LIFE LESSONS WITH KAYCEE

  I am writing a series on the topic: the grass looks greener on the other side. "The science school experience" is the first part. When I was in Junior high school (JSS3), I had two options for Senior high school; either to continue in the same school or to move to a special science school since I was interested in sciences. I choose to move to a science school, and then comes the option of choosing which of the science schools to go to. There was a special science school in the same compound with my school (let us call it science school A), but I swore never to go to that one nearby. I can't really remember all my reasons though, the number one reason was because it was nearby. I see the way the senior students maltreat the other students, so I never wanted to go through that; plus I wouldn't want to be asked to go from home since the school isn't so far from home. I actually never saw that particular science school as a school I should choose for any reason. So...

 The world is full of diverse storms. Everyone is in one storm or the other; pain, lack, loss, shame, illness, disappointment, death, failure, fear, stress, humiliation, conflict, etc. We may not be able to escape these storms but we can find a way to be at peace in the midst of it all. It appears impossible but Jesus did it and He assured us that we can do much more than He did (John 14:12). If He was able to sleep through a raging storm, with all the fury and rage; so can we. Mark 4:35-41 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.”   Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.   Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”   He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Qu...

  When I do something with difficulty and discover there are better ways to go about it, I do not hesitate to share with anyone who is willing to listen. I see a lot of people start something and in less than a year, they give up and quit. I have been there myself, I understand the struggle and I believe you can learn one or two things that will be of help. The following are some of the reasons why people fail: 1.    Lack of concentrated effort: I see people try to be and do a lot of things at the same time. When I first started my business, I had about three areas I wanted to meet needs; IT, education and personal care. Looking at those three areas, you will see they are in no way related and required separate efforts to power them. The best thing would have been to choose an industry and focus all my energy on it. Trying to be a jack of all trade will make you a master of none. In the business world, a lot of people have what you have, but what will make you out...

   I live to learn. I learn from people, books, messages, music, movies, nature, etc; and when I learn I share. I do not share because I think I am wiser than others. I am aware that others may have already learned these lessons before me, but I am passionate about sharing. It gives me joy when I transfer my thoughts into something someone can read or listen to. I willingly sacrifice a little sleep, TV, and gist times to read, write or make a video for my YouTube Channel. You can see some of the videos using the following link: Life lessons with Kaycee The question I have for you now is, what are you willing to sacrifice to live your passion? There is no getting without giving. Maybe what you need to sacrifice to get what you want is your pride, maybe it's your entitlement, or your attitude. Below are examples of people who made sacrifices to achieve their purpose.   1. Ruth: she was resolute about following her mother in law and making Naomi's people and God her own too....
