VICTIMS OF FATE
Life is a matter of two choices, either You are good or evil, malign or benign, benevolent or malevolent, on the right path or the wrong path, Right or wrong choice, it all depends on You. Nature have so much preconditioned our subconscious and cognitive mind in a fashionable manner that we are embedded with an ability to make choices to determine the outcome of our life and future. Which means that we are the architect of any present condition or situation we find Ourselves, not anybody else.
Life is not a matter of chance or luck but a matter of choices.
Any situation the world find itself in was as a result of choices and decisions made in the past.
Now the question suffice? “Are we VICTIMS OF FATE? “
Our fate is believed to be that inevitable occurrence that is bound to befall us no matter what. Nobody was predestined to be born with a unfortunate occurrence that is inevitable. The main reason why many have been at the mercy of faith was because they remain satisfy with their present situations, while others are ignorant of the fact that they have the power to determine how their life will be, many people were born into severely poor families, an average, negligent Individual will perceive this to be the fate of his family without realising the potential within and the power to change your fate. This is the reason why many Individuals will not be blamed for cutting links with their cultural and ancestral heritage because of some things or events that are passed down from generation to generation.
Many people's proposed fate project a life of misery and fear and it also blinds them from seeing the opportunity in store for them.
       You are subject to the choices You make and not your fate. Make the right choices, break the jinx, set the pace and see a positive outcome.

   Remember You are the sole author and script writer of your life, don’t allow another author or a Generalist belief or view to determine how your life and future will be. A popular Nigerian proverbs says;
     “To lie down resigned to fate is madness”
But there is only one fate which is inevitable and that will befall man, that has been recorded by history which is the climax of history, the day of final reckoning. They is the only fate that is set to befall man
        In conclusion, It is your choice to either remain as a Prisoner of Fate or You set a new course for your and make decisions concerning your life, after all it is the duty of any sane Human to make choices and to also take responsibility for those decisions either good or bad. Make the right decisions and escape the whims of “fate”.

THE ANT TALE- 7 LIFE LESSONS FROM AN ANT.

Ants are known to be one of the tiniest living Organisms, they possess some qualities which give them an edge over other living Organisms.

1. Ants are good team players: When You observe ants, You hardly see an ant working or moving alone. Ants work together as a team to build the colony. Every team in the colony have their specific task which they collectively accomplish together. They all work together in defend in and building the colony, as well as scavenging for food. It takes a Group of ants to kill a cockroach.   "No man is an island, two heads are better than one. 
2. Ants are Good time Managers: Ants are good time Managers because they spend their time wisely. There is time for working and a time for resting. " A time well spent is a future well assured and secured"
3. Ants always plan Ahead: Ants are always good planners because they effectively plan their time wisely for the days of scarcity.  " He who fails to plan is planning to fail"
4. Ants help and serve One Another:Ants assist any one of them injured or under attack by an enemy, ants also help each other in carrying food too heavy for a single ant to carry, Ants do not turn blind eye to the plight of their fellow ants, they watch out for each other.   "People helping one another can bring an elephant into the house"- Rwanda proverb
5. Ants are hardworking: As small as an ant is, it has one of the highest work rate among living Organisms. Ants can travel with food up to 200 metre and they can do this up to ten times travelling the same distance.   " Plans are only good intentions unless they immediately degenerate into Hardwork. 
6. Ants are Organised and Disciplined: Ants are so organized that there is division of labour in a colony, there are the Soldiers that defend the colony, the builders that build the nest and the workers that go in search of food, they are also organized that there is effective communication system, either by leaving trails to a food source or by touching and emitting chemicals. Even when Group of ants are returning with food, they usually maintain a straight line. And they also have storage facilities in their Nests.   "With Self-discipline, almost anything is possible"
7. Ants are Survivors: Ants have the ability to adapt and survive in any New or unfavorable Environment or under any condition. Despite the fact that ants are among the most smallest and most endangered Living Organisms, they have carved out and developed means to survive and dapt under difficult conditions.     "Life is all about survival of the fittest"

So today marks a remembrance of September 11, 2001, popularly known as 9/11.
On this day Passenger Airplanes were hijacked by a Terrorist Group believed to be Al Qaeda and they crashed in the World Trade Centre, The Pentagon and the last which was to crash in the Capitol state building crashed instead in a nearby field. Many lives were lost. The US and the whole world was in shock and Osama Bin Laden boasted to the world the strength of His new Terrorist Group.
After many years of the 9/11, how has the world fared in preventing terrorism?
How have we prevented another 9/11. How have we prevented the proliferation of terrorism.
Once again, RIP to the victims of 9/11 and their families.

WE ARE THE CHANGE
Change is a state of the mind
Change begins when you are ready,
Change begins when we are set,
To rid our minds off the old ways and habits,
When we are ready and willing to learn from our mistakes
And face the consequences of our past misdeeds.
When we learn from the past
And chart a course for the future


Change is not when we remain docile,
And expect things or events to unfold.
Change is not when play the blame game
Change is not when we do the same thing,
And expect a different result
Change is not when we cry
When we havehave not  tried
Change is not a mere rhetoric,
Change is an action
Change is not when we spend
While we have not earned
Change is not when we sleep
And expect a leap



Change comes with pains and toils
Change comes with challenging and high demands
For there is no gain without pain
Change is sacrificing for a common good
Change comes with the right
And positive mental attitude
Change is not far away
Change is right in front of You,
You have but a step between You and change.
Change begins with You
Each step you take
Sets You on the path of change
Until You are right,
Your world will remain wrong
Until You work on Yourself,
You will never see change.


Change is possible
Only when You deem it so
Remember!!!!
Your world will never change,
Your society will never change
Your friends will never change
Until You change.
Change is an action
Change is an attitude
Change is learning
Change is the adoption of a new approach to life.
Change begins with a drastic revolution.
Change is a mental state of mind
Change is a resolve to experience something new
Change begins with You
Change is a deviation from the normal and conventional way of doing things.
You are the change you have been waiting for


Happy new month, welcome to a September to remember.

Good evening friends,
Read this wonderful piece from one of Bowen's talented writer, who also happens to be an Entrepreneur and an ALUMNI of the Department of History and International Relations, Bowen University.
Read and learn alot.


  THE WILD ONES
                   We are Royalty
We are the kings that don’t have a crown boldly seated
 on the top of our heads, but we have a heart that is wild
and brave enough to rule over our dispriviledges,
we have made the world our palace.
And have built our throne untop  our misfortunes.
     
We possess the aura of kingship,
We breathe the air of supreme divination ,
We may not wear crowns, but our permanent rule is guaranteed,
We are free spirited,  we either find a way or we make our way

We may not be  bounded by Royal ethics , laws and doctrines,
But our pride is rested in our morals, and the ethics of right and wrong
This our law, we carry our heads high, and gracefully fight for our own
Chambers in this large palace, we dance to our tunes,  as we are pleased.

We are the kings that don’t have staffs to accompany us wherever we go,
Neither do we have lasting beads worn across our wrists and neck
We wear our pride and our shamelessness helps to maneuver
 and breakthrough the walls of hunger.

Only the wild ones will survive,
 our teeth are sharp enough to supply our needs accordingly,
and our hands are  strong enough to till and toil to ensure our daily survival,
regardless the peril in the woods that seeks to invade our kingdom.

We are royalty, we will only bow to whoever we choose to,
The Golden fish has no hiding place,
Therefore, we know that someday, our crown will be visible to the world
Because we are Royalty.

Read this mind blowing wriite up from an inspired soul.
I wasn’t born like this, shackles and scars as adornment. No i was born as You were. Tears of joy amid sweats. A strong mother held me close to Her bosom, while a proud father stared at me in awe. I was born to live just as You do. To rule and reign just like You do. Why should i pay for the sins of selfish and wicked capitalists in time past, who in their greedy myopic and twisted minds turned the future of an entire race around by making the Predecessors into slaves. Dragged across seas, they germinated a single seed of this devilish idea into a global strong hold of racial injustice and societal stereotype.
Today the shackles and chains no longer hang around my neck, but the mental slavery persists. You see my hair as been unruly and dirty, while you see my skin as inferior and second class. And yet You blame my aggression and condemn my insolence.
Sorry for not being sorry, but it is either fight or be oppressed.
Till my voice is heard in your corridors and chambers, till my skin regains its glory in your sight, i will not stop, i will not relent, I will not rest till the mental shackles are lifted, and my race reigns.

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.
      “Every time spent wrongly is an opportunity wasted”
