through it and find your way out to the next level.

One of the lines of the Ghanaian national anthem said it all; "...AND HELP US TO RESIST OPPRESSORS' RULE WITH ALL OUR RIGHT AND MIGHT FOR EVERMORE". This is not just an anthem, but it is a prayer! Resist every temptation from anybody who does not have any good plan for you and move ahead in life.

Sometimes, it would seem as if you are arrogant. No please, your life is your life, your success is your success and you will not die before thinking of what to do! Many failures would have been skipped if only we had not listened to bad leaders!

Stay blessed and live life so well!

It's Vision, not gender!

One of the most irrelevant quotes of our time goes; "If you educate a man, you educate one person. But if you educate a woman, you educate the whole nation" ...??????. I think this sentence by Dr. Kwegir Aggrey had passed its expiry date a long while ago. Analyze it critically and compare it to African women in general. You will discover that it's no longer relevant today! Let's pack it somewhere!

There are many of educated woman who are ignorant; they are obsessed about their work and meetings upon meetings while leaving their children in the hands of inexperienced "house girls". What of those women in politics who openly insult men in their opposing political parties? They are also educated, but how is the entire nation transformed by a woman whose mouth is sharp to insult her president on air all in the name of politics?

I am beginning to like this one; "if you educate a visionary person, you educate the whole nation". And a visionary person could be a man, a woman, a boy, a girl, a youth, a grandmother, a grandfather, a white man or a black man!

Vision will guide Africa, not gender!

Stay blessed and live life so well!

The right position!

Not every position on the football field is a scoring position; not every position in life is a success mentoring position!

Take note of it. Where you find yourself is very important, hence you ensure that every single minute spent in the day is well spent at the right place and at the right time!

You can't be on bed all day while others are seriously striving hard with their heads, hearts and hands and expect to reap what they will reap. That is an offside position!

Be determined to spend the right time with the right friends. Communications that do not yield any positive result in your life must never be tolerated. Events, Books, Movies, Programmes that do not provide you with the support and information you need to succeed are totally unnecessary.

Make time to monitor your steps. Always assess your steps and put them in order! You can only score the winning goal when you put yourself at the front of the goal! Face the GOAL you have on paper now!

Stay blessed and live life so well!

Some years ask questions.

Years have questions for those who live to enjoy them. Fortunately, some other years also have answers for the questions asked.

LAST YEAR asks you; "are you applying what you learnt from God?". THIS YEAR answers; "yes, can't you see his life is changing?" or "no, can't you see he is the same?"

LAST YEAR asks you; "are you serious about eternity?". THIS YEAR answers; "yes, because he prays and prepares everyday" or "no, he is not serious, because he lives his life anyhow". Good answers. THIS YEAR doesn't lie; it answers according to what you are doing! Now what about NEXT YEAR?

NEXT YEAR only has the evidence of the answers THIS YEAR provides. You become what you are doing now; Next year is that evidence!

Sometimes, next year becomes silent and refuses to provide evidence about who you will become. When this happens, it means "either that CHRIST will come by then" or "the next moment may not meet you! Thus; “black silence”.

Prepare to answer God any day! Live life so well!

Africa; the few with visions can do it!

If the economy of Ghana was turned around by the efforts of one man, Tetteh Quarshie in those early days, then a husband and his wife can turn Africa around. It's not the number that does the work; it’s the concentrated visions of the passionate few! It's possible!

The change we need will never come at a go. It will come by the transformation of the entire populace one man at a time! Every family should sweep the front yard of their household and the entire city will be clean! Each city should have her streets cleaned and the entire country will look attractive! Yea. Every country should promote their youths with entrepreneurial ideologies and skill mentoring opportunities and you see that the continent will be a place where no citizen will even think of abandoning or leaving!

It is a duty of everyone to start the transformational process, but if you can't start it, don't destroy the dreams of those who have already started; perhaps you will join them later!

Africa needs you! Live life so well!

You should be 12:30 or 6:00! But don't be 12:00 or 6:30!

You should be 12:30 or 6:00! But don't be 12:00 or 6:30!

A popular proverb advises; "Do not put all your eggs in one basket"!

When you watch the analogue clock closely, you see that when the time is 6:00 and 12:30, both "minute hand" and the "hour hand" are spread away from each other; one goes up and the other comes down! However when the time is 6:30 both "hands" come down and when it is 12:00 both "hands" go up!

The argument is that you have many gifts and among them, one is your dominant gift. Don't only choose to invest into only one; spread your attention across any gift you have discovered when the opportunity comes for it to naturally yield results!

Don't be glued to only one stream of income if you want to be a multi-billionaire. Don't invest your time studying only one course or subject if you desire to get a better GPA or aggregate!

This is how the bird does it; it spreads its wings in the opposite directions and then it can fly!

When it’s time for school, be at school. When it time for church, be at church. When its time for business, be there for business! Spread yourself and you will fly! Live life so well!

Imitation is Limitation!

A single day in my own shoe that is comfortable for me is better than 365 days in someone else's shoes that does not fit me at all.

Be yourself; you can't be who you are not meant to be. There is something you can never do; leave it for those who can do it! There is something you can do; do it till all is done!

Talents are natural abilities capable of being developed into productive assets. Everyone has it (them). But is unfortunate some people give up on their God-given gifts in pursuit of what other people do. This kind of Imitation is Limitation!

When you have passion for what someone else does, it is mentorship and role modeling that you need; not imitation. FIX yourself where you FIT and you will not limit your destiny!

Someone may take 30 minutes to compose an excellent music naturally on note, while another person may still suffer with the accuracy of his tunes and musical notes even if given 30 months and beyond.

The good news is that you can develop what you have if you will stay in the shoe that fit you most! Live life so well!
