Okay, time for some real talk.
So, when was the last time you
had a real talk with your teenager. I mean a meaningful eye to eye, heart to
heart conversation that bothered on your teenager’s welfare. I have been
working with children and teenagers for many years, even before I became a Christian,

It’s a book about money - making it,

financial stability and independence should read it. Now, you are thinking, ‘oh, not another book on finance,’ especially

Prof. Grace Alele Williams
There
is a quote that says, ‘people with
passion can change the world for the better.’ Well, I’ll also add that to
impact positively, passion must be constructively driven. Passion is the energy
we need to follow through with our dreams. I think if you don’t have passion for anything, you cannot amount to
anything.

Writers have
the tendency to neglect their health as they dig for writing ideas, task the mind on the choice of words
and expressions, race to meet deadlines
etc. if you are passionate about writing, you must have subjected your body to
some unhealthy practices. Well, as the year round off, we must decide to take
care of ourselves, so we can continue to write.

It

I am currently reading an e-book titled About Writing by Michael LaRocca. It’s
a great book for those who want to improve their writing. In it are some quotes
by writers. Some are instructive, some comical and some
downright ludicrous. I had to go on the web to check out the bios of some of those writers and see what made them impressive. Enjoy the snippets.

I love life stories.
History and literature were my favorites in high school. I’m

they do and how they do it.

anything without a Motive. That’s what drives us and defines who we are. Mimi’s story shows that our motives have the power or

When
we set goals, we are excited. We start to pursue with zeal and make good progress for a few weeks. Then gradually,
other things come up to distract us. After several
failed attempts to continue, we get discouraged, abandon the project and don’t
even bother setting goals anymore.
But
goal setting is important in the school of success. It is God’s principle. Before
