About Me |
African by birth. Patriot by choice. Christian by grace.
Humble professional who is also exhaustively experienced as, but not limited to:
Researcher
Likes reading, playing chess, computers, scrabble, writing, brotherhood, travelling, and friends.
Vision- a world where the youth and other children plus the entire humanity is at peace with one another, putting God first in all that they do in life.
Favourite quotes include:
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race”
Prosperity is only an instrument to be used, not a deity to be worshipped.
All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work.
Never go out to meet trouble. If you will just sit still, nine cases out of ten someone will intercept it before it reaches you.
I have found it advisable not to give too much heed to what people say when I am trying to accomplish something of consequence. Invariably they proclaim it can't be done. I deem that the very best time to make the effort.
-Calvin Coolidge 30th President of the United States, 1872-1933
The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books - a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources.
-Albert Einstein
In time we hate that which we often fear.
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.
-Shakespeare
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it.
-Voltaire
If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.
-Benjamin Franklin
