TALE OF TWO BOSSES

Dear Jack,
I know you have the capacity to do more but your current results show that there are areas of improvement. You have energy and you are young but you need to direct that energy into getting results. The year has ended but your targets were not met.
I know you can do it and I believe in your ability. I look forward to you surpassing your targets next year. I am available to support you.
Dear Rose,
Your results have shown that you do not know anything. You are young but the effect is not showing in your work. You have energy but you are directing it in the wrong places.
You have shown to this organization that you can't be relied upon as you were unable to meet your target this year. You will need sit up in the coming year or you will be kicked out of this organization.
Dear Team Leads,
It is your job to help your team members grow and do well. You are to motivate them to their full potential and not demotivate them by crushing their spirits.
As the year comes to a close and you will be writing appraisals, be conscious of the words you use for your team members. Those words can either lift their spirits or depress them. The words can either make them or mar them.

WORK LIFE BALANCE: MYTH OR REALITY PART 1
The concept of balancing work and life has been a major topic amongst professionals in this age.

The ability to manage the emotional needs of family members with the expectations at work has seemed to be a difficult task.
The business environment has not helped matters and that is not peculiar to any organization. The desire to survive in the midst of the challenging economic environment has kept organizations on their toes resulting in much more sacrifices and devotion to work than ever before.
This thread is to explore the various conditions that are responsible for the imbalance between work and life and evaluate if the desire to balance it is a myth or a reality.

There are many questions to be answered. Does work life balance exist? What are we trying to balance?

When I wrote this tweet, I didn't know that 31 days after, I'll have to be calling senior police officers to come to my rescue. The harm that SARS is doing to our youths is far more than the good the section was created for. @MBuhari and @ProfOsinbajo need to do something

Being the 1st of October [a public holiday] and in the mood of celebrating the 60th anniversary of 🇳🇬 independence, I took my wife out along with three of her brothers. Another friend joined us and we had a nice time. The 3 brothers and the senior friend then headed home at Ajah.
My wife and I left and headed home. By the way, the senior friend of theirs was in a private business while the eldest of the 3 brothers works in a multinational company. We're almost home when we got a call that SARS stopped them around the 3rd round about [Lekki-Epe expressway]

I know that NASS takes 1.7% of our budget but the number taking this is less than 3,000 with 469 people taking a large chunk of it. Nigerians are feeling trampled upon when they are the only one paying this sacrifice. Let NASS and executive show us that they are with us.t
It will be ridiculous if any member of the political class deny the fact that anger is in the land. The people feel there is no pain with the political class. Leadership is by sacrifice and by example. Fuel price will still go up based on increase in crude price internationally.
When fuel price increases, it will lead to increase in price of goods and services but the political class are immune to this because they have enough money to cushion the effects. I just increased the allocation to my constituency by 36% and that is because I can afford it.

DO PEOPLE STILL LIVE AFTER THEY HAVE DIED?

The above question is a mystery that has been difficult to answer over the years. I am an ardent believer in the scriptures but things happen that we can't understand.

I will be sharing several experiences in the below thread.
Below is what the Bible say but I have encountered cases where the man who died appeared to people after they have died.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Hebrews 9:27 KJV
bible.com/bible/1/heb.9.…
Before I go into contemporary experiences, those who are familiar with the Bible will remember the event on the mountain of transfiguration where Elijah and Moses who had died hundreds of years ago appeared to Jesus and the three disciples he took to the mountain.

OPPORTUNITIES, SKILLS AND TALENTS.
The wisest man that lived expressed his observation about life and he said he realized that the fastest people don't end up winning the race and the strongest people are not usually the winners in battles.

There is something that causes that...
Also, the wisest people are not eventually the most prosperous, neither is riches for the most intelligent nor success to men of ability but time and chance happen to them all.

I am sure you have seen the above scenarios many times.

An aberration? You may ask...
Does the above indicate that strength, speed, wisdom, intelligence and ability are not important in life?

Not at all! All the above can be referred to as skills and talents but you need more than skills and talents to succeed in life.

I return all glory to God for what my wife and I were privileged to do for your family. It was a great privilege. I love your Yoruba analysis of marriage and when I reflected over it, I realized it is a correct assertion. Unfortunately, the African communal life is fading away.
The African way of life which saw a child as that of the community and not that of the parents alone had a lot of advantages. When a child errs, he is not only corrected by his parents alone, the community intervenes and ensure the act is not repeated again. All these are no more
No wonder every thing is getting out of hand with the black man wanting to be like the white man hence all our moral values are eroded. The same applies to marriage where family members ensure that nothing happens to your marriage. They quickly intervene to prevent a breakdown
