Your Name, A Key

What will be the first thing that trikes the mind when your name is mentioned? Think of it!

We sometimes think little things don't matter, as long as we are satisfying ourselves, feeding our ego and having our way, we are home and dry. who cares!
Get hurt, get played, get out and get lost are our theme for those who we intend to throw out of our way to score a point.

What strikes a person's mind when they see you today, can be same as what strikes their mind when they hear your name tomorrow.

A young innocent boy couldn't graduate with good grades, just because his father did something to someone years back, while he was still a lecturer. And as life would have it, that same person became his son's lecture latter in the future. *solve the puzzle

Some time in the 1980's, a top Manager in a particular organisation by name Mr John called in a young promising chap Joel to his office, showed Joel his promotion letter and tore the-same letter in both their presence.

He said to him: " Joel, you will never get a promotion."
Life again played out years down the line; Mr John the retiree got one of his sons a job at that same organisation. Mind you, Mr Joel is now a senior Staff and has the capacity to determine the future of any staff, as long as that organisation is concerned. *solve the puzzle.

Someone ones mentioned his name to another and the response was:

"I honestly wished I never knew that guy bears this name, talk less of knowing him to be a son to a wicked man." *solve the puzzle.
These are real life examples, no stories.

What effort are you making towards opening great and favorable doors with your name?
Your grandparents and your Parent have done their bid. You, do yours.
you can right the wrongs,
break a chain or
make a continuity of the legacy that your linage left behind, by your mode of interaction with those you come across in life. 

Let this consciousness be in you, that every single thing a man does will go a long way in determining how other people will see and treat him in return.

What effort are you making towards making a good name?

  • Are you building people
  • are you strengthening bonds
  • Creating and keeping good links?
OR 
  • busy hurting family members, colleagues and friends
  • betraying the trust of those who thinks they're safe with you,
  • creating enemies by your deeds?

Let those who bear similar name with you enjoy the benefit of sharing your name
The way you treat people and the things you do to them matters:
Hope you are considerate, understanding, loyal, fair, faithful, hope you are real and of a good character/ integrity because all these things and more will speak for you and yours sooner or later.

Once again I ask: Would other people benefit just from bearing same name with you? 

I was speaking with one of my mentors recently and he told me how his father-in-law made him understand life better. He made him realize that "the measurement of  a man's wealth is not in the number of buildings, or the digits in his Bank Account but by those who will be willing to stand with and for him when it matters."

Your NAME can become a key to open or shut any door.

Don't rub your name in the mud.
