AHMED'S PREDICAMENT



You’ve probably read or heard about
the 14 year old boy who made a
digital clock and got arrested by the
Police after his teacher mistook his
homemade clock for a bomb. Awful,
right?
Now here’s the good part:
The news got on social media and
people from all over the world
condemned the act and gave massive
support to Ahmed for his ingenuity.
But it didn’t end there.
Ahmed got shout-outs from President
Obama, presidential hopeful Hillary
Clinton and Facebook CEO Mark
Zuckerberg invited him to Facebook.
Ahmed has also received invitations
to work at Twitter and Reddit, been
offered a seat at the Google science
fair and a scholarship to NASA’s
space camp – just to name a few.
Thanks to his teacher!
But what if Ahmed’s teacher had not
called the Police on him? Ahmed’s
clock and 13 other inventions by him
may have gone unnoticed. The world
may not have known there was a 14
year old genius somewhere in a
Texas high school.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
When life throws a stone at you,
stand on it.

networking Yesterday was memorable for me as there was a ready platform and a very aware man with a daunting unique message for everyone. We all need side "hustle" that augments our main source of livelihood and social media is a tool to milk out that purpose. It is more than just a meet-greet networking platform for business owners and individuals, It is an alternate revenue base for many who are aware. Young people are beginning to complain less and are totally reducing the dependen cy on the inept, clueless government while taking charge of their future using this medium. I discussed my entrepreneurship journey and stressed on the right way to stay "motivated". I met seasoned speakers on that platform --- # Lawyers  and  # Doctors  and I was specially grateful to God for that opportunity to share my truth and exchange valuable contact. The child of a nobody. NB: If you don't believe in God, from this moment, you should begin to believe in G

AMEND IT. ...But It was their anniversary, and Funke was waiting for her husband Kunle to show up. Things had changed since their marriage, the once couldn't-live-without-each-other cute couple had turned bitter fighting over every little thing. Both didn't like the way things had changed. Funke was waiting to see if Kunle remembered it was their anniversary, Just as the door bell rang, she ran to find her husband wet and smiling with a bunch of flowers in his hand. The two started re-living the old days. Making up for fights, then was the plan for champagne, light music, - and it was raining! It was perfect timing, But the romantic moment was paused when the phone in the bedroom rang.  Funke went to pick the phone up and it was a man who spoke.  "Hello ma'am I'm calling from the police station. Is this Mr. Kunle Adeoye's number?" "Yes it is!" "I'm sorry ma'am; but there was an accident and a man died. We got thi

   MY FAMILY...      When i was a kid, mom loved to make food for dinner and i recall one night in particular when she made dinner after a long hard day at work. On that evening, Mom placed a plate of bread, jam and extremely burned biscuits in front of my Dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed. Yet, my Dad did was reach for his biscuit, smiled at my Mum: and asked me how my day was at school. Honestly, at that time i can't remember what i told him that night, but i do remember hearing Mum apologize to my Dad for burning the biscuits. Later that night, I went to kiss Dad goodnight and then I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned; he was silent for a minute or two... He wrapped me in his arm and said 'Mom put in a long hard day at work today and she is really tired... And besides, a burnt biscuit never hurt anyone- but harsh words do. The point here exactly is, there are better ways to act without hurting people. UNDERSTANDING IS WH
