When a man gets married, his bachelor friends respect his marriage. They do not try to lure him back to the streets. They will even remind him: "You are a married man now. You cannot be moving like us. Go back to your wife."
They protect his home. But when a woman gets married, her single friends often try to spoil her marriage. They compare her husband to other men, downplay his efforts, and give bad advice. They plant seeds of doubt and discontent.
A wise woman knows this, which is why she cuts off her single friends when she gets married.
Trading on Ghana’s newly established Stock Exchange came with its own set of challenges. So I gave it what the farm and the classroom had taught me: preparation, patience, and full attention to detail.
At the end of the program, I was adjudged the best trainee. That was when this photo was taken with my colleague from the National Trust Holding Company.
I mention this, not for applause, but for what it confirmed to me, that excellence is not a talent. It is a habit, applied daily, until it becomes indistinguishable from character.
