EKs LIFETUNES

The dream of a nation hangs on the decisions of it's political leaders and actors. The American dream, like the Chinese dream, is clearly articulated and lived by its political leaders. This way, the people have a sense of it and are clearly directed and guided by the dream of the nation. Their individual and collective aspirations are guided by the national dream. They simply live it! Politics is choices made in the interest of the people concerned. Political leadership is the outcome of political processes, which process starts with political system(s). Political system is the architecture that defines political persons, political thoughts, political activities, political institutions and political outcomes.  The nature of the society gives credence to the political architecture that births its outcomes. Through the society, what is politically acceptable and what's not are defined, whether in a pronounced manner or silent approach - social psychology.  In Ghana, the common p

Transferable Ethics and Skills from Church to Work Place Introduction It is said, “If you do not stand for anything, you will fall for anything.” Also, “Success is 90% preparation and 10% perspiration” In every situation of demand on you to do something, there is almost always opportunity for development and improvement. Several people wonder where to start from after school in job search, business start-up or investing in a venture. Their dilemma is precipitated as a result of lack of experience on the job market and the work place. Particularly, those who have opportunity to study abroad are hit harder due to their inability to secure a company with which they could undertake internships. Fortunately, tertiary education exposes the youth and undergraduates to many experiences that are equally essential for the market place. It’s however sad to acknowledge that many young people take these opportunities with a pinch of salt. The situation becomes more dicey when many young people

Times and seasons have greatly dented the image and perception of who a woman is. On this special International Women Day , I would like to pay special homage to all women and to highlight their undaunting contribution to life, as well as, political and socio-economic development of the world. Whilst this article does not emanate from an expert on gender issues, the ideas here are engineered from the stroll of an unbiased and unfiltered observer who appreciates the contribution of women and the modernist ideological attack to down-grade them. As the practice has been, the International Women’s day has gained grounds in almost every nation of the world, where 8 th March has been inscribed in the calendar of many ladies, feminist groups, gender activists, gender development institutions, policy makers and governments alike. At first, this celebration was limited to women in their late thirties and above, whilst, young ladies did not consider themselves women (for age consideration). How

  As I walked down the road from going to buy few items from city center, I tuned in to one of the local radio stations to catch up with the news of the day. As I listened on, the news was over and a gospel (Bible discussion) talk show ensued. I continued to follow the discussion when the team raised the issue of the officer who was given one talent in the parable of the talents. A man I would call "The Talent of One". As the discussion increased in tempo, I kept reminiscing the case of The Talent of One, particularly as one of the panel members highlighted that he considered his boss was … as he ascribed all sorts of unpalatable qualities to his boss.   For a moment, my mental excursions made me convinced that in life, when someone seek to say “that is how I see it” or “that is my view”, it becomes very challenging for another person to simply make claim that such a person is wrong. The radio discussion went on as I ruminated the case of The Talent of One. In principle,

Life has embedded in it, opportunities to learn from our daily experiences and those of others. Having had the chance to take care of her younger siblings, Glenda couldn’t help but learn the importance of milk for a growing baby. Milk is an absolute necessity for the growth of a baby. It contains essential nutrients in the proper proportions and also has antibodies to fight off viruses and bacteria. For the healthy development of a baby, milk is a necessity. However, not just any milk is given to the baby–you cannot continuously feed a baby with spoiled milk and expect him/her to grow well. The importance of WORDS can be likened to milk . Words have both restorative and destructive leanings. Just like the milk that succours and sustains a baby, words serve as tunes that, when well played, even the deadliest of persons awakens to its melo-harmonious waves. Several lives have been positively or negatively impacted by the power of words, which only those who spoke them understand

THE WORLD HAS TIMETABLE Pt. 1 There are different time zones that operate in creation. The world is divided into different time zones that govern life in general. However, there are two time dimensions that govern creation – God’s time (spiritual/supernatural/eternal time) that operates on a different pendulum and time that governs activities in the physical world (physical time). To this end, spiritual time operates as “ But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. ” (2 Peter 3:8). Genesis also gives the different segments of physical time (seasons): “ While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. ” (Genesis 8:22). Although this scripture somehow gives an idea that physical time has no end “shall not cease”, physical time in fact has an end that depends on when God has put in His souvereign plan. However there is
