05UndatedMany of us are reactive, not proactive. We react. We hit back. We are ‘an eye for an eye’ practitioners. We attack when we are attacked, with good measure. Our barometer reads from the environment and makes us act accordingly. We are mirrors who reflect the anger in others, the bad attitude in the other person, the negative comments of others. Let me show you a higher level of living.Nana Awere Damoah / quote ↗
06UndatedWhen the future you see is worse than the present, one begins to worry. And, oh, I speak of Ghanaian politicians. The tadpoles are out-jumping the toads.Nana Awere Damoah / quote ↗
07UndatedBe less generous with your advice: live it instead. It is a bad situation when someone with a coughing fit attempts to sell a cough mixture.

08UndatedWords are cheap but they gain greater worth when they first minister to the speaker of the same.Nana Awere Damoah / quote ↗
09UndatedIt is more blessed to give than to receive”, the Bible advocates.

17UndatedLooking around today, I see a lot of young people who act as if they have all the time in the world, and older persons who think this attitude is alright.

18UndatedThe youth. The youth of Africa. The youth of this world. Are we harnessing the potential of the youth enough? Are the young ones… giving off their best to the continent, the nation, the universe that is giving us so much? Why do we think we can only contribute something after age forty? Are we not causing wealth loss to our generation?Nana Awere Damoah / quote ↗
19UndatedYoung men and women are causing wealth loss to their generation because they are sitting on inert ideas, bottled-up potential energy and scratching the ground when they should be gliding the skies and perambulating with the stars. These people are so disillusioned they live life without any urgency.Nana Awere Damoah / quote ↗
20UndatedDon’t under-rate the scope of your influence in your youth. Don’t think you have all the time to make a difference in this world. Recognize that both brown and green leaves fall to the ground.Nana Awere Damoah / quote ↗
21UndatedDon’t wait till you have grey hair before you believe people will take you seriously because scientifically, grey hair is a sign of old age and not necessarily of wisdom.Nana Awere Damoah / quote ↗
22UndatedWe love to quote the saying “Rome was not built in a day” but we fail to remember that Rome was eventually built, and it must have been so magnificent that when people admired it, they were told that it didn’t happen in just a day. The question, then, is: if Rome was not built in a day, how was it built? Answer: It was built every day.Nana Awere Damoah / quote ↗
23UndatedOur beliefs about our abilities and the capabilities we have are usually the limiting reactants in the chain reaction of our lives.Nana Awere Damoah / quote ↗
