SUCCESS IN QUESTION

Everyone wishes to be successful come what may. Some are not concerned about the means by which their success is achieved. Be it legal or legit or illegal, dubious, and evil. Not even the welfare of others is taken into consideration as they seek to progress in their various fields of endeavor. Why would you want to be successful if it will only benefit your selfish interest and not the people around you? God blesses us not because of our interest but for the interest of all around us else, that blessing becomes useless.

As we strive so hard to attain success, let us try as much as possible to lay behind a remarkable legacy that will set us apart from the crowd. The desire to be successful is not a bad feeling but the way that success is attained is the problem. Success is supposed to bring fulfillment, integrity, dignity, self-respect, and happiness. Gaining it through dubious means only comes to accomplish the opposite of the stated values.

Success can be achieved without the use of dubious means. Let’s bring into limelight the attitude of great historians who lived and made a great impact on the earth without indulging in evil practices. Taking into consideration the life of the highly praised Jesus Christ. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Junior, Nelson Mandela, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Professor Mahatma Gandhi, and many other heroes in history, they never had anything to do with evil practices. This is the difference we must seek to emulate as we strive to attain the height of success. We may not be celebrated widely as the above mentioned but deep within our hearts, we are going to feel fulfilled.

IS YOUR CHOICE TO BE RICH OR POOR.

Your background has nothing to do with your future financial status. How your financial status becomes in the future is a decision and option solely reserved for your intellect. Poverty is not an inheritance but rather a decision we make based on our thoughts. We choose to be poor and wealthy depending on what we think and act upon. Even those have the rare privilege or opportunity to inherit the wealth of a relation or parent are also faced with the option of maintaining the legacy or destroying based on the decisions, steps, and actions they take. Proper management skills will make them maintain the legacy whereas extravagant and irresponsible spending may cause them to waste the wealth down the drain. The potential to make wealth has been given to us and only our mind-set will help us activate it. Our ability to think critically and make sound decisions is key to unveiling and activating these potentials. Like a sword can be used to attack and defend...

EVERY LIFE MATTERS

Far beyond the wisdom of men, the creator chose to create us in His uniqueness. Some he painted black, white, and others He gave the color yellow with each bearing special qualities. What happens to dynamism if we all are the same. What happens to leadership if we all have the same abilities. Who becomes a follower if we all have prevalent ideas and insight concerning a thing. Who becomes the student if we all have the same in-depth information and knowledge. Come to think of it, we can never and ever in any way be the same because it will make society imbalance and unstable. As the ecosystem comprises of different organisms living together with different roles, we must learn to appreciate everyone's uniqueness and accept and live with them for who they are. Under no circumstance should we allow color and background to make us undermine anybody let alone have a friction with them? Remember our color and our background are not decisions or choices we have made by ourselves. It ...
