DO NOT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER

-

I have noticed we tend to judge people by the way they look. If he is tall and handsome with a good dress sense, "he is a responsible young man". If she has charisma, and 'ugly', "she is very intelligent, the 'ugly' girls are more intelligent because they look serious".
When has behaviour and character become something you can detect by mere looking at a person's physique?
Why are people so quick to judge others by the outward appearance?
To make matters worse; some single men and women fall into that trap in making marital decisions. "She is too fat, she won't meet my expectations of a wife", he is too short, he can't be romantic, infact will he climb a stool just to give me a kiss?"
************
That a book cover is beautiful does not mean the content will also be beautiful, a book cover is not attractive isn't a guarantee that it will not  be mind-blowing.
The saddest part is that even the so-called 'sanctified' are making this mistake. In the book of first Samuel 16, we see a prophet of God also making the blonder. For how long are we going to wallow in this blonder and expect to get a maximal result out of life?
Let us pay more attention to one another, let us look closely, open the book and browse the content first before you decide if it's a good book or not. Abeg e don do! A word they say is enough for the wise. Lots of gracias for your time. Cheers!

CARELESS WORDS

-

  ********************* There is a fact we need to always take cognisance of: WORDS are POWERFUL! WORDS CAN EITHER MAKE OR BREAK A PERSON OR A RELATIONSHIP. Words can move a person to tears or propel laughter. Someone once said, “Words are sometimes more destructive than nuclear bomb”. Well, it's true, so you need to be careful how you speak to people or address a person. Some hurtful words can make the recipient feel so bad, feel mentally battered or even begin to have suicidal thoughts. A thought that just came to my mind concerning the effect of words is this: Comedians make people laugh, what do they use? WORDS! The suicide bombers are manipulated to carry out their dastardly act through what? WORDS! They are usually not forced to become suicide bombers, all their manipulators use are WORDS. YOU SEE THE POWER OF WORDS? God made the world through words. That means IF THE RIGHT WORDS CAN CREATE, THE WRONG WORDS CAN ALSO DESTROY WHAT HAS BEEN CREATED. Be mindful of what you say.

CELEBRATING IMPACT:- MR EMMANUEL

Mr. Emmanuel was one of my favourite teachers in secondary school. He was our Christian Religious Studies (CRS) teacher. HE WAS A VERY GOOD TEACHER. That subject he taught; CRS is a subject that most students usually find boring and uninteresting . But I can assure you that CRS is not boring, only the teacher teaching it can make it appear to be so. THE WAY AND MANNER A TEACHER TEACHES A SUBJECT CAN DETERMINE WHETHER STUDENTS WILL LIKE IT OR NOT. Also, have you noticed that if a student dislikes a teacher, it affects the student's attention span on that subject and by extension affects their performance in that subject? That takes me back to Mr. Emmanuel. There was never a dull moment in this man's classes despite the fact that he teaches one of the subjects students term 'boring'. Muslims or Islamic students who saw how he explained the topics in Christian Religious Studies and gesticulates always snuck into his classes so as not to be left out of the fun that is usua

THE OPPORTUNITIES YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN

In life, there are times when opportunities are either given to us or handed down to us. Opportunities given are the ones you get NOT because you are related or affiliated to the the giver. Opportunities handed down are the ones you get BECAUSE OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP or affiliation to the giver. Some have been given opportunities that has turned them into billionaires. Maybe all they needed was capital to bring their ideas into reality. They get the money and boom! They become rich. This happened because they did not waste the opportunity they were given. They used it well, and become successful as a result. Many people have gotten some huge opportunities that they've wasted. This happens when the opportunity looks like a small deal or it is just not looking like an opportunity.  Thomas Edison said "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work".  Take note, NOT ALL Opportunities WILL LOOK LIKE OPPORTUNITIES at first, so it is le
