“Sometimes you don’t realize your own strength until you come face to face with your greatest weakness.” –  Susan Gale “Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives.” –  Tony Robbins “Man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only for one second without hope” –  Hal Lindsey “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” –  Dale Carnegie “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.” –  Mary Anne Radmacher “The brave may not live forever, but the cautious dont live at all.” – Ashley L “Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in th...

Today, I want to discuss with you on mentorship. By the way, what is mentorship?    Mentorship  is a  personal development  a relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person.

One day after attending a church service in London, I spent several hours going through bookshops looking for a bible translation called The Living Bible. There were no Amazon or Internet editions in those days, so I just had to go from shop to shop. The reason I was looking so determinedly for this translation was because of something that had been preached that morning about the meaning of Matthew 12:35 (based on this translation): "A good man's speech reveals the rich treasures within him. An evil-hearted man is filled with venom, and his speech reveals it." Verse 36, shows us that "words" can be "good or evil treasure," and they come out of the way you speak or express yourself on any issue. “. . .The most important part of your life is actually the ability to use words. Words define your life; words define your values. Words define your personality. You are no better than your words; you are no greater than your words. The character of yo...
