ON THE WHEEL Oftentimes, when I'm on the wheel driving, I found myself making best and accurate decisions that ensure I got to my destinations at best of time with little or no stress. Sometimes, it could mean staying on a particular lane or taking a route by instinct. At such times, I feel like the best driver in the world, and why shouldn't I be, since that is our core message at *Driveria*.  Unfortunately, today was not one of such days. I was supposed to drive straight through a road, but on sighting the traffic ahead, I swerved to an alternative road which was supposed to be free of traffic, but alas, I was dead wrong. I ended up spending one hour plus for a journey of at most ten minutes,no matter the traffic involved in the straight road. As I sat back this night, I wonder how many of us try to cheat life by choosing supposedly the easy path, but ended up having our fingers burnt. As I drove through those traffic, I became tired and got angry such that I practically beca...

Our World, Our Pride Today, let me think and act like the environmentalist. No! Everyday, you and I must think and act like the environmentalists. Our Planet is in imperil. We have put the Mother Earth in danger for this generation born and unborn. We are daily harming the world we called our own. You say how? For every wrap of sweet I carelessly throw away on the road from the window of my moving vehicle, and the wrap of biscuits you tossed away from those commercial buses. We harmed the Earth. Whenever I knowingly fell a tree for farming cultivation, and you cut down the trees to build the foundation of your house without planting other ones, we harmed the world for humanity. The world is in danger from every bursted exhaust pipe of my vehicle left unrepaired, and the toxic smoke from your generator at home. We knowingly put the world in tumoil by such acts, and we die daily from such self-inflicted woes. Collectively we are harming the world, yes, you and I by building houses...

MANAGING SELF-DOUBT The greatest threat to what we can become, what we are capable of doing, or better still, what we can make out of our existence is not people's doubt about us, but our doubt about ourselves. Whether you have had a perfect straight wins throughout life, or your paths have been roughed, there comes a time, problem will present itself as insummountable and challenges unconquerable. At such moment, two things come to mind: to  walk away (perhaps, to live and fight another day) or to stay and face the problem head-on. I tell you, the easiest way is to walk away, to throw in the towel in pursuit of more easy tasks or way of life. Very few, and I repeat, very few people stay at such moments. Friends, I don't know what you are passing through today as a professional or entrepreneur, never give up because the old cliche: quitter never win and winners never quit is as relevant today as it was before the birth of Christ, the Messiah. Greatness are for champions. S...
