DO YOU LISTEN? ~Seyiwryte   I have a similar story, that building is completely useless. I remembered, 11 years ago I was there, I lived there and it was like that. You mean nothing has changed? Omotola spoke with so much energy. Her friend, Lade kept looking at her. Lade had earlier requested to see Omotola to discuss what was going on at the building. Omotola wouldn't even allow  Lade speak. She kept talking and talking. Frustrated and more confused, Lade said "Omotola, that's enough, I will sort myself, you can leave now" "I invited you here to share my problems and seek solutions but you have been talking about yourself and your past experiences, comparing my situation with yours. Omotola, learn to listen to people, you don't have to compare your story with theirs. I called you here to listen and not bore me with stories," Lade continued. Ooooh! My friend, I'm sorry, I was carried away and I didn't even realise I have been the onl...

COMMON SENSE For over 15 minutes, she was completely wordless and there was nothing she could say. She will look around and look at the young man. I sat behind and kept wondering what was happening. In few seconds, I got it. The young man spoke again, this time he looked into her eyes and said "can you say something about this?

A YEAR AND MORE. A step at a time. Take it easy on yourself but make sure you are productive in all you do. It's so easy to set goals. I know right. What if we begin to give so much energy and strength to birthing those dreams and goals. I know people who set goals and never work or walk towards them. I know you know them too, I hope you are not one of them. Are you? Don't be carried away with the trend of setting goals, being pressurized and then end up not doing anything. Here is a reminder that the clock is ticking and the hours are moving. That's not a threat but time is precious, don't sit and watch.  If you must act, then act.  Act by doing and not just writing and saying. By doing the things we said we will do, we are closer to our successes. If we desire greatness, we have to travel to where it lives. If we want success, we have to journey through the road that leads to success. Don't just set goals, make sure you are ready to follow ...
