Where is the love?

                                                   


What’s wrong with the world mama?
Life is no longer the same
It is like a game where only the victor enjoys
Whilst the poor are filled with shame
Languishing in misery

When I grew up people used to love
Oh! How I long for the good old days
When the old lady next door used to care
When the community used to share
When love used to be love..
When one man’s problem was also my problem 

Why do we hate?
Ask the youth, the doctors, the teachers, the politicians
They will say: “poverty is the reason why”
Has poverty robbed us of love?
Does poverty cause discrimination?

What’s wrong with the world papa?
Where is the love?
Why do we hate?
When the bible teaches us to love

Where is the love when we the youth need it the most?
What has happened to the value of humanity?
What has happened to the fairness of equality?
What has happened to the spirit of fraternity?

I wonder why people have chosen to show their immoral animosity
At a when the world needs love the most

Corruption, prostitution, brutality, immorality, death…..sorrow
This is our daily bread
It is high time we sought God’s divine intervention

The influence in a leader

Every song comes from another song, every leader succeeds another, every story end is the beginning of another, every person is from a successfully fertilised sperm and every story repeats and continues another. Likewise success breeds success and so shall the sperm of success when natured, monitored and groomed well it shall produce success. The power of influence can only be useful when put into motion , the same applies with leaders who have influence but don’t direct it towards transforming societies. The power of influence however cannot function without the necessary environment.Influencial leaders are people who are able to create a conducive environment for them to exert that influence, they don’t force people to buy into their vision but their works act as a bait to lure followers. Influence is earned over time, remember that there is always competition for it .In the same fashion only a competitive sperm can result in fertilisation. “We are all cut out from the sam...

Money :Is it the greatest source of motivation?

Some call it cash money, imali, muler  ,some say its the love of it is the root of all evil whilst others say it makes the world go around.The most interesting thing about money is that some of us cannot leve without it and neither can they live with it for to them its a case of "more money more problems" .Over the years,scholars have argued that: "the greatest source of motivation is money.Well we all need money as a means of exchange and to facilitate trade transactions and a store of value .However ,to a greater extent money has failed to motivate many people for  the greatest motivator is a strong, clear and passionate vision. This surpasses the desire for money or any gain whatsoever!Money cannot buy you a vision but a clear vision can get you money.

The power of motivation

The power of motivation is the positive feeling that we give to others ,that jump- starter ,that push ,that support,that understanding,that voice that says to someone :"Yes you can do it " makes a difference on a daily basis .The power of what we say to others has the potential of nurturing great leaders or to totally destroy them ,for indeed there is power in what we say .As such a good leaders have the ability to motivate ,to acknowledge and appraise good perfomance that is  done by others Motivation is spiritual and leadership is viral.Motivation is not a new subject but an old theory which is still practical and relevant in both leadership and management   today,tomorrow and in the future.Stay motivated!!
