Just a little more encroachment into maturity,
By virtue of time and experience,
The buildup of your demeanor will be determined
Only by the efficacy and tenacity of the power you have.
Time and chance doesn't always reveal the truth,
For the truth sometimes only understands the language of power.
Power reveals the truth about a matter in most cases,
If only you can acquire one thing in life,
If only you can sell all your possessions in exchange for one thing,
If you must wake up and sleep every night,
If the cup of sorrow must not be offered to you as drink,
If you must not always drink vinegar instead of water or wine,
If you must rise above the grip of mediocrity,
If you must not be an option where you ought to matter most,
You must possess power at all levels;
Physical Power,
Spiritual Power,
Intellectual Power,
Political Power,
Marital Power,
Financial Power,
Man Power,
Psychological and Physiological Power,
The power called 'Business acumen'
After possessing, put it to use tactically,
For then, NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE UNTO YOU.

Oh Mighty man,
Perilous weather is fast approaching;
And so are the clouds of safety gathering.
The weather may be true or wicked,
Let him who will stay in your life stay put,
Let him who will leave your life leave now.

Oh Mghty Man,
For the weather calleth forth with so much angst about your fate,
Untold is its wrath or delight for the sins or morality of mortals
Whether you be creditable or unseemly it will come,
Let him who will stay in your life stay put,
Let him who will leave your life leave now.

Oh Mighty man,
You know your fate before the weathering storm or calm,
If woes or blessing it in store has for you
This counsel, give to those around you,
Let him who will stay in your life stay put,
Let him who will leave your life leave now.

Oh Mighty man,
On that day, whether it be glory or shame,
Everyone in your life will have a taste of the effect of your cause.
Be kind enough to shout it to everyone in your life,
Let him who will stay in your life stay put,
Let him who will leave your life leave now.

The high fliers have one things in common.
That thing is called 'diligence'
They know how to press their but down and work out their way to success.

The path to success is usually blurry and jumbled. It takes diligence to fix up every piece of the path.
Mediocre simply envy the result but detest the process.

The sleepless nights,
The rejections and ridicule
The discipline et. al.

We were all born with the innate ability to be diligent, let us go down again to the drawing board and restructure our lives because a diligent person will always outshine a wealthy person if placed in a contest.

Inspiration... The meal that Excellence requires

You must have heard the word 'Inspiration' a couple of times.

It is the life blood of creativity for without it, creativity is dead or dies not exist.
This is why people go to different length to get inspiration.

From movies, nature, swimming, strolling, praying, playing, bathing, hanging out with friends etc. People get inspired from and by even the most insane things on earth.

Even writing this article you're reading now, I had to be inspired by something and the quality of any write up is determined by the depth of the inspiration the writer got.

Have you seen a bad movie and work before?
Blame it on inspiration level.

The worst thing that can inspire you in this life is MONEY because it is a current.
Any current may fizzle out at anytime that is why you must ensure that you must not in your career allow money to become a determining factor especially when it comes to inspiration.

As you get on that project today, look for inspiration.
Go any length to get an inspiration for what you do so that you would not be frustrated and what you are doing would not be shabby.

For inspiration is the soul of excellence.

When you flex your muscle to do the needful,
Your brain awakes to the dance of your hands.

When your thoughts begin to align with your pen,
Creativity escapes your bosom

In the hours of solitude
Turn your loneliness to the moment where ideas are birth.

This is what we represent
As writers whose brain perpetually kisses their pen.

All Parents need to read this

Every time we do lunch in class, his food is the biggest portion. His parents not minding that he eats little, wants him to be chubby. I make him come to my table with his food, so I can coerce him to eat, to his parents satisfaction. He just put the food in his mouth trying to chew and grind with his canines instead of with his molars and premolars.

Another girl chews her food forever. She puts a spoonful in her mouth and chew, chew, chew. Then she gags trying to swallow, but never really throws up. It takes two period of lunch time to get them to eat.

Problem is, I'm being pressured to pressure them to eat. And yes, they are very healthy 4 year olds, full of energy for their age.

I did a little research online.

The bad news is.., there is no miracle cure for slow eaters, picky or bored kids on the dining table.
The good news is.., many more parents all over the world are facing the same or worse case scenarios of kids who don't really like food.

The best news is.., all this issues exception of a contrary diagnose from a Doctor, is normal. Dr Gellner says " Between one and five years old, it is normal for a child's appetite to slow down."

Babies gain an average of 15 pounds during their first year. Between ages 1 and 5, children normally gain only 4-5 pounds a year. They can normally go three or four months without any weight gain. Because they are not growing as fast, they need fewer calories and they seem to have a poorer appetite known as physiological anorexia.

Another thing to note is " how much a child chose to eat is controlled by the appetite centre in the brain."
So most of these kids have already conditioned their minds on eating a little portion. Tee, for example, told me, "teacher, I will always finish my food when I'm ten."

He has already conditioned his mind to deal with food gradually till he his ten. His parents won't listen.

As for my girl, her oral sensory system is not properly developed, that explains why she gags, squirm and get frightful during meal times. Her soft palate or posterior pharynx react every time it is being stimulated by food. She needs time to develop her oral sensory system.

I have seen kids like this in the teaching profession, eating a bite here and there, but still healthy and strong, wild and free. They moved to the next class, and the next and the next. Oftentimes they just lose the character of not eating along the way, without much ado.

But if you push them all the time, they will develop a real hatred for food. New research shows that allowing kids to eat only when they are hungry is the way to go.

So I strongly recommend, if a child is not sick or has a severe eating disorder diagnosed by a doctor, let the child be. Let them eat as much as they need for growth and energy.

Just make sure to serve healthy meals and snacks. If they are hungry, they'll eat. Once a child is old enough to feed himself, never pick up the spoon.

Go ahead, eat and be chubby yourself.

I am committed to preserving and helping you raise the next generation. Your child first!

P.s
Please drop your comments on how you got them to eat, and what you think, so others can learn. Thanks.
