Few days ago I celebrated my birthday, precisely on the 21st of june 2008, you cannot be a better friend, I thank God for your life and everyone around you. i posted a blog yestaerday on my blog talking about the pathetic situation of our young boys and girls on the street of Lagos. Nigeria.Prostitution, destitution, robbery, gangsterism, drug abuse and all the societal vices that is taking thier destinies away from them. I know something can be done by concerned individuals and organisations since our government, security agencies and even the church as failed in this direction. Jesus came to give life and to give it more abundantly. He came that the lost might be found. what can we do to take them away from the street ma, what can we do to take them away from the hotels, what can we do to take them away from their hide outs and give them the hope of the future. please you can leave your comment on my blog and please visit my blog on http://polygoncomputers.blogspot.com

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Lincoln’s Letter to his Son’s Teacher
He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just, all men are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero; that for every selfish Politician, there is a dedicated leader… Teach him for every enemy there is a friend,
Steer him away from envy, if you can, teach him the secret of quiet laughter.
Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest to lick… Teach him, if you can, the wonder of books… But also give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky, bees in the sun, and the flowers on a green hillside.
In the school teach him it is far honourable to fail than to cheat… Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong… Teach him to be gentle with gentle people, and tough with the tough.
Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the band wagon… Teach him to listen to all men… but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth, and take only the good that comes through.
Teach him if you can, how to laugh when he is sad… Teach him there is no shame in tears, Teach him to scoff at cynics and to beware of too much sweetness… Teach him to sell his brawn and brain to the highest bidders but never to put a price-tag on his heart and soul.
Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he’s right. Treat him gently, but do not cuddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel.
Let him have the courage to be impatient… let him have the patience to be brave. Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself, because then he will have sublime faith in mankind.
This is a big order, but see what you can do… He is such a fine little fellow, my son!

MONEY HABITS
INTRODUCTION
The rich and the poor live together. What creates a difference between the rich and the poor? Is it there gender? Is it the colour of their skin? Is it their age? Is it the country they live in? is it educational qualification? Is it their birthright? Is it luck? Is it inheritance? The list is endless. I believe the answer will be found in this book you are holding in your hands. The major difference between the rich and the poor is in the habit they develop.
Your habits will either make you rich or make you poor. Nobody was born rich, neither was any born poor, but the patterns of their life will be shaped by the habits they chose.
