The Scales ⚖️✍

I have discovered from my own personal research that people give up good relationships/friendships that could have brought joy, if well managed just for flimsy excuses. I decided to give hints on what to ponder before you decide to quit that relationship. There's no perfect human, hence no perfect marriage, no perfect relationship. In as much as there'll be good times, there are also going to be bad times. But wait a minute, do you have to quit in that bad and trying time of your relationship? So before you quit any relationship, have these to ponder; 1. WILL IT GIVE YOU PEACE If doing it will make you rest of mind and you are okay with that, then go ahead and walk away. 2. ARE YOU DOING IT BECAUSE FRIENDS WANT YOU TO» Don't quit a good relationship all because your friends want you to. He that wears the shoe, knows where it pitches him. Find out first if they are speaking out of jealousy. If they have good reasons and you see it with them, then the choice is all yours, a...

I have come to discover that apart from the grace of God; about 85% of your success in life is going to be determined by your social skills. By your social skills, I mean your ability to interact positively and effectively with others and to get them to cooperate with you to achieve your goals, dreams, and visions. Learning to develop and maintain superior human relationships can do more for your career, business, ministry and for your personal life than probably almost anything else you can accomplish. It is a colossal error for you to believe that it's only God you need to succeed in life and you won't need people. You don't have to be dependent on people but you still need them all the same. I believe it will interest you to know that God works through people virtually all the time. So there is no way you won't have to deal with people. Take note that occasions that enable you to interact with people, especially remarkable people, are opportunities for you to succeed...

I have a word for someone reading this post. The world is waiting for you. Yes, the world is indeed waiting for what you can offer. Everyone in this world has something to give to this world that otherwise cannot be provided. This is a truth that must be known and believed by every living soul. I have always wondered what would have happened to our modern world if Alexander Graham Bell had not discovered the telephone in him, if the Wright brothers had died with the airplane in them or if William Shakespeare had refused to release the books in him. Someone invented the car we drive today, discovered and harnessed the electricity we are using today, invented the various machinery in our industries, and invented the computer that has become an integral part of our lives today. Someone discovered the chair in the tree and gold in the dust. Someone fought against slavery, racism, injustice, and colonialism. Some people fought for the independence your country is enjoying today. Some people...

I have come to discover that there is so much confusion in the world today about education and intelligence. A lot of people have equated intelligence with education. The belief of such people is that once you are educated, it automatically means you are intelligent and smart. Hmmmn! How wrong they are! The absolute truth is that education is not the same as intelligence. In fact, they are miles apart. I have met a lot of educated fools and I have also met a lot of intelligent illiterate people. Education can be referred to as knowledge acquired in formal learning environments, such as schools, academies, institutes, etc while Intelligence is the actual capacity to learn(formally or informally), acquire, assimilate, and make proper use of knowledge. The wrong concept that education equals intelligence has been pushed on us so hard that few people ever get totally past it, even as they grow older. The truth is that you can be highly Intelligent without being highly educated and you can ...

I have come to realize that pride is nothing but the result of ignorance. If you see any man or woman walking in pride, they are simply displaying their lack of knowledge. If you are not ignorant as a proud person, you will definitely know that whatever is making you proud is not yours, to begin with. Whatever is giving you a swollen head or pumped-up shoulders is not yours in the real sense of it. It was given to you by God. Is it Money or Wealth that is making you arrogant? Deuteronomy 8:18 makes it clear that it is God that gives you and me the power to create or get wealth. If God has not crowned your efforts with success, there is no amount of labor exerted that would have yielded any result. Is it beauty or handsomeness that has made you as proud as a peacock? Remember you didn't create yourself. So what are you puffed up about? I want you to also remember that a day is coming when wrinkles will appear on that fine face as old age begins to set in. Is it knowledge or Intelli...

If a smile would hitch me a ride If a fight could win me a bride If a cry would save ma hideous hide If light could keep this "righteous blind" If a mile would do for the slide If a kite could do the glide Maybe the gentle sky would stem this tumultuous tide Maybe its deceptively alluring sight won't leave me fried If this rising bile would stay deep inside So this delicious bite can be an elixir for my mind Maybe then I could be right and not so wild Perhaps I would then win back my little pride If I could change the hands of time If I could change the fortune of these times But I am the Man that I am, Living the times that I am
