VALUE

VALUE

Value is not just an english word to be used trivially, it is something we should be associated with, it is a word that should describe who we are, and what we have to offer, being a person of value should be our dream. Value is not about price tags, it is about quality; it is not about pleasure, popularity, or self aggrandisement, it is about impact.

You gain or lose value by the kind of association you keep. When you associate with people of higher value, you gain and increase in value, but when you associate with people of low, or no value, you will surely reduce or lose value. The true value of a person is not how you feel around that person, it is how you feel when the person is absent.

The absence of some people brings peace and respite, and their presence bring troubles. Like Fela Durotoye would say, some people are an 'Oh God' people, while some persons are a 'thank God' person, which category do you belong? Would your arrival make people thank God, or make them complain to God?

Make your presence and your absence felt, it is the true sign of valuable persons. You don't become valuable by being successful, you become successful by being valuable. The value you create bring you success. Being valuable is not in the length of your days, but in the effect of your days. Strive to be a person of VALUE.
