NOTES FROM THE NSAWAM STREET: Forgotten Laws of Saving Money in Ghana

Image
FOURTH article of the series “NOTES FROM THE NSAWAM STREET”, paying tribute to my childhood hood and reflecting on the past and today we looking at savings , Reflecting upon this topic,Reminds me of an an awesome vacation period  somewhere last year, I asked  my Grandpa a simple question and the question was " How do I become rich ?" he smiled and said " I got to think about the important but forgotten laws of saving money. Because these are the same laws of saving that allowed us to save up for our wedding fund. These laws are actually common sense but seem to have been forgotten by most people – so they never get to save money. Once you know these principles, these laws of saving money, it will be very easy for YOU to save money as well and become rich", he smiled at me and gave me some old pamphlet to read and this is what I learnt from the pamphlet, I’m sure you’re getting excited, so lets get started: Law #1: Remember the Reason WHY ...

Third article of the series “NOTES FROM THE NSAWAM STREET”  I was having a chat with a great friend tonight ( time was around 23:20 at Mampong Akuapem) and I found our conversation greatly cool enough to be added to the  NOTES FROM THE NSAWAM STREET. Its figurative for the four pillars of every man.As narrated by friend below; "What about my fourth wife being family and friends. My third wealth and status  My second being my wisdom, knowledge and intellect. Then my 1st wife being my good deed.   All Man, every man has these four wives.  Friends and family we love and cherish, lavishing on them all the goodies we have. But in death, they shall desert us.  Our wealth and status, the most lovely of wives whom we always desire to show off. In our dressing, speech, manners and association with others we do not stop to flaunt her telling the world, how much we love her. Oh what a romantic man we become with her, constant show and public disp...

NOTES FROM THE NSAWAM STREET: DIVIDED PASSIONS

Image
Second article of the series “NOTES FROM THE NSAWAM STREET” this series of articles is about having flashbacks and using them positively, I remember we use to go to 7 times a week instead of the normal 5 times which is 5 days, my school was called “nsawam university”, I loved my school, Nana Osae Djan School was and is a good school by all standards we were going to school as if schooling was a cult and a religion we practiced just because my friends and I thought school was all, forgetting that school was not  education. Education is the process of facilitating learning and inspiring our minds not filling our heads and pouring it on exams sheets and not following our passion but certificates! This article is not about the system, I don’t have to write about it for us to know there is problem with our system, this article is   about passion, dividing it for your own good.  Yes, we can divide our passion “You have to be burning with an idea, or a problem, ...

Notes from the Nsawam Street: The Pain of Time

Image
Starting a new series called "Notes from the Nsawam Street", I have no reason, I think I just love my Childhood days in Nsawam. The experience was remarkable and great in a very rare form that science could not capture, I loved it and much more I stumbled into it I felt I should have a flashback on it anytime, since its impact is intangible. I have been spending a lot of time these days thinking about my past and future and how things have gone so far with me in life, and I realized sometimes we overlook some things and we end up struggling in life as a result. And one Prominent thing is TIME I read it somewhere that the only thing we have as young people right now in life is the time for us and I thought the person was kind of joking until I experienced it. This statement is true and we cannot overlook it. You can’t Cheat Time . God created the sun and the moon for us so that us entities on earth we can have time or else we would end up wasting our life on ea...
