"An event has happened, upon which it is difficult to speak, and impossible to be silent." (~Edmund Burke) "THEY CAME FIRST for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. THEN THEY CAME for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. THEN THEY CAME for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. THEN THEY CAME for me, and by that time, no one was left to speak up." (~Pastor Martin Niemöller) An ardent nationalist and prominent Protestant pastor, Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) emerged as an outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last 7 years of Nazi rule in concentration camps. He is probably best remembered for the above quotation. The quotation is taken from his lectures during the early post-war period. There are different versions of the quotation, which are attributable to the fact that Niemöller spoke extemporaneously and in a number of settings. There i...

How Much Sex Is Too Much Sex? So, How Much Sex Is Too Much Sex? This question came up many years ago during a conversation about marital sex.    A couple in relationship stress were with friends, when the man suddenly said “I like sex more than my wife”. All eyes stayed with him a few moments, and then, as if choreographed, all together turned to the wife. She meekly said “I can’t satisfy my husband, because he likes too much sex”. Again, as if rehearsed, all eyes looked to the floor for another few moments, before, one by one, gently, carefully, coming back up. No-one could look at either of them. No-one wanted to be accused of taking sides. Who has been schooled enough in the area of handling marital relationships? Those with professional counselling skills know that this is the make or break point in most relationships, and needs to be handled with absolute caution. Many relationships are sick and on the verge of collapse because the protagonists in the marriage cannot ...

autumn, winter, spring, summer - the new dawn Here's for all who stood by me in autumn. things looked so bad, they didn't know how much... Here's for all those who got me through winter, hungry and lonely, they brought a gift in love... It's for all those who came in spring who saw a flicker, and held on to hope... Many of these made me laugh, looking into my court, and seeing beauty... some came, and made me cry, they saw withered grass, and helpless little me... Others couldn't give a hoot, Strolling by, a shrug, a wince, and a "what-could-i-do?" The night's over, the dawn breaks.. This is it, folks. this is really it! But not to die. Winter's over, Spring is here. This season of hope, and radiance brings with it summer, sunshine and song!!! Wishing you all a happy new year... © Yinka Dixon-Oludaiye, 31 December 2009 (2:02 GMT) © All rights reserved. copyright intentional. Please use freely, but do acknowledge.

The keynote speaker at one seminar I attended made this statement - "We all wear masks". As I pondered on what possible meanings that statement might have, I realised that this is a general summation of humanity. Regardless of whom we are and at different times in our lives, we all wear masks. What, then, is a mask? Generally speaking, a mask is a covering for the face. It is a covering for part, or all, of the face, worn to conceal a person's identity. It is a grotesque or humorous face worn at carnivals, masquerades, etc. Anything that disguises or conceals (e.g. pretence), is a mask. A person might be hurting badly, and conceal it with a great big smile - Masks! Psychologists say that if a person tells you several times during a conversation "I'm not lying", he usually is lying. Masks!Lots of people have different masks for different days, and perhaps different occasions. Masks are those things that allow us to assume that we are different from other peo...

Here Are Some Things You Must Avoid If You Want Your Business To Succeed There are a number of things you need to be aware of, and ensure never to do once you decide to go into business, if you want to succeed. You are probably aware of these if you already run a successful business. New business owners, however, need to print these tips, like a road map or navigator direction, as they may find them quite helpful. First, you must never jump into business without doing thorough research, and having a business plan. You must know all the details about the business you are about to delve into. It is very useful to know how your finances will play out. So having a good idea of the financial details always helps. Helpful, also is your knowledge of your competition. As a matter of fact, it is only when you have done your research, and arm yourself with a business plan, that you can claim to be prepared for business. Your business plan is your real insurance and is specific to the business yo...
