Awareness



When Gandhi was studying law at the University
College of London, a professor, whose last name was
Peters, disliked him intensely and always displayed
prejudice and animosity towards him.
Also, because Gandhi never lowered his head when
addressing him as he expected, there were always
"arguments" and confrontations.
One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining
room of the University, and Gandhi came along with
his tray and sat next to the professor. The professor
said, "Mr Gandhi, you do not understand. A pig and a
bird do not sit together to eat."
Gandhi looked at him as a parent would a rude child
and calmly replied, "You do not worry professor. I'll
fly away," and he went and sat at another table.
Mr. Peters, reddened with rage, decided to take
revenge on the next test paper, but Gandhi
responded brilliantly to all questions.
Mr. Peters, unhappy and frustrated, asked him the
following question. "Mr Gandhi, if you were walking
down the street and found a package, and within was
a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of
money, which one would you take?" Without hesitating,
Gandhi responded,"The one with the money, of course."
Mr. Peters , smiling sarcastically said, "I, in your
place, would have taken the wisdom, don't you think?"
Gandhi shrugged indifferently and responded, "Each
one takes what he doesn't have."
Mr. Peters, by this time was fit to be tied. So great
was his anger that he wrote on Gandhi's exam sheet
the word "..." and gave it to Gandhi.
Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat down at his
desk,trying very hard to remain calm while he
contemplated his next move.
A few minutes later, Gandhi got up, went to the
professor and said to him in a dignified but
sarcastically polite tone, "Mr. Peters, you signed the
sheet, but you did not give me the grade."
MORALS
Staying sane and calm on the face of great insult and
annoying provocation is your major step towards
wining whatever may be staring your face.. Anger is
partial Insanity. You can only figure out superior
route out of the problem when your senses are intact..
Indeed Wisdom is Stronger than weapons of war..
Everyman takes what he dosent have! Stay away
From partial Insanity!

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

August Theme

Our thematic issues for this month is #NextGeneration We urge us in love to pick one of the issues under our theme for the month and help share messages, videos, pictures and matters for discussion and action plans under any of the issues. Let's dig deep into the concept of preparing the next generation of leaders, professionals, members of the society among others, which comes from God Himself right from creation and see how it improves acts of charity and social development. Humanity has survived since creation because intentional efforts have been made to prepare for generations to generations. Families birth those who'd constitute the next generation. If we don't prepare the next generation, we'd have a retrogressive situation which is highly preventable. #NextGeneration #August TLF 💚
