I Believe

I BELIEVE by Femi Oguntolu

It looks bleak but I believe it

It looks weak but I won't leave it

It has a lot of foes but it will thrive

It has a lot of woes but it will survive

I can't see it but I dream it

I can't think it but I scream it

It looks absurd but I will see it

It is unsung but I won't flee it

It is the fruitful future of Nigeria.

Dedicated to Nigeria; a country in whose future I strongly believe in.

Nigeria At 55: Look Back...Look Forward.

Yesterday, we celebrated our 55th independence anniversary and while pondering on what to write to commemorate our 55th independence day celebration, I discovered there are a lot of perspectives I could write from. So many topics and issues quickly raced through my mind, like, '55 Years After; How far so far?' 'Independence or Dependence, Where are we going? Etc. But in the midst of it all something exceptional dropped on my mind; which is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving? Yes. Thanksgiving. Many would be quick to analyse, condemn, discuss and compare the state of the nation being 55 years after we got independence, well, that's not bad.

Ask any 55 years old man and he will tell you it has been rough and tough, appointments and disappointments, joys and sorrows, ups and downs, successes and failures, but yet he will be grateful for the privilege of being alive to see 55. How does Nigeria fit in...

Therefore I attempted to learn more about weakness and thus I'm sharing with you my discoveries about weaknessess. First,  a weakness is a crack in your wall. When you don’t master a weakness, it leaves you exposed, helpless and defenceless. Those who don’t pay attention to their fallibility fall in disgrace and face dismays.  Examples of weakness include but not limited to, Lack of organization, Exaggeration,, Discontentment, Gluttony, Procrastination, Lack of time management, Lust, Excessive spending, Anger, Jealousy, Impatience, Pride.

Monday Morning Motivation ; Attitude is Everything

Monday Morning Motivation (M-Cube) Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Attitude is simply a mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways. Simply put, it's the way we act due to the mental picture and belief system formed within us. This makes attitude a product of the mind; thoughts. It is how you see the things around you, how you deal with the situations you face, and what you think about life. You've got to listen to yourself. If you sound like "God, my life is so difficult. I will never be rich... Everything works against me.... Everyone hates me...” then, you have a problem. Many times what hinders us from progressing in life and being the best is a negative attitude. A negative attitude is like a flat tyre, if you don't change it you're going nowhere. Even though we can't control the obstacles on our ways, we can control our attitude.
