Talk the Talk and Walk the Talk!
On the 28th of September, 2004 (On this day, 11 years ago!), while in my final year in the University as an undergraduate, I organized a two-day Seminar on "Creative Thinking" and I was the Host Speaker.
About 110 people attended the Seminar on the 1st day- including a Professor (the Guest Speaker); one of my Lecturers; two practicing Engineers; An Accountant; a Secondary School Student; a young high school leaver; Medical students; Law students; Engineering students; Basic Medical Science Students; Maths Students; Agric Students- etc...-cutting accross various departments of that Campus.
On the 1st day, that 28th September,2004, I spoke on:
"The Power of Thoughts and Creative Thinking"
Here are some salient points from that Speech:
"Thoughts are silent conversations going on right between our subconscious mind and our conscious mind"
"Thoughts have changed the world; is changing the world; and will continue to change the world, into whatever God has planned it to be!"
"Through the power of thoughts, man has touched the depths of the oceans; the sky and outer space have witnessed the power of thoughts."
"Through the power of thought, you can travel back into your past; and through it, you can travel into your future"
"The subconscious mind synthesizes thoughts; the conscious mind analyzes thoughts. As the subconscious synthesizes, the conscious does the analysis of the thoughts: The conscious mind asks- is that reasonable, realistic...?.etc.."
"There are such things as 'reasonable thinking', 'realistic thinking', 'negative thinking', 'positive thinking', 'creative thinking', and even, 'destructive thinking'!"
"Do not allow your conscious mind to always tear down the thoughts that your subconscious mind generates, by over analyzing and through premature judgment!"
"Picture in your mind the able, earnest, useful person you desire to be, and the thought you hold is hourly transforming you into that particular individual you so admire."- Elbert Hubbard.
"If you don't use your brain to think, your brain will shrink!"
"As you think, act; as you act, think!- Thinking-Acting and Acting-Thinking."
"Creative thinking is the ability to capture the thoughts that is being generated in your subconscious mind and bring them to your conscious mind in order to solve a given problem or develop a 'new' concept."
"The Power of God for Creativity: where do good thoughts come from? Who is the Originator of good thoughts? I believe good thoughts come from God, which when men make good use of, can be for the betterment of the lot of mankind on earth."
That was 11 years ago, BUT I still use these principles till this very day.
Now, talk is cheap, REALLY CHEAP- I know that very well! So I have always try not just to, as they say, talk the talk, but also to walk the talk!
I have been writing a book for the past 12 years and I have not published it, because I want to first WALK MY TALK!
And I thank God, I have good experiences to share:
Today, I am the Area Business Manager (South-South, South-East, Nigeria) of a Multinational Pharmaceutical Company (present in over 60 countries of the world). A position I have been holding and growing in, close to four years now.
In June, this year, I was in Nairobi, Kenya, to receive an Excellence Award from the CEO/Director of the Company I work with and also to experience the wild life of Kenya- beautiful experience!
I also have a blog www.hellotoexcellence.blogspot.com where I share my Inspirational thoughts with the world!
I have given Inspirational Speeches to Secondary School Students, Undergraduates, National Youth Service Corp Members, Sub- Ordinates..etc...
My 1st Book will SOON go to the press!
Most importantly, I am married with two kids (Joan and Joshua).
And of GREATER Importance, I am BORN AGAIN!!!
And, Excellence is a NEVER ENDING Journey, I am still SAILING!!!
Looking back to a day like this, 28th September, 11 years ago, and all that I have been through- the highs and the lows; the ups and downs- I can't but just give all the GLORY UNTO THE LORD!

Greed Stinks and Stings!
GREED STINKS AND STINGS!
My heart bleeds for men that are conquered by greed!
I plead with them to see the need to be freed from greed!
I want them to know that God has enough for men's needs, but not for their greed!
Let them heed this warning:
The seeds of greed that they sow will grow to become evil weeds which will endanger their own souls and the souls of their children and even children's children's!!
Beware of greed!!!
On June 4th 2015, I penned down the below:
*FIFA is having fever
*Disease of greed
*Grabbing beyond needs
*Eating the future's seeds
*What a world body
*That belongs to somebody!
#Greed Stinks!!

God's Rain for Life's Gain
God's Rain For Life's Gain
Grain by grain
As we pick our seeds,
And pray for God's rain
Sowing day by day, good deeds,
Our labour shall not go down the drain
And our garden won't be killed by weeds
We won't labour in vain
As we embrace good creeds
And daily develop our brains
As we constantly consume mental feeds
God 'll definitely give us our life's gains
And He 'll undoubtedly supply our needs
We shall not live in pain
If we remember to shun greed
And pursue not the minor but the main
Let us, against evil ambitions, take heed
And let us not kill our brothers like Cain
So shall we from evils be free and freed!
