“The earth's vegetation is part of a web of life in which there are intimate and essential relations between plants the the earth, between plants and other plants, between plants and animals. Sometimes we have no choice but to disturb these relationships, but we should do so thoughtfully, with full awareness that what we do may have consequences remote in time and place.”
― Rachel Carson, Silent Spring

“The problem with preparing for the worst is that that has the power to attract the worst.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“We have been blind somewhat; blind after the manner of men, since when we can look back we see what we might have seen looking forward if we had been able to see what we might have seen! Alas, but that sentence is a puddle; is it not?”
― Bram Stoker, Dracula

“Any accomplishment rests far more in determination than ability, for determination is the greatest ability of all.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Oh that we might have the wisdom to stop, lean down and pick up the scattering of things that we’ve so thoughtlessly discarded along the way. For if we were to do so, we would suddenly find ourselves holding the very treasures that we’d been looking for all along.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“There is wisdom in always exploring the counterpoint- sometimes a silver cloud has a dark lining too.”

“The bronze of the door is worthless, alas,
to keep me from seeing her who comes
by the walks of myrtles to search me out
drunk with hatred and crazed by fate.”

“I am truly happy for people who have depth and can see beyond the present not spiritually now but in terms of process and knowing that anything and everything good must take time.

I am truly happy for people who know that you must sow before reaping.

I am truly happy for people who know that you must count 1 before 2.

I went to an organization today and spent most part of my time there.

I watched this organization grow and also recruited for them apart from using the place as set for OMA LIVING SHOW.

They were occupying a small space in one of the phase 2 districts in Abuja...
Today, they are occupying a big edifice all by themselves and to say I am proud of them is an understatement.

I am happy for the team members and staff who did not run away because of SMALL SALARY like most of us will call it.
They have been there and growing with the company.

They will be called LUCKY for having this job by the same people who carry shoulders up and quote things like; “I KNOW MY WORTH, I can’t work for less than 1 million Naira per second�...
They will be called lucky by those who sit and complain about unemployment day in day out while rejecting every job offer on account of the most flimsy and watery reasons...

But I will always say it...
Nobody is lucky!

Some people simply decided to face reality and abide by certain principles.

Many authentic beginnings are small...
But most don’t know it because they want to make it overnight!

But I am happy at the revolution that is happening.
This is a good time to embrace process.

Start building today.”

“No lecture and no moral. Just blood calling to blood. The stupid urges of wakeful people. And you've made it to a time of life when you're completely awake. It's hard for you. I know that. It's hard for everyone, but most teenagers don't have your abilities. Your weapons.”
― Stephen King, Doctor Sleep

“For my father, the myth of Cassandra had been just another way he sought to guide me toward what he thought I needed to know. In some versions, Cassandra's fate is that she is merely misunderstood--not unlike what my father imagined to be the obvious fate of a mixed-race child born in a place like Mississippi. "She was a prophet," he told me, "but no one would believe her." Over the years, though, this second naming would come to weigh heavily on me. It was as if, in giving me that name, he had given me not only the burden of foresight but also the notion of causation--that whatever it was, if I could imagine it, see it in my mind's eye, it would happen because I had envisioned it. As if I had willed it into being.”
― Natasha Trethewey, Memorial Drive: A Daughter's Memoir

“Lonzi said the only thing worth loving was what was to come, and since what was to come was unforeseeable---only a cretin or a liar would try to predict the future---the future had to be lived now, in the now, as intensity.”

“When God sends a message of warning through dreams and visions, he is not sending them to instill fear in your heart. He wants to avert the evil that could have happened and soothe your heart with profound peace.”

“What was up I didn’t know. But the morning of Carnival, when I was lighting those candles, these two mockingbirds, you see, they flew from the skies, rested on my porch, watched my hands they did. I looked at their bodies. So pretty, shaped like swollen arrows. To them I said, “Welcome.â€� Who these birds were, I did not know. But mockingbirds don’t fly up every day and watch me light candles, no. So I said to myself, Soliel Marie, something could be up. A breeze blew through. I sucked in as much of the clear wind as I could. I wanted it to sit in my body. Swirl through, find my heart and my bone, I told the breeze. The two mockingbirds right then, lifted wings through the air, them. Then I knew. I opened my mouth so the breeze could leave. Believe me, yes, I felt the sign was definite. Change was coming.”
― Connie May Fowler, Sugar Cage

― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“If I reject love, it’s typically because I do not understand it sufficiently to see it even when it stands right in front of me. And if through some miracle I do see it, I don’t value myself sufficiently to embrace it even when that self-same love sets the immensity of my value right in front of me. And what I cannot afford to forget is that God’s love is never intimidated by either of these.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
