Before We Go

I have a dream! The most common and inspiring words of Martin Luther king. Yes we can! The most common and inspiring words of Barack Obama. 

We will all one day leave this world to a journey of no return. People have come and people have gone. We've had people of influence who not only did things to change the world but they did things because they refused to be changed by the world. 

Today we are faced with a number of ill changes that have crept deep in our hearts. The lack to show and give to one another, as the greatest commandment commands, love your neighbor as you love yourself. 

See our children grow without us giving them the love that they need. We must be alive to the fact that our children learn by imitating and each one of us is a model to them weather we like it or not, they will inherit this world. 

A lot of our children have had their childhood stolen from them. Our children must learn their true intended purpose on earth because respect and love is a long life task that should be lent at that age. 

Childhood is a time when the dream that Martin Luther king talked about was not any other wish but a dream when we can all wake up one day and look at what we have built with pride using our future leaders. Yes we can, only when we the pillars holding our lights to sustain our roads stand firm. 

The biggest question that every one of us should ask is what will our children say about us ten, fifteen years after we leave this world to them? 

Time is now to make all the wrongs right and avoid falling in the traps that our fathers and mothers fell in. We blame them for that so lets live a lifestyle which will make our children praise and emulate our us. 

Life is short and yes we can.

BEING YOU...

I t's been said that the biggest enemy of 'great' is 'good'. The biggest enemy most of us face is 'ourselves'. The nagging voice says: be like him, you're not worthy; do what he does, follow where others are going. When you're trying to be like someone else, the best you can ever be is "second best" . Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you. We all do it or have done it at some point in our lives; we compare ourselves to others and gauge where we are based on what we observe them to be doing. When you stop comparing yourself to others, you tend to produce more results in your life, you are able to improve yourself, and get a better vision for your life . The easiest thing to be in the world is YOU . The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position. Until you make peace with who you are, you will never be cont...

Be Yourself

Be an original individual and not a photocopy. However, you may try to change your personality, but you can't. A congolese proverb says, " Wood may remain ten years in the water, but it will never become a crocodile". Beware! Many spend their entire lives trying to change the way they were made. "To be nobody but yourself" says E.E. Cummings " but in a world which is doing its best day and night, to make everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting." The greatest tragedy than can strike an individual is to fail to know himself.  Syndney Harris said "Ninety percent of the world's woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties and their real virtues". Whatever you are, be a good one.  You are number one; everyone in the world is your number two. Wart Disney said, "the more you are like yourself, the less you are like anyone els...

Character..

Character is the aggregate sum total of one's distinctive moral and mental qualities. Every man has in himself a continent of undiscovered character, however it is not a natural endowment we are born with.  It is something that each individual forms of itself, with a continuous process in every thought, every action, every deed, every feeling which contributes to the education  faculty of our attitudes and habits.  Character is just like cloud of smoke, it can never be concealed or hidden because it will find its way out. Character is a magnet that attracts the right people to you. It is the real foundation of all worth while success.  "Thoughts leads on purposes, purposes go forth in action, action from habits, habits decides character, and character defines our destiny" (Tryon Edwards). Would your reputation recognize your character if they met in the dark? Would the boy you were be proud of the man you are?
