LET'S GO M.A.D
By Charity Israel

Why people resist change is because of their limited knowledge and lack of ability to see the future. They do not have a picture of the future so they just blend in with the traditions, following things the way it has been.

Change is the only constant thing on earth and we must embrace it in order to live a purposeful life. When we define change as to make or become different, the change I'm talking about is going against the norm, taking a different turn of what used to be. Leaving the tradition and stepping out to create a difference.

You must have heard this a billion times but is pertinent that we keep re- emphasizing this that for you to live a purposeful life,you must stand out and set a standard.


No one successful who has ever achieved purpose lived the ordinary. They all took a bold step to change, to create something new. Now let's talk about how to go M.A.D. We make a difference by changing our life style, our perception, our attitude to create something positive for others to follow.


You don't just change and become meaningless. You change to become productive, useful and relevant to yourself and the society. Yes! Some people make a difference in some ways that are not recognized or acceptable but YOU are called to make a difference positively. To affect your environment, your society and be an influence to generations. Those who make a difference negatively do not stand the test of time but those who make positive difference are celebrated even after their generation.
Think of all the successful people in the world that made a difference in their time:


Nelson Mandela who chose to propagate freedom in South Africa
Steve Jobs maker of Apple laptop withstood all discouragement.
Bill Gates who was seen to be a dullard created the microsoft
Usain Bolt set a world record as the fastest runner. 


Shedrack, Meshack, Abednego refused to bow down to a smaller god.
All these people made a difference and were known for their remarkable outstanding impact. That is to say that the world only celebrate people who go M.A.D.


Why people resist change is because of their limited knowledge and lack of ability to see the future. They do not have a picture of the future so they just blend in with the traditions, following things the way it has been.

Let's note that going M.A.D does not mean being in competition, it is about you doing things differently and setting a pace. Let's go M.A.D. The world is waiting....

ONE MAJOR WAY OF BEING RESPONSIVE TO YOUR ABILITY

By PRAISE AKOBO It's possible you may or may not have thought of 'responsibility' as a 'response to ability'. So, let's roll. .. .. .. Have you checked, how that, when you were given a task, be it in school, church, office, firm or even that which you gave yourself? Did you see that, somehow, you felt lackadaisical at first but decided to take the bull by its horn? Now, the ability to do that was resident within, but came alive when you chose to act, this is why you hear words like UNTIL YOU GET STARTED, YOU CAN NOT START. .. .. .. I discovered that I understood something's about myself when I was given a responsibility in an N.G.O and accepted it. Just like you, I hesitated but until today, that has been a major factor in my growth. My NETWORK grew as well my NET WORTH. Lets say for instance, you are asked to be part of an Editorial Committee, you finally accepted, then along the line, you discovered ...
FILL YOUR OWN MOULD By Emeka Nobis I had boasted to Ikenna and my classmates that I could play the number five position in football. That was borne out of envy because Ikenna's football skills were hailed. I decided to tame his mouth. That was in 1992, my second year of secondary school at Marist Comprehensive Academy, Okigwe. I became the last substitution in the fifth minute of the second half of a match our school played with a neighbouring school. That meant I couldn't be replaced anymore. It was absolute tomfoolery. I ran around the pitch in a pattern similar to pollen grains in water. I couldn't even trap the ball, mostly letting it pass through the hollow of my legs to the opponents. I was playing what was called "Shorting one" in our local parlance. Football wasn't just my forte. For me, it was eating the desert before the entrĂ©e in a four-course meal.  But it was different when I handled a pen and a sheet of paper. I could write e...
