The only thing that speaks in the lives of these people and the only difference among them is TIME called TOMORROW. Your tomorrow is only in the hands of God. Get ready to fill the vacuum of the Legend you are looking at as you read this message. The grace of God will eventually take you there.

Don't stop when the road is closed. Continue even if it will take you to create another. We will all get there by special grace of God.

Every king was once a crying baby, every Principal was once a Pupil and every building was once a picture. The person you admire so much was once a nobody. The person you attended his or her wedding was once a chief bachelor or spinster. So why worry in life?

It's not about where you are today but where you will reach tomorrow. Alphabet *"O''* which stands for Opportunity, is absent in *'' yesterday''* but once in *'' tOday'*' And three times in *"tOmOrrOw''* So Stay Positive Always and have hope. Your tomorrow will surely be better than today. Believe in yourself and never give up.

*The future is Bright!*

KEEP LEARNING, KEEP GROWING

Dear secondary school mates, some of us didn't further our education after secondary school, some of us went further to the University, poly, college of education , some of us got married , some of us are not married yet
, some of us are still struggling with life
, some of us are already settled , some of us still finding it difficult to even eat two square meals in a day ,some of us travelled out of the country , some of us went back to the Village , some of us have seen real hell and still facing hell , some of us the last time we sat in a class room was the day we wrote our last exam in secondary school . Life is not cool for everyone, that you’re settled and doing well doesn't mean others are on the same page with you. Whenever you call or run into your class mates, let the conversation be simple,That we're still alive should be a thing to celebrate. Stop making people feel less cos you're married , working , engaged or done with school . Life is filled with ups And downs, be careful coz tomorrow is pregnant.
Stay Blessed💓

Nine year old Sam was visiting his grandparents' big farm where he loved to walk in the woods with his slingshot. He practiced shooting rocks at trees and bottles and cans, but he didn't hit much. You see, Sam was still working on his accuracy.

One evening after a day in the woods, he heard the dinner bell calling him home. As Sam walked toward the house he spotted his grandmother's pet duck walking by the pond. He never dreamed in a million years he could hit the duck, but Just for fun he pulled the slingshot back, and let it fly. Believe it or not, the rock hit the duck square in the head. The duck. Dropped dead without even one last quack !
Sam was shocked. He'd never hit anything he aimed at! He felt terrible.
In a panic, he ran to the dead duck and carried it behind the barn where he buried it in the woodpile. Sam was headed into the house, feeling terrible still, when he spotted his twelve year old sister, Julie, and realized she'd watched the whole sordid affair.

That night after dinner, their grandmother said, 'Julie, I'd like you to stay and help me do the dishes if you don't mind". "Grandmother" she replied, "I'd love to, but Sam said he wants to do the dishes tonight".
As she walked out past Sam, she whispered in his ear, "Remember the duck" trapped, Sam went over and did the dishes.
The next morning their grandfather invited both Sam and Julie to go fishing, but his wife had another plan.
"I really need Julie to stay here and help me do some chores," Grandmother said.
Julie countered, " Grandmother, Sam said he'd like to stay with you and help you out today."
Once again, his sister walked by Sam and muttered, Remember the duck. "Sam did the chores. Julie went fishing. After a couple days hard labor, doing both julie's chores and his own, Sam did the chores. He fessed up. Grandmother, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to, but I killed your duck". His kindly grandmother gave him a big hug.
Sammie, I know what happened, " she said. "I was standing at the Window watching the whole thing take place. I saw how shocked you were and I've forgiven you. I've just been waiting to see how long you would let Julie make a slave of you. "

Sam's grandmother was not standing alone at that Window. God was right beside her. He sees your every mistake, every failure, every weakness. The Good news is that He, too has forgiven you. He's not holding anything against you. He's just waiting to see how long you will allow the accuser to make a slave of you.

Hope you get the message! Stay blessed

THE JOURNEY IS SO SHORT*
A young lady sat in a public transport: an old grumpy lady came and sat by her as she bumped into her with her numerous bags. The other neighbor got upset, asking the young lady why she did not protest and insist on her rights: she responded with a smile: "It is not necessary to be rude or argue over something so insignificant!' I'll alight at the next stop, replied the young lady".
Here's a response which deserves to be written in golden letters in our daily behaviour and everywhere:
*It is not necessary to argue over something so insignificant, our journey together is so short*
If each one could realize that our passage down here has such a short duration, to darken it with quarrels, futile arguments, unforgiveness, ungratefulness and bad attitudes would be a waste of time and energy.
Did someone break your heart? Be calm, the journey is so short!!
Did someone betray, bully, cheat or humiliate you? Be calm, forgive, the journey is so short!!
Whatever penalty anyone serves us, let's remember that the journey together is so short...
Let us therefore be filled with gratitude and sweetness. Sweetness is a virtue never likened to bad character nor cowardice, but better likened to greatness.
Our journey together down here is really short and cannot be reversed...
No one knows the duration of his journey!!
No one knows if he has to alight at the next stop!!
*Let us therefore cherish and hold on to friends and family! Let us be calm, respectful, kind, thankful and forgiving.!! If I've hurt you, I ask your forgiveness. But remember: The journey down here is so short!!*
Happy New Year In Addy

An elephant and a dog became pregnant at same time. Three months down the lane the dog gave birth to six puppies.
Six months later the dog was pregnant again, and nine months on it gave birth to another dozen puppies. The pattern continued.
On the eighteenth month the dog approached the elephant questioning, - "Are you sure that you are pregnant? We became pregnant on the same date, I have given birth three times to a dozen puppies and they are now grown to become big dogs, yet you are still pregnant.
Whats going on?
The elephant replied - "There is something I want you to understand. What I am carrying is not a puppy but an elephant. I only give birth to one in two years.
When my baby hits the ground, the earth feels it. When my baby crosses the road, human beings stop and watch in admiration, what I carry draws attention.
So what I'm carrying is mighty and great.".
Don't lose faith when you see others receive answers to their prayers.
Don't be envious of others testimony. If you haven't received your own blessings, don't despair. Say to yourself "My time is coming, and when it hits the surface of the earth, people shall yield in admiration."
God Bless you all.

One young man went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. He passed the initial interview, and now would meet the director for the final interview. The director discovered from his CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent. He asked,
"Did you obtain any scholarships in school?"
the youth answered "no".
" Was it your father who paid for your school fees?"
"My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees.” he replied.
" Where did your mother work?"
"My mother worked as clothes cleaner.”
The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.
" Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?"
"Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Besides, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.
The director said, "I have a request. When you go home today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning. The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back home, he asked his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to her son. The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother winced when he touched it.
This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fees. The bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay for his education, his school activities and his future. After cleaning his mother hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.
That night, mother and son talked for a very long time. Next morning, the youth went to the director's office. The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, when he asked:
"Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"
The youth answered," I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes' “I know now what appreciation is. Without my mother, I would not be who I am today. By helping my mother, only now do I realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done on your own. And I have come to appreciate the importance and value of helping one’s family. The director said,
"This is what I am looking for in a manager. I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life.” “You are hired.”
