Minus productivity

You wake up and it’s late in the morning
It’s ten o’clock but you’re still yawning
Your mates are already off to work
But for you, even that sleep was work!

You brush your teeth quickly and sit on the sofa
Boy, even the TV knows you’re a loafer
From show to show you stick to the screen,
Chewing white gum till your face turns green

Then at noon, it’s time to take your brunch
And it’s everything your eyes see that you crunch
You eat so much till even your teeth grows fat
And you’re determined to lose weight by a simple chat

You hit the bed and the bed complains
Mocking your body because it’s never the same
You bite your nails and snore aloud
I guess all these “achievements” have made you proud

An idle man is a regular prisoner of boredom
Play and consume -that is how he intends to build an empire
And the folly he nurtures tells him his time is long
Truly, life is short but idleness makes it seems long.

Thoughts Provoked at "The Platform" (Oct. 1, 2009)
Related to country: Nigeria



Please note that words in inverted commas are direct quotations by the speakers.

During Taylor's Speech
Financial Success in the 21st century requires a well-structured plan accommodating solutions to potential challenges and setbacks

The worst conditions and circumstances in Nigeria today contain opportunities. These conditions themselves are the challenges we must face and overcome thereby fostering the prosperity of our economy.

During Brenda's Speech
Excellence may driven by a lot of things but it takes the right motivation to sustain it. If discipline is going to have a place in your personal value system, it must first be settled in your heart that distractions have no place in your schedule. You must therefore identify what distractions mean to you.

During Farah's Speech
"Doing what you were born to do is the key to finding your real worth in life. Hence, there are 3 questions to ask yourself. :
-what comes easy to me but hard to other people?
-what would you do for free?
-how can you give back?"

During Pastor Sam Adeyemi's Ministration
Menta l bondage is as effective as physical bondage hence, if you believe you are free, you are. And if you think you are restricted, you really are. As a man thinketh, so he is.
"If your life will change, it must change from within. Success happens on the inside before manifesting on the outside."
"You're not a failure yet until you blame someone else. Whoever you blame is the one who has control over your life."
Don't blame the government for anything that is obstacle to you. Never base your success in life on assistance from government. Instead, think of how you can even help solve some of government's problems. Do for the society what government has refused to do.
"Slavery and colonization breeds irresponsibility. Everything is provided by the slave master."


During Bishop David Oydepo's Ministration
"You are not poor because you live in a poor nation but because you have not been empowered to live above the level of poverty in that country."
"Investment in knowledge is the key to sustainable empowerment."
"If all you know has not made you successful then, go and know more. People don't fail eaxams because they know nothing, they fail because they don't know enough."
"Stop waiting to be empowered. Start working towards being empowered."
"There is no prayer that can empower you more than insight. Insight cannot be imparted, it has to be acquired."
"There is no mountain any where, each man's problem is his own mountain."

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic


Once I met a strange man on the street next to mine
I realized that knowledge could be a better resource than a goldmine
For though a mine could bring riches, knowledge attracts wealth

The strange man had the habit of making people wise
In fact, he himself-the strange man- was a habit
A living habit yet, a character of bookworms

He would acquire information and apply them to situations
He would then relay his experience and enlighten others
Indeed, his association with me is an advantage

If you happen to host him, count yourself lucky
For the knowledge of how a thing is created is better than its possession
Just as it is better to learn a trade than to receive a dime

My great friend is called reading
He plies every quiet and serene road to the mind
Have you ever met him?

Morakinyo Ayo.
