Buttons




They serve as connectors. They bridge gaps. Buttons when pressed send signals that make a device respond as desired.  Imagine a TV remote without buttons. Technology keeps advancing and we may soon have touch screen or ‘voice’ remote controls. Imagine your shirts without buttons. A brand new car without knobs and buttons. 

Buttons come in different sizes, colours, shapes but they serve the same purpose of keeping your shirts fastened or just sewn on for fancy. You may not go out of your way to buy buttons except your work requires use of buttons but if you are about to buy a new clothe and one or two buttons are missing, you would most likely draw the attention of the seller.

Buttons assist you communicate with your electronic device when seated some meters away from it. When a button on your remote control for TV, AC, DVD, etc. gets damaged by careless handling, communication line ceases. There is no inflow or outflow from that button. The button loses its functionality. 

Be the button that connects and bridges men with God. Be the button that will not lose its functionality.

For Posterity Sake

In most parts of the world, the month of May begins with 'workers day' holiday. There is dignity in labour they say and this is because workers (taxpayers) expectedly contribute to the GDP of every country alongside entrepreneurs’. All things being equal, workers should be able to at least live decently from the remuneration received at work. Growing up, I always wondered what people had to do daily in the office.

I recall my dad recount with pride the joy with which they worked in building the ‘‘new Nigeria’’ following the independence of Nigeria from British colonial masters. The take-home-pay could indeed take one home and provide the bare necessities of life. One could see how little activities in the work place added up to the bigger picture and goal of the t...

The Power of the Adolescent Girl

Image
  As October 2017 begins to roll into history, I lend my voice to celebrate every girl child on the surface of the globe. She comes like a gift wrapped in beauty and grace with her potentials carefully enclosed in her buds. Her birth may not have been announced. Yet, like the bud of a rose flower, she blossoms and lets out innocent fragrance to a waiting world. Roses come in lovely shades of White, Pink, Red, Orange, Lavendar, Purple, Yellow, Blue, Yellow and Green. Likewise, the adolescent girl. She comes in various shades and colours. Packed with potentials and possibilities. Her relevance lies in her virtue and inner strength. Not in wanton desires. Her uniqueness lies in her innermost beauty, not in vanity. Her future is filled with hope, not just glitz. The power of the adolescent girl is unimaginable! She is the treasure of the unborn generation. The gold mine that must be tapped for a better world.

We are moving house…

Growing up, I enjoyed drawing and sketching sceneries. Somewhere along the line the passion went into extinction and later metamorphosed into writing. Anyway, I thought I should let you know my new address, so you can stop by and comment. The excitement of the new house made me sketch my childhood picture of a farm house for you. Please feel free to open the door www.theinspiredpreneur.com ,  walk right in and stay inspired all through 2018. Yippee!
