A bag heavy with gold or a clay tablet carved with words of wisdom; if thou hadst thy choice which wouldst thou choose?
Hear the wild dogs out there in the night. They howl and wail because they are lean with hunger, yet feed them and what do they?
Fight and strut. Then fight and strut some more giving no to the morrow that will surely come.
"Just so it is with the sons of men. Give them a choice of gold and wisdom, what do they?
IGNORE THE WISDOM AND WASTE THE GOLD.
On the morrow they wail because they've no more gold.
GOLD IS RESERVED BY THOSE WHO KNOW IT'S LAWS AND ABIDE BY THEM.

Which are you, a slave or a free man.
The soul of a free man looks at life as a series of problems to be solved and solves them while the soul of a slave whines, what can I do, who am I but a slave?
Which are you, a slave or a free man.
Which are you, a slave or a free man.
Which are you, a slave or a free man.

Is life really partial?
This question had lingered through times and ages. The reason been, why some succeed and some fail. Why some are born handicapped, why some are rich and some swim in the ocean of poverty and misery.
You may at one time or another asked yourself this question or have drawn the final conclusion that LIFE IS PARTIAL with the sole reason that, You put in lots of effort than your peers Yet, they succeed more than you do. You are more intelligent than others, yet, they are highly placed than you.
In this life, everyone has the same and equal amount of currency of trade. Which happens to be the reason why, you don’t have to sit back and bemoan yourself and live your life at the mercy of any other person. Brace yourself up, because the same 24/7 currency you have, that is what they have, the same air you breath, that is what they breath, the same chance and opportunity you have that is what they have.
Don’t live you life at the mercy of somebody, if someone, somewhere can do it and succeed, then you can also do it and succeed..
So in conclusion, LIFE IS NOT PARTIAL.
You alone are your own architecture and designer, your life is as a result of what you have designed and made it to be. Just like a building, there is still room for demolition and change. Change your perceptions, Ideologies,attitudes and character.
An idea is all it takes, find yours and of a truth you will know that “LIFE IS NOT PARTIAL”.......

THE ‘’BIG ROCKS” OF LIFE.
A while back I was reading about an expert on subject of time management. One day this expert was speaking to a group of business students and, to drive home his point, used an illustration I’m sure those students will never forget. As this man stood in front of the group of high-powered overachievers he said , “okay, time for a quiz.” Then he pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouthed mason jar and set it on a table in front of him. Then he produced about a dozen fist sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar full?”
Everyone in the class said,
“Yes.”
Then he said, “Really?” He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. Then he dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. Then he smiled and asked the group once more, “Is the jar full?” By this time the class was unto him. “probably not,” one of them answered. “Good!” he replied . And he reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in and it went into all the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, “Is this jar full?”
“No!” the class shouted. Once again he said, “Good!” Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked up at the class and asked , “What is the point of this illustration?”
One eager beaver raised his hand and said, “The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard, you can always fit some more things into it!”
“No,” the speaker replied, “that’s not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is: If you don’t put the big rocks first, you’ll never get them in at all.” The title of this letter is The “BIG ROCKS” of Life. What are the big rocks inn your life? A project that YOU want to accomplish? Time with your loved ones? Your faith,your education, you finances? A cause? Teaching or mentoring others? Remember to put the BIG ROCKS in first or you’ll never get them in at all. So when you reflect on this short story, ask yourself this question: What are the “big rocks” in my life or business?
Then put those in you jar FIRST from now on.
“He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.” – Job 28:9
