One of the paradoxes of life is that the things that initially made you successful and relevant are rarely the things that will keep you successful. You have to remain constantly open to new ideas ad be willing and ready to learn new skills. Iron rusts from disuse,stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather it becomes frozen,in a similar pattern inaction saps the vigor and vibrancy of the mind. If you are a highly talented person,you may have a tough time with teachability. Why? Because talented people often think they know it all. And that robs them of their ability to continually expand their talents and skills. Teachability is not really a matter of mental ability and competence as it is about our disposition. In essence,it's about a desire to listen,learn and apply. It's the perpetual hunger to discover new territories and evolve to higher horizons and dimensions. The future does not belong to those who have learnt,but it belongs to those who c...

People say...Jack of all trade, Master of none, but I say...Jack of all trade, Master of some. Is it too much for a young lady to have a career, be a good homemaker, learn how to bake, sew, cook for public consumption, develop good business acumen, learn to write and pronounce words correctly, have a good fashion sense, run a Youth Foundation and be the best she can ever be not for her future husband but for herself and her self alone??? My people, without much ado, I unapologetically say....ITS NOT TOO MUCH. Our minds does not have an elastic limit neither can it reach a yield point. It can neither crack up completely nor develop a bunch of red nerves. It has the capacity to accommodate any input and make you Multidimensional so you can function without friction. There is a reason why we are made of bones and not dust. I tell you, once you discover that reason, you can be all you ever wanna be and even more. Esther ijeoma Ogbuka.

We live in a covetous world. Most times, we want to have what others have and look like others which simply mean we are patterning our lives to become whom we are not because the easiest thing to be is "Yourself". I remember 2012 my Final year in UNN, I needed a Laptop desperately and I wanted a brand new Laptop. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough cash. Father suggested a fairly used one but I bluntly refused insisting on buying one worth 90k or not buying any at all. "Ijeoma, why must you insist on a brand new laptop when you can get a fairly used which is even better than some of these new ones? I couldn't sputter a word of explanation, plausible enough to satiate and convince this great disciplinarian Father of mine. Some Years later, when I've earned enough to afford myself some luxuries, brand new laptop was totally off my list. I bought a fairly used one which serves me perfectly till date. This morning, I was just ruminating over some issues in p...

There are men and there are over grown babies that claim they are men. Men, which one are you? Are you the type that will come into a ladies life and shatter her dreams instead of helping her achieve her dreams? Are you the type that that will not inspire your woman instead you make her expire? Are you the type that sees nothing wrong in beating your wife all in the name of correction?or you embarrass her in front of friends and relations just to prove you are the man of the house? Are you the type that isn't proud of your wife, you don't take her out, you kill her self confidence, you disrespect her by collecting numbers from every girl you see on the street and you allow them call you at odd hours. Are you that will take care of your own Children when wifey isn't around and you see it as a favour you did for her? Your own Children...Are you the type that sees house chores as a woman's responsibility, no matter how tired she is, you can never help her out? Are y...

A lady worked at a meat distribution factory. One day, when she finished with her work schedule, she went into the meat cold room (Freezer) to inspect something, but in a moment of misfortune, the door closed and she was locked inside with no help in sight. Although she screamed and knocked with all her might, her cries went unheard as no one could hear her. Most of the workers had already gone, and outside the cold room it's impossible to hear what was going on inside. Five hours later, whilst she was at the verge of death, the security guard of the factory eventually opened the door. She was miraculously saved from dying that day. When she later asked the security guard how he had come to open the door, which wasn't his usual work routine, this was his explanation: "I've been working in this factory for 35 years. Hundreds of workers come in and out every day, but you're one of the few who greet me in the morning and say goodbye to me every evening when leaving a...
