THE CHRONICLES OF A HEBREW CHILD

-

Going through my literary repertoire I stumbled on something I wrote on some years back. It’s something I found very inspiring, informative and thought provoking enough to share with you with some little additions. Succinct and precise to teach young people and help with Parenting- its titled THE CHRONICLES OF A HEBREW CHILD:
Decade of learning - Age 0 to 9 years (little wonder, at age 3 an Hebrew child in enrolled at the school with the Rabbi to learn the laws of Moses by heart)
Decade of discovery- Age 10 to 19 years- We call it the teenage years, the Hebrew Child is expected to discover himself- David killed his own Goliath- Joseph sold to Egypt and discovered his own gifts and achieved his own dreams, Sheidrach Meshach and Abednego together with Daniel discovered themselves in Babylon.

Decade of decision- Age 20 to 29 years- Most Hebrew Boys make decisions that either made or marred them at this period;  Absalom, Solomon for instance- one bad the other good.
Decade of Reigning age 30 to 39 years- Most (though not all) Hebrew Kings are enthroned at this age. Some may not be kings but attain positions of repute, power or recognition. It may not be a kingdom or empire but it could be business.
Decade of expansion age 40 to 49 years -Most Kings, Rulers or even a head of a sect seeks growth and expansion a after establishing themselves.
Decade of consolidation age 50 to 59 yrs- Consolidating on previous on current victories or achievements. Need to enlarge your coast to become even better and compliant with current trends.
Decade of handover - 60 - 69 years- The need to have a ready successor or worthy apprentice becomes the highlight of your life- the need for continuation of your dreams and ambitions.
Season of Rest -70 years and above- The hallmark of success is rest and success of your successor.
Between the Decade of discovery, Decisions and Reigning is the TIME TO UNLEASH:
TO UNLEASH
-You need to start early
-You need to dream well & dream big but...it doesn't cost anything.
-But after the dream you need to START little
-Don't get caught in the excuse game.
-Have a positive attitude always.
-Above all and most important – You need to remember the Lord your God... for its He who gives you power to make wealth.

MENDING MIND

Clouds forming off a crux whirl Thoughts come rolling awhile Of my past reminiscing in a matrix With turbulent unending affix From my curly lowly lonely hearts Whispering conscientious arts Reaching into imagination untold Hoping for positive to unfold Of possible plausible joy that could But not sure that's all that would Our humanity in this we see Of our flaws we suffer some fee Our mind travel but its often gaged By many, any and every often tagged Should I rise from all irrespective I only pray for a new perspective

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?

-
  The power of imagination and the power of believe are like Siamese twin, once you have the ability to imagine the result you desire, your belief in what you imagined will bring home the result. The question you need to answer at every point what do I believe in. Like Henry said, "if you think yo can, you can, if you think you can't, you are also right". You are only as able as what you believe. You don't go into a battle expecting to lose because if that is what your believe is, you don't need to bother, it is a done deal, the battle is in deed lost! Once you have sorted out what you believe (which is half way the journey, however an important half), the next then is you then channel your effort to what you believe in. What do you believe in? you believe in that prospect, in that person, in that project in that possibility... What do you believe in? They say ''believe you can then can what you believe and sit on the can''. but before you can do a

A CHAPTER FROM MY LIFE STORY

-
Named Seth because I was a gift after the loss of a child. The 5th Child of 6 siblings raised by a Military man with discipline of the highest 'quality'.  Mum was a house wife into small.scale trading. Dad a devoted christian, deacon & who gave little or no liberty. My first real liberty was choosing to go to University of Ilorin instead of University of Ibadan so as to be away from home and refusing to start over at OAU to read law (which we both wanted before) but I was already in 2nd year in University of Ilorin. He wasn't going to pay my school fees any more because I disappointed him with that decisional not to go start over  and get the chance to be a Lawyer. Economically were weren't the poorest but not rich either. We got basic needs but sometimes we had to wait and pray for the source of the next meal. My parents had to borrow to send us through school because my father promised to send everyone through higher institutions at any cost even if he had to be
