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

Baby Doll And The Monkey

Once upon a time, Mr Douglass went to the zoo and decided to get a monkey. The said monkey was desirable, looking beautiful without possessing a monkey-like looks. He so much loved the monkey like she was a girl he would have asked her out. He cherished the monkey. Saying that he fell in love with the monkey unconditional was an understatement. He wowed the monkey by expressing his love for the female monkey, he took her home.

When his little daughter saw the monkey from afar, she was scared, got frightened by her looks little Zara ran away leaving her doll on the ground she ran to her mom. When Mr Douglass ordered the monkey to come in, the monkey saw the little Zara's doll and quickly rushed it to eat it.

Zara was then peeping through the window from inside the house as she saw the monkey battling with her baby doll, she forgot the

monkey was fiercely looking and ran out to drag the baby doll with the monkey. "This is my baby doll not a banana," she cried.

Mr Douglass instinctively turned to look at the monkey in awe, "Zara don't you know Monkey wants banana and your baby doll is looking like a banana that she had hungered for? Hahahaha," he forced the baby doll out of the monkey's mouth.

The next day, the monkey saw bunch of banana flower on the table in the sitting, she quickly went to the table, he pushed the flower down and was hurriedly tearing the flower like it was banana. "Dad, monkey is destroying the banana flower," she cried out. Mr Douglass came in and force the flower out of her mouth.

Nobody asked Mr Douglass to go buy big bunch of bananas from the fruit seller who was selling fruit down the road, for the monkey to make quench his desire for banana.

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
