THE KENDER BRAND

The rains had been torrential all through the night, but at early hours of the morning the rains receded giving way for the brightness of the sun to be admired by all. I had woken up quite late due to the rains and had a hasty preparation for the training. I walked into the hall rather late, but thankfully the organizers had same excuse as I. The first session was just too cold for the cold room we all sat in. I had noticed him when I walked in with my head down to avoid the piercing eyes of the men in the room. My dress was unconventionally short for the occasion which made me squirm at intervals. Then he walked up to the stage and left me in awe. Everywhere livened up as he spoke avidly on the subject matter. His little sized body complemented his in dept knowledge of his profession. So articulating and detailed to a fault. I was mesmerized at how he combined flattery, jokes and sales all together.  Trust me I was lost at some point. Not because of my lack of knowledge o

Oh Life! How do I even start... Is it from your early struggles.... Or the never ending worries.... Is it the fear of the future that weighs heavily on you... Or the assumed arrival that others have of you, Yet you know you are far away.... You were told from childhood ''Stand up for your self and don't expect anyone to hand success over to you'' You clearly misread that cause you were coerced into making most of your decisions. Then you grow up into independence and these questions keep running through your mind Can I ever make it big? Can I stand strong to achieving my dreams? What if the dreams are too big..........(am sure someone else is doing it and I can't be better)    You lay awake at night, tossing and turning. Remembering how little the recent pay cheque is and how far success seems. I'm done your mind screams. I will go with the flow.  You wake up the next morning and forget your dreams. Your once cher

Once I used to be indifferent about the state of the things in the country Once I used to think that just my family and few close friends mattered Once I neglected to vote.........Just cause I felt that My vote didn't count Once I felt the government was far away from me and so long as I had breath in my nostrils, I will fight for survival. Now I know BETTER!  Nigeria is mine and I must fight for not just my family and few friends, but for the thousands of lives that die daily due to  Poverty Unemployment Disease.......etc I'm deeply pained at the way things have gone from bad to worse. Maybe am affected now because am an adult and I fend for myself. I feel the pain most parents go through when they can't provide for their families. Now what's my pain? When I heard of the protest/march, I was happy. I longed for the day to come so I could equally express my self via any means comfortable . I was grateful for the platform ma

What happens when you get to work and you are told your services are no longer needed?...............In essence fired! What happens when you invest all you had into a business and it collapses? What happens when after many years of hard work and strive and yet there is nothing to show for it What happens when the world treats you with disdain and disrespect like you are nothing? What happens when situation bangs your head against the wall? The answer is NEVER GIVE UP. Am not writing from a perfect point of view. Am actually writing from experience. I have experienced the lowest point of my life and I know someone maybe in that situation now. Rock bottom is the lowest point of one's life. It's that stage of your life when everything seems never to work and you are down all by yourself. Rock bottom is a terrible experience and most people at this point give up on life. Some commit suicide or even get dissociated from the world. Being fully

Dreams without goals are just dreams and overtime they breed disappointment. It's not enough to dream. Its not enough to aspire and wish for things to happen. Take extra steps of determination and persistence to bring those dreams to reality. Those are the two necessary habit every winner should imbibe. I won't tell you achieving your dreams would be easy. No! Actually its not easy. Things gets so tough and difficult that you are pushed several times against the wall. But you will have to make a commitment in your life to live that life you dream. That is what keeps you going through the difficult days. A committed life to living your dreams is what Is required. Listen! It's either you work hard to produce results or you give reasons why you ain't achieving your dreams. It's either results or reasons. Which are you breeding? You have to make that decision right now. Be decisive Be fearless Be dauntless Acknowledge that you have got all

If you die today, what gifts, abilities and talents are you going to the grave with? Look into the future, what do you want to be known for? What do you want out of life? If you have not sat down to answer these questions explicitly, then you need to. Take time all by yourself, without distractions and find out who you want to be. Discover the gifts and talents inside of you. When you have done that, leave your comfort zone and get on with impacting the world with it. The world is too noisy. The world is full of people who just want money for survival and nothing else. They are hopeless wanderers who pass through the world with no aim and influence others to do so. You are not like that. Have an aim for existing Live a purpose driven life. Be passionate about life and the course of living. Exploring yourself would surprise you. You will discover how rich you are. Bear in mind, the gifts inside of you are not meant to entertain you. Its for the world. You must learn

What is that one thing you are sure of? Who is that person you believe so much that you nod your head 100% to his/ her ideas and opinions. If there is anybody to be sure of......its YOU. The truth is that no one cares about how good you are except you. The way you carry yourself is a reflection of the level of confidence you have in yourself. Do you believe you are the best or you just assume that maybe you are just good enough. (Just maybe I'm good and if I try, by chance I can be taken for a particular job). Listen! If you believe you are the best painter in the world, you will carry yourself like the best, relate to others like the best and act same too. I know we all have that mental doubt, that comes to play in our minds, but what makes others confident of who they are is that they DON'T dwell on those mental doubts. They forge ahead and prove those doubt's wrong. Drown the voice that antagonizes your self worth. Rise above "maybe I can be the bes
