Literature20 Principles For Dreamers In 2016. (not For Everybody) by billtommy(op): 1:43pm On Dec 31, 2015
Now, in response to what naysayers, gatekeepers, or anyone (Family, Friends, Colleagues) might say to keep you from dreaming, I want to share 20 principles why you should ignore them and follow your dreams, if you really want to achieve your goals, dreams and aspiration in the year 2016: These principles are applicable to all spheres of our lives, our businesses, social relationships, family lives etc.

1. The only “yes” you need to follow your dreams is yours. Do your findings, be convinced within yourself and kickstart that dream of yours.
2. You’ll regret it later in life when you see someone else has made it from that dream you’re delaying, you’ll question yourself why didn’t you do it sooner.
3. Not following your dreams would make you feel unaccomplished. Eventually, this will stop you from dreaming altogether (your esteem will be affected).
4. It will attract some attention, even from the naysayers and haters. You will feel strong as you prove the naysayers wrong. As Walter Bagehot said; “The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.”
5. People who follow their dreams are doers. Doers have more power to create, influence, and change their environment… and eventually the world. Be a doer and not just a sayer in this year 2016.
6. Life feels more memorable, hence you feel and become more memorable.
7. Following your dreams might take unexpected turns, but those are the interesting and memorable challenges of living the dream (take responsibilities where necessary, don't abandon your dream because of a mere challenge that will pass).
8. Those challenges will help you grow as they make you step out of your comfort zone.
9. Dreams make you take chances, but chances can bring more opportunities.
10. Afraid about it? Good. Being afraid makes you feel more alive, so smash through that brick wall of fear. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Elbert Hubbard once said, “The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.”
11. Your dreams and your actions define you. Don’t let others define you with what they tell you to do and not to.
12. You will inspire other to follow their own dreams, even if they know nothing about you. (Don't be afraid to share your story after you have started getting results)
13. Following your dreams makes you interesting (You will definitely have whole lot of experiences to share)
14. Who doesn’t love to challenge the status quo?
15. There are no rules in life so why limit yourself to what everybody else is doing?
16. Accomplishing your dreams will spark even bigger dreams.
17. You feel you have something more to live for (Purpose)
18. Even if your dreams fail, you’ll feel proud you gave it your all to accomplish them. Dreamers fail every now and then, but they also learn more in life. You learn from failure. So, dust yourself off and try it again.
19. It’s your life, live it under your terms! (Nobody has the power to define your life except you)
20. After finding all necessary information, give no room for them to discourage you from what you have already known a lot about, to introduce you to the UNKNOWN. Be focused.

Jobs/VacanciesLearn From The Story Of Two Interviewees by billtommy(op): 10:02am On Nov 17, 2015
At the interview to fill the vacancy of a Field Engineer in a multinational oil company, two competent and qualified Engineers were short-listed and the company was to decide on who to retain and who to show the red card.
They asked them If they could drive and they both answered in the affirmative even though only one of them could drive. The Head of the Human Resources spearheading the interview cum pruning session then handed his car keys to them to prove their driving skills
within the premises.
The over-confident applicant collected the car key, opened the car, switched on the ignition, lighted it up, sped off, swirled, swerved and made some stunts on wheels before parking the car on the same spot to the seeming rousing applause and mischievously knowing smile of the interviewers. The other applicant who could not drive collected the key all the same, opened the car, opened the bonnet, checked the engine oil level, the brake fluid level, the gear oil level and the water in the radiator level. As he closed the bonnet, the chief interviewer walked towards him and said:
"Don't bother driving, you've just been hired!" Precaution is more powerful than
expertise! The race is not for the swiftest, but to the wise! Don't be brash and over-
confident. Learn the ropes and never back off from giving your best even If you don't possess what it takes. That someone is doing it fast doesn't mean he is doing it right! Direction is more important than speed! Exercise caution and take precaution in the journey of life-that's how to be recruited into the employment of success..
Have a blessed day.

CultureThe Origins Of White People According To Ifa (odu Ifa Eji Ogbe) by billtommy(op): 8:27pm On Nov 09, 2015
In Odu Eji Ogbe, Ifa says [are you ready?]. If Eji Ogbe is cast for someone, Ifa says this person wants to go somewhere, and there are things or people that are bothering him/her. Ifa says (s)he should make an offering. Ifa says the thing that is bothering him/her will become a source of joy and (s)he will enjoy prestige for all of his/her days.



Ifa also says that it is not just one person, there is a whole group of them who want to go somewhere. If they go, the place will be very good, they will prosper and be successful. In fact, the people who were causing problems for them before will later begin seeking them out wherever they are. This is how they will become greater than the others. Yes, this is what Ifa says. Ifa said:



O lootọ, o loore, ṣo gbe mi, ma ṣe gbe mi ti, Saara ga, Eji furu a dia fun Oyinbo ọmọ aṣogun dere ni ọjọ ti wọn yio kuro ni Ile-Ifẹ. Awa o kuku mọ ibi ori n gbe nire, Ẹla dakun, ko sin wa lọ. Ibi rere, ọpẹ n gbe nire, ibi rere. Ifa mo ni o sin wa lọ, ibi rere lọpẹ n gbe nire, ibi rere. Ọrunmila mo ni n sin wa lọ. Ibi rere, lọpẹ n gbe nire, ibi rere.



[It is true, it is good, favor me, do not refuse to favor me, Saara ga, Eji furu cast Ifa for Oyinbo the child of the one who transforms Ogun (god of iron, war, and technology) into an idol when they were going to leave Ile-Ifẹ. We don’t know that the place that our destiny will take us. Please Ẹla, accompany us. We know it must be a good place that the Palm Tree [Ifa] is taking us. Ifa, I beg you to accompany us. We know it must be a good place that the Palm Tree [Ifa] is taking us. We know it must be a good place that the Palm Tree [Ifa] is taking us. Ọrunmila, I beg you to accompany us. We know it must be a good place that the Palm Tree is taking us]



This is Ifa sign that was cast for the Oyinbo [white people] in the time of the ancestors when they left Ile-Ifẹ. This was because at that time, their parents, the ones who gave birth to them, Ọrunmila told them that the children would be strange and peculiar, the children that they would have. Oluorogbo, Ooṣala [Oriṣanla], and.. eh, Olokun. When they were trying to have children, Ifa said, their problem will become a source of joy. Ọrunmila said for Olokun, Ooṣala, and Oluorogbo that they would find what they were looking for.



He said they should offer a sacrifice, and once they had achieved what they wanted, the children they would have would be strange and peculiar. They prepared the sacrifice: 200 she-goats, 200 fish and rats, that was the sacrifice, along with 200 hen’s eggs.



When they gave birth, they had peculiar white children. Ah! People said, “What kind of children are these? Maybe they are this, maybe they are that.” They took care of the children and raised them, but when they grew up the children could not eat food or do most kinds of work. They could not eat any food that had hot pepper in it. Unless it was eggs that they could eat, or fried meat. Later on many of the black-skinned people would ridicule them, make fun of them and call them lazy. They would say, “They [the white children] don’t go to the farm, they don’t do this, they don’t do that…”



When they had all grown up, the white people, they got together and had a meeting. Let’s leave these black people, we can’t live with them the way they are behaving. They realized that they should consult Ọrunmila. Ọrunmila cast Ifa for them and said, “You want to go somewhere. You should make an offering.



However, you must not forget where you come from. Every year, when your parents celebrate their festivals, you must come back.” They said, “Yes, we want to leave this town, but we don’t know where we should go. Now that you have said that we should offer a sacrifice, it will all be well.” Then they made the offering. They asked Ọrunmila if he would go along with them, but Ọrunmila said he couldn’t. He told them to go with God’s blessing, and that there was no place where they could go that he didn’t know already, and that the people who were ridiculing them before would spend a great deal of money seeking them out in the future. It will be as if they are as valuable as gold.



That is how Oyinbo [white people] became as good as gold amongst the people of the world today. If a person travels to Oyinbo’s country, (s)he will have to go through a lot of trouble just to get there. If (s)he ever gets there, his/her family will be so happy. Ah! Our child has made it to Oyinbo’s country. (S)he has become rich. Until today people are still looking for any way to get to Oyinbo’s country.



Ifa says this person’s problem will become a source of joy and (s)he should offer a sacrifice as a result. (S)he will be successful and prosper in the place where (s)he wants to go. This is the sign that was cast for Oyinbo when they wanted to leave Ile-Ifẹ long ago. Yes, that is how Oyinbo left Ile-Ifẹ. Until today, if you travel [to Oyinbo’s land], that is the sign cast for Oyinbo. This is how Ifa said it in Eji Ogbe about Oyinbo, the white-skinned people. Ifa foresees a blessing.
