Money
Money is not the root of evil, the Bible made this clear. It says, the love of money is the root of all evil. Having money or becoming rich is not the issue here, but the love of money. This simply means when you are desperate to make money, you can do anything at all. When you reach this point, it is safe for us to say you are in the phas of "the love of money" which ends up bringing in evil.
Often times, the thing with money is that you never get satisfied. No matter how much you have, you still want more. You will find out that when you said all you needed was $200 yet you still wanted more.
When you meet a particular milestone or goal as regards your finance, you tend to set more goals. This is to show that money doesn't bring full satisfaction. This is why the richest man in the world today, still works really hard to make more money.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying you shouldn't make more money than you already have. Infact by all right mean do. The higher you go, the higher the responsibility that comes your way. Big money, big problems is what I call it.
Money can also be seen to define success, but success is not generally based on your financial status. Although being financially okay, means you being successful in your finance.
Back to where we started, money is not the root of evil, but at this point poverty is now a root that causes evil. Poverty will lead to the love of money. Let me explain this point please.
Most times people that were not born rich, simply put, were not born with a silver spoon! Try as much as possible to get out of poverty, so they work hard. It get to a point of working hard and not seeing the kind of results they want, and they are being offered with some kind of huge money to do simple stuffs. Now after carrying out such task, the bigger money is put before them, this time to carry out a bad task. Well some have not seen this kind of big money before, so they get tempted to take it. What if the poverty is so much and probably a family member of theirs is in a life and death situation and all it takes to get out if such situation is money? Money not even up what is being offered here. There is a high probability that such person will compromise, in order to save a life.
But the case is different if the person was born rich, born with a silver spoon and still has money. There will be no need trying to use money to compromise his good morals and standard, because money is something he already has. Seeing and owning huge sums of money is something he is already used to, it is already something he probably grew up with.
Since we now know what leads to the root of all evil, it is pertinent that we note it and stay away from it.
One last thing, money is simply paper, and it is the reward you get, in exchange of the value to give. In essence, do not chase money, instead chase value. Give value and it will be reward with money.
The girl vs the boy child
Maybe you are a guy, a man or let's just say maybe you are a male, and you have sometimes wondered what it feels like being a girl.
I hear people say "to become a man is not a day's job" while others say "to become a man is not very easy". I also sometimes say "to become a woman is not a day's job".
You see, being a man or being a woman is a function of growth, and growth doesn't come in one day. It takes time, well it depends of how much of a man or how much of a woman you'd like to become.
So let's dive into the female skin. When I say the female skin, I am simply talking about 'what it feels like to be a girl or a female'.
In a world like ours, females are saddled with a lot of responsibilities right from the girlhood stage. At age 3 to age 4 you will find the girl child playing mummy roles with her toys. She cooks unreal food for them, she bathes them, she even clothe them. In Nigeria you will find the girl child carrying her toy in her back, as though it were a living being. She wasn't born with this mindset, but she subconsciously watched and learnt from her parents and yes! Her environment, but first parents, because parents are the first teachers a child gets to have. This play principle could also go for some male children. But what happens when the girl child and the boy child begins to interact with other people, maybe at school, church, the park, the market, places outside their houses with their parents? The girl child begins to be shown some kind of attention because in the mind of her parents, she is a woman hence she will soon be saddled with the responsibilities that comes with being a woman, and when her time comes she becomes a home keeper. Catering for her future spouse and her future child or children as the case maybe.
From an early age, she is being taught and she begins to practice how to become a woman and a mother. When she becomes 13, she is now used to all the drama and responsibilities.
But then this is teenage - hood for her, and it is quite different from where she is coming from, childhood. Although all the responsibilities upon her still the same, but she is new to the reality of puberty. Both male and female sexs comes to this point, so I won't be dwelling much on this part. Let us not forget a typical African style, where since she is now at her puberty stage, she is been taught a new phase of woman hood. She learns. And before you know it, she has entered a new realm of responsibilities. She starts to control and master her emotions, which is usually not very easy like the normal cooking and cleaning she is used to. At age 16-19 she has almost become a master of her emotions, but with all the training she is still the weak one.
She is weak, the Christian holy book calls her a weak vessel. She begins to look upon someone of the male sex, someone around her age but she finds none. Why? Because while she was getting prepared to become a woman, remember she started early (age 3), her supposed crush wasn't preparing to become a man.
It seems normal, but it is not right to prepare the girl child early, and prepare the boy child late, sometimes never prepared.
Even though all the preparations has formed her, it was also a difficult journey for her. But here sh is made and still getting made at age 21.
A genius is you
Who is a genius? I can not agree with the speculation that there are some people who are tagged geniuses. I believe that everyone out there, everyone on Earth is a genius. For example my kind of genius, is not your kind of genius. Why? You will agree with me that there are some things that you are very good at, but it's well the opposite with me. I am talking about things you do very easily, sometimes these things will take me time to do, while some other persons will struggle to get it done, some might never be able to get it done.
I don't think it is safe to say that there are specific characteristics that geniuses posses. We are all different and unique beings, even though some of us might look alike. Especially in the case of twins, yeah identical twins. A clear example of my view is that no two people have the same fingerprint. Now this means that no matter what, no matter the resemblance, there is still a distinctive feature amongst everyone. Fingerprinting has proved this to us beyond reasonable doubt.
If we didn't come from Apes, like what science has taught us, which I strongly disbelieve. We are higher beings, and there is no way we could ever come from Apes. There is no proven case to show that an Ape successfully turned into a human being. If you agree with me, then you also agree with me that since we are higher beings, it will only take a much more than being to create us, to form us. I believe this much more higher being is God.
He has formed us differently, and has put in us the genius ability. I mean us, yes! Everyone of us. So I ask again, who is a genius. Don't worry I will reply now.
A genius is you
