What influences your child's personality?

How a child uses his inborn traits — whether those will be strengthened or subdued — will be influenced throughout his childhood by three or four factors: 1. Relationships. Your relationship with your child will have a greater impact on him than that of any other person, so do all you can to nurture him. Also seek to help him develop mutually uplifting relations with siblings, grandparents, friends and others. 2. The way he is educated. Be involved in your child's education to ensure that your child's classroom is suited to his makeup. I'm not suggesting that you ask his teacher to cater to your child but to be sure she recognizes his personality traits, builds up his strengths, and encourages him to overcome weaknesses. In some cases, you may even decide that homeschooling is the best option for you and your child. 3. The environment in which he lives. Make sure your household provides your child a rich environment — and I'm not talking about material trappings. Tw...

MEETING OTHERS NEEDS

But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. Mathew 23:11 A servant is someone who serves others and it demands a lot of discipline for one to be at the service of others. It is pretty easier and more conventional to have people serve you than it is to serve others. Easier to notice what is not done well than it is to actually do it well, and service is about being involved in doing it well. I have noticed a desire among people, this desire is often very strong and cuts across sex, ethnicity, race, class, name it. This desire is a desire to be outstanding in a chosen field of endeavor. But only a few of this great multitude that desire this actually stand out; the reason is very obvious, the lack of readiness to pay the supreme price of service, serving the interest of others. The criteria for greatness in life still remain readiness to serve; the servant will forever be the greatest anywhere, anytime. Someone tried to compare ancient architectural works of Egypt with...

THINKING

Image
Thinking is an act or practice of engaging ones’ mind to produce thought; it is being productive in your reasoning thereby forming opinions or judgments that can effect a positive change. Thinking is often mistaken with worrying or anxiety but there is a whole lot of variation between the two. When faced with challenges, anxiety focuses on the challenge but thinking is looking out for solution to the challenge. Anxiety sees impossibility but thinking sees possibility. It is a natural expectation of man to think, because man is created a thinking being and has well developed brain. Man has unlimited capacity to reason productively; engaging the brain means engaging your life and making the most of life. Thinking demands the engagement of both your mind and your brain (head). When the head alone is engaged, it is lofty thinking and lacks capacity to add up to life. Mind and head must be engaged simultaneously for one to be said to be truly involved in an act of thinking. Man is...

FOUR PILLARS OF SUCCESS

Image
Success told as history is nothing but a failure. There are a lot of success stories of yesterday that has no representation of success today; for success not to be told as story there remains need for such success to have a support. It is important to mention that success is not a dash or sprint but a marathon race; success is an accumulation not an event. So success must be sustained otherwise it becomes a failure and to sustain success, the following pillars are of essence. PILLAR #1: DISCIPLINE – self-control is a basic requirement for sustainable success. Until you are able to conquer yourself, you cannot truly be successful. Success without self-restrain is failure waiting to happen. You must consciously and willingly put a check on yourself otherwise you will be checked out of your success. PILLAR #2: ACCOUNTABILITY is accepting personal responsibility for your actions and inaction. Success demands that you take ownership of your action and be ready to face the consequenc...

LIFE IS A REFLECTION

Image
The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself . Proverb 11:25 Reflection is the quality of a sound, image, or wave to turn back when it enters a boundary. Once a medium is encountered, the sound, image, or wave returns to its’ source instead of entering the medium; so it is with life always returning to the source. This account for the saying that what goes around comes around. People that care to leave a legacy know this too well and show this by the way they live. Every action is a seed and will always return in multiplies. Whatever you imagine to get out of life, start making that happen to others and some such reflects back to you. Also whatever you abhor, make every effort never to make anyone go through such experience. What you make happen to others God makes happen to you. life truly is an echo; a repeat of events.
