FICTION - STORYTELLING - "YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW YOU TURN OUT"



Once upon a time, in a bustling village nestled between rolling hills, there lived a young woman named Laila. Laila was born into a humble family, where her parents toiled daily to provide for their children. Growing up, she watched others her age dream big, but many allowed their circumstances to dictate their futures. They often blamed fate or misfortune when things didn’t go as planned.

THE LEAP:

Laila, however, believed differently. From a young age, she understood that life was a series of choices. She didn’t have control over where she was born or the challenges she faced, but she knew she could choose how to respond to them. Instead of lamenting her humble beginnings, Laila focused on the small actions she could take each day. She studied hard, sought out mentors, and learned from every experience, good or bad.

THE PAY OFF:

As she grew older, her efforts paid off. Laila became a respected leader in her community, known for her wisdom and resilience. Many came to her for advice, wondering how she had risen above the hardships they all shared. With a warm smile, Laila would always say, "You are responsible for how you turn out. It’s not where you start but the choices you make along the way."

THE LESSON:

Laila's life was a testament to the power of perseverance and responsibility. She became living proof that, no matter the odds, we all have the ability to shape our own destinies.

SEPTEMBER SPECIAL...

Its 3.39am and a very tired Funmi is woken by the thought of children crying repeatedly (seriously, continuous cry is killing) but am gonna help tell the story (my business you know). How does a well fed kid cry in the morning? takes a bath, haves a nap, wakes in tears, has another meal, plays a short while, resumes crying, sleeps again for a shorter while than done in the morning, wakes in tears again, refuses food and expects to be carried while standing all night... who does that??? My fascination? they never seem to have headaches as the routine for some of them is stable. For real, do they have to cry so hard to get anything? arrrrrrgh! (Images withheld cause you don't wanna see what I found on research) ...oops! Have I welcomed you to the month of September? Aii, Happy new month. Its gonna be a great month. Ciao...

RECOVERING FROM A COMMUNICATION BLUNDER

In the fast-paced world of corporate communication, mistakes can happen every  now and then.  Have you ever been in a situation  when a seemingly minor oversight quickly spirals into a full-blown crisis? For instance, during a major a event, a press release was sent out prematurely, containing incorrect information about a key speaker. The media caught on, and within hours, your establishment was facing a whirlwind of inquiries. The error wasn’t just embarrassing; it threatened the credibility you had painstakingly built. The first step is to acknowledge the mistake, both internally and publicly. Rather than making excuses, then issue a swift retraction, coupled with an apology to stakeholders and the media. Transparency should become your shield. Also follow up with a corrected release and contact key journalists to ensure the accurate information is disseminated. Behind the scene, analyze how the error occurred, and implement stronger checks to prevent futur...
