SIX LEADERSHIP PRINCIPLES TO LEARN FROM AN EAGLE....

1. Eagles fly Alone and at High Altitudes. They don't fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds. *MEANING; Stay away from narrow-minded people, those that bring you down. Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep good company. 2. Eagles have an Accurate Vision. They have the ability to focus on something as far as 5km away. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it. *MEANING; Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacles and you will succeed. 3. Eagles do not Eat Dead things. They Feed only on Fresh Prey. *MEANING; Do not rely on your past success, keep looking for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it belongs, in the past. 4. Eagles Love the Storm. When clouds gather, the eagle gets excited, the eagle uses the storms wind to lift itself higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagle uses the raging storm to lift itself above the clouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide a...

3 Key Steps To Happiness.

  Happiness   is that feeling that comes over you when you know life is good and you can't help but smile. It's the opposite of sadness.  Happiness  is a sense of well-being, joy, or contentment. When people are successful, or safe, or lucky, they feel  happiness . Most people aspire for total satisfaction, content, peace, and balance within themselves. This is commonly referred to as  happiness . Although we may not be completely sure of what it means at first, we all fantasize about it. However, the real question is not what happiness is, but how we reach it. I cannot say that the last four years of my life have been miserable, overflowing with problems nor that I was drowning in an ocean of hatred. Nevertheless, that did not stop me from being unhappy, for feeling as if I was not worth it or unsatisfied. Unfortunately it took me years to find a cure which I am now sharing with you. But thanks to this simple however complex formula called, ‘ T...

Are we supposed to be afraid of God?

JimsBlog Posts from the Pastor of Richmond's First Baptist Chu Skip to content BY  JIM SOMERVILL    Sunday’s sermon touched on some questions I’ve been getting in “Talkback,” my weekly question-and-answer sessions with First Baptist Church’s adult Sunday school classes.  This excerpt deals with one of those questions. Sometimes, in my Talkback sessions, someone will ask about that biblical expression, “the fear of the Lord.”  “Are we supposed to be afraid of God?” they ask.  No.  That’s not what the word  fear  means, not in that context.  It means something more like “awe,” or “reverence,” or “profound respect.”  But you can see where the word came from, can’t you?  From an experience like this one at Mount Sinai (Exodus 19): where Moses went up to receive the Ten Commandments and the people trembled in fear before the mountain of the Lord.  And when the writer of Proverbs said, “The fear of the Lord i...

FREQUENT CHANGES IN OUR EDUCATION POLICY A SOURCE FOR CONFUSION WITHIN THE SYSTEM

             Sometimes one wonders if the policy makers of this country have a direction. Just as this situation applies to every aspect of our national life, it appears more confusing and directionless in the area of our education system. Our education policies seem to emerge from the whims of our heads of states who know little or nothing about education or from our ministers of education who are not clear headed enough to appreciate the direction to which they plunge the country’s education system. The Gowon administration announced the Universal Primary education programme which came into effect in 1976 even before our National Policy on Education was formulated. When Babs Fafunwan was minister of education of this country (1990-1992) he unwittingly scrapped core subjects from the curriculum of our teacher education programme at the NCE level. Thus such subjects as History and Geography were replaced with social studies while in the scien...

Tonto Dikeh Reveals Separation From Husband, Churchill Olakunle

Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has revealed she and her husband, Churchill Olakunle are no longer together and he has not called to check up on her and their son since she left. She wrote; “Dear ‘concerned’ fan, Good day. How are you and your family? My regards, love and greetings to them. Now to address a little bit of your letter, firstly I say I do appreciate your concern. Then I move on to say thank you. When a woman leaves her husband, she takes her child because absolutely nothing else matters to her but the child. This is what I did and I happily give all access for his father to see him.

I will admit, I personally blocked his access to me for the sake of my emotional stability. But nonetheless he has the nannys no, my assistants contact,my part time helps number, and many other mediums of reaching the son your source claims I “took away”. He co...

Appeals court will not reinstate Trump's travel ban

     SAN FRANCISCO -- A federal appeals court refused Thursday to reinstate President Donald Trump's ban on travellers from seven predominantly Muslim nations, dealing another legal setback to the new administration's immigration policy. In a unanimous decision, the panel of three judges from the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined to block a lower-court ruling that suspended the ban and allowed previously barred travellers to enter the U.S. An appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court is possible. The court rejected the administration's claim that it did not have the authority to review the president's executive order. RELATED STORIES Why hasn't Trump tweeted about the Quebec shooting?
