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

Child Abuse a short story

Kelvin, I am in need of fresh blood. I mean vibrant blood. No, smooth blood, no soft skin. What am I even saying I want loquacious young breed," Kelvin said. Though he sounded unstable in his description. "I think you are suffering from malaria, no Malaysia, I mean you need to come out of your subconscious mind," this resorted to quarrel between this two men in their late seventies.

Funniest thing about Kelvin and Oko is that they are still looking under twenties rating their physical appearance and baggy clothes.

They have worked tirelessly at the plantain plantation all day long. They looked worn-out and frazzled. "I want to marry a second wife, Ego is the girl i want to marry, "said Kelvin with a fragile voice.

After a while Oko broke the silence. "are you alright? Ego that's still bed-wetting, Ego who is turning thirteen this year. Apparently she is a teen, that's Child Abuse, insanity, man inhumanity to man, in fact, stress is your problem, I will suggest drug to help you reduce it," he paused, "Don't think that because you have money you are free to humiliate, harass little and innocent girls," Oko replied. His voice was deep, his tone was harsh and despicable. If Kelvin was a boy, he would have whipped him.

"You called this Child Abuse, because I need a succulent body, tender, smooth and soft skin," he explained. "to deposit in her blood bank your congeal and gelatinous blood. Isn't that what you mean?" Oko snapped.

In a short moment, to justify his proposed act, "why did you and your wife decide to make the little girl, the house help your children brought to help your old age, you turned her into a slave, she hawks, is that not wickedness and Child Abuse?" he asked.

"Remove the lump in your eyes before you can see clear to remove another's," Kelvin continued. "I watched your children grew up to adults they have become today, but I did not for once see them help you in your plantation much less to hawk. If you treat Nkemdirim like your own is it a crime? Are you not abusing her pride as a child by denying her education and sending her to hawk in rain and under the sun? When I know that you are wealthy. Label the defined act," Kelvin said and walked away in fury.

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
