Wise quotes


As a man was passing the elephants🐘, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants🐘 could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”


Truth is, just like the elephants, some of us believe we can not succeed in a thing because we have failed before. We should learn from our failures and not be a slave to them. You can have an A in a course you failed. Have a positive mindset.

Wrong number - Episode 5

The next day came, I prayed to the God my mother serves that morning in tears because I did not have the nerve to refer to him as my God at that moment knowing what I had done. I also prayed for my mother. I called her full name in my prayer. “Abigail Oluwadbunmi Isaac, o ni foju sukun omo, Ina omo oni jo e loruko Jesu.” _Abigail Oluwabunmi Isaac, you will not weep over your child and you won’t loose any of your children_ I felt that prayer needed to be said in my language. We set out with no hospital in mind. We saw a hospital and decided to try it. We are about to enter the gate and something brought me to a sudden halt. I tried taking another step but there seem to be a force tugging on me . Right there I knew it was a sign. “Tunde! I’m not setting my foot inside this hospital, let’s check out another one” He looked at me and he was like what’s going on. “What’s wrong with this one nau, let’s go in first and make enquiries” “No, I said firmly. My spirit is against this h

What to Do When Your Passion Isn’t Enough

When building something, anything, most people will tell you, “Never let that passion die!” “Always remember why you started!” “Always make sure that your love for what you do is burning bright!” People will remind you repeatedly to keep pushing forward and to stay as dedicated as you were on day one. Of course, when you’re on the first few days of your project, you’re wildly motivated, as if nothing could go wrong. You know you’re strong enough and you believe that you can do it. And you probably can. But sometimes the reality is that you realize no matter how passionate you are, it doesn’t seem to be enough. When this realization hits you, what do you do? 1. Be honest with yourself. Instead of running out the door and going on a hunt for more passion, stop, sit and talk to yourself about what’s going on. How willing are you to figure out how to make things work when they’re not? If you doubt your ability, no level of passion will help you succeed. When things get shaky, do
