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

Tortoise

"Patience is a virtue," Ogoma said
Ofondu, a very rich young man in his early thirties, very tall and handsome but doesn't make women his priority. He is no doubt a clergy man but has been looking out for a good girl to marry. He understood that marriage is not a hide and seek game. It's not a thing of come and go, it's more than just joining two together to become one. It is more of dedication, devotion, tolerance, transparent relationship between the two involved that lasts for a very long
time.

As a Lawyer, Ofondu knows the painful state of people who have been through divorce, not only the long protocol or proceedure involved. As a clergy who serves in the Holy tent of God, he knows that divorce is not spiritually acceptable except in the case of infidelity. The present situation is getting on his nerves, he doesn't know what to do, how and where to get a good girl.

Ofondu decided to employ a method, he is in Akwa-ibom State, he remembered Elisa who he is still verifying to find out if she is truly a nice and religious girl as he has thought. Elisa is living in Ikeja, Lagos State.

Now what should he do, he really wants to have a conversation with her. He needs to find out many things about her. "Elisa, can you come to Akwa-ibom I need us to discuss something important, it has really been a long time, "he said after finding out that she is still single.

Elisa is in her late twenties, age is no longer on her side. She would soon clock to thirty, though she is a graduate, sophisticated, though feels posh but jovial. She is well groomed from a humble background; from a God fearing home. She was confused on what to do whether to visit Ofondu or not. She has been forming busy with Ofondu because she never wants to visit him, she wants him to come to Ikeja.

Though she has remained untamed, living a life of sanctity. She has tried to avoid defiling herself but she is becoming impatient waiting on God to give her a husband because age is not her friend, she would soon grow old when no man would want her. Now that she still has a little time and opportunity of getting a husband, she wouldn't afford to lose it.

"my daughter this may be his way to test you to see if that's the way you travel to visit other men. Don't be a tortoise who patiently stayed in the pit for a very long time and at the eleventh hour it started shouting that the pit is smelling him. Please my daughter, wisdom is priceless," her mother advised.

Elisa is determined to go to Akwa-ibom and her mother or anybody can't talk her out of it. It wriggles, this minute she is decisive of visiting Ofondu, the next minute, she changes her mind acting like a chameleon.

She remembered that such happened to her friend, immediately she lost faith in God and deviating to cohabit with a man who got her pregnant. Few months later, her friend in abroad came home with the hope that Abigail is waiting for him, only to be disappointed to hear that Abigail was pregnant for a man who still had not paid her dowry.

Elisa is really confused on what to do. Having reminisce on her friend's unlucky situation, she should have learnt from it, she thought. Now she is delving into the crucial situation. She needs to be talked to...

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
