NON SLAVERY BONDAGE

I have been quite busy lately facing the challenge of academic progression; this is not an exact excuse for my inability to upload my write ups here though.
To the point of the day:
Non Slavery Bondage gives an impression that is quite indisputably relevant when the ideas of freedom is contestable.
Following the current ills in our present dispensation and the optimism of a better future we realize that we have submitted our lives to a façade of fate which is to say the least an abstraction from reality.
We are not slaves, yet we are bonded.
What a world full of sheer sundry vestiges.
Triumph beyond expectation

SUCCESS AND CHALLENGE

SUCCESS AND CHALLENGE
“Most times people adjudged capable become proud”…Oladele Femi
In the news and in reality, most people that are proclaimed successful are those who at first were deemed incapable.
It is fair to conclude therefore that “success could be invariably linked to challenge”.
When people throw you away, because they feel you are invaluable to their course of action, but you remain undaunted, the challenge builds your strength and you succeed.
Sometimes you might not even be able to handle the task which you believe you can handle, but persistence and resilience will make you an achiever.
Always remember that challenge spurs the greatness in you.

RESPONSE IN ANGER

RESPONSE IN ANGER

Wading through a line of ants, people get so careful. Most times when people disrupt their line and some ants get stuck to the intruder’s body, the intruder suffers major or minor bites contingent upon response. My question now is if the response by the ant(s) is a response in anger.
Do ants get angry and is "bite" their way of response?

ANTICS, MANTIC AND TACTICS

ANTICS, MANTIC AND TACTICS (AMT)

AMT sounds more like every acronym in vogue, but here the use is strangely and loosely obsequious.
Antics can be used to describe pranks most times silly;
Mantic describes the ability to prophesy; and
Tactics loosely refer to diplomacy and strategy.
These three terms form a corpus of intelligent grammatical language/use. However, this piece is not to stress their grammatical or rhythmical outlook but to enrich us through careful demonstration of their effects on our decisions.
When faced with dicey situations, every individual is expected to act with total disregard for the minor variables and expend most thoughts on the major variables, but we tend to forget that those minor variables if duly provided for can be a source for undermining the hitherto assumed major variables and likely solutions may emerge.
Whatever our line of action: antics or mantic or tactics, we should be aware that we do not act in isolation of assumed minor decisions.

UNENDING PRAISE

When I recall the hymn that reads in part
"It is well with my soul" I tend to wonder. Staring most times at the men (feeble men) who wrote those inspirational pieces as though I could see them and explain away the reasons for their overwhelming joy.
People have gone through a lot and even in those darkest hours they sang to praise GOD.
I think about the many struggles in my heart and the heartaches but I still find a place in GOD; a place of solace to say THANK YOU JESUS.
HE deserves my unending praise.

TRUTH

"Truth when it makes no difference, makes no difference"...OLADELE Femi
When faced with situations that are likely to make you lie but you do otherwise, then you have attained a "truth-stance."
However, when you relate something that is obvious, then we can't really say it is true.
This implies that opportunity to lie gives "truth" its true definition.
My desire is to speak the truth always, you should consider it too.
When you decide to speak the truth, then you will have many opportunities to lie (with the resultant effect of cover-up,) don't give in.
Best wishes...

Responsibility

"I ain't scared of responsibility, my irresponsibility scares me"...Oladele Femi
Evaluating every second of my life brought me to this realization.
And now I figured it is best to consider your ability to respond to responsibility a goal rather than a gift. I mean you should aspire to fine tune your response to responsibilities.
At no point should you be scared to take on a challenge, but please reconsider when you realize that your ability to deliver is shaky. This ability however is not the outcome of a heavy head analysis, but an evaluation of your strength (intrinsic and extrinsic.)
Don't rush into the conclusion that you will be unable to function well, probably because success rate in that field is zero, take on the challenge.
This paradox is to spur your heart to realize that you should acknowledge every responsibility as an opportunity to bring out of you a part of you that you hither to didn't know or to harness other skills inherent in people close to you.
Responsibility knocks everyday.
Take it on...

TRUST

TRUST

In dealing with people I have come to realize that my definition of trust is inadequate.

So I have two sides to trust

1.      I have never seen him/her do this; or

2.      He/she will never do this?

In dealing with people, what’s your definition of trust? It is quite advisable to qualify your trust for people.

In your mind, you should know when you trust someone by saying “oh I have always/never seen him/her do it so I guess he/she won’t or will as the case may be. Or I am confident he/she will/won’t do it.

I know you might say the second scenario best describes “trust” but if you are a frequent reader here you will recall the post titled “who is really a thief?” and be further enthralled.

Don’t get caught in the web of “trust”

Be safe…Best wishes…DESIRE

MOVING HIGHER

An interplay between acceptance and workability is vaguely unrealistic...Oladele Femi
Getting into an Information Technology (IT) debate with a friend about its workability in some organizational units created a bit of a heat when he chose to settle for the fold-my-hand-and-look (FMHAL) syndrome.
Thinking about this afterwards made to look to issues that we now accept with retrospect. I discovered that most things that we now accept are things that people stood for when others felt it will not work.
If we continue to insist on FMHAL, then we rob ourselves of development in its essence.
Even the manual systems widely accepted today were developed by people of strong will who felt things could be better and that's the spirit that prevails.
Resilience and insistence of the workability of your ideas does not amount to coercion; it is entirely different from trying to force your opinion on others.
Please strive to drop the FMHAL syndrome wherever it applies in your life and you will enjoy an enriched life. 

EXCHANGE RATIO

EXCHANGE RATIO ANALYSIS "Examination of the superlative languor formed as a result of the disparate interplay between our outward experiences and our inner desires"...Oladele Femi Though this sounds more like economics or financial management terminology, I have coined it to context to explain the interplay between our external experiences and our internal desires. My placement or arrangement (placing external before internal) is deliberate though some may argue that it is from "within" that we have our "without". There could be (and most times is) a disparate interplay not suggested only by prevailing circumstances but by other factors best known to us. How do we handle it? The exchange ratio comes to explain that if we allow ourselves to languish in a state of ennui, then we deprive ourselves of the most valuable success we could explore if we introspectively reevaluate our desires in tandem with our experiences. There should not be any time for steady regret my friend...DESIRE loves to see you excel
