THE GIFT OF FAMILY.

The gregarious nature of man does not allow him to live in solitude. Trust me no one wants to be alone, not forever.The content and understanding of family varies across cultures. What, comprises of family in your opinion? It could be your biological parents and siblings, spouse, friends, pets, neighbours, work colleagues, classmates, church member/pastor, or a good Samaritan. However you define family, you may find it in one or more of the genres mentioned.
Our survival on this earth is somewhat determined by the presence of a representation of these groups. Family is a gift from God. They are with through through your entire life; through the fights and quarrels, pain and heartbreaks,  misunderstandings and conflicts, peaceful times, joyous moments and celebrations. This is God's promise to us, his children, that he will be with us to the end. And he keeps his promise with the gift of family.
When you find yourself on another part of the globe you immediately want to call your mother, friend, a loved one or even your pet dog (lol) so you can hear a familiar voice or share your experience. How would life be if you were left on your own to survive after birth. With the best health care and most nutritious meals no baby will survive without some tender love and care from another human.

It is impossible not to have a family. No matter what you are not alone in the world;someone loves you, God loves.

WORLD THINKING DAY: PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAP!

Did you know World thinking day was observed across the world yesterday? Well of course, not everyone would know about it but that doesn’t downplay its significance. This day is especially celebrated annually on February 22 by all Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. So for a developing nation like Ghana what does this day mean to us? I sampled some interesting views from the streets. While some opined that as Ghanaians we were thinking others disagreed. The former group speaks out about the problem being implementation and not the lack of creative ideas from critical thinking. For the latter we cannot be thinking if we are plighted as a nation with the most fundamental problems. They argue we are still struggling with our basic needs. Here are some more interesting opinions I gathered; “we must think outside the box and/or try finishing our thinking within the box, avoid thinking about trivialities and confusing worrying for thinking”. So are you thinking? Is Ghana a thinking nation? Renowne...

“Make your netWORK your net WORTH”

A great man once said smart entrepreneurs make their network their net worth. This means beyond regular income sources you can make money directly or indirectly from the people you meet at social gatherings. It’s not all about having a good chat, good laugh or nibbling on finger foods with some cocktail. You don’t just get to meet prospective clients but people who may have or will direct you to solutions to help grow your business. Business support organization TechnoServe has over the years been offering training and solutions to start ups and growing businesses. At a recent networking event a resource person provided by Technoserve gave this advice. “When you attend a networking soiree or cocktail, walk up to somebody or a group and strike up a conversation.” Tell them about what you do, how you do it etc. Technoserve believes limiting interactions with people already within your circles is disadvantageous to any business. ENGEN is a business plan competition run by Techno...
