NO FREE GIFTS

NO FREE GIFTS

There is nothing like a free gift. Do not be deceived.
Once you take it and take it and take it, the giver muzzles your mouth, paralyses your will, and thereby makes you a slave: very soon, his wishes will be your command.
Understand that each gift you take is a debt you owe; you must soon pay, or later...

NATURE IS TALKING...

NATURE IS TALKING...

If this is possible among animals whose wisdom is not even a half of man's wisdom, then why can it not be possible among men, the very image of God, and the head of all creations? Why can't man do it for his fellow man?
Nature is talking to you. Man, listen...

WITH YOUR OWN STRENGTH

WITH YOUR OWN STRENGTH

There is the bicycle! With it you can move and go places. But, even as useful as it is, if you sit on even the fastest one and you do not pedal it, you cannot move. Now you understand the bicycle can only be useful for you, ONLY if you pedal it, with your OWN strength.
Hello, does this teach you anything about life?

ADULTERY

ADULTERY

One of the most common ways of dying premature, disgraceful death is ADULTERY: and I mean knowingly or unknowingly lusting after a married woman or a married man, and defiling them.
If she is not for you, do not go near her. If he is not for you, never seduce him. Dear one, your long life and peace is hidden in this!

REPAY YOUR DEBT

REPAY YOUR DEBT

Borrowing is not evil. It is only when you do not repay it on time, or when you do not repay it at all, that you suffer.
If you do not have the strength to repay, do not borrow at all. This is how you can have peace, and a free conscience.
If you have the strength to repay, borrow and repay it in due time. This is how you can get the strength, to borrow again.

HUMILITY...

HUMILITY...

Humility does not mean inferiority. It does not mean worthlessness. It does not mean foolishness.
Humility is a powerful tool used to unlock luck and blessings, too expensive for money to buy. It is a powerful tool used to unlock promotion and favour, too great for charisma to gain.
Humility is success.

ARE YOU PROUD?

ARE YOU PROUD?

Pride is a poison. It deceives its possessor into thinking that he is the best; and that everyone else is inferior.
In the end, the same pride will fail him: because he will certainly fall a disgraceful fall. Wherever pride is, either there is a fall there, or there is going to be a fall there, soon. God confirms this.
Are you proud?

LEARN TO WAIT

LEARN TO WAIT

Whenever we are told to wait, we feel excrutiating pain within. We murmur. We complain. We blame. We cry.
But in the end, if we painfully go through the waiting period, we get more than what we wanted at the beginning.
This is a natural law. If you try it, it'll work for you.

SOMETHING IS GETTING LATE

SOMETHING IS GETTING LATE

We often hear "Nothing is too late." But truth is, some things are too late. We have allowed "Nothing is too late" to make us inactive, unconcerned, and lazy. We have lost a lot; we are still losing more.
Now is the time to start acting, for, even as you read this now, something is getting late, somewhere...
Are you not concerned?

SAVE SOME MONEY

SAVE SOME MONEY

Wait! Do not eat all that you've got today. Put some somewhere. Save something. Even if it is a meager amount, please, put it down.
The reason is that, however big whatever you have is, one day, you may lose it.
And, you do not know when you will be in need...

THE BEST FRIEND

THE BEST FRIEND

Look at this man here.
Even in his insaneness, he roams about, carefree. He is dirty and looks scary, but will hardly think of putting poison in my food; and in his heart, he has nothing against me.
It is our sane friends that plan on evil against us. It is them that hate us. It is them that disappoint us. It is them that reveal our secrets.
How I wish this man could understand when I talk! He would have been my closest friend. After all, he has no friends to exchange words with: so my secrets would be safe...

MY CONSCIENCE

MY CONSCIENCE

If I do the worst, I can hide from the sight and the judgment of men, and even win their praise. But from my conscience, I cannot hide.
If I do the best, men may not appreciate it, and praise me not, and may even condemn me. But my conscience is my witness, and it will praise me.
So in all things, I do not listen to men. I listen to my conscience. Its judgment is true!

ONE STEP, AT A TIME

ONE STEP, AT A TIME

It is true, sometimes we feel that our time has come. We feel that opportunity comes but once. And so when the opportunity comes, we never want to miss it. Even sometimes, when the opportunities tarry a little, out of anxiety, we try creating our own opportunities, and use them. But, the truth is that, in everything, patience is the key. If we want to get the very best, then we should never rush. Even if others cheat us, we should let it go, for, the best things that last are the things got out of patience. Do everything one step, at a time. And in the end, you will laugh!
Remember, one step, at a time...

LET US UNITE, AFRICA!

LET US UNITE, AFRICA!


Diversity here; diversity there; diversity everywhere! Africans, it seems that is what kills us unknowingly, or contributes largely to our underdevelopment. If unchecked, it breeds selfishness and in the end, kills empathy for our fellows, and finally leaves us indifferent, even to the troubles and plights of our own people.
But we need to understand, that however different other persons are from us, they are also humans, with needs and feelings like us. If we need love, they also need love. If we need help, they need help too. If we have need of a sense of respect for us, then they also need respect as well.
Africans, it is time to love each other like one people. That will make it impossible for man to murder his fellow man. Selfishness will also be extinguished. Then, the way will be paved for true development.
Ghana, unite!
Africa, unite!
The world, let us unite!

TRY ONCE MORE

TRY ONCE MORE

Don't give up yet! You are tired. You have tried several times and failed. You seem unlucky. The journey is too long. You want to give up. Still, don't give up yet.
Try again. If you fail, try again. If you fail again, try again. When you get tired, try again. And then, when you finally feel like giving up, try once more. If that doesn't work, try again, and again, and again.
That is the language of success. Very soon, you'll get what you want!

YOUR CONSCIENCE IS TALKING

YOUR CONSCIENCE IS TALKING

How often do we hide and do wrong when we know no one is watching? How often do we hide under the cover of anonymity and pretend? Why do we consciously ignore the warning by our consciences, and still do the wrong thing?
No one is watching. Yes, no one is watching. Truly, no one is watching. But listen carefully, your conscience is talking...

A SIMPLE SMILE WILL DO

A SIMPLE SMILE WILL DO

Sometimes, when our hearts are overburdened with the heaviness of pain, troubles and disappointment, we should keep quiet, draw some fresh hope from within, and smile.
True, at times smiling is painful, but we should try. It takes away some pain. And when we tell ourselves that it shall be well, we should believe it. And well, shall it be.
