Intro
I know everyone has a right
to his/her opinion or perspective, but I have a feeling that I’m not the only
one who has observed the unprecedented transformation our world has gone (and
is still going) through. Things have changed so much that even the blind can
see a whole new World. The advent of bigger
and faster air planes, development
of advanced communication systems, proliferation
of social networking and a new
generation of smart phones; these
and more tell us that we cannot maintain the status quo ante. The world is
moving forward and my dear ladies, you cannot afford to be left behind.
My new book “Winning Ways for Wise Women” was
written to motivate every lady to rise and take her place in the forefront.
Every woman can be productive and exceptional. Every woman can be phenomenal.
Here is a short extract from
the book:
You are too smart to be ordinary
The ideology of what we call
“Woman” has changed significantly in the 21st century. There is a
paradigm shift and the world has evolved and grown beyond the old-fashioned
pattern of life. It has its good and bad sides, but on a balance of
probabilities one should say there are advantages that we should consider great
gain. In those archaic days women thought themselves to be home keepers only
and a woman who is able to take care of the home front is considered to have
achieved something enormous. Some may say the old mentality was imposed on
women by some chauvinistic people and system; well, let us not argue that but
celebrate the accomplishments so far.
These days, the woman’s place
is not just in the home- the kitchen or bedroom, it is much more. Women now
play a vast array of roles in board rooms, politics, schools, hospitals,
mission field, ministries and many other areas. A woman can be a wife and still
be a student, work to support her family, lead a local church, run a business,
be a mother to her children and still be effective in her marital
responsibilities to her husband (if you know what I mean). Any woman, who must
succeed in this fast paced age, must find a way to balance between all these
without complaining or getting agitated about being overworked. As a matter of
fact, in recent times there are few women who are not involved in at least four
of the above. It is not an easy feat, but what exactly is easy these days!?
Stand out
Since things have changed, it
therefore becomes critical for you as a woman to change with the times; not to
the negative but to become progressive and take your place at the centre stage.
This requires a change of mentality. No one puts new wine in an old wine skin;
so also, no one can survive and achieve anything meaningful in this new age
with an old-school mentality. This is not a call to conform to worldly
standards, but a challenge to rise beyond traditional values and do what you
have to do to leave your footprint in the sands of time. But you cannot do this
without a renewed attitude and deliberate effort to rise and act; “You can’t
leave footprints in the sands of time if you’re sitting on your butt. And who
wants to leave buttprints in the sand of time?” -Anonymous. You must
aggressively challenge yourself to be a multi-dimensional woman, whose
lifestyle redefines acceptable standard for the women folks.
Questions and comments are welcome.
Welcome back Coach! The book (Winning Ways for Wise Women) comes highly recommended. Apart from getting motivated I felt really challenged as i read through especially when you spoke about Esther; her preparation, qualification and her role in saving Israel. Made me think through how i’ve lived my life and what i can do now to better position myself for opportunities with God and man. In my opinion every woman should read it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Casio. I am glad the book is achieving its purpose-to motivate and challenge women to become phenomenal.
DeleteYes, by God's Grace we can be this 31 proverb woman.
ReplyDeleteI have the book and I must say you really know how to challenge your readers. Thanks for the wonderful insight, I have a question. You look really young on your picture now don't get me wrong; I know God gives wisdom to those who ask, but quite honestly your writing sound like a much older man. How did you learn so much about women at your age?
ReplyDeleteYour comment made me smile. Thanks. I believe my introduction to the book probably sheds light to your question.
DeleteThank you again!
