“YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND”

Life drives you in different locations at different times

Sometimes when I dream I see the best things in life, and I wish the dream would never end, suddenly I wake and reality hits, but it doesn’t take so long for the dream to come alive, I live my dreams, knowing that things are not usually what they seem, but the growth I have experienced in my life has been my greatest motivation.

 I remember watching a movie, “The Secret” and since then I have directly lived under the principles of the greatest law in life, “The law of attraction” the law states that whatever you get in life you attract to yourself, well most people I meet, I try to show this experience with them, and hint them on my experience in life, how directly and indirectly things I have gotten and where I am now was a direct reflection of what I actually wanted and what I craved for, well this is so true.

 I met a man whom since then has changed my life, Akinwande Ademosu, well most people might not actually know him as I call him the BTL genius, he is the MD/CEO of CREDIT DIRECT LIMITED, where I currently work, my pastor always talk about few Nigerians who started a business from nothing and made something out of it, well this is one of the few people who have done that, the company has grown and outlived those who never believed that it would well, this extremely gentleman who anyone would want to shelve because the Nigerian quality of Pride and show off isn’t actually his thing, I remember a trip we went for and as we met with officials that were to assist us, one of them asked, where is your MD, he learnt he was coming, or are we still expecting him? Meanwhile he was asking the man himself, this goes to show how humble and simple this young man is, well when he learnt that the MD was just beside him, his countenance changed and I’m sure he wondered how on earth a man of his caliber would be so simple.

 Akin as he is fondly called has been my mentor since I met him, I try to copy his lifestyle, well on a serious note this is a huge task, cos daily I see a lot he goes through and he still has time to smile, and a lot of time to share laughs with his staff, this is the most essential stuff needed for the position and he freely exhibits them. He handles issues with so much expertise, and knows something about everything and everything about something, last week were preparing for out monthly meeting and when we presented some hard core account figures to me, (I’m so hating calculations) he looked through and in a second a found out that a calculation was wrong, the guy who presented the paper could not help but ask; Akin did you study accounting? Well shockingly he didn’t, but that shows you how vast he is.

LITTLE WORDS THAT COUNTS

“WHAT IS LOVE?”

“When my grandma got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandpa does it for her now all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.” -Ruby, age 10

“Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.” -Princess, age 9

“When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.” -Kate, age 6

“Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.

My mommy and my daddy are like that.

They look gross when they kiss.” -Emi, age 7

“Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and

doesn’t think it’s gross.” -Marley, age 9

“Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and

she takes a sip before giving it to him,

to make sure the taste is OK.” -Daniel, age 7

“Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your

French fries without making them give you any of theirs.” -Christy, age 6

“You really shouldn’t say I LOVE YOU unless you mean it.

But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.” -Jane, age 10

 
We all know (I hope!) what love is, but who better to define it than a group of kids ages 4-8? You may have received this- it came via an email share to me. I shared some- not all here, though it was hard to pick as all of them were really good definitions of love.

YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE

Thankful

Unnamed poem pulled from “The Purpose Driven Life”

 You are who you are for a reason.
You’re part of an intricate plan.
You’re a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God’s special woman or man.

You look like you look for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb,
You’re just what he wanted to make.

The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom designed with God’s plan in mind,
And they bear the Master’s seal.

No, that trauma you faced was not easy.
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you’d grow.

You are who you are for a reason,
You’ve been formed by the Master’s rod.

You are who you are for a reason,
You’ve been formed by the Master’s rod.
You are who you are, beloved,
Because there is a God!

FIFA WORLD CUP 2010….

Guy do you watch the ongoing FIFA World cup? I guess yes! It is the world cup again, so much buzz, so many cameras, so much has been talked about and so many preparations gone down, now it’s here, with the thrills, moves and excitement and vuvuzela’s. some big names have been shocked with losses and others have won with a slim margin, Germany put up a brilliant performance against Australia favored to win the World cup, also USA lived up to expectation when they held England to a 1-1 draw, Japan shocked Cameroun with a 1-0 win and Italy managed a 1-1 draw with Paraguay. Gyan led Ghana to a 1-0 defeat of Serbia.

Nigeria against all odds lost to Argentina 0-1, the game was one of the most interesting match of the tournament, but personally I am impressed with the performance of the super eagles, for the first time they lost and sport journalist didn’t slaughter them, I saw a new super eagles, the same spirit in the Atlanta winning side, that shocked the world, the same spirit that beat Brazil, same was exhibited on Saturday, there was just a 1 minutes loss of concentration and the Argentines capitalized on it, Messi tried all he could but didn’t get past the brilliant Enyeama, who stood the post throughout. He did a fantastic job which won him the player of the match award. The introduction of Martins and Odewinge boosted the team but was kind of late to get a goal. But I am so certain this team would go places.

Brazil was held on for a very long time until Maicon scored a shocker, a ball which we all thought had gone out, he was so overwhelmed that he broke down in tears, well the shot from JIN the Korean would certainly have dried up his tears. The most shocking match now is that between Spain and Switzerland, with the breed of stars they have, they lost. Well it goes to show that determination pays off. Portugal played out a draw with Ivory Coast, likes of Didier Drogba, Christiano Ronaldo , Carvalho, Ferriera, Tiago and some fine breed of star adorned the pitch.

For all the excitement I got from this tournament, one thing really made me smile, the half time advert from FCMB, my Bank and I, very lovely and brilliant concept, I was blown off watching it, a man dressed in suit and Tie but wore a jersey short and football boots, the theme was share the passion, so brilliant, so no matter where you are share the passion with the super eagles, thumbs up guys, good one.

Go enjoy a few clips from the world cup as we wait for more.
