                    ACHIEVERS   I have been to institutions of learning where the graduating students are celebrated.  We were encouraged to eulogize their outstanding qualities that we would love to emulate and we often get the chance to present this piece during the graduation ceremonies.They were like victors coming back from an epic war, like conquerors who just won new colonies for their fatherland, like Nigerian footballers winning the world cup for the first time, l Those that ended with a 2.2 draw (second class lower), those who beat the system narrowly on 2.1(second class upper), and of course a good number of those with flawless victory; first class graduate abound in their number even from the school system  hitherto notorious for not producing first class. So much for academic achievement (well that is the primary yardstick), they are more than just intellectuals, how much for their sporting prowess, sens...

A philosopher says that "OLD TONGUE LOVE TO WAG" but the fact is that they don't talk anyhow,they talk from their past experience and they don't want you to make the same mistake they made when they were young. I am not moved by what people say but i am moved by what they do with what they say.A leader is not measured by the number of people He leads but by the potency of His words. A wise man can only be known from the way He speaks likewise a fool.You cannot lead properly without your mind and mouth. He that has lost anything does not loose all but He that has lost His mouth and mind has lost all. A rich man is not known by the amount of resources He has only but by the intensity of words that proceeds out of His mouth.I will not measure how old you are by the number of years you have spend or lived but by the quality of words you speak.      Many people have made their age to put them in bondage. A poor man is not a man without money,a poor man is a man witho...

        There are 2 categories of people: 1. The people that think before they talk 2. The people that talk before they think   When you think before you talk,you can never regret your statement but on the other hand when you talk before you think,it is most certain that your statement will be regretted. There are 2 categories of thinkers: i.The good thinkers:They are good talkers. ii.The bad thinkers        I don't know the secret to success but the secret to failure is to talk before you think.                            Great men are great thinkershi                            Great thinkers are great talkers           ...

Civilization and Democracy is in danger if those that have not learned how to talk are given the right to lead. The leader of the 21st century must learn to tame His mouth because the watch dog(journalists) are there to publish your word in the media and expose your act of illiteracy. President David Palmer in the movie "24 HOURS" said "Until a leader learns to manage the interaction of those He leads,He will not be given the right to lead them". A leader must not be a talkative or a gossiper. The leading class is the speakers class and the speakers class is the thinkers class.You don't call a man a talkative when He speaks too much but you can call Him a loquacious fellow when the little He speaks is not necessary.     Don't talk when you have not think,don't use your mouth when you have not used your mind. A poet wrote in His poem(TAKING A STEP) that "Let your head rule your heart,let your mind rule your mouth,let your thoughts rule your talk...

      I don't talk when i feel like talking, I don't talk because it is my right,I don't talk because other people are talking,I only talk when i want to put lasting smile on peoples faces and when it is necessary. When you talk when you feel like talking,people will not give you the respect you ought to be given . Someone said that "If you don't inspect yourself people will not respect you". Before you can be a good leader,you need to be a positive thinker,before you can be a good speaker,you need to be an effective listener,before you can be a good reader you need to be a good thinker.      Thinking does not actually mean worrying because bad thought is worry.Some people worry about what to eat,some worry about what to wear ,others worry about what tomorrow holds but the greatest worry is the worry about what to say. Some people will say that I want to talk because other people are talking,have you forgotten that these same people you are hoping to put...

       I am   very much afraid when i see young people that are yet to discover purpose or find a place in life . All they do is to desire to be great but after getting their desire the biggest question comes which is WHAT NEXT? Until you stop asking the question[What next] you are not yet fulfilled man. It is one thing to desire to get to the peak of academics[PHD],its to the another thing to have a conviction in your heart that you are in the right track.Being in your race is what will deliver grace to you that will never make you to be disgraced in life.      Most of lives poor and mediocres does not come from the mile and dunghill, they came from the palace and places of comfort and convenience.       The desires of every young people in my generation that have given me much concern has been {I want to travel aboard or to America and i also want to be wealthy}. You can never be wealthy by the desires of your heart,...

      Traveling abroad is not bad, infact it gives you a sense of feeling that you are exposed and knowledgeable about the happiness in your world. It makes you to have cultural diversity and international participation It is very good to have friends all over the world. It is a small world anyway, so what or who is stopping you from enjoying life or visiting places. You are not qualified to cross borders or boundaries until you have made, broke and set records in your local boundary. Becoming a man of global relevance is not a day job a lot of people have travelled abroad and has become a liability to the white man’s land all in the name of making a living not knowing that the land they left is already flowing with milk and honey which only the sleeping giant in them could deliver to them if only they could awaken, arise and discover themselves. Your presence is supposed to be for shopping, solving political economic, social, moral, educational and spirit...
