Changed Perspective As I looked around, many things have changed. From aesthetics, lifestyles, values, people's choice character and even perspective. To change is one of the most difficult thing to embrace. It takes courage to change, isn't it? It takes a strong will and determination to imbibe a new chapter in life. It is challenging indeed to face what could possibly happen when things are not usually the same before. Are you ready? Am i ready? I used to be an employee for more than a decade. A career man who is devoted to serving and pleasing the managers of different institutions i was connected before. Ever since i was young, what instilled in my conscious mind is that, i will study hard and after that look for a job and work. I love my chosen profession being in the medical field. Helping people who are in need of healthcare services. I became passionate about it. Rendering extended hours due to call of duty is my pleasure. Its so gratifying that your patients are thankful of you too. I was able to work in an academic institution too where i became a university instructor for many years. This time, I'm no dealing with sick patients instead are lively and enthusiastic young people who want to pursue your footsteps. Its an elation therefore. As a teacher, I was challenged on how to deal with students of different characters and behaviors. Room management is a kill. Imagine from healthcare professional to becoming an educator is quite a big leap in my career. But one thing I learned, I was able to unveil my potentials as a person. I thought, it is where Im going to spend the remaining years of my career because Im so much comfortable at that. But things had changed in the advent of COVID-19 pandemic. I lost my job in an instant but hope is there that I could regain my work after a while. But things didn't gone so well, chances grew thinner and thinner to get back to the same institution. So while being idle at home, a sudden knock of opportunity came and that is to venture into business. This is something I never considered before. I refused to think about it several times, but someone compel in my mind to really consider such. But how can I, I have no money for a capitalization. And I finally made a try. This was the time that I was penniless. But I realized that when God's plan is revealed, it could be in our lowest point of our life. Where we can say that its impossible. But courage comes not from me but it is from the Holy Spirit of God who worked in me. To open a business in place where I am a total stranger,a business that is not a commodity, no connections is so much a challenge. What I only had was my family, God and self motivation. I totally surrendered everything to God. From our daily operations, payables and all other expenditures. But without a doubt God sustained everything. I started to gain connections from different individuals and institutions. After all, its all God's will. I thought before that I can only be an employee for the rest of my career but God wanted me to become more than what I desire. Now, I am a full pledge business man with a heart. In the Book of Proverbs, it says "we can make plans for ourselves but God's plan will always prevail". How is this possible? Surrender and commit your life to the Lord including your plans and He will prosper us. All the works of our hands will become fruitful.

Dare To Know Me Opportunity only knocks once in a while, and if it happens, grab it!! I never imagined that even at this age, I can be a writer. Who would have thought about it? But honestly, I was a frustrated writer. I wanted to write an article, an editorial, commentaries or anything under the sun. But unfortunately, I was not given a chance. This platform has given me an opportunity to rekindle within me the fire in my heart to write, to tell my story, my thoughts and experiences. I am a middle-aged man, happily married and a father of two wonderful boys. I was raised from a simple family. My mother was then a public school teacher and my father was a tricycle operator. I have two more siblings and Im a middle child. As a child, I was a dreamer, dreaming of a wonderful life in the future. The simplicity of our family life helped me dream of an extravagant life but not a total luxury. I was so contented with what we have in the past. Daily needs were provided by my parents. They never failed to send us to school from primary to tertiary education. They provided everything they can afford to. We never demanded because we understand our parents financial capacity. What's more important to us, basic needs are served on the table. We never starved or deprived of the basic needs. We are happily living in a small bonggalow. We were raised with discipline. My mother is a disciplinarian, that's the reason perhaps that I am very cautious of my actions up to these days. I am afraid to commit mistakes and want everything in order because that was how I was taught. I value the words of my mother, that is why I am somehow like her, such her progeny. Most of my characters emanate form my mother. But surely, her negative character are filtered to me already. Who I am today was nurtured by no less than my mother. Im very passionate with all the things that I am doing. I always put my heart on it. Whether I like it or not, there is my heart always. I care for my loved ones, especially my family. There is no more important things in this world than my family. They are precious like no other. I have no circle of friends, I would rather stay at home and take care of my family or do the household chores. It's really my delight doing such things than roaming outside. I am so meticulous in terms of cleanliness and quality of work. Perfection is always what I want. But I am a humble person, easy to deal with, approachable and open minded. I am not friendly, but I can be a friend. I do not socialize, but I can be sociable. I am not showy, but I am lovable. I am not a joker, but I am hilarious sometimes. In short, I am a flexible person. I can work with anybody with different personality. My spiritual life is also flourished. I grew up in a Protestant principle church. Every sunday is a church day. When I got married, my faith is sharpen with the help of my wife. I am now involved in church activities. And with God's grace, me and my wife are now members of the church music team. I have already a daily devotion through bible journal. Truly, my life now is far better than I used to be. I am a professional health care provider. A self employed man. I own a clinical laboratory in our small town. It is my passion to deliver health services. It is mission to prosper this business while making a significance in the community. God is the reason of everything that I am and everything that I have. To live in His presence is the ultimate satisfaction in life. All glory to Him alone!
