Who needs more discipline?The female child or the male child?

On a lighter mode.
Who got more firm and disciplined upbringing?
The boy child or the girl child?


Growing up as a girl child was amidst strong words and lots of discipline."You are a girl" "You need to learn values"was like a ringing tone for my siblings and l(five girls). I remember those days when my mum was on us like the way ants surrounds sugar.(laughing)We had no breathing space.
She was always at every nooks and crannies waiting for you to  make one silly mistake and you are in for lots of beatings or yabis according to the level of your silliness.
Chai! Those times was not funny at all  ooh . I remember those days we used to  have siblings meetings to decide whether our parents were actually our biological ones.
(imagine ooh we couldn't understand the reasons for such disciplines)
Teens age was the worst of all.Our routine was just school and back home.We were programmed and you have to follow it religiously.There was no room for visitations to friends and you can imagine any day one of us was unlucky to be sent on errands,once you step out of the house just know that a spy is stalking your movements.(**winks my mum hmmm Laughing)and unfortunately for you,you  met one of your classmate on the way who is a male and you decided to exchange pleasantries Chai!!!you and that boy go know that day..... .......
I remember when we started assisting to sell in my mum's shop.All those admirers who had no opportunity to chat with us saw this as a great opportunity to interact with my sisters and l, so we were selling at a high rate.Trust naija guys they were ready to buy even things they don't need just to talk to us. Hmmm !!!little did we know that some of our co-shop owners were loosing customers and wanted a way of retrieving their customers back. They reported to my parents.
The day my mum met some of our regular customers Ahhh!!!. ......it's another story for another day. ....
It was when I got into higher institution and started interacting with other girls that l realised it wasn't only my mum that was harsh and it wasn't only my sisters and l that had the disciplined up bringing. It was almost every girl child had it.

Most times when I remember those days I usually roll with laughter because I have come to appreciate my parents for such upbringing.
Likewise I also wonder why the male child wasn't treated the way the girl child is being treated.
And so I ask these questions anytime I discuss this issue with friends.
Who needs more discipline while growing up
The male child or the female child?
And ls it necessary to be firm on the girl child for proper upbringing nowadays?

Handwritings on papers.

Where are my handwritten words?

 When was the last time you wrote a letter or jot your thoughts down on a paper?

 Long long time ago l guess. Remember back in those days we used to write letters and jot down our thoughts and activities. It was fun and a means of showing ones skills at conveying one's thoughts through writing.
 Remember those times we learned every spellings,knew almost every meanings to words and loved to show off our new handwriting.
 I remember a naughty friend of mine who was always ready to make circles on your grammatical blunders and call you names of those blunders you have spelt for days. (Laughing)what fun we had and it made us better. Oooh!
what excitement we had when expecting a letter and it finally arrived after days of delay.
l used to know an Aunty who kept most letters she had and lamented it for memories. Hmmm! you wonder.

 "It was a bond between couples then because they had a challenge of composing more romantic poems than the former one written and in painstakingly handwritings to impress your loved ones "said an older friend of mine.

 Our hands,fingers worked and our brains was challenged because we had no check spell to correct the mistakes we make.

 Phones and Laptops are exciting to use and less stress on our fingers but our handwritings on papers was more chanlleging,original and more personal for me.

My impact of lately

Isn't it amazing just some few weeks ago we were still in the year 2014 hanging down our unwanted characters, listing out for new watch word and in his mercies we are in the month of February....SURPRISE
 Tick tick says the clock and we'll soon be winding the year up.
Ah! we exclamate We wonder at our top achievements.
 Have we thought about a new dimension to our yearly achievements?
How was our daily activities with others?
What has been our impact on people's lives? Have people maintained relationship with us or stay apart due to our horrible attitudes?
And the list is endless. ......
Taking account of our impact in someone's life is important. It doesn't have to be monetary.
 Just kind words to lift up a sad heart is an achievement.

 I guess my impact on people's lives should be my watch word lately.

 What’s your watch word lately?
 Looking forward to your contributions. Let's get talking.

Change is contagious....Pass it on

It can be frustrating and stressful for managers of an organisation when they dream of seeing changes in their organisation and discover that they are the only driving force for a change in their organisation.
Change is a constant thing in life.It usher in new innovations and makes our organisations grow.
For a manager of an organisation to win the confidence of co-workers and have a joint driving force for a positive impact in the organisation.The manager must be convinced of the changes first,act the changes and be able to sell the new ideas to co-workers.
A lot of workers don't feel comfortable when new techniques is spring up suddenly and that is why it has to be done with almost every workers support and understanding.
