The affirmation syndrome.

By

Do you believe in affirmation? Have you come across situations or instances were things happened base on affirmation?

Firstly, let me share a real life situation about two brothers. 

Samuel and Patrick are brothers of the same mother and father. They both grew up in the same  home, same community and they both attended the same school. Their community is highly perceived as toxic and struggle for survival is something else.

Most of the people you can look up to as motivation are just below average.

Samuel at his age 22,  has been able to discovered his real self of knowing what he wanted in life. He then started working harder day in day out, despite of his community he grew up were people celebrate average success. Few years down the line he was fortunate to get a scholarship to study in any university of his choice. However, he didn't move out from the the country  to further his studies. What he did was to select one of the colleges he could find around. 

He chooses IPAM four years down the line he has come out to be a successful graduate with distinction. He immediately secure a well paid job from one of the mining companies. Just three years of his work he was able to do tangible things that people in his community wouldn't  have ever dreamt of it possibility.  

One the other  hand, Patrick was not successful because of his perception of his community, were negative perceptions come to live. He then perceived his situation and concluded that no matter what I do, my  development within this community will just be below average. His belief position him very well by  settle for less.  

Affirmation is that belief people perceived on pass situations and circumstances to happen no matter what work they do.

I'm of the belief that our words can build us or destroy us. When you living in a toxic society, one things I want you to avoid is to stop following crowd opinions. In many instances, they can be of destruction rather than remedy's.

It is possible to grow up in toxic community and be  successful. It only left with you to be decisive on how you take decision. 

Wise up. Focus. Work hard. Believe.

The rise of pyramid schemes in Sierra Leone has become a concern.

By
The rise of pyramid schemes in Sierra Leone has become a concern.  In recent years, the rise of pyramid schemes has become a concerning phenomenon that has affected individuals, communities, and even entire economies. Pyramid schemes, also known as Ponzi schemes, promise quick and substantial financial gains to participants but ultimately result in significant financial losses for the majority of participants involved. At their core, pyramid schemes operate on a deceptive business model that relies on recruiting new participants to generate profits, rather than selling genuine products or providing legitimate services. The initial participants, often referred to as "founders" or "early adopters," are enticed by the promise of high returns on their investments or membership fees. They are encouraged to recruit others into the scheme, who in turn recruit more participants, forming a hierarchical structure resembling a pyramid. The allure of pyramid schemes lies in the...
