What you are looking for in the far distant part of the land is not far from where you are living. ~ An adage from the southwestern part of Nigeria It takes a careful observation to discover that it's a lot easier to use what is known to explain what's unknown than to use what is unknown to explain what is known. Galileo once wrote, "You cannot teach a person what he does not already know, you can only bring what he does know to his awareness" And this article is based on this remarkable principle. An interesting analogy can be drawn from the principles of operations of a car, which has become part of our lives, can be applicable in enhancing our lifestyle. This is an excerpt from my guest post on nuggets4nobles blog and it's centered on 5 simple principles you already know but relating these known facts with something you can feel in your emotion creates a whole new understanding that is unique in itself. You can read it here or click the pictu...

I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am moved only by what I believe. ~ Smith Wigglesworth. A picture paints a thousand words and that was exactly how I felt after looking at one particular picture, actually, I think it was just a few hundreds. Nevertheless, I was considering a picture some days ago, a picture of 2 guys on a ship, one obviously a Captain and the other, a Sailor. Both of them were looking beyond the horizon, suddenly the Captain cried out; LAND HO! I CAN SEE OUR DESTINATION STRAIGHT AHEAD! But the sailor looked and said; I don't see anything! Now, you might ask, how come this captain saw the destination but the sailor couldn't, at least both of them have eyes. And this is where the whole gist got interesting. The captain, of course had an extra gadget with him - the telescope but the experienced sailor didn't. The only difference between the Captain and the Sailor in this picture is just the telescope. The ...

"What I want to do, that I do not do but what I hate, that I do" ~ Apostle Paul There is this general conception that we all have a body, soul and spirit somewhere and somehow, within us. Well, it seems to me, the word "Spirit" is also widely accepted among scientists, some call it a disposition (somebody's personality or temperament), others call it the life force of a person (the vital force that characterizes a human being as being alive). Now, we are not here to debate on the right definition, but... The tiny question that pops up in my mind many years ago wasn't why do people behave this way or that way but how do people behave this way or that way , I think it was due to the fact that I was tired of learning the negative side of people, wanted to know more about the best side of people. If you are expecting a complete methodology or procedures of steps human beings take to make decisions, then you need to read this, because it...

…they carried the village with them to the city and converted the city to a village. --Mensa Otabil Though the practice of democratic governance is now widespread in Africa, one soiled attitude (termed the village mentality) has extended its roots into the mental fabric of several African leaders and is diminishing their efficiency at solving the continent’s problems.  Over the years, each foregoing generation of leaders seemed to have passed on the baton of village mentality to its successors. As Mensa Otabil once put it, " they carried the village with them to the city and converted the city to a village."  Before I establish my thoughts on the transition of this meretricious mentality from the village to the city, let's make some facts known. Preceding the dramatic revolution in the political ideas of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the prosperity of an European country largely depended on the quality of its monarch (whether King...

"What you are hearing is creating what you are feeling and your personal happiness is influenced by the words that come out of your mouth" ~ Mike Murdock Can it be said that anything that operates in the realm of the intangible operates in the realm of the spirit? It's believed that everything that happens in our physical (tangible) world was first conceived in the spiritual (intangible), take for example, every invention started from an idea which is intangible in nature. Maybe, this saying is true after all; the spiritual births the physical. Recently, I've been fascinated by some stuffs and one of them is the word "Lullaby" , how come a soft music have a tremendous effect on a baby who doesn't even understand one plus one, I mean, how come such soft music soothes a baby, definitely, there must be some form of mystery behind such music. So, I decided to observe a lunatic man who is supposed to be in the psychiatric hospital but fo...

"Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right" - Abraham Lincoln The perception of the Right side is definitely not talking about direction but it's a nonliteral expression of being on the Right side of something good and the Right Triangle obviously, is another name for Right angle Triangle. The illustration of the Right Triangle was borne out of curiosity, it was to understand a question, What if God's plan for my life was to move me from point A to point C but because of my free will to choose my direction all by myself and also because of some other factors I might have failed to consider, I found myself in position B. Why on the face of God's green earth should I say it was God who ordered my step to point B in the first place! ...If only I could differentiate how God ordered my steps there and the place of my own error, then probably, I'm on the right...

You are a spirit who possess a soul and lives in a body. These words have been etched into my memory from a tender age, with almost a thousand reasons why we are a Spirit but I couldn't feel the proof in my emotions until now. I was reading one of my favorite author's book one day and the guy wrote something peculiar about dreams and imagination and almost immediately, an unrelated insight pricked my mind "A proof that we are really a spirit who possess a soul and lives in a body. After sharing this proof with a friend, he said; ...this article must have been a continuation of the second article you published; Why The Human Spirit Can Achieve So Much. Honestly, I haven't thought of that...   Now, to the proof… Have you ever had a dream? Yea, I know, it looks like a trick question, believe me, it’s not...Alright, without mincing words and to make this article short as possible, my proof is based on the verity that dream, imagination and experi...

Give every man more in use value than you take from him in cash value; then you are adding to the world by every business transaction. - Watter Wallace All monies are values but not all values are monies. To proof this fact, let’s consider this... Do you know that at the back of a British 10 pound note is written? "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the SUM of 10 pounds" I quickly checked the synonym of the word " sum " and there it was " value ", if I'll have to paraphrase it will be; "I promise to pay the bearer on demand the VALUE of 10 pounds" There you have it! What do you think? A misconstrue understanding of these two keywords - Value and Money, has affected some individuals such that they fail woefully under the test of conflict of interests. A wise man said to add value to anybody or anything find at least a need and try to meet this need with all Excellency . I was of the school of thought tha...
