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.

2016 Review: Voke Ogedegbe: 2016, My Blessings And Lessons So Far

2016 would forever become a memory in a matter of hours.  Before it rolls away, I want to talk about my year 2016. I entered 2016 oblivious of the fact it was a new year,  this,  was,  consequence of a terrible breakup I had in the October of the previous year.  The tears and pain that came with my broken relationship saw me through the first two months of the year and one morning in the month of March,  I woke up,  looked into the mirror,  told myself I was beautiful and I deserved more! I really think, the old witch in my village had dropped my picture to use another she fancied more than mine to fan her bosom and that's the only reasonable explanation as to how I received sense that morning. For the first few months of 2016, I laughed,  sometimes,  too hard. This was an attempt to mask my pain,  I put up a nice show - I should be an actress, I even deserve an Oscar. I didn't want the world to know my pain, I didn't want them to see I was weak and vulnerable,  I didn&

THE MYTH BEHIND MONEY

Money Money Money!!! Everybody just wants to make money. Sometimes I wonder if money has any other importance than to get us our basic needs and wants which are just pleasures and are perishable. The thing is, there is nothing that money gives that cannot be destroyed. So why so many of us have become slaves to money I can’t stop but wonder. Yea, money can give us respect and fame. With it, you will never have to suffer anymore. Some even see it as the means to secure their future and future generations. Yea, we can buy whatever we want with money, we can go places we want with money, we can step on any toes and we can do and undo anything we like. It has even gotten to the extent that some people can be bought over with money and this so called love we shout all about, has also gotten itself entangled in the web of money. So what are we saying? Money is good and without money, life can be frustrating and tormenting. Hmmm! But come to think of it, despite how powerful and i

WHEN WILL MEN DISCUSS YOU?

T his question was thrown to us one Sunday morning during a sermon in my church. I don’t know how others reacted to this brainstorming question but it kept me thinking all through the week. I kept asking myself the same question repeatedly on a daily basis and each time I hear people passionately discussing about the life and success of others. The moment that question came at me, I knew I was guilty and that really got me disturbed. I then realised that I really have a lot of work to do in getting to the level where people will begin to discuss my name for my challenges, failures, and achievements. Some of us are just too busy concerning ourselves with the lives of others while ours is at stake. Sometimes we get really so engrossed about some individual’s success that we follow all of their daily activities. We know when they get their new car, houses etc. This can obviously be seen in football fans. Nigerians especially are too attached with foreign clubs and footballers. They k
