My Heart is Sold to You!!

The first time I set my eyes on you I had to take them off you not because you looked terrible but simply because I could not stand to look into your eyes, they are lovely, filled with warmth and compassion. I did only look at you for a few seconds that day but it felt like forever.

I have always been told that my eyes are intimidating but it is nothing compared to yours, I think I would melt every time I see those eyes, I feel as though they are looking into my soul. Am surprised because that day it was no more than a glance, but it felt too good so I simply tucked it deeply away from the current affairs of my heart.

The second and third time was brief as well, I sighted you from afar and alas I was stunned. I wondered why it was so, and I was curious too, and the thought made me happy. My heart practically felt still like Hermione Granger in Harry Potter’s Chamber of Secrets when she saw the Basilisk.

I had to thank the Good Spirits for this human that is so fearfully and wonderfully made by our Lord. He’s the only explanation for your creation and his explicit presence is so evident in your life I tell you.  

Well then the third time I saw you, I literally couldn’t breathe and I could feel the muscles in my stomach tighten so I just had to go outside to get some air lest I choke. Hahaha, funny right, but it was true. Well thank Goodness you didn’t see me.

Then came the fourth time, I was excited to walk with you and I could tell my spirit was alive, I wished the distance would increase so it will take a while to get to our destination but then I thought that was a selfish thought so I discarded it.

So I wonder and I ponder and I tell you, not a day or forever would simply be enough to talk with you because the things you say, the words you speak and the smile on your face makes my heart listen to you and if you would promise not to break my heart in two, my heart is already sold to you.

                                               

Geez, does anyone know who wrote this? I wonder who did!!!

Blue Ocean Strategy!!

I picked up something in Business School it's called the "Blue Ocean Strategy"; It's the ability to create an uncontested market place and make competition irrelevant. As a budding social scientist I believe this can be applied into our individual lives after all Darwin said nature is all about survival of the fittest!

Evolution is on stoppable but you might as well have a hand in what you evolve into. For those that want to work for people I would pick unemployment as an example; the norm is for individuals to go beg corporations for jobs and as we can see the probability of getting hired narrows down daily, but hold on a sec do you know corporations go after certain people to beg them to work for them i.e. CEO's, consultants, subject matter specialist etc. Right now do you have a feeling you have failed because you have applied countless times without a single response, hold on mate! Why not create an uncontested market place for yourself, by developing your God giving potentials and talent even successful comedians are hired by Corporations!

Do you have a business and you are struggling or you want to go into business and you are scared? Why not try doing things differently!!! There were phones before Apple came out with the iPhone and now they are the most valuable company on earth!! So my friend there's nothing like the market is saturated!!!! I think there's a word you want to hold on to "INNOVATION"! It's either you invent a new product or invent a new way of doing things in your intended market either way make sure as a business you don't continue to rely on old processes it will only give you old results!!

This is for my country Nigeria, ain't we tired of all 53 years of been a country and no one inventor to fix our electricity problems (the state of our infrastructures is appalling!), or among the League of Nations we are not even competitive in one area!! Haba!! It's time for we the electorate to think, you know we as a people can create relevance with or ideas and actions that we will be able to hold our politicians accountable before we can start growing as a nation thereby leading to economical prosperity.

As a wise person once said "Doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results, is the definition of being crazy" - Unknown

I hope this inspires you this morning.
