The Weeping Lecturer

In the morning, the heavens opened and it began to rain. Bella grabbed her umbrella to get to school, as she walked out of the hostel the first

Life in a circle

'One cool sunday evening, in the year 2003, George was very sad, he bowed his head in thought of how life has been treating him. "Guy what's up," asked Jude, i am not fine with the way you have been since I brought you here to have some bottles of drink with me, chill man, feel free, be happy or is there something bothering you? you can confide in me am your friend."

"Jude, what kind of life is this, what exactly did I do to be in this kind of poverty? okay now can you tell how I
have been surviving after graduation from the university long time ago, after my parents sacrificed all they had to see me through school? Am i not a disappointment to my family? Always hoping to get a good job which don't seem fast coming, huh? I am tired of this condition,"said George in anguish.

My dear friend George, I know how life's been treating you and I sincerely believe that one day it will break for you, if I may ask, what are your plans now George?"

"Lately, I have been thinking of a way to leave this country if I had the opportunity."
"do you really want to travel abroad?"Jude asked.
" yes of course if i had the opportunity, i will..."
"Okay," replied Jude. "if this is the only thing I do for you for all the help and support you gave me in my academics during our school days I will make some contact for your travel, so be happy okay."
"Guy I will appreciate it if you do this for me," George said excitedly.

Five years later when George came back from Germany with enough money, he was cruising around, he began to live a luxury life, brushing his family, making so much investment in the country.

Unfortunately, his friend Jude was down in business and needed finance to bounce back in his business, he never bothered to tell his friend George, knowing that George was back and spending money. What he never knew was that George had already setup a company for him for his kind guesture in giving him a new life when he had already lost it.

It was 2nd of May 2008, Jude's birthday, it was time for cutting of cake, George requested he should be given few minutes to speak, with rapturous applause, George stood and beacon on Jude, "I don't know how else to reward you but my God will continue to bless you for me, here is for you," telling him that the company was his, Jude left speechless but dripping down tears of joy.'

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
