In the jungle: 1. The Elephant is the biggest; 2. The Giraffe is the tallest; 3. The Fox is the wisest; 4. The Cheetah is the fastest; Yet, the Lion is the KING of the jungle even without ANY of these qualities. Why? Because: 1. The Lion is courageous, bold, walks with confidence, dares anything and is never afraid. 2. The Lion believes it is unstoppable. 3. The Lion is a risk taker. 4. The Lion believes any animal is food for him. 5. The Lion believes any opportunity is worth giving a trial and never lets it slip from its hands. So... 1. You don't need to be the fastest. 2. You don't need to be the wisest. 3. You don't need to be the smartest. 4. You don't need to be the most brilliant. 5. All you need is *courage* 6. All you need is the *will to try*. 7. All you need is the *faith* to believe it *is possible*. 8. All you need is to believe in yourself, that *you can* do it because you are connected to Christ and you are one with Him. ...
Please read this carefully and get your son or daughter to read it too. This post is about what happened in a typical middle-class household. The son didn’t like living in his father’s house. This was because of his father’s constant ‘nagging’; “You are leaving the room without switching off the fan” “The TV is on in the room where there is no one. Switch it off!” “Keep the pen in the stand; it is fallen down” The son didn’t like his father nagging him for these minor things. He had to tolerate these things till yesterday since he was with them in the same house. But today, however, he had an invitation for a job interview. “As soon as I get the job, I should leave this town. There won’t be any nagging from my father” were his thoughts. As he was about to leave for the interview, the father advised: “Answer the questions put to you without any hesitation. Even if you don’t know the answer, mention that confidently.” His gave him more money than he actually needed to attend the in...
Never mistake a shovel for a spade... Yeah, both look similar but very different. Same thing applies to movement and progress. The fact that you're spending time on whatever you're doing doesn't mean you're making progress in life; don't get me wrong! "The speed of movement and distance covered doesn't count once you begin rowing towards the wrong direction". How would you look at an engineering student who misses his lectures just to attend medical students' lectures? Or a person who's actual destination is Enugu but decides to enter a bus heading to Lagos??? Of course he's making a movement, but that doesn't mean that there's a progress tag on his actual aim. People at home might think there's progress on his journey, but is that actually true?? He will arrive Lagos, which is actually better than Enugu in terms of development, but does that grant him a successful journey, NO! The journey is only successful if y...
