  LIVE YOUR DREAM! In your heart of hearts lies a dominant dream A dream you wish could flow out of you like a stream A dream that will spice your life with sweetness like ice cream A dream that will bring you bliss till you scream A dream that you simply wish could come true in reams But sometimes life's twists and turns can burn you like steam It can stress you till you lose your gleam It can even make you turn off your rays of beam But such is life so you must not give up on your whims Keep that big dream alive and get a trustworthy team Find a reason that inspires you to go through the seasons and live Come hail, come storm, your best you must always give Get informed, never go through life being perpetually naive Ignorance can eat you up and make you languish in grieve Get transformed, learn a bit of all new things;at least in brief Your dreams will not die, you just work in believe Work hard with discipline and you shall have success and relieve

Meet Gamel Sankarl, The Ghanaian Writer Nominated for the BEFFTA UK Awards 2014 When a 13 year old Junior high School boy picked up a book and started reading, he was so captivated by the story that he promised himself that someday he will write a book that good. But it was more dramatic circumstances that made him actually write his first book. Like many teenagers, this boy had a crush on a sweet girl. They grew up together as friends and developed feelings for each other as time passed. The lady was first to notice this feeling and she did all she could but this guy did not make a move. The night the naive young boy finally found the  courage to propose to the lady, years had passed and he was too late. She was dating somebody else and the boy was left heartbroken ! So what does a devasted young man do when he is heartbroken ? He writes his pain away. That night, this shattered boy started pouring his pain on paper and by sunrise, he had produced a  chapter

Better Is Better. Book Review 2

For most books, you stop reading the moment you read the first page but not with Better Is Better , I felt there was something in it for me which I have to find, and that urged me on to keep reading. I felt the message was really meant for me and to be honest I will just sum up this piece in two words; ‘Sensationally Inspirational’. My favourite chapter was chapter three (3); A trusted team makes the dream work. Teaming up with others is something as Africans we do not really like to do. We do not like teamwork; everyone wants to do their own thing and be on their own and this is honestly slowing down our development. Maybe in future, you should consider writing a book in that regard, the need for teamwork and partnerships. You have done a good job on this book, and everyone will fall in love with it when they come across it. I also love your Love for God and the fact that you acknowledge that we need Him to succeed. Well done, Gamel. Kudos! Emmanuel Azu-Mate, GHBase.Com

Better Is Better! - Book Review

Check this out; A review Jonathan did for 'Better Is Better' The average human will rather settle for a life of mediocrity than challenge themselves to live beyond a certain set standard. Most often, people live in mundanity and mediocrity because of a lack of knowledge of their talent, and effective time management. As such, they settle for just anything and live life as it comes. Gamel, a man who can best be described as one who’s lived the principles he’s shared in this book has carefully weaved one’s quest for talent discovery, and effectively utilising their time to live a life of excellence. In the book, “Better is Better”, he challenges the reader to take a hard look at their lives and ask themselves probing questions if they really deserve what they presently have. Better is Better is for the ambitious man and woman out there who are frustrated, and have absolutely no clue as to what life holds in store for them. The book is carefully written in sim

ASPIRE TO ACQUIRE THAT DESIRE

As you take off into the second half of 2014, I wish to inspire you with this Poetivation: ASPIRE TO ACQUIRE THAT DESIRE Life is worth living when there’s something to acquire Something significant enough to make you relentlessly aspire Wishes don’t make riches but a compelling desire The stuff that makes us to be in a strong dire To fight even when all seem gloomy and we feel very tired All the achievers we see around us and admire Had to make an unwavering decision not to retire They enlisted every essential material they would require And brought on board all the allies and artifacts they could hire So they could lay hold on that which they so passionately desire You can do same if you have a reason to inspire People have gone ahead of you and you can always inquire With the insights from them, you will get kicked by some spark of fire To propel you to be steadfast even when in the process you perspire Take some of the criticisms and make them your satire And s

MY THOUGHTS ON LEADERSHIP .

MY THOUGHTS ON LEADERSHIP . Leadership in my opinion has more to do with taking charge of your life primarily and being in charge of others secondarily. A true leader is one who has exemplified himself in his personal affairs. One who has made his life worth emulating by taking charge of his abilities and turning them into opportunities that make his life better as well as that of those around him. Leadership is first a responsibility; thus, responding/reacting with your ability to the issues of life and making reasonable results out of them. Leadership as the name depicts is built on two fundamental branches, which to me are; leader and ship. Thus, Leadership = leader + ship. To lead therefore implies you need a ship and the ship in this sense encompasses your potentials (abilities, knowledge, skills) and the people (family and friends) around you. You are first the leader of your own life before that of others. And so if you can adequately put yourself in chec
