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

Song Of War

The time you won your town the fight

You fought like none had ever done

We chaired you through the market-place;

Man and boy stood cheering by, 

And home we brought you shoulder high


Today the battle field all soldiers come,

You fought like non had ever done

Shoulder high we bring you home,

And set you down at your resting corner

From the battle field where glory does not stay


When we warn that fight cannot stand 

To bring peace and unity we stand 

No victor no vanguish 

Anything that brings about war 

That brings about killing you regret as a soldier


War is like venom that kills in an eye blink

Eyes the shady night has shut 

Cannot see the record cut,

And silence sounds no worse than cheers

After earth has stopped the ears:


So set before its echoes fade, 

That chaos in the battle field cannot withstand 

To wear those heavy soldier boots, helmet

The bulletproof jacket and armour of war yet,

will flock to gaze the strengthless dead.


The still-defended challenge-cup,

War is not for children but freedom we must...

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
