"A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul"

"A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul".There is more to what we get after working passionately and effortlessly than when we deliberately take short cuts.Many a times we are demotivated because we take short cuts,we cheat and pretend to be who we are not .We abuse other people`s names in order to advance our own individual and personal interests.Now what happens when you finally get to the victory lap,when you are finally honored for what you do not deserve ? Well i know it depends on how much of a cheat and pretender you are but the truth is that you do not feel sweet inside but instead you sweat.Remember that before we are honored we have to be humble,we have to take the long route and avoid cheating .A simple Biblical instruction is as follows :

"Humble yourself before the Lord and he will lift you up "(James 4 verse 10)

Wisdom is found in those who take advice, likewise lets take this my advice seriously.Always take note that "before honor is humility".Yes we have to be humble at all times because you will never know who the next person is or will be.I am sure we all have heard of stories of people having started from humle begginings,well we all don`t have to be like that because situations differ.However, nomatter the situation it pays more to be humble because you gain more than success .Be strong when you are weak ,be brave when you are scared and be humble when you are victorious.

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.

Does the world still have visionary leaders?

Visionary leaders are people who do not just paint a picture, but those that paint it and explain it! The whole essence of visionary leadership is rooted in one`s ability to effectively share their vision to others in such that even in their absence what they sought to achieve is achieved by others. The good thing about vision sharing is that you do not need to be there for your vision to be achieved. Most importantly you have to tackle all limitations and turn your tragedies into triumphs. The world has its own standards of determining hero and heroine status but to me it is those leaders that have turned their tragedies into triumphs and dark nights into victory that I believe deserve the status. A blind man`s world is bounded by the limits of his touch; an ignorant man`s world by the limits of his knowledge; a great man`s world by the limits of his vision .Paul Harvey What is vision?

Last Friday: Sketches from My Soul, BOOK LAUNCH

· 28 October, 2013 · Written by Chris Nqoe Rain is considered a considered a good sign in African culture and tradition. In equal comparison, time is really not a concept that’s respected by people of African descent. Now imagine our surprise this past Friday, when right on cue, 5PM to be precise, the heavens above Bulawayo opened up to bless our thirsty city with torrential rain. The random event organiser would have been caught in a panic, praying to God to cease the floodgates of Heaven and ensure invited guests made it to the Sketches from My Soul book launch at the Bulawayo Theatre. Now picture what actually transpired at the venue of the launch, right under the pouring rain. Guests were instead seemingly oblivious to the rain, posing for close to three photographers on the red carpet, capturing moments that will become WhatsApp avatars and Facebook profile pictures. Book lovers, the literati, media, poets and Bulaw...
