The loose-loose-game; unwinnable scenario!!!

The loose-loose-game; unwinnable scenario!!!

Couple of years ago, I witnessed a game between a young girl and her elder sister. In this game, a stone is hidden in one palm of the sister, the hand is sent back and the stone left on a chair without the kid’s knowledge. The two hands are brought forward again simultaneously and the kid is asked to guess which hand contains the stone. She never got any of the chances right because the stone is in neither of the two palms. I call this game ‘the loose-loose-game’. It is an unwinnable scenario!

Some youths instead of striving harder towards achieving their set goals, have entrusted their future in the hands of some families and friends who they thought will assist them in the course of their lives. Unfortunately some of these relatives do not carry them to their desired destination. In the long run, they only give ‘tangible’ excuses whenever they are approached. Like the kid who couldn’t win in ‘the loose-loose- game’, you too can never go higher in life when you indulge in the blame game and entrust your future in the hands of wrong people. So get up and start fighting for your own future!

When the game is over

When the game is over As a person, some events of life keep me in the classroom of lessons. One of such is the passing on of mankind; you will not live forever. The world is filled with evils, lies, pain and death and you can’t hide from it, you can only face it. Sorry, I don’t intend to make you sad but that is the reality. Ha-ha, rejoice! There are good things too, through Christ Jesus our Lord, if you don’t have him seek for him. In fact, Life is a journey not so much to a destination, there are no winners and there are no losers. Frankly speaking, the person you may recognize useless today might be the one to help you out tomorrow. So you see, who won? I personally believe victory should be counted by the number of lives saved, your impact to the society and the legacy you leave behind. Dear reader, what have you done for your generation? After a football match it is obvious for spectators to tell who performed well and who ...

Keep it up!!!

Keep it up!!! Dedication: To Miss Mariama Sulemana, a member of the Pentecost Students and Associates (PENSA), UCC, Ghana who completed not long ago. In the junior and senior high schools of my country, a student who usually scores good marks in examinations is accorded with the statement ‘keep it up’. These words are very powerful and really motivational when one takes time to think about it carefully. Unfortunately So many people took these words for granted in those days because maybe they couldn’t analyses it critically. To confess, I personally took it for granted too until Miss Mariama motivated me with these words when my first article was published. In fact, there was a particular message I wanted to deliver to a certain category of people which has been fulfilled. But here am I being trapped with the words ‘keep it up’. Well, let me keep it up until I have nothing to write. Dear reader never forget these powerful words in your life. In ...

Start work!!!

Start work!!! In the examination room, there are certain rules you need to follow. One of such rules is to wait patiently until you are told to start work. Sometimes some students don’t start on time because they couldn’t pay careful attention when the siren was rang for starting work or were even paying attention but couldn’t hear the announcement, leading to poor performance. All I am saying is there are rules and you are obliged to follow them. This applies to the journey of life as well; there are rules and you need to follow them: you really need to get started in order to get things moving. The Law of Cause and Effect states that everything happens for a reason; there is a cause for every effect. This implies that, as long as you stay idle all things remain stagnant. Unfortunately so many people are comfortably siting, standing or even lying down on their own way to success, thinking someone will pull them with a rope to their destination. Belo...
