WHAT IS YOUR SELLING POINT?

I was prompted to write something on this theme becuase i feel the urgent need to tell people that we all have a built in skill in us. A skill that differentiate us from each other. My theme might sound funny or akward but trust me i know exactly what i want to talk about. First and foremost, permit me to hint you a bit on what i mean by ‘Your Selling Point’. Your selling point is whatever makes you unique than others, whatever makes you a hot cake, whatever get people attracted to you or whatever you posses that can lead you to achiving your dreams ahead. Just like David said that ‘ the gift of a man will make way for him and bring him before great men’. In simple terms, your selling point is your inborn talent and skill, what you can do better than another. So let me ask again, what is your selling point?.

Many of know this already but the problem is we have been taking advantage of our talent. A talent/skill that placed in us to make way for us and bring us before great men. The Sooner we realize this, the better for us to start making use of it for its main purpose, if not, we might just end up being trodden upon, neglected and sidelined. We all get to a stage in life where the need will arise for us to stop depending on our parents and guardians. We will have to take responsibility for our lives and our decisions. Putting education or certificate aside, this talents and skill are eventually what we would fall back on when the going get tough! This is the same reason i believed made God to deposit these talent and skills in each and everyone of us. We might not all be born with a silver spoon but that doesnt mean we should suffer.
I am among the many who wasnt born with a woden spoon not to talk of a silver one. I know what i went through to finish up with my secondary school, and i know what i went through and the number of years i spent to get into the tertiary institution i am now. but despite all the circumstances, i have never taken a shortcut as a lady to get to where i am today and what i have achieved so far. This is only becuase i quickly recognised, appreciated and put into use my inborn talents and skills. (you cant imagine how many they are)lol. I might sound funny, but its the truth. I have only been surviving all along with God help and my selling point. believe me or not, its the truth. Making use of my gift is the only way i survive in school and also take care of my personal needs. My selling point isnt only making way for me, it is amazingly bringing me into limelight that i dont even need to start anoucing or advertising myself to the world, my gift is already doing that for me. Your talent might seem similar to that of another person, but what makes it inborn is that, you wil always portray your gift differently than the other person would.
So get up, discover your gift if you havent, appreciate it, make it your seling point and start fufiling the purpose for which it was initially deposited. Stop depending on people. Start taking responsibilities. Let your gift make way for you and bring you before great men.

Inspirational: One Day

One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle.   It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, 'Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd.' I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.   As I handed him his glasses, I said, 'Those guys are jerks.’ They really should get lives. 'He looked at me and said, 'Hey th...

INSPIRING STORY: LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR TEMPER

Once upon a time there was a little boy who was talented, creative, handsome, and extremely bright. A natural leader. The kind of person everyone would normally have wanted on their team or project. But he was also self-centered and had a very bad temper. When he got angry, he usually said, and often did, some very hurtful things. In fact, he seemed to have little regard for those around him, even friends. So, naturally, he had few. “But,” he told himself, “That just shows how stupid most people are!”  As he grew, his parents became concerned about this personality flaw, and pondered long and hard about what they should do. Finally, the father had an idea. And he struck a bargain with his son. He gave him a bag of nails, and a BIG hammer. “Whenever you lose your temper,” he told the boy, “I want you to really let it out. Just take a nail and drive it into the oak boards of that old fence out back. Hit that nail as hard as you can!” Of course, those weathered oak boards in th...
