MaureenWHEN THE BULLY BECOMES THE BULLIED!๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐!
I remember many years ago as far back as my primary school days, I used to have a very young boy then (now grown up today) who used to intimidate me with his huge stature and afterwards bullied me with some beatings of my life whenever I crossed path with him.
For no reason, he would always slap my face and made away with it.
Most at times, whenever I see him coming from afar, I would ensure he didn't catch a glimpse of me.
On rare occasions, he wouldn't see me and the other times, he would and then pounced on me like an hungry lion.
This continued for years until one fateful night aft...

Ordinarily, I planned for a maximum of one hour but ended up spending less time which left my audience in a state of euphoria, wondering if I was just starting.
Guess what! ๐ฒ
Inspites I've been writing for years, that was actually my first live appearance on stage and the level of excellence spoke volume.
Alright, come with me, let me show you something.

I arrived the city of Uyo on Thursday night at exactly 11.30pm, beaming with high hopes and expectations from the world class BEWA Africa's conference held over the weekend.
As planned, my intention was to rest through the early hours of Friday, so I could get charged up for the task ahead at the volunteers meeting by 3pm.
While I was yet having an awesome moment of rest from the previous day's journey, my friend (the amiable and impeccable lady) who offered me her shelter for safety beckoned on me to wake up and get dressed...

MaureenTHE GROWTH SYSTEM!๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐!
Growth is an irreversible constant development experienced by an individual or a brand.
Growth is a systematic difference in stages.
Growth is productivity.
Growth means attaining a level of excellence at what you do.
Growth is improvement.
It means transforming into a new reality of advancement.
Growth is not static and it is a continuous ball game for you who want to remain relevant in the global world.

The beauty of growth is, you may not be all you want to be.
But you will never be who you used to be.

Few weeks back, I visited a federal relaxation park somewhere in the heart of Lagos for the purpose of studying and listening to a virtual paid training.
I wanted somewhere quiet and peaceful where the flow of assimilation and inspiration will hit me so hard.
Of course, I don't like studying or doing my thing in a noisy environment and so I made a fast move.
On getting there, the calm atmosphere that welcomed me in, made me exclaim in wonder.
This is it! Yes, this is what I ever wanted. I muttered to myself.
And so...

Sometime ago, I got engaged in a clarity session with one of my students who shared her pain with me.
She said and I quote,
"Ma'am, I have passion for writing but whenever I picked up my pen to put down words on the screen, I get stuck on what to write.
Also, I am confused on how to construct words.
Oftentimes, whenever I attempt writing something on my status, there's always that one person who criticizes my written works and I'll be like, oh gosh! Not again. In fact, I get upset whenever such...

So, you might want to ask, who am I?
I'm one who preaches the destiny sermon of _DO IT NOW_ and _ACT NOW_ .
As the year is gradually wrapping off, what extra work are you putting in place to end on good note?
Or are you in the league of those saying,
"Hanty Maureen, wait first, there's still time, I'll do it later?"
I smile at you in Chinese.๐

Consistency is the process of being consistent at whatever you set out to do.
It is an act of staying committed to your passion without losing focus on the set goal.
It means practicing an act overtime to become better without giving up halfway.
Consistency could also mean marrying your goals, aspiration and vision with so much enthusiasm and passion.
It's a drive that pushes you to become better than your former without losing sight on the goal ahead.

In our present world and with the massive advancement of technology, you will strongly agree with me that learning can take place anywhere. Irrespective of the distance involved.
Moreso, it must not necessarily be in the confines of a classroom before we can acquire knowledge.
All that matters is the consumption of value emanating from the rightful source.
Therefore, based on the knowledge gathered so far in my writing career, I've been able to categorize places of learning into the following categories:
