A story of my confused state

  2018, I moved to Ogun state and had to seek employment in a school within my vicinity. As a Lagos teacher, I was used to a vibrant class, swift answers and mushy acts by my students. So I resumed at my new work place with that fully charged energy. The first day got me confused. I was to teach the primary classes, I started my class and it was obvious these children were not following. They could neither understand what I was saying nor did they show any bit of interest. It was then I knew I had to start from the scratch. First, I had to create a connection. I wanted them to understand that I am first their friend. I needed to set the foundation that they can have both a friend and teacher in one. After that, I came down to their level. I made them feel and appreciate every little progress they made. I built up their interest in education. We worked together, applying several strategies I discovered and created, and within some month the growth was evident. Eureka is a book that ...

FARSIGHTEDNESS

One of the many things that came to mind is what I'll share with you in this post.
I came across a person who has set standards for liking people, and pitiably, these standards express the myopic state of a human mind.

This stirred something somewhat deep in my heart and I'll like the world to know.

Something that will stay with us forever is the diversity of personalities and identities.
An educated mind will set standards with this concept in mind.
It's not wrong to decide who you like or not, what is unthinkable is when you base your criteria for liking people on almost negligible and shallow standards, such as financial status, ethnicity, good looks, etc.

We should have the initiative to see beyond those, to search out the intents of the heart and the true colour of a person, before we decide who is worth our affection or not.
Others should be judged on the basis of true character, not on some shallow good looks and the likes.
High-quality people do not often come in garments laced with gold or with heavenly accent or portraying the Absalomic beauty/handsomeness.

Search for this set of people with the eyes of your mind, not with the eyes of your head.
Besides, myopia is a disease detrimental to our psychological health.

Farsightedness is a quality we can neither overlook nor sidestep. It will do us a lot of good to see beyond the farthest distance our natural eyes can see.
Our minds have to be connected to the mind of the universe, in order to glean the picture of what a thousand years will look like and the marks we have to stamp on the sands of time.

Life is not a phase, it's a series of phases.
And its power and cunningness lie in the hands of those who can see beyond the farthest.

How far do you see? How far do I see?
These are questions we should begin to ask ourselves, and they require us working towards real answers.

MY TALENT, MY PRIDE( DISCOVER YOURSELF)

Bola,Tayo, Ayo amd Bimpe where very close friends. they are the type of kids every parents would always pray to have. Bola was a very talented singer, she sings like an angel and everyone adores her. Tayo too was a good dancer, he is so flexible that one would wonder if his body where made of foam. Ayo wasn't left out, he was so good with spellings, he could spell words those older than him would find difficult spelling. Bimpe felt like the odd one out,"why am i the one without a talent"she would always say to herself. whenever she went out with her friends for talents audition she would always feel left out because she has nothing to present. she would always cry her eyes out sometimes wishing she was her friends. she envied her friends talents and most times prayed to God to make her a singer, dancer or a good speller. when she saw her prayers have been ignored by God she started attending dance and music classes, she would always go to her friend Ayo to teach ...
