OUR TEENAGERS NEED GOOD MENTORS. PART 3 -MARY BELLO

School an institution for leaning. Now, my question is ; for learning what?  In this part of the world where school is a place of favouritism and tribalism from primary to tertiary, where teachers are proud and praised for their ability to flog students mercilessly. Shool and institutions for learning,  learning almighty formula, essay writing, economics, skeleton , osmosis and all that? School is a very big institution for indirect learning, in reality it is where you learn low self-esteem because you are sitting at the back, where teachers show special love to some students while ingnoring others, where you learn condemnation because after failing a subject twice then it is not your calling, where you learn talking people down because your teachers can't stop telling you how and why you won't progress due to your parents inability to provide you with textbooks, where you learn bribery in other to get good grades by gifting your subject teachers. Where you learn ir...

ALL YOU HAVE YOU SHALL GIVE AWAY.

Life is all about giving, it is an honourable thing to do, a duty for all of us, life itself is a gift given and at the end of every life is a giving up of whatever the soul has acquired.  Regardless of the kind of life that soul chose to live, wether good or bad, successful or not, rich, famous and fulfilled or poor, you shall give away all you have. Most human beings find it very difficult to give freely and willingly for whatever reason best known to them,  some others give only when they are asked while just a few give cheerfully, willingly and happily.  We have the opportunity to choose where we wish to belong among the above listed group of people only when we are alive, but what do you do when you die? Do you have any other choice but one? At death, we cannot hide from giving away all that we have, you only have the chance to decide how you want to give it, through makinh a will, maybe by giving to charity, your children, or to some unknown persons, so...

BE TOUGHER THAN THE TOUGH TIMES. - ALLI QUADRI OLALEKAN (CEO, QUADOOWEAR)

Encouraging someone to be tougher than the tough times really depends on the person in question, I said this because for the little time I have spent on earth I have noticed different kind of people, some people are not afraid to dream big and be the best they can be, which makes them face different situation, yet they look forward to even worse situations that will slowly and progressively make them better with time.  In the other hand, some people are so full of doubt and fear. They will never dream big in life, they enjoy their situation and condition, they see life as unfair and see themselves as unfortunate, out of ignorant of who they really are and the power they have over their situations, they continue to believe the lies.  These two kinds of people have different mindset and so they respond to "Be tougher than rough times " differently. So, like Jesus, i will not waste my time addressing this message to those who have no faith, rather, i am preaching this t...

FINDING YOUR PATH. -ALLI QUADRI OLALEKAN (CEO, QUADOOWEAR)

To find one's path is to find one's purpose and destiny, to do the unpopular, to be different from the crowd, to go at your own pace, to live love on your own terms and align your disordered self with the perfect order in the universe, to live a life that other people will appreciate, admire and want to follow. Finding your path in life is to let your light shine so brigt that the people will see it and glorify your Father in heaven (Matt. 5: 16). Finding your path makes your original, different and unique. You follow "the narrow gate" (Matt. 7:13). To find your path, you must go in opposite direction to the world. Man makes no major effect in life his early stage, he is being acted upon. Man's early life is mostly spent  on learning his environment which is still strange to him and continues to marvel him. He looks at his surrounding in awe and amazement of how plants grow, how living beings become pregnant and deliver their  youngs, and why people die,...

GIVE IT TIME, ENOUGH TIME. - ALLI QUADRI OLALEKAN. CEO, QUADOOWEAR

Life is directly proportional to time, and to say you have life or you are alive is to say you have time, life and time are just two words that mean the same thing, just like 48 hours and 2days means the same. Life is based solely on two concepts; time and space, these two are the only constants, life itself is a provision of the two. The two  (time and space) can never exist separate from eachother for thay are dependent on eachother, there has to be a space for an occourence, there has to be a time when an occourence happens, the experiencing of time and space is what is called an "event". So we cannot say I am writting (event) this message without knowing or having a place (space), and when (time)  am performing this act. You can never be reading this message (event) without being in a place (space) and having a moment (time) seperated from your busy schedule to perform this act. Can you cook beans (event) in your kitchen (place) in ten minutes? Can you expe...

OUR TEENAGERS NEED GOOD MENTORS. - BELLO MARY #BellzWrites

If its just one voice that remain available and never relent, truly I say onto you; our teenagers will yield out good fruit. If the scripture that says, "if the foundation is destroyed, what can the righteous do?" Makes no meaning and be it no good for thought for this generation, then  truly, nothing will righteousness and all things that come with it do when the wickeds come in the night to put weeds among wheats, I see a lot of weeds in the life of wheats of our teenagers. We all have this mustard seed around us that is waiting to be planted, then grows to be the biggest tree. I believe our teenagers need confidants.  What is your work as a mother of your girl child cannot tell you about this uncle that promised to buy her everything she needs? Because she fears you blaming her rapid growth, cursing the uncle and chasing her friends away in the name of protection. What is your work as a father if your male child will stop drumming and singing? Because he fear...

WHY START-UPS FAIL

Why do start-ups fail?  I saw this question on a friend's Facebook wall and the first thing I did was to stop and think,  really,  why do start-ups fail?   I took my time to think,  I wanted to reply with impressive response so I thought deeply and searched my soul for answers.  I was receiving answers such as lack of capital,  people problems,  government policies and all those things that they tell us in conventional business seminars but all these didn't convince me, they are not the reasons for start-up failure as far as I am concerned,  so I asked myself, what will I respond to this question?  Suddenly,  something pop up in my mind,  the answer just arrived shinning so bright like the sun and lighting up my mind.  The answer is so simple that I would overlook it and go for bigger reasons or bigger grammars to convince the world that I know what I am saying,  but it is not the big and ...

DONT BE IN A HURRY! -AUGUSTINE OMOIFO

Tuesday Insight:   Never be in a hurry to get somewhere. Let the process lead you there. Growth is the only true teacher that strengthens us into perfection. As we work on this journey of life we must learn to be patient with life. We must allow life take us through the necessary hoops; from place to place and stage to stage. We must allow ourselves grow and mature in that path and character that life has decided to manifest in and through us. ... Each step is necessary for the evolution of man. Each experience is needed to build the man up and bring him/her into that space of true self belief. It's only when man truly begins to believe in himself (in the abilities he has within) that he will become capable of fulfilling his greatest purpose in life, but he must allow life build that confidence in him, using what ever means or expression life feels will best help him attain the perfection he needs to attain. We must learn to patiently work with life following the...
