THE CHAMPIONS SERIES (50), "MAD MEN"


 


WHO ARE THOSE YOU CALL YOUR FRIENDS?

 

There is a popular saying that states that, “show me your friends and I will tell you who you are.”

The holy bible also said, “Do not be so deceive and misled! Evil companionships (communion, associations) corrupt and deprave good manners and morals and character.” (1COR 15:33 AMP)

 Those you call your friends matter a lot, they play a major role in what you will become in the future.

Your friends will either make you or mare you. That’s what it is.

 I would like you to consider those who are into crime, how did they get into it? a friend introduced them, those who are into prostitution, who introduced them into it? A friend.

 Now let’s go back to campus, remember when some persons came the first into the campus, their very serious, some came with the mindset of graduating with a first-class, some with the mindset of serving God, while some came with the mindset of living a quiet life, but unfortunately, some of these persons ended up graduating with a pass, some became malpractice lords and specialists in bribing lecturers, some ended up as prostitute and cultists.

What happened? The friends they associated with, corrupted their dreams, and drained their vision. I guess you know such persons and I hope you’re not one of them or about to be one of them.

Again I say be careful of those you call your friend. Anybody you call your friends and such person is not adding to your life, it’s time to yank that person off your life.

       

Anyone who is not heading your way, shouldn’t be on the same vehicle with you. For example, if you are going to Sokoto, you cannot enter the same vehicle with someone going to Calabar. Be wise!

Those who journey with you matters a lot, they determine to a great extent how your journey would be. Take only the right people with you.

Those who will encourage you, tell you the truth, assist you when things go wrong, those who will stand by you in times of trouble, and those who are ready to sacrifice their lives for you.

 

       The reason I call these men mad is that they care less about popular opinions and criticism. They focus more on their journey in life. They’re not after pleasing men, but giving their quota to the world, they are ready to be alone rather than to be entangled with negative and cynical people or friends. 

They rather live a fruitful life than die in pretense or wallow in excuses.

 

They have learned the difference between chance and choice, assumption and reality, luck and hard work, luxury, and investment. They are not after fame but making an impact. 

 

WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WHAT IS YOUR GOAL IN LIFE?

 These set of persons are visionary, they don’t live their life to chance, they have a template for every season of their lives.

They have an unshakable faith in themselves and God, they see only possibilities and envision success, no matter how difficult their path leads, they don’t quit.

 

CAN YOU HOLD ON TO YOUR VISION EVEN IF THE WORLD IS AGAINST YOU?

 

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

“No one gets very far unless he accomplishes the impossible at least once a day.”- Elbert Hubbard

#THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 73, TOPIC: WHY WE LOSE/MISS OPPORTUNITIES

  TOPIC: WHY WE MISS OPPORTUNITIES. “Opportunity comes to those who seek for it, not those who wait for it.” Opportunities don't wait for anyone, you have to seek and find them.           Opportunities are everywhere, they exist around us, they increase by the day as knowledge increase, you have to build capacity to maximize them.   Most persons have been forced to believe that opportunities are meant for some few “lucky” fellows, that’s a lie, anyone can encounter opportunities, it all depends on your level of preparation and commitment to take the bold and impossible step. Michael Dell said, “It’s through curiosity and looking at opportunities in new ways that we’ve always mapped our path.” Try to live beyond the status quo.   REASONS WHY PEOPLE LOSE/MISS OPPORTUNITIES. There are diverse reasons why people miss/loss opportunities, but I'll focus on just three reasons, they're as follow; 1.      LACK OF SELF-D...

POEM TITLED: WHO ARE YOU?

  Perhaps, we are not afraid to die But of our kin vanishing when we stagger with cravings Of our voices echoing in empty homes Empty homes that once roared with thrill and glee For if we sit and think of the life a single breath holds, How shortly a name sticks in our mouths, And how very shortly it vanishes We will be still With purpose in our eyes, we roam the earth The lies we live guard against reality and true persona The alarm goes off, We jump into the streets to a place we many a time hate To an environment that gives our souls treachery colours Time is a monster When it takes, it takes everything Do you know why we write our names on things? Perchance if your answer is same as mine, We should write our names on our bodies too. Then again, we do not. Because we own ourselves? No That golden recollection of who we are is what we own Especially in a world that forgets The silence can stroll in anytime The lips that once said our names will shut their doors You see, warnings ...

#THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 72, TOPIC: I AM A WOMAN

  I Am A Woman INTRODUCTION: After birth, as we grew, we were taught to understand the implication of our gender, the consequences of making wrong actions and attributes that distinguish you from the male gender. For some of us, we raised questions, our minds wondered ‘Why is it so hard to be a woman or a girl, as the case may be?’ But other times, we uttered words like ‘Thank God I'm not a man'. So we found ourselves accepting our gender definition when the condition was favorable and appealing, and also wishing we had made another choice, if we could, as far as gender was concerned. May I remind you that once you cannot accept or appreciate the fact that you came as a woman, you would always find fault in ‘being a woman', you would never consider yourself good enough as a woman. CAN I BE ANYTHING ELSE? Let's talk about me for a moment. I am a woman (well, I would define myself better as a Lady, with respect to age and marital status). But, the list progres...
