REVENGE

✍I learnt that seeking revenge could cause more harm than good.

✍If the man had left without bothering to kick the cow back, he would have gained a bucket of milk.

In an attempt to revenge, he lost everything inside his bucket.

There is a bucket of milk in our hands. It may be a promotion we have laboured for, a friendship we have built for years, marriage, job, health, baby you have been praying for, admission to higher institution, marriage etc. Seeking revenge may lead to loss of any of these.

Just forgive, let go and move on so that greater things will not be lost.

Is it not even ridiculous that the man tried to kick the cow back instead of running with his bucket of milk?

✍Let us look around us, there are cows that will kick us, by deliberating hurting us, daily or at any given opportunity  when we are trying to achieve our dreams in life.

They want us to kick them back so that our buckets of milk will become empty.

We should just learn to ignore them by letting go and walking away…

HOW DO YOU LEAD?

A young man saw his primary school teacher at a wedding ceremony.
He went to greet him with all respect and admiration!!

He said to him:
“Can you still recognize me Sir?’

‘I don’t think so!!’, said the Teacher, ‘could you please remind me how we met?’

The student recounted:
“I was your Student in the 3rd Grade, I stole a Wrist watch belonging to my then classmate because it was unique and fascinating.

My Classmate came to you crying that his Wrist Watch had been stolen and you ordered all Students in the class to stand on a straight line, facing the wall with our hands up and our eyes closed so you could check our pockets. At this point, I became jittery and terrified of the outcome of the search. The shame I will face after other Students discovered that I stole the Watch, the opinions my Teachers will form about me, the thought of being named a ‘ thief’ till I leave the School and my Parents’ reaction when they get to know about my action. All these thoughts flowing across my heart, when suddenly it was my turn to be checked. I felt your hand slipped into my pocket and you brought out the Watch. I was gripped with fear, expecting the worse to be announced. I was surprised I didn’t hear anything, but Sir, you continued searching other Students’ pockets till you got to the last person.

When the search was over, you asked us to open our eyes and sit on our Chairs. I was afraid to sit because I was thinking you will call me out soon after everyone was seated.

But to my amazement, you showed the watch to the class, gave it to the owner and you never mentioned the name of the one who stole the watch.
You didn’t say a word to me, and you never mentioned the story to anyone.

Throughout my stay in the school, no Teacher or Student knew what happened. This incident naturally taught me a great lesson and I resolved in my heart never to get myself involved in taking whatever is not mine.
I thought to myself, you saved my dignity.”

“Do you remember the story now Sir? You can’t simply forget this story Sir!!”

The teacher replied, ‘ I vividly remember the story that I found the Watch in a pocket but i did not know in whose pocket the stolen Watch was found that day because I searched your pockets while I also had my eyes closed.”

In life, we need wisdom for everything we do. As Parents, Teachers, Leaders etc… We should be able to close our eyes to some things. Not all misbehaviour require punishment. Some will need encouragement, some mentoring and some monitoring. Be a Leader who impacts not one who shatters.

REALITIES OF RETIREMENT

1) You are no longer popular in your office.

2) Avoid going to your former office without invitation. Where it’s absolutely necessary inform an officer of your visit so that you can be received.

3) Know that not everyone liked you while at work & now have an opportunity to snob you.

4) Keep in touch with your coursemates as you grow in retirement because some Pharaohs in Egypt may not know your Joseph.

5) Attend celebration of coursemates. Its always a reunion with lots of fun.

6) Only a few of the people you assisted (including family members) will come around to see you often. To others you have nothing to offer.

7)Plan your days & follow your plan. Sometimes when you look at your uniform with all the medals, you have a feeling of emptiness. Get yourself occupied.

8) Traveling is great, visit places of interest and enjoy your travels.

9) Eat right, enjoy your meals but down on excessive consumption of alcohol, sugar, salt, fats and oils.

10) Do your medical check-up even when you feel healthy.
Enjoy your retirement.

NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
Build your own house where you will live in your old age.
Build businesses that will feed you in your old age.

Create conveniences that will engage you in your old age.

Build friendship and goodwill that will serve you in your old age.

Right now, start to be relevant in your mosque or Church and community so you could be reckoned with in your old age.

  • Old age could be very lonely and agonising formerly men who did not plan for it.
  • May you not become a liability on your children in your old age.
  • May your children not wish you an early death when they can’t manage you again in your old age.

An old age without penny in your pocket is a slow, agonising death sentence!
Be warned now…!

There are three categories of people you cannot do without as we are growing older, your family, people in your place of worship and childhood friends, who include your Old School mates.

Friends, take it or live it, at 60 and above, loneliness kills because the children you are working hard for now will go their way to raise their own immediate families and pursue their own destinies, just as we did now. At that time it’s these people in these 3- categories that take away loneliness and keep your company.

At 50 years and above, you have 10 to 15 years of active working life.
Respect friendship and value relationship.

TIPS ON HOW TO TRUST YOURSELF

Trust can help bring us closer to other people. Trusting others, such as family members and friends, can reassure us that we’ll be helped when we need it. It’s the foundation of any healthy relationship — including the relationship you have with yourself.

Trusting yourself can build up your confidence, make it easier for you to make decisions, and reduce your stress levels. And the good news is that even if you don’t trust yourself now, with some effort you can build up that trust over time.

There’s no one more important to trust than yourself. Sometimes we lose trust in ourselves after we make a mistake or after someone criticizes us harshly or constantly. It can feel more difficult to make decisions when you can’t trust yourself because you fear you’ll make the wrong choice. Or you might be more prone to criticizing your own decisions after you make them.

Building trust in yourself can help boost your decision-making skills and self-confidence. This can make life feel a little easier and much more enjoyable. Here are some tips to help you learn how to trust yourself:

Be yourself

If you fear how others will look at you or judge you, you might find it difficult to be yourself around other people. Acting like a different person than who you really are is a sign that you’re lacking self-confidence and trust in yourself. Other people will be able to sense that.

So how do you build up your trust enough to be yourself around others? When you start to feel insecure around others, remind yourself that it’s OK to be you. Start by practicing around the people you feel most comfortable with, like your friends and close family. Take note if you feel vulnerable or uncomfortable and keep spending time with these people until your insecure feelings start to disappear.

Once you can be yourself around other people, they’ll treat you with more trust. This can help you build up your trust in yourself.

Set reasonable goals

Often, we aim high with our goals. Instead of aiming to make $50,000 a year from our job, we aim to make $100,000. Instead of trying to complete a project in two weeks, we try to do it in one week. And setting our goals high can be a good thing, because it motivates us to work hard for what we want.

Unfortunately, setting goals that are too ambitious has a major downside. When we don’t reach our big goals, we experience failure. Failing often can reduce your self-confidence and ability to trust yourself.

Instead of setting one big goal, try setting many little goals that put you in the direction of your big goal. Doing so will make your big goal more realistic. You’ll also gain confidence and trust in yourself while accomplishing the smaller goals along the way.

Be kind to yourself

You’ve probably heard the term “unconditional love.” Maybe it’s been mentioned in relation to the connection a parent has with their child, or the love that exists between siblings, friends, or even romantic partners. But did you know that it’s also very important to love yourself unconditionally?

Loving yourself unconditionally means getting rid of negative thoughts about yourself and any self-criticism after you make a mistake. Start by keeping a close eye on your inner voice, and how it reacts to your actions. Is it kind or mean? Is it accepting or critical? When you can love yourself unconditionally, you can trust yourself unconditionally. And that builds confidence.

Build on your strengths

Everyone is better at some things and worse at others. You probably have a good idea of what things you excel at and which things you don’t do as well with. Trusting yourself means being able to attempt to do all kinds of things without judging yourself too harshly.

However, if you’re looking to build trust in yourself, it can be helpful to do more of the things that you’re good at and less of the things that you aren’t great at. If you’re not sure what you’re good at, ask those people closest to you. Spend more time doing those things and building your trust knowing you’ll excel at those things. Be accepting of your strengths, as well as your weaknesses.

Spend time with yourself

When you don’t trust yourself, you might feel uncomfortable spending time looking inward. You might try to keep busy all day by constantly getting involved in activities or thinking about small things outside of yourself. Break the habit of looking away from yourself by patiently looking inward.

You can look in with meditation. Try sitting with yourself in a quiet place for 5 to 15 minutes each day. Pay close attention to your breath and body. As any thoughts or self-criticisms pass by, acknowledge them and then let them go. Allowing time for this important one-on-one with yourself can build up your self-trust.

Be decisive

We lack trust in ourselves when we question our actions or decisions. Sometimes we might even question who we are. That can hurt.

Build trust in yourself by breaking your habit of questioning your decisions. Next time you make a choice, stick with it. Even if it turns out not to be the best choice, there’s no use beating yourself up over the decision you made.

The best you can do is to learn from your mistake. Believe that you’ll make a better choice next time, and move on. Doing so will help you learn to be more trusting of yourself and your decision-making skills.

You will be addressed the way you dress..

“LADIES DRESS DECENTLY”
One young lady arrived at a meeting wearing
clothes that were quite revealing her body parts.
Here is what the Boss told her:
He took a good look at her and made her sit.
Then he said something she will never
forget in her whole life.
He looked at her straight in the eyes and
said;
“Lady, everything that God made is valuable in
this world, is well covered and hardly to see, hardly
to find and hardly to get…
<·/*\·>
<·/*\·> Where do you find DIAMONDS??… Deep
down in
the ground, covered and protected.
<·/*\·>
<·/*\·> Where do you find the Biggest PHILIPPINE
PEARLS??…
Deep down at the bottom of the Palawan Ocean,
covered up and protected
in a beautiful shell.
<·/*\·>
<·/*\·> Where do you find GOLD??…
Way down in the
MINE, covered over with layers of rock and to
get them, you have to work hard and dig deep
down to get them. RIGHT??…
<·/*\·>
.
He looked at her with serious eyes and said;
“Your BODY is SACRED and UNIQUE”
You are far more precious than DIAMONDS,
PEARLS
and GOLD, and your body should be well covered
too.

So, he added if you keep your TREASURED
MINERAL just like diamonds, pearls, and gold
deeply covered up, a REPUTABLE mining
organization with the requisite machinery will
fly down and conduct YEARS of EXTENSIVE
EXPLORATION…
.
First, they will contact your government
{FAMILY},
sign professional contracts {WEDDING}
and mine you professionally { LEGAL MARRIAGE}
But if you leave your PRECIOUS MINERALS
uncovered on the SURFACE of the EARTH, you
always attract a lot of ILLEGAL MINERS to come
and mine you illegally.

Everybody will just pick up their CRUDE
INSTRUMENT and just have a dig on you just
freely like that.
.
Keep your bodies DEEPLY COVERED so that it
INVITE PROFESSIONAL miners to chase you…
Let us ALL ENCOURAGE our SISTERS,
DAUGHTERS,WIVES, and FRIENDS
to DRESS WELL DECENTLY…
AM I TALKING SENSE?
