THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 81 TOPIC: AIM FOR RESPECT AND HONOR

 


“A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.” Ecc7:1 Nkjv

Anyone who wants to build a lasting success must master the act of self-respect and creating positive track record.

Today the pursuit of honour and respect is fast becoming a thing of the past, because what we are after is creating wealth and pursuing fame.

True influence and wealth are built through honour and integrity.

“Respect is reciprocal” this is a true saying, you cannot earn respect when you are worthy of it. Respect comes to those who know how to give it and how to live it.



“There are so many honourable men and women by title, with true honourable men and women missing in action”

Honour is not obtained by position or office, no!

It is a function of your lifestyle and character. It is something you build over time.

Why do you respect those you hold in high esteem?

Is it because of their riches, cars or houses?

Why is it that there are people in society who are very rich, but nobody takes them seriously?

Why do you think there are famous people who are ridiculed and shunned?

Why is it that some elderly persons are disrespected without apology?

Respect and Honor are not earned by age, nor riches, it is not earned by educational status or political office. These two phenomena are earned by impeccable demonstration of character, integrity and sacrifice.

The world will always respect men who sacrifice themselves to make the world a better place, the world will always honour a man of integrity it’s only a matter of time, and the world celebrates a man of character.

Never settle for less than the best, live a respectable life, don’t pursue money and lose your integrity, don’t pursue money and be a laughing stock or topic of trivia discussions.

 

Be that guy or lady that when people call your name it will be to praise you or advise others to be like you.

 

 QUOTE OF THE DAY:

“Live every day knowing that one day you will be no more or put every day as if it is your last?”

Introduction: Communication is the stronghold of all kinds of relationship, be it marital, friendship, career etc. Relationships are sustained and maintained by effective communication. Your ability to clearly and confidently articulate your thought, puts you at a vantage position, it gives you an edge, wherever you find yourself.

THE Champions series 63, POEM Titled: Follow Your Heart

  FOLLOW YOUR HEART We live in a society  Where minds are positioned And our thought conditioned We’re told what to think and say What to eat and not to eat Where to go and not to go What to wear and not to wear Our minds are left fallow Always on the lookout to follow Unable to make our own choices As children, we wanted something more Something more than just warm embrace We had pictures pictures of what we wanted once Stamped to our hearts We grew up and realized We had let it go like a common coat Because we were told… To follow Follow the system Follow religion before conviction Fashion before innovation Education before passion Gratification before distinction Celebration before determination Monitivity before creativity My teacher once said, Vision precedes competition Wisdom precedes ambition Journey not without your brain Men’s opinions will ruin But God’s opinion will lift you Make your decisions and follow your heart.

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 85, TOPIC: THE DANGERS OF WHAT IF?

  I have thought of the best title to give this article and the above was all I could think of. So many lives have not been inspired or will I say some destinies have been limited or simply not being helped because we have always dwelt so long on these two words “ What if ” . What if, I am criticized? What if I don’t sing the song so well? What if I fail at my first attempt and many what-ifs? IN THOSE DAYS Some of my friends and I in 2012 pioneered a group called “world-changers” and in the early stage of The initiative I had so many questions unanswered within me but somehow, I was so focused on the passion burning within me to lend my little voice to the youth who was our targeted audience? I had somewhat ifs? On my mind. Then, as an undergraduate, we had days we travelled to states for strategic meetings to plan for the world changers events , I didn’t recognize the impact of that investment we were making on ourselves and others. One of the days while we went for this...
