Do Not Blow Your Own Trumpet



“The biggest challenge after success is shutting up about it.” 

Criss Jami


Wait: do not blow your own trumpet. Humans are many a time tempted to blow their own trumpets. It comes as a way of wanting to show off either an achievement or anything else we have done. So, in other words, this will be a way of boasting to others. We boast so as to make others envy or admire us. It is not a good thing bragging to others because they will not be impressed by you. In the society, we have such people who are very fond of showing off. Boasting is a vice that will help destroy your public image.
Do Not Boast To Others

So whatever kind of achievement you have gotten lately, let others praise you. Do not risk destroying your trumpet, oops, I mean your public image. Even if others do not praise you because of what you have done, be contended. Someone somewhere has noted what you have done.

Proverbs 27:2

Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

I Am Happy That I Am Blessed



“I just find myself happy with the simple things. Appreciating the blessings God gave me.” - DMX.

Keep Smiling
We should always be happy and contended with what we have. No matter how little or much it is because for sure there is no such time we will have enough of everything. For me, I am happy that God has blessed me in many ways. I might be lacking some essential things here and there but I am grateful because of His blessings. I am sure my God will help me achieve my dreams.

Most often we are busy looking for earthly riches and we forget to thank our Creator
for the care and blessings, He has accorded us. I am not denying the fact that we might be going through many challenges. The best thing is despite the challenges we go through, we will always emerge victorious if we believe in God and ourselves. It is important to always remember that we have been blessed in many ways. That way, we will be able to appreciate what we have as we continue with this life on this side of the sun.

If A Nation Goes to the Dogs, it is Because of the Politicians

“The military don't start wars. Politicians start wars.”
– William Westmoreland
Soldiers in Action

I wish you can read that quote by William Westmoreland again and again. Try to see what he is saying that it is the politicians who start wars, but not the military. And when these wars are started, they are not fought by the politicians, they are fought by the military and the citizens end up suffering the heaviest casualties. Those who have been through wars know the pain and horrors of it. The ordinary man will not gain from war; it is only those who start wars who benefit. Some of them do not care what happens to innocent people and are ready to shed blood in order to gain. What they do not know is that they will have to pay for their actions one day.

What happens in any nation directly depends on the kind of leaders that particular nation has. If there are bad politicians like in most of Africa, then that nation is always dogged by all sorts of calamities. If a nation goes to the dogs, it is because of the politicians who have failed in their duty. Look around where you are and you will definitely see some countries that are heading the bad way. This is because most of their leaders have failed in their duties and most have been overcome by greed.

Why is it that we are no longer fearing God and keeping his commandments? As we derail from the just way, let us remember we will one day be judged by what we have done.

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14King James Version (KJV)
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.


14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.


If you are a leader in any capacity, you have a great responsibility placed on your shoulders. You have to make sure your people are moving forward and making progress, but not heading to retrogression. Wake up to your call of duty and work towards the betterment of the rest of the humanity. If you can not be able to help them, call it quits and let other able leaders take over.
