As August ends




As August gradually ends, one question we should all ask ourselves is "what have I achieved in August?" your answer maybe "a lot", "a little", or "nothing", right now it doesn’t matter what your answer is. One thing about time is that we can't recover the moments wasted. Therefore, all we're left with is the present and the future. We can't spend today brooding over our foolishness of yesterday, that will mean wasting tomorrow brooding over today.

Our best bet is to fashion out feasible ways to maximize the little time we have today. Feasible in the sense that it must be achievable, if you are a student it is time to study aggressively, if you're in business it is time to implement new ideas, whatever you do it is time to put in your very best in it. Yes it might take a lot of energy, but we have that in excess.

And when you're confused or depressed remember we have someone who is always willing to hear our problems and to solve them for us. His name is Jesus. You can just call on him for help and believe me he won't delay.
Let us make good use of the remaining part of this month!

Love Others

 Love perhaps is one of the most misused and misunderstood words of all time. The first thing that rushes to our minds when love is mentioned is a romantic relationship involving two people. But is that the only definition of love? Surely no.

Love is deeper than romance, it is a feeling of deep affection for somebody. Many in loving have limited themselves to a few people, mostly family and friends, while there are one million and one people around who need to be loved. I look around me and I see handicapped people, who are blind, deaf and dumb, lame, I also see orphans with nobody to care for them, people who find it hard to feed and clothe their selves and neighbours who need to be cared for.

Ungrateful Me



Waking up this morning to the sound of my alarm, it was hard to even stand up from my bed. When I succeed in standing up, it was to walk up to my computer and check my mail, news around the world and my social network accounts. A glance at the headlines of several online news websites showed sad stories of disasters and deaths. From the violence in Egypt to the Syrians who had to migrate to Iraq due to conflict. 

Oh how ungrateful I am? Sleeping and waking up is really a privilege which almighty God granted me even when am not worthy, and here I am surfing the net without first thanking to God. I don't know how it is with you but if you have not said your morning prayers today you're quite ungrateful. 

I said mine minutes ago, You could say yours now!

You could start with thank you Jesus for a new day!

Becoming the Best



We always think in our different spheres of life that the best is a reserved position for some specially selected set of people. But I tell you there is enough space in the sky to contain each and every one of us that is determined to be the best.

Before I proceed I need you my dear reader to understand one thing. Being the best is not about beating the best person in your class, it is not about graduating with the best result, it is not about being the most successful in your line of business, neither is it about winning one competition or the other. Am not saying these things are not desirable, no, am only saying that being the best means a lot more than these.

The Ultimate Sacrifice for Humanity



Sometimes it could just mean having to spend your time with a lonely friend, but most times it could mean more. Sacrifice simply put means giving up something valuable or important for somebody or something else considered to be of more value or importance.
Many are sacrificing a lot for the good of humanity but some are doing more. One of those sacrificing a lot is Dr Georges Bwelle a Cameroonian medical doctor who after watching his poor father die of an infection which developed and spread through his brain creating a hematoma decided to become a medical doctor.

Dr Georges now a vascular surgeon who works at Yaoundé’s central hospital started ASCOVIME, a Cameroonian non-profit organization based in Yaoundé. The organization is solely based on voluntary work and their mission is to fight illiteracy and diseases in rural parts of Cameroon by providing medical care and school supplies.

FInding my talent-What Ben Carson Says


Talent simply put is an unusual natural ability to do something well. People are endowed with different talents. Many try to tailor their life to a direction different from their talent and in the process they fail to discover their own God given gift(s).

Below is what Dr Ben Carson said about talent in his book about “THINK BIG”
 “Particularly when I speak to young people I talk about talent. When I get a chance for a one-to-one or small group conversation, I often ask, “What talent do you have?”

Failure, the mother of success



Many think failure is a word only known to the poor and needy that we see every day, the handicapped who can hardly support themselves, the illiterates who didn’t succeed in the academia, people who are rejected in one way or the other, and other people who failed to succeed politically, socially, economically and otherwise. How wrong they can be!

Who would have believed that a child born into poverty to a teenage single mother, who was raped at nine and became pregnant at 14, will ever become anything meaningful in life? But there she is year after year in the world billionaire’s list (Forbes list), one of the most influential women in the world Oprah Winfrey. Her story today elates the ears of many; we all celebrate her success and forget where she came from. She was born without even an aluminium spoon, yes, but with determination look where she is now.
