Perspectives On Life – JOSHUA’S NOTE

Life is an Investment. You reap from it what you sow into it.
Life is a Risk. The more risk you take, the more your chances of success.
– He who fears to take decisions because of risks will not experience progress.
– He who takes no risk, risks making nothing.
– The greatest freedom in life is freedom from fear, because fear has torment
– The worst freedom in life is freedom from risk, because nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Life is a Journey. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a step.
Life is a Battle, and is full of losers and winners.
– Those who fear to loose will not go to battle, will never win, yet could still loose it all.
Life is a Pleasure. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. But there is time for everything.
Life is a Mirage. The more you look, the less you see.
Life is a Race, but “. . . the race is not to the swift . . . but time and chance happeneth to them all.” (Ecclesiastes 9:11)
– Sometimes in life, great achievements do not follow physical or mental attributes or qualities. There is a divine arrangement for life’s achievements.
Life is a Theater. There are play-makers and play-viewers, but more of play-viewers than play-makers.
Life is Short. It is not how long, but how well.

This is W. Joshua’s note from Chapter Three of the book “Be Yourself” by W. F. Kumuyi of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry.

5 days ago by mardlifetv Of Pen And Sword - Idioms & Proverbs The pen is mightier than the sword. That is probably one of the first proverbs I learned as a child. I can't remember how many times I had to write about it as an essay, or argue it as a debate, but I know it is a concept that has stuck with me and many people like me. That saying also stays with you if you were a member of the Press Club in secondary school, but you don't know its full implication until life hits you. Ken Saro Wiwa, Dele Giwa,
6 days ago by mardlifetv Friendship is a sacred thing to me and it's not for hire. It is time I begin to scrutinize my friends, note who is seeing our relationship as a selfish business engagement, who is using me for selfish interest, who is all about adding toxicity into my life, and get rid of them. My friendship has never been for hire, that's why I have always built relationship not caring about immediate gains nor considering what I could pilfer off you. I always want my friends to be alright, put their interest at heart and try to check up on them
4 days ago by mardlifetv The Way Home A lot of us are familiar with the story of the prodigal son, but a part of his life we are not very much aware of is his journey on the way home. We are not given some specifics in this story, but we can make some educated guess. A famine period worsens overtime, it doesn't start out with its worst period. Long story short, Mr Big Baller could have spent as much as five years, if not up to ten years or more in the "far country". Do you know what happens in five to ten
2 days ago by mardlifetv Dear Pastors/Teachers/Preachers/Ministers/ Apostles/Evangelists/Etc When you preach the correct biblical principle of sowing and reaping please balance it with the biblical principle of hard work, diligence and creativity (study Joseph) or else you will be raising a bunch of lazy Christians always expecting manna from heaven. When you preach the correct biblical principle of perfect and divine health please balance it with the correct biblical principle of healthy living, or else you will be raising a bunch of gluttonous Christians that will be casting the spirit of cholesterol out of obviously harmful meals. When you preach the principle of transfer of
2 days ago by mardlifetv The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord . There were they in great fear: for God
4 hours ago by mardlifetv #Continued After the emergence of Fela Durotoye as Presidential candidate, I expected the naming of a Vice Presidential candidate, while the remaining aspirants then announce that they’ll be running for different State Governorship and Senatorial positions. This will help build a better base on which the team can launch a robust campaign into the general elections. A fantasy Nigeria in which Fela Durotoye emerges as President and everyone on the PACT wins their respective contests will see President Fela have Governors in different state that will always support his interest. The pact will also have Senators who will push bills
5 days ago by mardlifetv Love your neighbor as your self is a biblical injunction given by Christ Jesus himself. It is one of two new summary laws, with the other being that you should love the Lord God and worship no other God but him. A key component of loving your neighbor as yourself which a lot of people keep missing is the second aspect, "as yourself". First things first, you can never love someone more than they love themselves. Why? It is a waste. Someone who doesn't love himself will be incapable of accepting love from others. Secondly, you can never love others
4 hours ago by mardlifetv #Continuing How could one of eighteen people have successfully rigged an election that involved only eighteen of them? Did someone share dollars or did someone vote twice? What dissatisfied the “big boys” that made them have to opt out at the last minute or after their election had held? Did every one of them believe only them were deserving of being Nigeria’s next president? Leading up to the PACT “Grand Finale”, I had expected not only the presidential candidate to emerge, but also the Vice President candidate to also be unveiled. More importantly, I expected these smart minds to have
4 hours ago by mardlifetv A pact is defined as an agreement or covenant between two or more people. When some of the people we consider as leading erudite in Nigeria decided to align themselves politically, they redefined PACT to mean Presidential Aspirants Coming Together. Their move was met with euphoria on social media, and the youths believed that this pact will take our nation from the brink of oblivion into Eldorado. How wrong we turned out to be. Ego has been a stumbling block in the way of the progress of individuals, this time around, it was the stumbling block in the progress of
2 days ago by mardlifetv Children need more than food, clothing and shelter. They need at least one person who is crazy about them. - Fran Stott You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. - Plato Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. - Albert Einstein The measure of a man's character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. - Thomas Macaulay A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices. - William James The new life after
