This week on our Weekly Motivation Corner, we will be dwelling on the topic ''Don’t Invest Unwisely.''  There are lots of schemes rising up all over the world, and the sad reality is that a great number of people especially the poor are being drawn to these schemes. One of the greatest financial advice I’ve gotten is ‘If it seems too good to be true, then it definitely is’. The best way to get scammed is to invest in opportunities that seem easy and promises a great deal of profit.  No one is responsible for your finances; do not allow anyone take control of your money, do not hand over your money to someone with the hope of getting larger returns. To succeed, you must invest in yourself first, invest in self-development, develop skills that would increase your earning power, and most of all, look for ways that provide value for people. Most of these schemes that are being paraded today as providing worldwide financial empowerment do not provide any value ...

What you are about to read will shock you! He sat in court, holding his head in his hands and weeping quietly. Those around him looked at him in pity and those who did not know the reason for this, wondered why a grown man was weeping openly. For Mr. James Jackson, his life had just crumbled before him like a pack of cards. He who had two sons that were born on the same day, had suddenly become childless. Two years ago, the first of the twin was brutally murdered, while he was being inducted alongside others as a medical doctor. Today, the court sentenced his only surviving son and child to die by the hangman’s noose. Why? He had pulled the trigger that sent his twin brother and only sibling to his untimely grave. He murdered his own blood in cold blood. He had simply walked into the venue of the event, shot into the air to attract attention and walked over to where his brother was sitting. Whilst the poor twin brother looked at him in shock and confusion, he shot him poi...

Welcome to another episode of Rise to Wisdom. On this week's episode of Rise to Wisdom we will take a look at the topic: ' ' Nothing Can Stop Your Dream'. Nothing can truly stop a man on a mission. Nothing could stop Joseph’s dream from coming to pass. Throwing him into a pit didn’t. Selling him into slavery couldn’t. False accusation and imprisonment couldn’t either.  Sometimes in life, God doesn’t stop weapons from being formed against us. He may not stop enemies from gathering against us. Sometimes, He may not stop persecutions against us. That doesn’t mean He’s not aware and doing something about it.  In South Africa, coal and diamond come from the same source and are similarly useless in their natural states. Test them with fire and you will begin to observe the remarkable differences between them. While the coal becomes useless after supplying heat, the beauty of the diamond increasing with the heat. Most times, it is actually the heat ...

Welcome to another episode of Rise to Wisdom. On this week's episode of Rise to Wisdom we will take a look at the topic: ' A Thankful Heart '. Many of us are not content with many things in our lives. We see things that we do not have and then complain. We see something new at our neighbor’s house, and we feel envy from within. As the saying goes, “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.” We seem to always want or need something that we do not have. There is always that feeling of discontent and frustration from not being able to do something or get something we do not have.  But happiness cannot be found in the material things that we achieve in life. It is not from the achievements that we gain from our careers. Happiness can come every day if you learn to see the world with a thankful heart. NEVER ENVY One very important thing you need to get rid of is envy. Learn to be happy for other people’s success. We are all given our ow...
