THE GIFT OF MEN STORY SPEAKS A very long time ago, there existed two men; one who was rich and influential and the other who was poor. They both lived in a street with their houses adjacent to each other. The rich man was well known for his big businesses and Mansion but, he was never at any point in his life associated himself with other people especially, less privileged. The other man who was poor took serious the importance of relating with people and caring for them, though he was poor. Then came this very fearful day; the house of the rich man and the house of the poor man were on fire. These two men were not at home and to everyone’s surprise, people rushed down to the house of the poor man to safe his house from burning down completely, while the house of the rich man was left uncared for and was destroyed. Thank God there was no one in the rich man’s house at the time of the incidence. This taught him a great lesson that, it’s not enough to have all the money alone, the ...
The Best Gift So, I am always very happy when someone promises to give me a gift(s). It elevates me and leaves me looking forward to receiving that package. Though not all are substantial which could at times bring disappointment or sadness due to the investment of trust vested in the person making the promise.

Hold Your Stand What do I stand for is a very important question we ought to ask ourselves at one point or the other in our lives. It’s as the saying goes, If the purpose of a thing is not known, then the abuse is inevitable. This means, if you don’t have an understanding of what you stand for, you will fall for anything. You must know your areas of weakness as well as your strength. There are times we want to be everything to everyone which is not supposed to be. You will only hurt yourself and the person you are going all out for. It’s heartbreaking to see how much we focus more on pleasing people but, neglecting the fact that we have forgone our existence. What you stand for is what your existence is based on. Living a purposeful life is not difficult to live I believe but, the route to that is knowing your mountain of influence which is what you stand for. But, I can’t say this is what I stand for without knowing what I don’t stand for. What do I mean by that? For instance, i...
