The little things that matter series-Ep3: Words

How often do you talk to people and what kind of impact do your words leave on them?

This is one thing that people hardly ever seem to take note of, simply because the society doesn't have time anymore caring about what's being said, everyone is only caring about what's trending not caring about how the other party feels about it.
A persons word can either impact negatively or positively, this is were a blunt person tends to have issues because he\she says it the way they feel it; to them it may not be a problem cause they've let it out and that's fine but those words you've said has it actually done its job of correction or it has just made the person feel bad about him\her self.



 Words influence others and build relationships at work and personally. They can tear down relationships. Simply put, language holds massive, colossal power to manifest change, whether it’s good or bad. 
Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, considered to be one of the most Stoic philosophers who ever lived, said: “Perform every act in life as though it were your last.”
We can take this a step further and say: “Speak every word you say in life as though it were your last.” ( this are words taken from google)


Words go a long way in the mind of an individual, it is one of the things causing depression in our society today, it's not just about social media. Today people are afraid to engage in a conversation because they don't want to be silenced or laughed at, unfortunately that's the world we find ourselves today. You never know who is waiting to hear a little word of encouragement, a word to make a person smile or even laugh, a compliment to make a person think good about himself.

TIP:  SAY A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO SOMEONE

Horsemen, Kings, and Councilmen: Inside the Mighty OYO Empire.

The Oyo Empire: West Africa’s Forgotten Powerhouse When people talk about African empires, names like Mali and Songhai often take the spotlight. But tucked away in the history of what is now southwestern Nigeria lies the story of the Oyo Empire — a once-mighty Yoruba kingdom that ruled for centuries and shaped the region in ways that still echo today. Let’s dive into the fascinating world of Oyo and discover what made this empire one of West Africa’s great powers. A Kingdom Born of Legend According to Yoruba tradition, the Oyo Empire was founded by Oranyan , a descendant of Oduduwa , the mythical father of the Yoruba people. The empire began to take shape in the 14th century, growing from a modest city-state into a formidable force thanks to its strategic location in the open savannah — a perfect spot for farming, trade, and, perhaps most importantly, cavalry warfare. Politics Done Right (or at Least Balanced) One of the coolest things about Oyo was its political system. At th...
