-A poor Nigerian boy can become an American president <=

- <=an event of immense proportion can occur that can lead to the change of the laws for US presidency

You could be the first man to land in Mars within the next 5 years <=

- <= Some scientists more brainy than Einstein can suddenly get involved in space technology thereby quickening inventions

You could fly or disappear <=

You could become the next Hitler withinn a couple of years <=
-<= There is an unplanned war between North and South Korea. Israel strikes Iran and Nigeria at same time claiming that they present a threat to it.

118 ) Endless Possibility Nodes

Take a look at the diagram below. You'll see that at as time increases, you have a lot of possibilities.
i.e. there are many yous in the future -from a peasent you, to the greatest man alive you
in order words, you could be almost anything with Time, Choice and 'Chance'


.....I'll be back to take us through the diagram

119) At this point in time

At every point in time (i.e point 0 in the diagram above),
u have comparitively few things u can do

For example. if you're presently sitting on a chair reading this piece,
there are only a few thousand of things you can do within the next minute
For example:
-you could get up quickly
-you could get up slowly
-you could shout
- you could suddenly start thinking etc

Esere, well done! I think you should write a text book . Well done once again

Ishilove: Esere, well done! I think you should write a text book . Well done once again

Thanks Ma

(I did some surface writing about the male and female dating dynamics in this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/1265198/dwindling-pool-male-lovers-nigeria

I believe it will help some of us in better understanding and maximizing the mating game)

If after reading, laughing and enjoying it and I don't drop a comment, guess that will be say wicked of me. . .

I really enjoyed every piece of it especially the way the bible passages are brought into the write-up. . . .hope to learn more and apply them and more while in/after school. . . . Kudos to you!

Nice topic, u ve really changed my thinking blessed love bro.

BEST THING VE SEEN ON NL.. Thumbs up bro

BEST THING VE SEEN ON NL.. Thumbs up

It would be a lot more interesting if we could see more engaging commentaries on the various insights put forward by the OP.
I mean, asides the obligatory adulations

120) As you tinketh, so you are

From the diagram in post # 118 u see that at every point in time
there are a vast number of decisions you could make, and a vast number of actions you could take

The single most powerful factor in all of these vast and endless possibilities is your 'mind'
When yo have your mind set on a certain endgame whether in be short, medium or long term
It acts like a rudder directing the actions you take,
minimizing the possibility nodes,
thus living you less confused, giving your life a pettern,
and stiring you towards an envisononed direction

So someone that has set her heart on being a brilliant academic
will soon find that she spends more time taken actions and making decisions that lead her in that path
while minimizing actions and decisions such as excessive partying
that pulls her away from the path to her destination.

xtian perspective of post 120 concept

A lot of new gospel suggests that the tongue is the rudder of ones life
I do not completely agree with this
I believe that the rudder rests somewhere in the 'mind' (a certain decision and envisioning mental faculty)
This in turn would have some relationship with the tongue (spoken words)

(Before I could speak intelligent words, as a baby, my 'mind' was already active.
I remember crawling and staring at the design of the curtain in wonder as sunlight played some tricks on it
I also remember trying to make sense of the oyibo I was seeing on the TV that didnt look like anyone around me)

Jesus prayed in the garden of gethsamene
and all he did was heave, sigh, sweat and speak only a few words as he wrestled internally

If it is simply the spoken word that directs us, then the dumb have no hope
That is my 10kobo

121) Like a reed/straw drifting aimlessly in the ocean

Not toughtfull - Toughtfull
Rugged ...........- Dogged
Speed ............- Velocity
Scalar ...........- vector
effort ...........- work


On the other hand, if you have no 'envisioned goal',
you could end up displaying the characteristics mentioned in the left hand in the table above
Being tossed by whatever forces that prevail at the moment

So your friends like Arsenal, you become their fan
Your new friends like Chelsea, you switch to Chelsea

Pastor says Tithe is good, you accept
the same pastor changes his mind about tithing, and you easily accept too.

You take on other peoples visions because you lack yours
and you cry more than the bereaved


Using Postt 118's diagram, Folks and situations can easily take the thoughtless from point 'O'
through points A, B and C
and then bring them back to point 'O' soooooo easilly

look around you... these kind abounds

Hello,

I’m starting an important business project and I’m teaming up with some top business people who work with a fast-moving, growing company. I am looking for 100 vibrant business leaders, career people, clergymen, etc.

If we could make a good amount of money without interfering with everything else we’ve got going on, would you be open to taking a look at it? Would you like to travel to countries around the world more often meeting with other global partners?
I can’t give you all the details now on this, but I have one of the top leaders of the national expansion as a part of this event and you don't want to miss it.

I know you don’t have a clue yet why I am so excited about this, but you’ll soon see why once you come out to the event. This will be the best decision that you have ever made and I’m looking forward to seeing you then!

Date: May 1, 2013
Time: 11am
Venue: Ikeja, Lagos.

122) Summary of possibility nodes

If you wan become something
what you need is to set your goal, then make and take decisions and actions that push you in the direction of your goal
Shikena

For many matter
it is advisable that your desired goal is not too rigid
this might make it unacheivable and end up breaking your heart badly

Imagine setting your heart on marrying a girl that is exactly 6feet tall, with bachelors in Accounting from MAULAG with a 1st class, that is ebony in colur to a certain tone, and is from Calabar.
If ever you do find such a girl you might end up being a foooool in-love

The idea is to set a realistic and slightly fluid goal:
The girl will be between 5.6feet to 6.1feet, intelligent and from South South Nigeria
