Ideas Rule The World


IDEAS RULE THE WORLD!

A father once sat his teenage son down for a brief talk, he asked his son “Do you know how the world was made?” the son, a little surprised to hear that kind of a question from his father, and because he had been taught the story of creation right from the time he was in nursery school, and also at Sunday school in church, he answered his father; of course dad, “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and all the trees, animals, rivers, mountains and everything we see. The teenager went on and on then stopped when he said “and God rested on the seventh day”. His father smiled, is that all on how the world was made? Asked his father, yes that’s all replied the teenager confidently. His father sighed and then started; son, did you know that creation was first conceived in the heart and mind of God himself before it became a reality? His son looked on, not knowing where his father was going, the whole of creation, his father continued, was an idea of God, He nurtured it and it became a reality. That seemingly small idea brought to reality all that you see, including yourself. The son then started to get the picture then said, so dad, it means that through an idea the world was created, it also means that ideas will help us to maintain and to develop our world. That’s right son, his father remarked.

An idea brought the world to reality, through ideas, our world is beautified, through ideas our needs are met, through ideas, machines are built to improve on things, transportation, through ideas policies and laws to govern people and help us live harmoniously and peacefully. The human mind is a major production center; one can say that it is the production center where all other production centers evolve from, all we see and touch, all the tangible were all once ideas.

On another note, I can say that the intangible brings forth the tangible, meaning that whatever we see, appraise, adore either for its beauty, brilliance, comfort, durability, intelligence, size, speed and strength are all products of ideas. Therefore, its proper to say that in every sphere of life, ideas bring forth the best there is or there is to be, placing ideas on a higher level than manpower (physical strength) and cash power (financial strength), though all these supporting strikers are important in the wheel of progress and development, they must all be hinged on ideas, proving ideas to be the fulcrum of development and the major connection between what is already available and what is yet to be available. All the money in the world would be useless without ideas on how to invest and spend.

In conclusion, our world would be incomplete, incoherent and probably uninhabitable without ideas, and only the Lord God, Initiator of the greatest idea; You and I, can give the best, greatest and right ideas to place us, his children above and beyond others. So let’s trust in Him with all our hearts and lean not on our finite understanding, but acknowledge Him in all our ways and we will surely get the most life-blowing ideas. Ideas will always rule the world.

RESPONDING IN LEARNING

Image
RESPONSE/RESPONDING: Every living thing responds to stimulus. This stimulus could be internal or external. This response could be based on a stimulus that touches the body or the mind. How will a teacher or trainer know if a student or learner has learnt something new? From his/her response. For every action there is a reaction that is equal and opposite. This may vary from entity to entity though. Every action is a reaction to an action or actions; internal or external, which is equal and opposite to the causative action. A response is a reply or an action done in reaction to something. A response usually shows the content or make-up of the mind or the structure of the receiving person or entity.

EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP

“Follow the leader”, Mark exclaimed even as he walked briskly through the ranks from the back to the front. He had just learnt that every leader was meant to lead by example. Hannah, who was in line focused on Mark and urged others to do the same, “Even followers have to follow by example she said thinking she was talking to herself but not knowing that she had voiced it out. What do you mean by that, queried Bayo, the leader is the example we follow not the followers. Oh, I  didn't  know I let that out, thought I was whispering to myself, Hannah replied. You see, she continued, just as the followers follow the example of the leader, the followers to have a role to play in making the ride an enjoyable one for the leader. There are some followers who will probably dislike the leader, or hate his tactics or even want his position by every means, but as a follower who has the interest of the group at heart, I must work for the good of the group first putting my sent...

The 'D' in Leadership

Image
I have often heard people talk about discipline and getting to the top with it if I have an eye for the top. Though one cannot over-emphasize discipline, there is need to tread cautiously when relating Leadership with Discipline. From the dictionary, Discipline can be said to be the “Training of the mind and body to produce self-control, control gained as a result of training the mind and body, method of training”. It is the process of chastising or restraining one’s self in order to attain a goal or target that has been set for the greater good. From the Chinese, “The energy of the mind is the essence of life”. How well a person is able to make good use of the energy that his mind possesses and every opportunity that comes his/her way, and how well the energy and abilities are channeled in the right way to solve problems is a function of the level of discipline the person operated at. For leadership to blossom and grow effectively there must be discipline on the part of ...
