My Hero......Mahatma Gandhi


The sound of your name ignites fire in my bones
How can a mere man like me live with such high standards?
In my years on this planet (apart from my Lord Jesus), I have not met any man so great.
The anthology of your writings changed my life forever.


You placed demands on your life that I haven’t heard of in my existence.
Your theme of truth and non-violence, of love and self sacrifice, of common good........
You walked your talk 100%, Oh what height of Integrity!
In your imperfections you still tried to remain true to yourself & your God
Your focus was on things that mattered on this side of the planet…the essentials…sound principles!


I have never wished I met any ‘hero’ like I wish I met you
You are truly my Hero!
Heard of great men but none like you
Oh the power of the inner voice and self sacrifice….


I surely cannot put it better than Dr Martin Luther King Jnr
“Gandhi was inevitable. If humanity is to progress, Gandhi is inescapable……We may ignore him at our own risk”
and Albert Einstein
“Generations to come, it may be, will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth”


May we all truly live our lives knowing we did all we could to add utmost value to our world
One man, Gandhi…….One man, Funmi
I don’t believe in praying for the dead but I cannot but say even though they are mere words;

“ God Bless Mahatma Gandhi”

……………humility at its peak, simplicity at its best!

Emotional Wahala…….

Emotion left on her own will depreciate someday While alive and in flames it seems as if you’ll be consumed if you don’t express her or the other party doesn’t react in the desired direction. She can bear many children ranging from flings to crushes to outright obsession and sometimes Love. Emotion on her own is healthy and she keeps the engine of relationships running. The kind we speak of in this note is when she ain’t mutual (or seemingly so). Emotion in this context: a state where your blood literally jumps out of your veins at the mention or sight of anything that concerneth the igniting party. Where you wait by your phone literally praying that a call comes in or you refresh your inbox like a gazillion times expecting an unsent message. Truth is, we have no control over these emotions; we don’t solicit for her birth. She just comes upon us suddenly. The only way out is managing her by putting her where she belongs. Oh yes there are solutions even if...

the complete package

This principle states that in accepting the strengths of a person we should equally accept the related weaknesses. It indicates that every man that has a strength would also have a weakness that is likely closely related to the strength. A person who is very meticulous and detailed will most likely be petty & 'naggy' One who is easy going, playful and easily forgiving will most likely be carefree and laid back A sanguine sanguine who is usually very charismatic and eloquent may be a bad listener and the list goes on and on. So if you like the sanguine, manage the not-so-perfect listener. If you like the the meticulous and organisation freak, manage the petty nag  If you like the peaceful, nice and easy going person, manage the not soo detailed part.   ...............because its usually a Complete Package.
