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

The Tot Messenger

Honourable Abu, honourable Abu!" a voice came from within. Whose voice could this be?" Abu asked. The voice came  again conspicuously. I don't think I recognize this voice, I have to wait until I confirm.

"Good morning my Chairman," Bakar said as he bowed in humility. He dipped his hand in his pocket and brought out a khaki envelop and handed it to Abu. "I received this letter this morning, I thought it wise to bring it to you as the party chairman" He looked at Bakar surreptitiously and slowly opened the envelope to unfold the letter in it. It read,
"In honour of your office sir, I hereby represent the voice of the people. The people are crying, they are suffering. The roads are bad. Market places are flooded. People are gnashing their teeth. This has passed recession. No job opportunities for young graduates and those with school certificate. What is our government doing?  Poverty is striking the masses, hunger and starvation increasing by the day. When our political leaders are enjoying the masses rights and privileges all to themselves. The masses are not oblivious of how the political leaders squander the country's wealth which is supposed to be used to better lives of the masses.

This selfish attitude has grown to the extent of hoarding money, some forgot their money at the hotel toilet in a foreign land. What were they thinking? Masses wealth, country's wealth, money for all! But it's not a new thing here in Ninjin country anyway. Masses are growing to live with such a disgusting act from their so called leaders. But as the spokesperson I have decided to devote myself in doing this. Abu I urge you to amend your state within this limited time. You have to patch the holes that are leaking. The roof of the state is leaking actually.

Again may I remind you that changing of political party is never the option to elude from doom and disappointment of the failure and disgrace that await all of you politicians. Stop decamping to camp in another party thinking that it can make you win the upcoming election, NO! it won't, rather it makes you political party decampees look like a rat that's being pursued by a pussycat.

Finally sir Abu, try to inculcate the spirit of integrity and having integrity with the people not only in yourself but also in others. By this I mean your political attitude, rules and norms should change while you all should embrace peace and love. Winning election lies in your character disposal "don't think of rigging or lobbying- for the riggers and lobbyists. Give sincere manifesto during campaigns and rallies. And make sure you fulfill your promises. Things you said you will do, do them if you won the election (lottery).


My advice to you all politicians and aspiring leaders- failure to fulfill your manifesto is hell fire. Endeavour to fulfill your manifesto is eternal life- heaven on earth. THERE IS GOD OH!"
Yours,
The Tot Messenger.

"Who is this tot messenger?" Abu soliloquised. He couldn't figure out the person. His face darkened, his countenance changed.

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
