Holiness doesn't mean sharing tea with people committed to breaking your spirit.
Some of you are still smiling at people who've been quietly rehearsing your downfall in the group chat you're not in.
Every parent wants a good career for their child. But good intentions can still lead a child down the wrong path.
I regularly meet parents who want their children to pursue careers such as medicine, law, engineering or accounting, even when the child has neither the natural aptitude nor the interest required.
Sometimes the parent and child want completely different careers. The parent wins the argument, but the child may pay the price through poor results, repeated courses, lost confidence, wasted money and years of frustration.
A career decision should not be based only on what the parent wants or what the child likes. It should be guided by evidence about the child’s natural aptitude, interests, personality and available opportunities.
In the career guidance sessions I conduct for parents at schools, I strongly recommend professional career guidance assessments before children select subjects or commit to a career path.
In our work, we have seen these assessments help families identify where a child has the strongest potential and which subjects and careers are likely to suit them.
Before asking, “Which career do I want for my child?” ask, “What kind of work is my child naturally equipped and motivated to do well?”
A good career is not simply one that sounds prestigious. It is one in which the child has a real chance to succeed, grow and find fulfilment.

Speak 5 lines to yourself every morning:
1. I am the BEST.
2. I CAN do it.
3. GOD is ALWAYS with me.
4. I am a WINNER.
5. Today is MY DAY.
Do this for 30 days straight.
HOW TO RAISE A SON WHO ACTUALLY RESPECTS YOU. (Not fears you. Not manages you. Here is the exact weekly breakdown.)
1. Your weekly time with him — 5 hours total
• I was driving and now I'm walking, don't ask!
• The finger no longer has a ring, don't ask!
• She was pregnant but now you don't see a baby, don't ask!
• She was partying nowadays she stays indoors, don't ask!
• He was living in town, now he's back home, Don't ask!
Maybe we are just visitors in this life because, even if you work hard and fight for everything, you eventually leave with nothing, just as you came. No one can truly understand the mystery of life.
Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.

A child can be bright, hardworking, and eager to learn but still struggle with reading, writing, mathematics, concentration, or following instructions. Too often, such children are labeled lazy, careless, or “not trying hard enough” when they may have a learning disability that requires proper assessment and support.
This article explains the warning signs parents and teachers should watch for, why early identification matters, and how to get the right help. Early action can protect a child’s confidence and prevent years of unnecessary academic frustration.

Marriage will humble you. One minute you're thanking God for her. The next minute you're asking God to give you patience, wisdom and self-control. Crazy
One of the biggest mistakes I see organisations make is assuming that employees leave because another employer is simply paying more. That is rarely the full story. In many cases, the organisation has no idea where it sits in the market. Salaries have moved over time through counter-offers, inconsistent increases, promotions, and individual negotiations until nobody can confidently answer one simple question: Are we paying competitively, overpaying, or underpaying?
I have seen organisations lose key talent because they reacted too late. I have also seen organisations waste millions by increasing salaries across the board when the real problem affected only a handful of critical roles. Both mistakes come from making pay decisions without credible market evidence. Salary decisions should never be driven by rumours, employee pressure, or what a neighbouring company is believed to be paying. They must also recognise a simple business reality. Revenue goes up and down, but salaries rarely go down once they have been increased. Every remuneration decision should therefore be one the organisation can comfortably afford today and continue to sustain tomorrow.
A professionally conducted salary survey does more than provide market figures. It tells you where you stand, which roles are genuinely at risk, where your pay is out of line, and what you can realistically afford to do. That is how organisations retain critical talent, control payroll costs, and make remuneration decisions that are competitive, financially sustainable, and defensible before executives and boards.
After more than two decades of conducting salary surveys, one lesson stands out: the organisations that make the best pay decisions are ones that understand the market before they act.
