INFORMATION FOR TRANSFORMATION

Hey guys, today I'm penning down a topic that is quite near and dear to my heart. I once read this quote from Dr. David Oyedepo that "To be uninformed is to be deformed; but to be informed is to be transformed." That got me really thinking on why you should place a premium on information. Let's get started.

Information is derived from two words. I'm sure you know what "in" means. In talks about the inside and you know that it is in the inside that your power lies. Robin Sharma, the author of "The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari" emphasized this by saying that the same power that operates in the sun, moon and all elements of the universe also operates in you.  Isn't that amazing. Yes. You are that powerful. By the way, I will recommend that book, it makes for a very good read anyday. Inside of you is intangible which means you cannot see it. Now, those things you cannot see are even more powerful than the physical things you can see.  It is in the intangible things that the magic happens.

The other word in "information" is "formation". Formation has to do with building, constructing, forming and so on. So very good football teams have their strength in the formation they use.  Imagine playing Christiano Ronaldo as a centre back? Lol. So put together, information has to do with constructing and re-creating your inside. Now this is extremely important because it is your "in-formation" that determines your "out-formation". I will explain this.

Whatever you have on the outside is proportional to what you carry in your inside. So don't go chasing after the latest house, or that branded car when you have not discovered the latest and re-branded you. It will amount to a waste of time. Your state in the earth is dependent on what the earth is in your inner state. What relevant thing do you need to know inside to be what you desire to be. Remember this truth, "To get something you have never gotten or to do something you have never done, you must become something you have never being before." You are first a human "being" not a human "doing"

Don't try to change the outer man when the error in the inner man has not being changed
Now that is what information does to you. It helps to discover the real you.  When you were formed, God deposited everything that pertains to your fulfilment within you but you need information to search it out. That is why the process is called enlightenment.

The twenty-first century has changed. A mouse no longer only means that small rodent of the marsupial species that loves cheese, windows are no longer just the kind of opening covered by glass that you buy drapes for and the web is not only something spiders trapped flies in. If you are going to understand one bit or byte of the happenings around, in your career, marriage, business and finance, then you've got to stay updated with the relevant information. Why grope in the dark without switching on the light? Why don't you be an active participant in the ultimate search for relevant information?

TIPS ON CROSS-EXAMINATION

-
Image
Cross examination is a delicate act and art that requires mastery of the intricacies therein and understanding of the subtle nuances of human nature. The following tips are relevant.  The first rule of cross examination is not to examine crossly. Abuse is not an argument, no matter who gives it. It is dog's eloquence to  abuse and stoop low to injure another's personality. Get the defendant to commit to absolute statements; then confront him with the damaging letter or evidence. Proceed with as much easiness as if the value of a loss in cross examination were less than a kobo. Establish other possibilities that are open even when the evidence is or appears to be  substantially true. Cross examination can be directed to show that witness was occupied with circumstances surrounding the fact rather than the fact itself. This can be skewed to show that the witness was completely inattentive when the incident happened.

GOAL SETTING AND GO GETTING; THE EAGLE EXAMPLE (PART FOUR)

 THE EAGLE'S NEST The eagles nest is a sight to behold; It weighs more than two tonnes and in fact, it can support two grown men. You do not find this kind of nest anywhere else. It is usually found in the most remote and unattainable spot the bird can find and then it will be perched very high in the mountains or on some sheer cliff or a very high tree. Due to the massive size of this nest and the fact that each and every stick and materials like timber from construction sites, discarded clothing, paper, fresh stick, grass and leaves  to prevent the nest from getting dirty  has to be carried to this remote building by the eagle, you will easily agree that the nest building will be a huge task for the eagle. The eagle, however, is not intimidated or overwhelmed by the sheer intensity of this task. It understands the power of goals and taking little steps  which add up in the long run  towards the achievement of these goals. As Robert Schuller said, “By the yard, it is hard but in

WHERE YOU ARE IS NOT WHO YOU ARE By ISHOLA EMMANUEL There is a very interesting experiment which I would like to share with you. The experiment is this: Try taking a container and put in it, carefully selected big stones. Make sure that the stones are big and put them at the bottom of the container. Now place on top of the container stones of smaller sizes. By now you would have a container with small stones on top and big stones underneath. The next thing is that you shake the container. What would you find? You would find that the smaller stones wuld find their way to the bottom while bigger stones will find their way to the top. The big stones signifies people who have built capacity in areas such as physically, mentally, spiritually, socially etc. but due to the vicissitudes of life find themselves down.
