NAUGHTY or NICE




It is often said " What was said is not as important as the way it was said".  In the same light, I can safely say "The combination of letters is not as important as the arrangement"

I recall vividly back in early nursery/primary days, the teacher would scramble words together and ask that we re-arrange them. Then, that was something fun till i saw the below.

Read and try to laugh....

                                  

                                    DORMITORY:
                        When you rearrange the letters:
                                   DIRTY ROOM

                                      PRESBYTERIAN:
                        When you rearrange the letters:
                                   BEST IN PRAYER

ASTRONOMER:
When you rearrange the letters:

DESPERATION:
When you rearrange the letters:

THE EYES:

When you rearrange the letters:

When you rearrange the letters:
HE BUGS GORE

THE MORSE CODE:
When you rearrange the letters:

SLOT MACHINES:
When you rearrange the letters:

ANIMOSITY:
When you rearrange the letters:

ELECTION RESULTS:
When you rearrange the letters:

INCREDIBLY YOUNG TALENTS



In the office today, while creating a Risk Register for a cross-cultural, multi-phased project that involves implementation of several mission-critical systems deployment  I am currently managing, I got a little bored and decided to check the social media (something i seldom do). To see if Toke's husband has impregnated another lady, if Ben Murray Bruce has fought vehemently in the Senate against the 100 Billion naira wardrobe allowance (Ok, I over-exaggerated. It's actually 8.64 billion naira) , if Linda Ikeji is now engaged, if Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is now Minister of Finance, if Wande Coal has gone back to Don Jazzy, if D'Banj has finally released a hit single since after the split with Don Jazzy or any of those weird things you see on social media lately

I opened my Gmail, and since google is creating a global village where just with one account, you can access google doc, Gmail, YouTube and google plus, i located the YouTube link and straight up i saw a link to an amazing episode of Ellen's show.

My attention was drawn to the Kids' section and there i came across these young talent...

Remember the bible says "The gift of a man maketh room for him....."

Please see these amazing videos below.



This boy



And this duo



Morals:

Whatever you child/children want(s) to do, please encourage and support them once you can convince yourself that it is morally right....


My Resolution:

While I and Odunola will try as much as possible to train and encourage Stacey to develop likeness and love for books and reading, We will also help to nurture other talents and skills she might have.




SECOND FIRST INTRO.



So, while i worked in a company that produces TV shows such as Who Wants To be A Millionaire Nigeria, Who Wants To be Rich Ghana, MTN Project Fame West Africa and other TV programmes, I wrote a brief intro about myself. Please see below in italics

"Ok, This is my first shot at blogging and hopefully it will be a great and interesting adventure for me.
Lemme quickly intro myself.
My name is Bola Adesope, i was born on the 23rd of June, 198X(Ofcourse you were not expecting me to spill my year of birth like that.)
I grew up in Lagos, went to the great and prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University where i studied Electronic & Electrical Engineering. Still in career journey, I have few IT Certifications such as MCTS,CCNA,MCSE just to mention a few.
I work with an entertainment company in Lagos.
I am passionate about project management( And just so that you know, i am PMP certified)
I offer training and consultancy on Project Management.
Lemme stop here and come back when i am fully and mentally prepared and ready to write.
See you soon guys.
Bola Adesope,PMP"






But less than four years after, I am back to the blog, Except this time, the about intro has changed 50%. Dont worry, I am still Bola Adesope (I haven't changed my first or last name. Although my friend and brother Taiwo has changed his last name. Yeah, he is a guy and he changed his last name few weeks after he got married. No, not to the wife's last name but something entirely different. So, while his wife Wura was processing change of name, the husband too was doing same).

I have since moved from that company to two other companies, changed my career from Information Technology to Management Consulting (with bias in Project Management, Business Strategy/Analysis and Process Improvement/Business Process Design).

I have added about few more international certification (PMP, PRINCE2, ITIL, BAP, SSYB, SFC, CSSBB).

I have started corporate and public training, with a group of intelligent guys, i run, alongside my 9-5, a company called Value Breed Consulting (www.valuebreed.com) offering Training and Consulting services to individuals and Businesses.

I am married to the beautiful, intelligent and spiritual Odunola

I am not just a husband now, I am a proud Daddy. I have a very very CUTE and beautiful daughter named Stacey....


I guess a lot has changed since the last time i wrote, and i guess that is a good thing.

But what i have achieved is nothing compared to what i still want to achieve, All i can do is continue to improve. Remember KAIZEN!!!
