THE SMILE BEHIND THE PAIN

-

 



Oftentimes, we talk about

The pain behind the smile.

And yes,

The pain behind the smile exists

 

However, permit me to bring to your notice

The smile behind the pain.

Yes, 

Let’s flip the coin.


What makes a person peaceful

In turbulent situations if not

The smile behind the pain?

What makes genius persevere

Despite uncertain moments?

What makes you turn a stumbling stone

Into a stepping stone if not

An assured knowing?-

The promise of a desired future

 

This is not a religious charge.

It is simple.

The smile behind the pain is called VISION

And it dwells in all-

GET and NURTURE IT.


You are loved.

How I Embraced a New MiFi Brand: The Secret to Rapid Business Growth

-

The Problem Frustrated and depressed, I walked into a printer’s shop for another service. Prior to that, I had experienced two gut-wrenching problems: my phone crash and purchasing an incredibly slow broadband connection. My phone crashed in the middle of a transaction, forcing me to opt for a mobile MiFi. I had come from Nigeria to Rwanda, and back home in Nigeria, I used a certain network provider. Based on my Nigerian experience with that brand, I assumed they would deliver here as well. So, without conducting any research, I decided to buy from them. With hope and trust, I headed to their office. The staff greeted me with amiable customer service, I made my purchase and went back home eager to put the MiFi to use. But there it was, lagging and slowing me down. I literally screamed and cried out in my sitting room. I googled for a reliable network provider that could stop my pain. Yes, that was what it was--pain. I was mentally and emotionally exhausted. I googled tirelessly but the...

  Storytelling has been a centuries-old form of preserving and transferring values, principles and ethics to guide generations throughout their affairs in life. This act of storytelling can be sourced from different fields: myths, religion, fiction, etc. Speaking of religion, the Christian religion is one of the religions in which enriching stories are told in its holy book called THE BIBLE. There are series of stories about the lives of people (usually addressed as the bible heroes) from the lives of Adam & Eve to Abraham to Deborah to Esther and the rest. The stories of each of these bible heroes serve as an embodiment of principles waiting to be cracked open by the discerning/critical minds on earth. In this piece, life lessons and principles were mined from the story of Joseph by a growth partner called McHeney Patricks. He identified what he tagged the 6 P's of Joseph's Life Cycle and how it relates to modern life. They are: His Parents' House The Pit Potiphar'...

‘ALL’ IS AN ILLUSION

The saying “You can have it all” seems prevalent, especially as a motivational mantra to African women towards success. But what exactly does “all” mean? A present, fantastic, and phenomenal wife and mother who is also a leading CEO of one of the largest world companies? A student with straight A’s, rich parents, global recognition, partying and living the life? A highly skilled man with different estates to his name yet a present father and husband and maybe with an understanding mistress on the side? Where did the idea of “all” come from? Who made the criteria for “all”?  While it is possible to touch on different aspects of life, the question is: how probable is it to give a hundred percent to all?  It seems to elude humans of all creatures that every path has its price and pleasure; that no matter how glorious the concept of “you can have it all” is sold in the world of ambition and possibilities”, there are existing frameworks which reveal the truth about life, out of whi...
