What do you know about Silicon Valley?

I watched a very inspiring video today on Justin.TV. It's an interview that was held with one of the Who's Who in Silicon Valley talking of Mark Zuckerberg. He really touched the 'binary' side of me and I just couldn't resist doing a post on it. Our main focus anyway would be on Silicon Valley. Many of you know something or much about it or maybe you just know it's a place where those 'big elite' Tech companies reside. You're right in a way...

Torch-Explorer?

Let's talk. It's been a while you know. How well have you spent this year? Okay here's a checklist since I can't get feedback. On a scale of 1-10, hw would you rate your year goals that have been achieved? How many books have you read? How many lives have you impacted? How close have you been to God? By the end of this note I hope to get you stirred up. I subscribed to John Maxwell's daily teachings and so far they've helped me a great deal...

Before you throw the Mortarboard

This was something I wrote for the Graduating Class of my Alma Mater. It was originally posted on FB and sparked off so many feedback mails and comments of people that were blessed. So here's it for your perusal. You'll enjoy it. So I decided after much postponement and deliberation to write this note. I initially was to make it a testimonial/interview of a sort with real-life views from various people (which would come later) cuzpeople seem...

After the Bruise

I'll skip the cliche intros and just get to hit the nail straight on the head. Disclaimer: Any unnecessary words used here is not unintentional, it is purposely intended to actually bring out the reality of this life we call our world. Now let's go on an imagination ride. Imaginations are good sometimes you know. Now imagine a little child crawling, say 10 months old, then he tries to get up. He fumbles a few steps and then crashes down. (Loud infant cry). Parent comes and picks him up, pats him and the cry stops. Now the child falls and is...

Nkem...My Hope

I glanced at Nkem from a distance and smiled. Yes, I smiled. I smiled not because I was content but because it was what I did when I was deeply hurt. I was hurt, badly and I shook my head slowly from side-to-side. I stood up from the stool and looked into the sky as though I would get answers...the sun had begun to set. I watched 2 dogs chase each other across the yard. The bigger one which I perceived was the male chased behind the female, sniffed...

Info Age: Good cause or curse?

The information age was projected to reduce workload hence create more time but the opposite is happening. Technology has created a virtual reality of what isn't there at all.  The industrial age was escorted out with the introduction of machines which were projected to ease and shed some work hours off, hence creating more time but this has only led to more demand for that scarce resource called Time. It has only created more avenue for more time demand in the workplace at the expense of the family. Present modern family systems are slowly...

The 20m parable

I counted... 6m...12m...then I aked him again. "Each colour is 6m right?". "Yes Michael", he responded  "Wait a minute...lemme count again" as I said with excitement on my face. "1...2...3...3 and a half...Wow!" "Let's just say 20m, right?" I asked again. This time he was deeply engrossed in his work and could barely hear me. I recounted the climbing experience as I made it up the steps to try to reach the top of the 50m tower with the aid...

Tinsel

Not writing this note would be a total selfish motive. Its based on a discovery in the depths of one of those moments of meditating. Its not one of those that I plan to write with my dictionary correcting typos and all. Its not one of those to like also cuz I'm saying it as it comes. I just discovered something that we are actually in one of the most severe wars than we ever thought. It worse than any wars ever seen because it can't be seen. Its the most carefully planned, thought out and subtly executed kind.  Its a war of morals. The...
