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

Words that surround Life

Life is ever a series of partings.

The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them; a man may live long yet live very little.

When you enlarge others, you help them make the most of the time they have and raise their quality of life.

The great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used up.

To determine whether you are still growing, ask yourself what you are still looking forward to. If you can't think of anything or you are looking back instead of ahead, your growth may be at a standstill.

The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.

One life, a little gleam of time between two eternities; no second chance for us for ever more.

Any day that passes without personal growth is an opportunity lost to improve yourself and to enlarge others.

It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.

There is a price to pay to grow,  commitment is the price.

Always remember that there is only two kinds of people in this world -the realist and the dreamer. The realists know where they are going. The dreamers have already been there.

Don't let yourself be pressured into thinking that your dreams or your talents aren't prudent. They were never meant to be prudent. They were meant to bring joy and fulfilment into your life.

Nurture great thoughts for you will never go higher than your thoughts.

Some men have thousand of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can.

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
