MIND GROWTH CENTRAL

  A young man  stood looking at a tree, it had become a routine for him. He will daily walk to the tree gaze at it for an hour or two and walk away. On this faithful day, while he starred at the tree as other times, a man walked up to him curiously wanting to find out why he always starred at the tree. The young man stated his love for the tree and that his innermost desire is to one day sit on the tree. Then the man asked, have you tried climbing the tree? No! came the boys response. "You can't sit on it if you don't climb it" was the man's response. " Go for it"  A long time you  have stood, watching your dream or ambition. A long time you have dreamt of being a business tycoon or Mogul, you have dreamt of owning a chain of stores, a boutique, a football club  or any dream at all. You've watched and allowed a perishable commodity of life 'Time' go by. DREAMER  I am an advocate for dreams, ambiguous once at that. Everyone should and must ha...

I know what this sounds like, like a Sunday service message where the preacher is quoting from the book of Isaiah 60:1 " Arise and shine for your light is come ." And the whole congregation will nod their heads in affirmation. Some one from behind will shout "Ride on pastor."   Alright, I sat and looked at certain stratas of power, influence, business etc and saw that young ones are living in the dark or shadows of who they are and should be. This generation boasts of the highest number of intelligent youths than any generation ever. We are smart, fast thinkers, efficient, creative and everything close to excellence. Yet, we find ourselves down the pecking order of life. The only place we find ourselves active and influential is behind our gadgets, on the internet space. Are there avenues to display out inherent potentials? The answer is yes with a capital Y LIFE IS EQUAL Life gives to all men the advantage of equality: equal 24 hours, equal air to breathe. Every ...

I woke up this morning to a notification on my phone, about thirteen applications were seeking update. I have always skipped the updates to be reminded later but the device constantly reminds me to update the system and the applications. We all have devices,  gadgets, machines (whatever works for you) and these are used constantly or periodically. They have their different functions and render the services they  have been programmed to offer. From time to time, these gadgets or machines ask for update or require upgrade for optimal functionality. Man is known to be the mother of machinery or technology(gadgets) and because of his constant usage, is daily required to update for excellent performance. If your social media applications require update periodically how much more you? THE WORLD IS EVOLVING  It is an error to be in this ever evolving generation and not update. Most of us are still thinking jet age when we are in the Gen Z era. This time AI's are ruling the world...

  Have you ever woken up in the morning and despite the cool air blowing, and the chirping of the birds around, you feel angry and discontented with the happens around you? I have countless things felt the same way too. One time, I got home and merely looking around, I felt disgusted and mad. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I'll you a failure -Thomas Edison  As the years roll by, I have begun to understand  the blessing of dissatisfaction . Dissatisfaction means the feeling of displeasure or disappointment. It is the feeling that something is not as good as it should be. Man as a being had this funny attitude of always acclimatizing to any situation he is in. When the situation looks insurmountable, he settles. Very few people have the ability to propel themselves back to their feet to try scaling out of that situation: a large number of humans relax and are swallowed. One synonym for dissatisfaction is discontent. It is widely believed that when you feel disconte...
