Have you ever wondered whom a fool is? Have you ever examined if you are one? Here are some qualities to examine if you are actually a fool! A short tempered man is a fool Only a fool despises his fathers advice. A fool knows about the future and tells everyone in details. A fool can be identified by the way he walks down the street. A fool is quick-tempered A fool thinks he needs no advice. A fool makes a promise to the lord before counting the cost. In the mouth of a fool a proverb becomes as useless as a paralysed leg. A fool argues with a rebel using fool words A dog returns to his vomit, so a fool repeats in folly A fool is being proud about plotting evil instead of covering his mouth in shame. A wise man does not display his knowledge but fool display his foolishness. A man who commits adultery is an utter fool. A fool is been flattered by vain words A fool refuses to be taught or corrected. Have you ever been a fool? Remember it is safer to meet a bear rob...

A retired teacher of English once wrote: English is a tricky language There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France.  Sweet meats are candies while sweetbreads are actually meat and non sweet.  We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If teachers taught, why don't preachers praught?.  If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?  Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to ...

Do not allow or permit your situation or circumstance dictate to you. Instead of looking back, look forward. Instead of looking outward, look inward. Instead of looking downwards, look upwards. Instead of looking sad, look happy Instead of looking rejected, accept your self Instead of being faithless, develop your faith. Instead of looking discouraged be encouraged.             (By Maranatha Oye)

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure. It just mean you haven't succeeded yet. Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing, It does mean you have learnt something. Failure doesn't mean you've been a fool to try, it does mean you were brave you had nerve. You had courage, be proud of yourself. Failures doesn't mean you"ll never make it. It does mean you may need to try once more. Failure doesn't mean you are finished, it does mean you have a Chance to start all over again. Failure doesn't mean God has abandoned you. it does mean He has a BETTER IDEA . So know this truth, failure is never the final. Originally written by Dr Robert Schulle

If you are always racing to the next moment what happens to the ones you're in? Don't mourn bad decisions overcome them good ones The only impossible journey is the one you never began (Tony Robins). Great things in business are never done by one person. They are done by a team of people (Steve Jobs) The world may say seeing is believing but the truth is believing is seeing. Take a chance! All life is a chance. The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. Life: I walk slowly but I never walk backwards.

You are already a time millionaire now go out and invest 21million seconds of time asset (Akinwumi A Adesina) Lives of great men  all remind us we can make our lives sublime, and departing leave behind us footprint on the sand of time. (Henry Wadsworth Langfellow) The height great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden...

There was once a wise old man who live on top of a mountain. (I don't know somehow or rather why old wise men always seem to stay on top of mountians) . Whenever the villagers had a problem, they would climb up the mountain and ask the old man for advice. One day, a young man (successful by the standard of the day) decided to climb up and ask the old man a question. Wise man, wise man, "he asked" what makes a man truly great?. The old man looked at him and said, do you sincerely want to know?  Yes, yes the young man said. There was once a Greek man " the old man started a story", who suffered from a deadly disease. Knowing that he was going to die, he was first to join the Army when his  country was in a battle with their enemy. Hoping to die in battle, he would fight and fight and fight exposing  himself in the front line without any worry for his life. Finally when the battle was won, he was still alive!. His General, so impressed with his bravery which c...
