When or where there is competition, contention or fault-finding rather than cooperation, appreciation and team-building, then and there will there be a markedly limited communal or social development.  Now, this is often a sign of lack of true leadership.  It is not necessarily lack of technical skill, expertise, competence, experience or even management. Leadership is like a lid or stopper which determines the overall rise or fall of communities and countries. No nation or organization can rise above the level of leadership that they have. This is in line with the Leadership Law of the Lid as described by leadership expert John C. Maxwell. The law states that a leader's effectiveness is limited by their leadership ability, which acts as a "lid" on their potential and the potential of their team or organization.  It means one's capacity to lead directly influences how far their followers and the entire endeavor can meaningfully or authentically make good progress. Le...

Even when people are past their prime or are no longer as famous, popular, reigning or trending as they used to be before, we should not abandon those who have been a blessing to us before. A lot of people are not loyal but are just leeches. They jump on those who are hot cakes just to use them to climb to the top. They are social climbers. They don’t really care about people, regardless of how charismatic and charming they may appear. They are very clever and strategic performers. They have no basic or sustained love and loyalty. They simply target and roll with anyone who can take them to their next level of self-actualization. It’s all a selfish game and they don’t empathize with those who have challenges yet they want people to empathize with them when they have challenges. Selfishness is a very strange, satanic and dark character trait—even those who have it hâte to see it in others or to be at the receiving end of it. If you have a bad break, people don’t care and in fact some of...

Fame is a dicey and dangerous thing with potential for both great good and great evíl. For starters, you don’t seem to have a life of your own—you stay in hiding or activate undercover and disguise. But more importantly, whatever you do is either highly praised or highly criticized—because it is highly publicized. Now, if what you do or say is wrong or right but it is criticized, you can get positive feedback to correct or improve on it—again, whether good or bad. However the danger is that when you say or do something that is wrong and you know it’s wrong, there are people who will still like it because they like you—therein lies the greatest danger of fame. You must be able to have your own internal check system, moral compass or ethical code to guide you on the reality and implications of your external actions and decisions. Moreso, you have to have a growth mindset that ensures you are continuously working on yourself and improving so that you can be yourself and that authentic sel...

I do not suppose there is an intelligent atheist:  The crude atheist categorically denies and rejects the existence of God because they can’t PROVE it. That is unfounded denial and sheer prejudice. Admitted ignorance would be more noble. An intelligent mind would rather say this:  I do not KNOW if there is God or not… However I’m WILLING to know and ACCEPT the fact of the existence of God IF I find it to be true. But if I can’t find a good reason to accept the idea of the existence of God, then I would be content to admit that I do NOT know if there is God. That’s the logical and rational way to go about it. This is more sensible than to claim there is no God.  So it is better to admit to current ignorance than to presume a pseudo knowledge which is unfounded or based on denial of possibility of the unknown. Keeping an open mind, not letting preconceptions or biases shut one’s mind off to said possibility. A stark atheist’s position thus seems illogical to me. Abientot!

Men, listen up! What type of dressing of a lady can make you see or want to consider her as potential life partner? Then what kind of dressing makes you cringe and view a lady as using her body to get attention or to stimulate horny feelings, inviting men to fantasize, frolic or flirt? For example, swimming trunks are used to swim. Such gears are worn in swimming pool areas.  Imagine a lady wearing that to church or an office? Or even to a public market place or a social event? So why do some ladies feel a need to post pictures of themselves in swimming trunks on social media? Why not enjoy them privately—for private viewing? Are the various angles for full-body public viewing? Are they looking for validation and/or customers? Are they being intentional and strategic with it? Are all these some sort of coded thirst traps? Really, no matter how much some ladies try to justify their indecent dressing in public, it speaks volumes about them—whether right or wrong. It may be that they ...
