PREFACE
Since humans have existed on earth, they can testify to the power of words.
Humans can’t hide that how words are used reflect the answer they produce, for either good or bad.
Inappropriate or careless words have landed many in trouble.
Words can build and can destroy; hence we need to be careful when we speak, since there are good and bad words. The type of the words a person chooses will determine the outcome.
Inspirational words can motivate mankind to improve on their lifestyle, produce solution to some problems and can shape attitudes for the better, even for the best.
Examples abound from the quoted words of great leaders in politics, religion and education, including scholars such as Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Emerson, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Albert Einstein, Socrates, Confucius, etc. Even though they are dead, their words live. Their sayings continue to be source of motivation to people. That exemplifies the power in good words and the results.
65 SAYINGS INSPIRED
FROM MY NIGHT’S DREAM.
In this Book, I want to state truthfully that I am the original owner of these sayings. They are purely my ideas.
For the sake of better understanding, I’ve used some information, like definitions of some words, derived from an online resource. The link of the resource could be found on my reference source page in this book.
ORIGIN OF MY SAYINGS
These sayings were truly inspired from a midnight dream; hence I want to explain how these ideas came to me.
THE DREAM THAT RESULTED TO THE ORIGIN OF MY SAYING
The source of this saying could be traced to a midnight dream I had in 2003. In the dream, I found myself in a Classroom with empty chairs. I didn’t know which school it was, but the classroom look similar to the normal secondary classroom settings in Nigeria. While in the classroom, I saw a saying written on the chalkboard that reads:
A drug is a root that comes from money in such a level.
The saying was not attributed to anyone. I continue starring at that saying until I woke up.
When I woke up, I remembered the dream, and went for a pen to write down the saying.
I was curious to know the writer of the saying so, I Googled it online, but it didn’t show the writer. In addition, I haven’t been able to get the exact meaning of that saying on the chalkboard. Maybe whoever is reading this book, can know the meaning.
However, I observed that since the day I wrote the saying I read in my dream, I received more inspirational sayings.
These sayings started pouring into my mind. It was as if someone was silently uttering those statements to me. That turning point made me always carry a pen and a pocket notebook with me. Whenever I receive a saying, I would edit it or leave it as it is. Gradually, the saying increase day by day until I could complete these 65.
I am entirely confident that these are inspirations from the
Almighty God, who is the fountain of knowledge and wisdom. I had the feeling that even if God is not the writer of that saying, I believe His intention was to reveal inspiration to me through that writing on the chalkboard.
I believe the inspiration came so that I could reveal the ideas from the sayings to my fellow man. These sayings would be useful to me and other persons.
THE CHANGES THAT HAPPENED TO MY SAYINGS IN CHINA
Initially, the entire sayings were made of up 5 pages. Meanwhile, a new dimension happened to the sayings in Southwest Jiao tong University, Chengdu, China where I had my intensive Chinese Language study.
THE NEW DIMENSION
In the morning of a new day in 2009, I was having an Intensive Chinese Language class, when my course teacher,Wang Hai Ling, noticed the 5 sheets of paper containing my sayings on my desk. She noticed it was in English, and she asked what I’d written. I told her the papers contained the sayings I developed. She sought permission to have a look, which I granted.
After reading some of the sayings, she was surprised at the writing. She advised me to write the meaning of each of
