A short poem about life.

  Life is a gift
life can be cruel
life can be kind
life can be hard
life can be tough.
life is mysterious
life is strange
life is complex
life is weird.
life has twists
life has turns
life has ups
life has downs.
life for good
life for bad
life for war
life for peace.
life and love
life and hate
life and growth
life and death.

INFLUX OF NETWORK MARKETING BUSINESSES IN GHANA

Image
It seems there is a new network marketing company every single day. I have even lost count of existing ones. Am even getting scared. God should save us. But I like the way they have turned Ghanaians into motivational speakers. You hear them say “Rise up and take your destiny into your own hands”, “Be your own Boss”, “Financial freedom/independence”, etc. Go ahead and take your destinies from God and manage it yourselves. Don’t forget being a network marketer doesn’t make you an entrepreneur, because that is someone’s company. So technically, you are still working for someone. So, tell me what type of entrepreneur will network marketing make you? And we have people leaving (resigning) professions like nursing, teaching, banking, etc to focus on network marketing to be their own bosses. How secured is that network marketing business? If the business collapses today like the banks, will you go on the streets and demonstrate that the Government should employ you again as doctor or...

Don’t Listen to Everything you Hear

Listening is very different from hearing. Hearing can simply be defined as the ability to perceive sound using the auditory sense, better still; getting to know or become aware of something. But listening on the other hand is paying close attention or taking a careful note of the sound that is perceived. This means listening depends on hearing. Anyone with a healthy auditory sense can hear but listening is a choice. This also means, one can hear everything but he or she chooses what to listen to. Hearing depend on your ear as a sense organ while listening should be based on your sense of judgement. This also means hearing is passive and listening is active. Meaning by listening, one is doing what he or she has heard. That is why it is important not to listen to everything you hear. This is because hearing and listening can be likened to production and consumption. There are many products or goods that are produced but one can not consume it all. We only choose what is good f...

Who Is at a Loss: The Nation or the Migrating Graduates/Artisans?

Image
In recent years, Ghana has witnessed an alarming trend: a significant emigration of its young graduates to developed countries such as those in Europe and North America. This outflow primarily encompasses skilled professionals from various fields; engineering, healthcare, finance, and technology as well as artisans like welders, masons, carpenters, tailors, etc who seek more promising career opportunities abroad. Yet, the irony lies in the disheartening reality that many of these individuals find themselves relegated to menial jobs that do not utilize their skills or academic qualifications once they arrive in these foreign lands. This raises a pressing question: who is truly at a loss in this scenario—the nation, Ghana, bereft of its talented youth, or the graduates or artisans themselves, who sacrifice their potential for better financial prospects? Ghanaian brain drain is not a new phenomenon. However, it has gained significant traction over the past decade, driven by various factor...
