A wise old man was sitting at the river bank. He saw a cat that had fallen into the river struggling to save itself from drowning. The man decided to save the cat. He stretched out his hand towards the cat but the cat scratched him. He pulled his hand back in pain. However, a few minutes later he stretched out his hand again to save the cat, but it scratched him again, and again he pulled his hand back in pain. A few minutes later he was again trying for the third time !! A young man, who was nearby watching what was happening, yelled out, "O wise man, you have not learned your lesson the first time, nor the second time, and now you are trying to save the cat a third time ?" The wise man paid no heed to that man's scolding, and kept on trying until he managed to save the cat. He then walked over to the man, and patted his shoulder saying:, "My son... it is in the cat's nature to scratch, and it is in my nature to love and have sympathy. Why do you w

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. Courtesy: Moses Efekodo Director of Fin

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
