STRENGTHENING THE POOR 14

What triggers ingenuity?  What makes the mind receive creative ideas? He asked. The mind that is set on giving is the mind that tend to receive creative ideas but the mind that is set on receiving will be severed from receiving creative ideas. Though we have little or no control over the degree at which we are talented and  most times we discover our talents before our personality unfolds yet our creativity depends on the state of our minds. The selfish heart would lack creative ideas and would have little or no value to give to the society while the selfless heart would be bombarded with creative ideas. When everyone who put the society first, his creativity would be unleashed in no little degree. There is a maxim that says 'necessity is the mother of invention' but I say, 'love and selflessness is the mother of invention'. it's the sincere desperation to help one another that brings our ingenuity is man.

Every professional sport player who is doing well today always confess that he/she has a player he was looking up to and admiring while he/she was yet a professional player likewise every successful man once had a successful man he was looking up to. you'll definitely become the kind of person you admire daily whether you realize it or not. Those you admire are those you like listening and commenting about their lives. If you delight talking about failures in the society, you'll soon become a failure and if you delight in talking about successful men with admiration, you'll soon become successful. Mark Zuckerberg confessed that he was admiring bill gate, little wonder he is becoming as successful as Bill Gate. This is a major difference between a wealthy man and a poor man, while the wealthy man has another wealthy man he had aspired to be like, and to learn from what he does, the poor man doesn't have any. Most poor men always discuss other men who had failed in

Cristiano Ronaldo was once quoted saying that he told his father that he'll be very rich and today he is rich. Most wealthy men who started their lives from humble beginnings during their testimonies shared that they always knew they would become wealthy. Who told them that they'll become rich, you might want to ask? They told themselves repeatedly till they believed themselves. To walk out of poverty and lack, every morning tell yourself how rich you'll become, write your story in your mind and repeat that story to yourself whenever you feel the surge of hunger or feel the pain of lack. Its more precise when your write down the story of your life; how you walk out of poverty into plenty and read your story to yourself every night.

STRENGTHENING THE POOR 11 BE PATIENT WITH YOUR DREAMS The mustard seed is said to be the greatest tree in the bible and one day in Illorin, our pastor had promised to show us the seed, so on that day when he brought the seed to the church, it was tied on a small transparent waterproof. Seeing it for the first time made me go Wow! I was expecting a large seed like the avocado seed, or something of similar size but this is just a very tiny grain; tinier than the half of a grain of rice. These seeds are so small despite the potential in them to become the greatest of trees on earth. The size of your life doesn't matter, what matters is the size of your dreams, if you aren't decorated yet with certificates and privileges, it still not a factor, the greatest factor is how lofty is your dream. The future belongs to those who have dreams and those who believe that the future is theirs to own. If you planted a tree that takes years to mature, don't be intimidated with those w

A super machine of company broke down, and they brought engineers from various places to have it fixed yet it won't work, then an old roadside engineer came by and requested if he'll be granted permission to check the machine and fix it, the company acquiesced and ensured that the company's engineer were watching him. After he had inspected every part of the machine, he removed a particular nut, cleaned it and placed it back. He ordered that the machine be on, and bingo! It started working. When the company asked him to state the money he wished to be paid for his services, he wrote $10000. The Chief Engineer revoted having being informed that he only cleaned a certain nut to have the machine come back to life. He told him to itemize how the cost of fixing the engine would be that much. He wrote only two lines, first is, 'cleaning the Nut cost $5 and knowing what Nut to clean $9995. The difference between the poor and the rich is simply, the rich knows what Nuts to
