SELFLESSNESS- PART 3

Selflessness is an uncommon virtue and history cannot be forgotten without memoirs about Madiba's contribution to live and breathe life,into this virtue.This is strange ethos in the continent where most leaders would have changed the constitution to enable them run for second and if possible unlimited terms.In lowliness and meekness,esteem others better than yourself and in the words of Lao Tzu,we must endeavour to erase our ignorance.He wrote:Be gentle and you can be bold;be frugal and you can be liberal;avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men'Can you see that?So,the act of selflessness is bred in the act of denial and sacrifice and requires empathy,compassion,humanism,selfdiscipline,self control and patience which take time to breed.Selfless encourages you to fight against greed and abuse of power,fight aggainst institutional injustice and brutal oppression.Little wonder,he was reported to have repeated many times that courage was not absence of fear but triumph over it.

The book was compiled by Nelson Mandela Foundation from his personal letters,interviews etc,contains a foreword by Barack Obama. That is selflessness at its peak and can onlybe found in a selfless person like that. He said he would have prefered to serve in that govt.or ANC without taking any position and that was why he served one term five years.The question is;how can a man who served his people wholeheartedly and was imprisoned for 27yrs unjustly,some served at the Robben Island,could stoop so low to allow another man to share his own glory.Even God as they say,will not share his glory with any man,but mandela did that until he was forced to take his glory.What a ridiculous statement but it was true because,he said it himself.The world is full of evil and manifold atrocities today just because selflessness is dead

SELFLESSNESS-part 1

Selflessness is an uncommon expertise of the heart,mind and spirit and it is beyond what the body language can speak.When selflessness is grossly lacking in a mordern society,it will be a hell of a place to live and compassion like love is dead where selfishness as a moral virtue is exalted.Life is unfair and unequal where compassion is dead and rather than pays the true price of freedom,man is enslaved by its own undoings of moral decadence.He who is determined to clean the augean stable,this excreta must he scavenge and then the path of freedom,he attained by sacrificing his life and energy for his freedom. In one of the books,published before his death,Nelson Mandela the great antiapartheid campaigner noted he never wanted to become the president of his country.But rather preffered a younger person to mount the saddle as the first postapartheid blackruler.In the book;'Conversations With Myself',that he wasforced to accept the mantle of leadership by African National Congress( A.N.C.) leaders who put a lot

" That is even before they are hatched! Once you are not driven by the dictionary of the fools,in which impossibility is boldly written,you'll be forced to explore your lifetime value and "he can,who thinks he can and he cant who thinkr he cant" Orison Marden.These items are value drivers and we should realise no man's success will ever reach beyond his own confidence and ratio of time investment.In life,there is a season for planting and another for harvest and in between them time flies,regardless of whether you loose or succeed.A human seeds takes 9months,takes 6months for rice to grow,takes a seed of rabbit,it grows and reaps in 31 days time and it takes an elephant seed 22months to germinate.The flight of time,the growing price and the escalating cost,it disposes cannot create a threat and a risk to any success

TIME FLIES-PART 6

Dont waste on those things that barely add a notch to your lifetime value and stop unwarranted delays.If your past is full of delays,of painful memories,of endless sorrows and squandered times,dont worry,you should forget them and try as much as possible, to start again,and if your strives arent good enough,put in more nerves and assume bigger task. You needed more commitment to put more energy in the mission.So,theflight of time,is too trickish to detect and conscious of itssubconscious powers,a wise investment even by volatile time managers will avail much.The three enemies of personal peace and progress which include regrets over past mistakes,ingratitude over today's blessings and anxiety over tommorrow's unknown challenges and problems.They can slow down human artistic reflections and a clog in the wheel of progress.Let us realise according to George Coolman that"For each new day,praise the bridge that carried over"to the next stage,and"Gratitude"according to William Faulkner,"is a quality similar

Mark Batterson once noted" If you dont control your calendar,your calendar will control you" It is your networth,littlewonder Alan Kein said that"Time is life",and popular adage that says"Time is money,"could not have thought differently,that the truest money is in fact time and not the fiduciary artificial equivalent."Until you value yourself,you will not value your time.Until you value your time,you will not do anything with it". Those are the marbled utterrances and golden gems of Scott Peck. When you begin to value,the most important priority items on your calendar,then i can boldly say,you have begun to value your time. Your Family,your vision time,strategic planning,delegation method etc are must do priority items and also target you meet each day optimises optimal value of time.This truest lifestyle management is by apriori or posteriori,an indication of wise time management,with strategic intention to pluck plausible and favourable effect.Now let move onto discipline and discipline is basically the...

The cloud above is mourning,who will console her?What counterpoise?what countermeasure,rather for a countermarch,of an animal of the cosmos,standing berserk,like a lion counchant?The cloud is mourning who will give her breast,with which nature enroute the sky,is breastfed,even beyond her council chamber?The cloud is mourning,for being adrift and barren,who will impregnate her?No lords of dickesian plow and cimmerian darkness ever fathom her boon and so the ferment mourns;for her good samaritan,is far awayor at a stonethrow distance.Who is then is worthy to place her and open the floodgate of her grandiose treasure? O Kismet Thou art worthy to loose its seal and solely reserved the unspeakable honour to do this imponderables.What will you give her that like a child she might breastfeed from her mother's breast?"Oh I remember nothing but sea current,recycled and repackaged above.Plead thee,my pedagogue,what is that?I dare not say it but ponder!ponder! please what is it?""Oh I Can remember,rains,rains,distant

,so beware even though you already claim so.Hence,great achievements are time greatest investment by wise time managers and great achievements are not made by chance.So,going an extramile,requires extraordinary time investment and all achievers are by mandate committed to pay this timely driven price of freedom.The price of freedom is invested in the cost of time.How come Leonardo Davinci was a man who could write and draw with one hands and draw with the other.That madness of patience andartistry,needed time to hone its leverage.For goodness sake,how could a mortal man like us,spent twelve years painting Mona Lisa lips alone.Imagine,just the lips alone!Today,Mona Lisa,or better known as La Gioconda in Italian,has become or widely acclaimed as the most widely talked about painting,the best known,most visited,most written about,most sung about and most elaborate work of art and most parodied work of art in the whole world.This most popular painting though its source has been widely disputed is nevertheless

Ideas flow with time and the frequencies and sometimes its qualityand quantity,declines with aging.Time flies

TIME FLIES-part One

Man is like a wind and it is time that determines him lifetime value and total worth.The total worth of every man lies in the computation of time,both the poor and the rich,the good and the bad,the wise and the fool,the skilled and the unskilled,the high and lows,the humble and the proud at heart,the righteous and the wicked,all time invested patronage.The only difference that differentiates them,is how much of their time,are wisely invested in their artistic and ken development and the inherent opportunities that they stumble upon,to help them hone their artistic capabilities.It is profitable thing when we know this and equipped with this axiom,and we can be careful about time management. In one of my essays,i reveal how effective time management was instrumental to the success of western civilation and to apply that revolutionary instincts can make a difference in our daily unprofitable routines and unproductive activities.If you realise that time our greatest enemy who through death and death scare close

Is she honest that i may confide in her ? May she be benevolent to a fault,but still keep her pride as a woman? This i dare not attest. My roving eyes still dribbled back and forth,pays not homage,in lieu of her nonchallance and unsteady heart? Am i an epitome of ample bravery to confront her devils? Filthy lucre doth to her hawkeyed pious eyes,reproof on every ado to embellish her wiles of nonchallance,in contradistinction of a heart willing and subservient of a maiden love. Then not to Margaret to let me sing her praise,a moribund brisk whose craze to love money,desecrates a yearning heart of an itching lover.She is disgusting to approach,as is fitting frequency of womensfolk.This foible,hits speedily,like an alien force from outer space and thus have i resolved;i still yet findeth not a woman who could love me as i am. Then shall i love no more?

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT-PART 3

Great inventions are done in silence and unsung and you have to be in prison and imprisoned to achieve them.The road into the city of dreams ,that beautiful jerusalem is a lonely journey and most unsung,so that it is the unsung that gets there.To be in that prison,you are sure of succesful exit.To write a novel,a timeless work of art,you would have to go to that school.Though,every one of us wanted to achieve great things still yet they are not ready to go jail.Make up your mind to vote for solitary confinement into your diet and be read to go to prison.The pragmatic outcome of such trial is better attested to by its action men and we can only share what experiences,we have to the dying souls.Each Man's strength lies in silence and confidence;so to be able to explore this realm,we require a little faith to be jailed possibly,not for failure but for triumph.Women are natural creators like god and babies are brewed for months,in the womb. Use your quiet time well for a productive routine,habbits and customs .

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT-PART Two

why chaos is on the increase,in mordern time.I did some research lately and cudgeled over the population of world greatest original inventors,leaders and most influential theorists of all time,to my utter amazement,i was embarrassed,i still could not hundred solid men,that shaped the course of human history.That speaks volume the quality of use of our quite time,from time immemorial. That questions and challenges human thinking intergrity,what we do with our quiet time and how we use our quiet time collectively and the originality of its use and perpetual awakening of thoughful immersion. Isn't it despicable that the spate of violence,mass poverty,ailments and imperialism on the increase in mordern age shows its depletion? The use is deplorably abandon and we are thoughtless,reaping what we sow.In his book-As A Man Thinketh,James Allen says"All that a man achieves or fails to achieve is the direct result of his thoughts". We are limited by what we think and we are boundless by what we think.It is your stardom

SOLITARY CONFINEMENT-PART ONE

An alternative title that i could have used instead of the above caption is-'When You Are Alone.' So,when you are alone,what do you do?What do you do with your quiet time?If you want to succeed in life,it is a common knowldge that you must be creative,you must be creator like God in your closet.It is absurd to drink yourself to a stupor,in a lifelong without a commensurate intellectual contribution or womanise at reckless proportion,not occupying your minds with productive thoughts of a creator god. Moreso,as creation is done in secret and all works of arts,both learning and teaching,expression,impression and reflection,including curios,artefacts being also promiscuous works of imagination are embosses bred in silence,when your solitude is confined.All great inventions and preparedness,situated in this realm.A man is not complete without perpetual thinking weeks and quiet time and quiet time as boon companion.There is no intergrity and the population of such despicable brutes in human society,explicably shows

GROWTH- A CONTINUUM - Part three

The case of nineteen year old Liu Shih-Kun quickly comes to mind,who was an esteemed concert pianist,renown in China,until the emergence and wasting venom of cultural revolution,that banned all forms of western influence.But he refused to renounce his beloved music,and Liu was deemed or labelled enemy of the people,beaten to a pulp and then incarcerated.Then,he languished in a tiny cell,had no books,no paper,no script,no instrument and even worse not even close to his beloved piano.For propaganda reasons,six years later was called to play in Beijing with the Philadelphia Ochestra.Still,he performed brilliantly. What was the reason,because even eighteen month later,he still performed flawlessly?Certainly,he must have figured out,how to play an imaginary piano,how wonderful an imprisoned legs but not an imprisoned minds and hands that never ceased to play this balloon of imaginary thoughts!Learning must be constant even in the bitter climate of experience,be so even much more.Certainly,a new custom can beformed

GROWTH- A CONTINUUM - Part two

even the smallest events or situations into breakthroughs in thinking and action.Look,at all life as a school and every experience as a lesson and your learning will always be greater than your experience.'In that school that is life,we are taught by fate,how to use our custom and routines through hardwork to gather experience,from which by way of eualuation and breakeven analysis,learning proceeds,when explored.We can do nothing,when they are bitter experience and when we are caught in its bitter climate and terrific waves,we manage to learn from that contraption whatsoever,and then move on.When Charles Schulz in an old peanuts cartoons,shows Charlie Brown at the Beach,building a splendid SandCastle,it is wonderful to admire what a magnificent work of art.As he stands back for its admiration,it is suddenly destroyed by fire.Then,he says,in the last frame,'There must be a lesson here,but for the life of me i dont know what it is.'Nothing is worse than not learning from our daily experience.Isn't it foolish?

GROWTH-A CONTINUUM Part one

Life is all about growth and that cannot be possible without essential learning and continuous learning to facilitate that continuous growth.So,growth is a continuum where learning is a continuum and a lifetime perpetual cycle of growth is muchmore than possible,where they are perpetrated as a necessity.Learning is vital,because the extent of human serfdom,at a given period,is highly unknown and cannot be ascertained too quickly. No one can tell,the extent to which we are enslaved to our daily routine,frosty and frigid traditions.Authors Dan Sullivan and Catherine Nomura were famous for their Book-The Laws Of Lifetime Growth.They contended'continual learning is essential for lifetime growth.You can have a great deal experience and be no smarter for all the things you'll done,seen and heard. Experience alone is no guarrantee of lifetime growth.But if you regularly transform your experiences,into new lessions,you'll make each day of your life a source of growth.The smartest people are those who can transform

WE CANNOT OUTSMART DEATH-PART 2

I was just laughing hysterically at our mortal follies,when i read about Michael Drosnin.Very funny indeed. Drosnin wrote a book about this gullibility and vanity of mortal craves,when he cited and sampled the story of a man who wanted more wealth,so he built the biggest financial empires of his day.Really! He desired more and more pleasure,so he lured with money the most glamourous women of his day.Really!When he craved for adventure,he set airspeed records,built and piloted world's brightest aircraft and also by acquiring political clouts,secured more political power and was envy of senators.Really!He also also owned exotic film studios and paraded stars,and this gave him more glamour,that he so much craved for.Anyway,that Is not our headache but just listen to excerpt below from Drosnin's book,what happened to the man,when he died."He was a figure of gothic power,ready for the grave. Emaciated,only 120pounds stretched over his sixfoot inch frame....thin scraggly beard that reached its way unto his sunken

WE CANNOT OUTSMART DEATH

Man is deceived by the vanities of life and i keep wondering why would man labours so much,so hard only to loose them to at the end to a simpleton and die like foul.It is the most horrible aspect of our mortality.We are not just gullible but much more more moronish and harebrained and still we being hallucinated by the epicure of this vanity like i pointed in 'Life- A Vanity Fair.'Ernest Becker in his book entitled"The Denial Of Death"published in 1974,lamented this horror of horrible lives and concluded we live our lives,ignoring,avoiding and repressing the truth that we are all human or clothed by mortal fabric and that sooner or later,we are all going to die.That ignoring this fact was the basis of our alcoholism,approval addiction,madness and obsession with money and security.That same year that he published his book and won pulitszer with great acclaims,that same year,was diagnosed with cancer that same year,he died.Can you imagine that to witness that life is a paradox? Ever since,still never repented

EXTRA EFFORT NEEDED.Part 5

I was so much excited about the story of late Chief Obafemi Awolowo of blessed once told by himself.She said:"When i got married,i decided on how to live a life of virtue.And so when i got to England in 1944 and i was there till 1947,women came to me and some of them were single.They asked why i was going to buy things for myself at the grocery,fruits and food stores!When i saw this,i was afraid because i had been married for seven years.I had disciplined myself and stuck to one wife.How can a reasonable man allow ten minutes of enjoyment to destroy seven years of a happy married life? No way!You know many of these girls patronised night clubs in Britain.At one time,my friend invited to accompany him to a nightclub.Knowing the possible consequences,i refused to go!I was a married man and that was it.On that night,the nightclub i declined to go,was raided and lots of people were killed".That was an incredible willpower and selfcontrol and that can only happened when extra mile principle is applied.

EXTRA EFFORT NEEDED.Part 4

It takes only the strong hearted to put in such great efforts or your best effort,and requires going extra mile.But you cannot force people against their wills, and like Andrew Carnegie,steel Magnate:" There's no use in trying to help people who wont help themselves. You cannot push anyone up a ladder unless he or she is first willing to climb it."That is where extra mile principles come in,where you needed to do more, to achieve or nurture right atmosphere for that character building.This requires Art Williams once concluded ,' You beat 50perc. of the people by working hard;you beat the other 40perc.by being a person of honesty;....and the last 10perc.is a dogfight'that is competitive struggle.That is the extramile principle,you need to truly cultivate the means to incorporate Maxwellian Constitution Of Success and hardwork.Once that custom is cultured,your cability to overcome stress,frustration,contemptuos violation of your rights,including the things that challenge your values.You Must be approachable too

carrying a chip on his shoulder is the easiest way to get into trouble,that the quickest way to become unpopular is to carry tales of gossip about others,buckpassing always turns out to be a boomerang,and that it doesnt matter who gets the credit so long as the job gets done.He learns that most others are as ambitious as he is,that they have brains as good or better that hardwork not cleverness is the secret of success. He learns that no one ever gets to first base alone,that it's only through cooperative effort that we move onto better things.He realises in short that the"art of getting along"depends 98perc.on his own behaviour towards others'. I want to believe without extraeffort nurtured in character building,the Maxwellian constitution of success that is hinged on five cardinal principles of sacrifice,selflessness or altruism or humanitarianism,selfcontrol,collectivity and delegation and last hardwork cannot be possible.Your moods albeit occassionalflunctuation,must be consistent with that success points

not seven times but seventy seven times.He had previously thought,he was being generous enough with the seven times'offer of acceptance,a godly extra effort by his own standard,before Jesus,deflated his humanistic ego as trash.Jesus knew the old testament truly well and must have gotten that number from Lamech philosophy and chose it deliberately,to do away with it.To be indeed an evil man,a villain or a hero ,a righteous man,you needed to go extramile.Infact,in everything you do,an extra mile,an extraeffort needed,by all ramification is a neccessity.Dr.John Maxwell writes:'Sooner or later,a man if he is wise,discovers that life is a mixture of good days and bad,victory and defeat,give and take.He learns that it doesn't pay to be a too-sensitive soul,that he should let some things go over his head.He learns that he who looses his temper,usually looses out,that all men occassionally have burnt toast for breakfast,and that he shouldn't take the other fellow's moans too seriously.He learns that carrying a....

EXTRA EFFORT NEEDED-Part one

In the philosophy of life,in general,be it for good or for evil,you needed extra effort to become a righteous man,a hero as well as extra effort,to become an evil minded person or a villain,indicating that it is extra effort that gives you such regonition or identity.In the Bible,there is the story of Lamech,a descendant of Cain,one Of Adam's son.Now,Cain Killed brother Abel,and God instead of killing him,as karma,put a mark on him,saying that if anybody killed Cain,they 'd pay it for it seven times over.Then,one day somebody hurt Lamech and he was annoyed,then killed the offender,and boasted about about it.He said"i have killed a man for wounding me."so that..."if Cain is avenged seven times,then Lamech seventy seven times" Gen.4:23-24. He was justified with evil.When Christ came cleaned the augean stable,and when Peter who had been hurt by one person,with burden in his heart came to Jesus and asked that question;'How many times do i forgive this man;seven times?'With his superior knowledge,told him:not 7 ..

So,it isnatural for challenges or obstacles to come,do we truly have characterand inherent grace to face and so,we witness the high rate of quitters or people that gave wayto disapointment and rejection.The furnace belonging to a goldsmith produces only the best trinketsand anything short,is burnt in the fire.A survival strategy then means dedicating time and energy to it;whichcalls for patience and discipline.That is a smart investor,knowing to overcome the furnacefires and the foundry itself-the obstaclesstarring us in theface.When youhave a dream or vision prompted or inspired by the foundry,younow haveto strive to attain it.it is that vision that gives you direction,creativity,motivation,resillienceand inspirationthat nurses a goodattitude to quench raging arrows of the furnaceinferno.Without one,you can be aimless orpurposeless,bored,vulnerable.In the same way,in problem creators influence problem solvers,problem solvers too can create sometimes addittional problems,so right attitude reducessuchstress

I still could not round up this treatise because of how disgusting,quitters can be and i wish like Margarret Thatcher to go on and on.Dr David Livingstone,the great explorer once noted:'I will go anywhereas long as it is forward'and John Barrymore,asuccesful businessmen threw his bombshell'A man is not old,until regrets take the place of dreams'.Someone said;'When goals go,meaning goes,purpose goes.But whenpurpose goes,life goes dead on our hands'It is a fact nobody remembers quitter,so stay on.Once you quit,you are dumped into the dustbin of history,not even to be recycled.Nelson Mandela,Thomas Edison,Henry Ford, Mko Abiola, Douglas Macarthur barelyquit.Getting started,could be irritating to watchers of snail,snailing with its snail speed,but reaching the finishing line,could be regarded as mother of marathons or marathon of marathons.Forward ever,backward never!In 1942,three men spent three months,prospecting for diamonds in the Venezuelan water coast.Solano Rafael was one of them,a revolutionary mind woke

Let meround up this piece with the success story of a hapless invalid,and that those who barely quit,have success story.He was born,with physical and mental challenges and when he was six monthsold a nurse,May Lemke,who equally raising her own five kids,adopted him.With the benediction from her divine supplication,he finalised exhibited somepotentials and became talentedand when he was thirteen,she bought a used piano for his rodeo.Though he played somesimple songs,but still no expression,zero and bland.Yet,she persisted,motivating him with the powerof sound and never quit,dreaming his transformation. Thenfortunately,when he was sixteen,he moved closer to piano and thus began to play.That was miraculous,somebody that never touched piano before!He later played aTchaikovsky piano concerto and it was flawless and she also found he could play anything,he heard.And one day,suddenly,he started singing and playing at concerts nationwide.

Likewise,when Heinrich Schliemann retired into adventurefrom business to search forthe legendary City Of Troy,he never quit until he found it.Novacillation ,no quitting.Instead of quitting after he was excommunicated during the Gallipoli Landing at the W.W.1,he fought back into relevance and later British Prime minister during the World War 2 and learning from his mistakes,became master strategist for the defeat of axis forces.Instead ofquitting once again,after W.W.2,Sir Winston Churchill later went to win a nobel laureate,for literature.Manymore blokes like these guys barely quit.And in the great words of Barack Obama',Yes We Can'.Do you have aim or a sense of purpose to live for and a good strategyto accomplish them?Are you apologist of Twain's success therapy?

When you haven't accomplished,what you set out to do,quitting is not a good option and for Maxwell to take that important decision,at a trying times of his life,he must have been a good calculator and an apologist of Twain's success therapy.When you planned to leavea legacy,you'll understand better and not wanting to be stained by a trail of unfulfilled aspirations,you'll definitely not quit.Dont join nor listen to critics and complainers that settled for less and if you quit is certainly not toolate to start again.And for every contest,denials and stumbling blocksabound,but the point is to makea difference.'I feel i lived on a higher plain than the sceptics on theground....who valued life more highly,the aviators who spent it on the art they loved,or these misers who doled it out like pennies through their antlike days?.....If i could fly for ten years before i was killed in a crash,it would be aworthwhile trade for an ordinarylifetime',says Charles Lindbergh,who made a difference in his chosen carreer.

Once,your aim or purpose,you can keep,you would never quit at all,let alone forgetyour commitment to that aim.Thatis why i love breakthroughtips,by Mark Twain,when he said,'The secret of getting ahead isgetting started'.Now listento his conclusion',The secret of getting started is beakingyour complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks,and then starting the first one.'I think Twain 's breakthrough strategy is the most effective success therapy and purpose management approach around and i can bet my bald pate,if any alternative tip,better this well thought psychological dose exist.People quit their aim because they couldnt apply Twain's purpose management model,that is are overwhelmed by complex tasks that must be performed,to actualise their dreams.So,to write down your dream and the way it will look like when achieved and reflect on them.Let those thoughts now drive your aim or sense of purpose,especially when you apply Twain's.That application must be supported by three questions,to reach your

NEVER QUIT-part 1

No matter the situation,i will never quit,even in the howling wilderness,when uncertainty like dogs barks at every tremble and there seem to be no escaping route.One day,Dr John Maxwell,tempted by the devil and the law of sight,considered his chances and decided to quit.And after a few minutes of considering the option,decided to search its meaning and then look it up,in the dictionary.But you would be amazed at what he did,after the search.And What did he do after gaining the much needed insight? Suddenly,Maxwell in a symbolic act defiance,pulled the trigger-took out a scissor and cut off the page containing the word from the dictionary.Though certainly,didnt change anything,but only his psychology,his resolve and determination at seizing hard choices and bright opportunities in life.When you feel like you are at a dead end,be not tired or exhausted,at your tenacity and hardwork.Jack Dempsey,once noted-'A champion is one who gets back up,when he cant'.Booker T.

BURNING PASSION Part 1

Is life all about pleasure?Do you think otherwise?Anyway,it is a philosophical matter,beyond the grasp of mere mortals.It was Sigmund Freud who claimed that the pleasure principle is one of the greatest and strongest hungers and drives there is in human heart.Many folks criticised him including a couple of his own colleagues.A neo-Freudian by the name Alfred Adler disagreed with him and enthused rather than pleasure,it is power.He belong to the Lord Acton school of absolute power corruption and stood in favour of power,which is the dominating passion in the human heart.However,in the principle of utility Jeremy Bentham(1748-1832) was an English reformer,whose life spanned the great revolutions of Europe,such as The Enlightenment, French Revolution and the post Napoleonic era,noted;"Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters,pain and pleasure"......

I would have loved to title this piece,"Principle Of Focus"but after reading the amazing story of the best Violinist in New York's Carnegie Hall,how she became skilled in her arts,and the secret of her success,which she coined."Principle Of Planned Neglect",i was propelled in favour of the title.She confessed:"I use the principle of planned neglect"and that when she was still a learner,had planned to neglect everything that was not relevant towards actualisation of her goal.Focus is the medicine and a passionate therapy of effective time usage,a highly geared and a highly leveraged purpose toward attainment of dreams.It is the most effective gospel in the ministry of purpose and infact accelerates the velocity of a becoming especially,the transition between the dreams and the actual pragmatic deliveries.When the momentum downward slopes,indicated by dizziness of the tardy path,a good success aspirant,ought to remember his focus principle,to retool himself.

of getting rid of it nearly breaks my heart".So,hardwork Is the anchor of life ship,the general compass of the human life and to take it away,is to make life painful.But we are all workers at one point of our lives or the other and duration or intensity certainly differs.Yet still some are much more succesful than others and that raises a stink,a foul play-why is it so?In the words of a great man,who wrote in 1928,with the followinglines said it all-"For more than 25 years,i have carefully,studied men with the objective of knowing why some achive noteworthy success,while others withjust as much ability do not get ahead;it seems significant that every person,whom i have observed with noteworthy success has put in more service than that for which,he was paid,compared to those who merely performed sufficient service to get by" This is more than just work but being guided by law of dilligence or as one missionary put it as the'law of put and take'that states perform and render much more services than being paid

Otto Von Bismarck,the founder of mordern Germany,in 1870 was fond of hardwork,so much that he once concluded"To youth,i have but three words of counsel-work!work!work!"Work is much more fun than fun.Thomas Carlyle;"Blessed is he,who has found his work;let him ask no other blessedness"Then Nelson Mandela took it to another level when one day,he told his captive audience"I know what will kill me,and that is to wake up one day without any work to do.That would kill me!And because i've got a daily programme,i feel as i felt at 50 because to look forward to something,you are going to daily with zeal,is a life clincher."In other words,laziness kills faster than even cancer and there is no alternative to work.How can somebody survived 27 years in prison,such as the groanings and pang behind bars at Robben Island,without Work?Without it life is sorrowful and sad and what Jerome K.

Courage springs from the heart,fear springs from the heart,but knowledge intensive art at heart,is by tame fearless,and themountain to he a valley and the valley to him a mountain.That he turns his dreamland of fantasies,into flesh,is itself a farago of Mahomet 's gilded fortune musters that can be tamed by scaling the greatest mountains of Himalayas and Everest,in one fell swoop,and a valley at its feet,a mountain becomes.The price of libertyis the song of the freedom andthe song offreedom is the true price of liberty.By what you say and sing,you are freed and by your actions arethose liberties worth,andthose liberties in spirit by your actions,are liberties in flesh,that yourstatus by art and philosophy,is immortalised.The true price of liberty is paid by what you know and the true price of slavery is paid for by your ignorance.A slave and a freedman is therefore distinguished bywhatthey know and barely know.Fear springeth where ignorance breedeth and greedily breathes,at ease

SHALL I NOT COMPARE THEE TO A LOUNGE LIZARD? Part one

Shall I not compare thee to an uncrowned king whose uneasy contest wears thewind and upon his belly,misery acquints with the farthest seas.Thoughwe have seen the darkestdays but even the brightest days,yet unseen might a gauchy cloud in our sentry thrives.And notuntill the posterity is known,the unseen days,darkest days becomeand that which is darker with gauchy cloud that thou cannot battle,maketh thee a lounge lizard.All that glisters is gold,but the gold in the furnace that glisters without love at heart of the goldsmith,mortal history never before seen.And betwixt thine ownself,defeat not with encroachment of standing ovation,dancing to the gallery.Lend me your eyes,go to mahomet and assail the world greatest battlefield;for there is nothing but victory,when you are learned to win there.That nothing will come from nothing,is to ravingly bully a fool and the wise alike that something cannot come from something,that a fool dies many times before he dies,and only a fool begat a fool and a wise doth begat a
