There are benefits of engaging our brains over having to depend entirely on technology. I know it sounds weird, but it is much more valuable to number crunch with pen and paper than to use a calculator. There is essentially nothing wrong with a calculator. It is designed to help us get answers quickly. However, the person who is number crunching is growing the brain muscle more as compared to the...

Every time there is an epidemic in the earth, borders are shut and relief and medical agencies are on high alert. As the Corona virus rages in China, Russia has decided to shut down her border with the Chinese. It is an epidemic. But, folks, there is even a more dangerous epidemic that is silently raging the whole wide world. It is an epidemic caused by technology. We are so highly dependent on te...

Technology is great. Many problems it's solved. Great increase in productivity, ease of life and so on. But there is a serious downside to it. Let me ask you a question. Are you more of a producer than you are a consumer of technology and it's products? The danger we have is our brains becoming increasingly disengaged as we overly rely on technology. We go to Google even before the brain is engage...

When we are planning for the New Year or when we are setting goals, do we consider the responsibility that we have for: Our next generations? Humanity at large? Our thinking can be selfish and self-centred so much so that we do not think that we have a responsibility for the next generation. All it takes is for us to at least consider then acknowledge the fact that we are the pacesetters and trend...

To think and to plan for the third and fourth generations is one sure way to set a legacy in motion. However, if we are only going to be concerned about our fleeting 80 years on earth, chances are that that's all we shall get. Legacy is something interesting...at some level, it is not something that you actively pursue. It is something that emanates as a result of something larger than survival th...

Thinking long and thinking big must be something that we should institute in our families. Think about this: For the most part, as we have been growing up, the consciousness with which we are approaching life has always been on ourselves. Seldom do we take time to not only think, but also to plan for the next generations. There could be many reasons, and probably we could easily blame the past gen...

Obviously, the person with few responsibilities will take it easy in life than the person with great responsibilities. When we talk about planning for generations to come, we are talking about deeper, more meaningful outlook in life than just having superfluous goals such as having a nice house and living in a great neighborhood. An outlook of three generations automatically changes things, especi...

Imagine if at birth, many aspects of your life in terms of basic needs had been sorted by your grandfather! What a thought! Scriptures tell us that a a good man leaves an inheritance for his children and their children!  Half of life is spent trying to make a living that we seldom focus on leaving an impact in life. Will family planning offer a respite? Will we find solutions when we start plannin...

Thinking. A laborious exercise so much so that few people really do it. When we plan and set goals for our lives, for the most part they are short term to medium term plans. The thought is that we shall always adjust our lives and plan more as events pan out in our existence. Therefore, we seldom think about the life our children will have AFTER school. Perhaps that's the furthest we dare think. H...

We live in a rather transactional dispensation where people want to quantify every interaction in terms of what they can get. It is even worse when we think of the benefits of our actions in the now. If not careful, this kind of transactional life makes us to become selfish and short sighted. However, if we can embrace just one virtue of care one for another, we stand a chance to reap perhaps not...

We live in an ever increasingly digitized world. However, I can tell you that one of the most potent things that can never be digitized is what is responsible for our success. If you mentioned Zuckerberg, Gates, Obama, Trump or any other top performer in any niche in the world, you can be sure that they get ahead through the analog trait of thinking, planning and strategizing. This analog activity...

The world today is moved along by mighty as well as tiny actions which are in themselves connected to one thing: Belief. Nothing of worth that we see today existed arbitrarily. Someone somewhere believed and that belief made them to take some action of sorts. Whenever someone says, "I believe...", the world stands at the precipice of change. A person's life will always be anchored by their belief...

We can always attain success by following conventional methods. In fact, someone said that success always leaves clues. So we can study and implement those clues and become successful. In other words, for the most part success is chronic, measured, deliberate and predictable. However, that is not the only way through which people succeed. There is one more way of attaining success, and that is thr...

When your breathe is taken away, almost always you want to reciprocate. You are so appreciative that you might consider it robbery not to be grateful. What goes on behind the scenes before a performance befitting taking our breathe away is what we ought to focus on. Blood, sweat and tears is what it takes, but when your audience gets the breathless treatment, you have earned your bread. You have p...

Life is an aggregate of the days we are alive. Whatever I am doing or not doing today is a direct contribution to the totality of how my life will turn out. The secret we have each day we are alive is to give 100% oxidation to our efforts. I have this concept: that interviews are not carried out in boardrooms. No. Each day, life is conducting an interview with the opportunities we have. What perce...

December and January can be a season of upheaval to many people who have staked their lives on academics. In many countries in Africa, this is the time that examination results for primary and high school are released. It is common to see relatives pasting the achievements of their candidates all over social media. There is a large but silent percentage of others who have flunked. As many would ca...

Let's be honest. The road to attainment is not necessarily smooth, straight, and paved. We are always going to face twists and turns. That's why we need to have some kind of intelligence in dealing with down times. One of the greatest myths is that your actions in downtimes should only be those that lead to deliverance. Therefore if you have to take action, it has to be one that is directly offeri...

There is one that scatters abroad and has plenty. There is another that hoards and still has little. Misers are people seldom fulfilled in life. Their hope is on things, commodities and cash. They are hell bent on protecting their turfs that life is a burden. If you are to be fulfilled in life, you will have to free yourself from the love of things and actually use your life to add value to others...

Religion is always going to be a controversial subject. It goes without saying. Most religious people will take offense with this but I will say it anyway: religion was never intended to be the source of fulfilment. It never will. If I was to choose between religion and work in terms of getting fulfillment, I will most definitely choose work.  There is a higher chance to get fulfilment from work t...

I am almost sure that what we did today, all of us as humans was to look for fulfilment in life, one way or another. But why is it that fulfilment can be elusive to us? Why is it that it is fleeting, just passing us by and leaving us empty? It could be because of the kind of focus we have in our lives. Yet, there are millions of people the world over who are experiencing real and authentic fulfilm...

There is one thing that we all are looking for in life. Whether we are religious or agnostic, developed or developing, whatever our state in life, we all want fulfilment. No, we might not say it outright, but our actions and priorities will show it. However, as much as fulfillment is attainable for anyone anywhere, it is also an elusive thing in life. That's why we need to have some paradigm throu...

"In a world of change,  the learners shall inherit the earth , while the learned  shall  find themselves perfectly suited for a world that no longer exists." These are powerful words spoken by Eric Hoffer. The world is a changing. There is a new decade to conquer, a New Year to embrace. However, it shouldn't be true that the more things change the more they remain the same. It is one thing to have...

One of the things we need to do with our mind is to stretch it. And one of the most fruitful ways to stretch our mind is to put it to work in downloading our future possibilities. To strategically position ourselves for the new decade, we shall need the mind to be stretched. We shall need to dream, prioritize and quantify our desires. Let us learn more here.

Author Dutch Sheets helps us clarify the power of dreaming. This is what he says: "Dreaming ignites creativity. The impossible is powerless against the relentless energy and creative imagination flowing from a dreaming heart. Dreams are pregnant with hope, persistence, ingenuity, and inventiveness—if you dream you will create. Contrarily, if you do not have dreams to pursue, you'll languish and st...

Everything successful bears fruit because it operates a system. The human body in a connection of intertwined powerful systems, so much so that we do not have to "think" to digest food for example. It just happens. If we shall be successful in this decade, then it is important that we have a system that is predictable in these uncertain times. It is a personal system, and it very much has to deal...
