Your Name As Your Brand.

Do you wonder why your name is different to your siblings or your friends? Only one reason - identity!

In an average home , our parents knows what each and every one of us is capable of, if anything is missing in the fridge they know which child is fond of eating in-between meals, they know that young one that comes home late and they know who to call on when the TV is left on for too long . They will never attack A when B's action needs to be addressed.

That's an identity that comes with each and every one of us. How worthy and valuable is your identity in the community where you live? Food for thought yea?

Every step and action you take count towards your brand. Do you like fighting in public? How nice! Do you love gossiping amongst your friends? Thumbs up! You are good at stealing what belongs to other people? oh ok! You have the skills of snatching other people's love in the name of fun? No problem!

Just to call your attention to the fact that incident or issue might get settled and "cleared" on the spot but they remain in your record and activity log along with a time stamp forever! Yes forever! To the point that people might actually forget your first name but address you as "Aunty husband snatcher " or "Brother thief".

Tarnishing your brand is self-inflicted and blaming some Step-mother or Uncle for your misfortune which is common in my continent of origin. This is not acceptable and lame on arrival.

Your name John, Michael, Andrew, Seun, Sheriff, Abiola, Obinna, Osita, Efe, Bryan, Lizy, Rahman, Ikenna, Saheed, Mercy, Jean, Dipo, Matthew, Cynthia, Adeyemi, Ahmed or Nnamdi is not any different to Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Toyota, Zara or Coco-Pops.

Whatever you do to your name stick to your forehead and you both become inseparable. Before you take any action which might affect your brand and in extension your grand kids, think twice.

If John Lewis, MTN or Coca-cola can't afford a stain on their image so why should you? Your name is your brand protect it and value it. Your grand children will thank you for that.

If you can't afford to will properties to your kids and grand kids. You are already rich by handing over a worthy last name.

My name is my brand so is yours.

The Art Of Love.

The Art Of Love. Love is a beautiful thing, provided the other party shares your feelings and they are the right person for you. It is a selfless act. The very moment you start caring more about someone else’s best interest over yours and prioritizing them, then my dear friend you are in love.

Anger Breeds Nothing But War And Hatred.

ANGER = DANGER They say even the nicest people have their limit. It's alright to get angry now and then but when your anger slips into the next day to the point of wishing your fellow human misfortune then that's dangerous. There is only one letter missing from both the word "anger" and "danger ". It takes only one action or word to cross from one to the other. That action or word could either ruin your day or someone else's day if not life! Nothing good or positive can ever come out of anger - you could lose a friend, family or a loyal lover as a result of your temper. Identify it's an issue and work on it. An African adage says " The moment a mad person realizes he is mad then he is no longer mad". Most of us would be better as a person and in extension, a better use for the society but this act of anger is destroying us bit by bit without realizing that fact until we are at that point of no return. ...
