       RANDOM LESSONS (PART TWO)


Gratitude does really work! No use fretting over the past. The past is useless except for two things; one the lessons gained from it and two, the moments and gifts we can be thankful for.
   
Enjoy the moment. Enjoy the now. Take in the fresh air, enjoy the swaying of the breeze, the children at play, the music blooming from the loudspeaker.


However, take nuggets from the past to apply in the present. Just like a broken piece of raw egg, you can’t bring back moments of the past and words you have spoken. Life is happening right now!  New opportunities are springing up, new moments are being created but to maximize them you must free yourself from all worries, insecurities and fears. This is because Light and darkness cannot dwell together.



Next point, beliefs are really important. Ultimately, we become what we believe so you must consistently focus on positive possibilities. Anything is possible, really.


Again, hard work is good but hard work with direction and team work is best. Strong synergies and alliances are good too. It is not enough to be active, one must also be proactive. There is great wisdom is foresight and planning ahead. Hard work mixed with direction is equals to diligent work and this makes a great combination any day.

There is also a time to speak and a time to keep silent (while doing the real work.) Multitasking is good, but priorities are better. Don’t get bogged down in the bid to make a living that you forget to live your making.

TIPS ON CROSS-EXAMINATION

-

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. Whenever you find yourself in this category, I am here to tell you that it is only a temporary phase. You will rise again. Whenever you find your self down
