A PRICELESS COMMODITY

Time is the most priceless but yet one of the most wasted asset on Earth. Time is the only asset that is gifted to every man equally, both old and young, man and woman, adult or children, rich or poor, handicapped and even animals have equal amount of time in a day. But the way you utilize the time gifted You determines the kind and level of results, goals and heights You will achieve and attain in life.
Time management is life management, the better You spend and manage your time, the better Your life becomes. Time is an asset must utilize daily to produce profitable results.
The Earth is programed in such a way that there is time for everything, the more you take control of your time, the more you gain control of your life.
To take control of your life, you have to work with time. You cannot work against or without time or else your life will be disorganized and out of order.
Time is what we want most, but we spend worst and waste. All great men of history all had the same 24 hours we have, but how they utilized their time reflected in their achievements. The way you spend your time will reflect in your achievements or results.
Time waits for no one, which is why it is advisable for you to choose who you spend your time with or what you spend your time doing. If you spend your time with a slow and sluggish time waster, you will achieve less, don’t be patient with time wasters because time is not patient with you. What You also spend your time doing will determine your level of success. Don’t spend your time in needless socializing, non profitable conversation. Let every minute count because once every minute counts, the hours will take care of themselves. Know one thing that time flies and you are the pilot, you determine the flight of your time.
Procrastination is the greatest enemy of our time, it is in our habit as Humans to postpone what can be done now to tomorrow. The more you procrastinate, the more you miss a  lifetime opportunity.
“Procrastination is the foundation of all disasters” – Pandom Poikilos
Utilize your leisure and idle time, leisure time is  just an additional time for you to produce results, to relax, rethink and refuel. Leisure time is a time for you  to learn and come out with great ideas. Use your leisure and idle time profitably.
Finally, there is time for everything under the sun, a time to sleep and a time to work. Don’t use the time meant for relaxation to work and vice versa. Don’t do the right thing at the wrong time or the wrong thing at the right time.
Time waits for no man, use your time wisely and emerge a champion.
Remember, every time that cannot be accounted for is a wasted time.
Make every time accountable.

BREAKING THE JINX

The history of mankind has been driven by  traditions, culture, beliefs, laws and theories, some unnecessary and inappropriate in this current trend of globalization.
Until we lay off and discard some of the laws, theories, tradition and beliefs established in the past, we will never advance beyond where we are right now.
We have to wonder why the western world has advanced and is still advancing more than Africa. We were told that Africa was the “birthplace of civilization”,  can Africa still proudly say that today, what happened to the “birthplace of civilization”?  Why is the development gap between Africa and the western world so wide?   Is it even possible for Africa to catch up. It is commonly believed in the west in the past and even up to today that Africa is about 200 years behind civilization, they believe Africa is far lagging behind. Lord Luggard was not far from the truth when he said “Africans are lovers of music, dance, culture and tradition, they clinge so tight to their culture and beliefs and they are short sighted, they have no plan for the future”.
I found the answer to all these countless questions, we Africans are too relaxed and we clinge so tight to our culture and beliefs laid down by our ancestors, we never care to know where, when and why such traditions were made. We need to wake up.
How can Africans still be charging and collecting bride price in the 21st century, to me it sounds like selling your daughter with a price, marriage and love is a thing of the heart and not a trading transaction, but Africans have turned marriage to a business, where the parents and relatives of the daughter or bride extort their In-Laws to be, marriage is now a business Enterprise. Where, why and when was The act of paying bride price formulated? This is the reason why most men see their wives as their properties.
In the 21st century, where the role of girls and women in the development of the society is considered very important, some Africans still treat women as unequal, this belief has truncated the future of many intelligent and bright young women and girls, many girls are deprived of education and instead they are reserved to the kitchen and sold off for marriage. Statistics have shown that women that are privileged to be educated usually perform better than their male counterparts in every facet of the society, we can even draw examples like Margaret Thatcher (The Iron Lady), Sirleaf Johnsn, Malala , a very young female Activist from Pakistan fighting for Girls and women rights all over the world. There are more and more women like that proving beyond reasonable doubts that the role of women in the development of the society cannot be over emphasized. We should discard that belief that see women as second class citizens and as the properties of their husbands, women are not properties.
Africa is still so lagging in civilization that we believe and relax because of what we told and taught that it was our colonial masters that caused our present predicaments, that it was Europe that under developed Africa, how true is that? It was not only Africa that was colonized, was USA not colonized?, India was also colonized, Britain that colonized Us were colonized by the Saxons, so why is Africa's case different?  Most Europeans left Africa before the discovery of most of our resources and they even laid down good Institutions for Africa, in aspect of religion, education and health Institutions. So what convincing reason can we give?
Africans are the architects of their own present under development.
Albert Einstein had to discard Isaac Newton's law of nature and created His which is still in use today, Martin Luther had to lead a Reformation against the church to free Christianity from some old and baseless beliefs and traditions.
Though i am not discarding the importance of history to Man's development, but history should not hold us back or determine Our future advancement.
We Africans are generally lazy to study, understand and digest our history, culture, traditions, beliefs, laws and theories talk less of  breaking them and creating new ones. Remember You have to study the rules very well so You can break them and create new ones.
We are too relax and satisfied with what was laid down for us by the past generations, we have to break the jinx and determine our own development, advancement and progress. Let the past be the past and let's work for future development, the only thing that is constant in life is change.
I stand to be corrected
Have a lovely week ahead.
