Shortcuts are your greatest undoing because you shortchange yourself and rob yourself of rewards that you are supposed to reap if you held on to the end as you are stretched thin.

If you cannot enjoy the process, the proceeds will be affected negatively because the values to help you maintain sustainability and retention of growth will be absent at the end of the chain.

Endurance will remain a virtue till the end of man's time in this space. If it were to be enjoyed, perhaps it would have come by another name. We cannot separate endurance from patience and sacrifice.

These are all tenets of wisdom to those who are willing and able to pay the price of enduring growth and accomplishments. Price must precede prize.

These things are all wired together. One virtue supports and leads to another one. If you rationalise and cut a corner in one area, you would have to pay for it elsewhere. There is always a link.

Nothing goes without a recompense because everything is a part of everything. As you ponder on this, let your mentality be fuelled and enriched by the issues of the moment.

Be not hasty about the things you do not understand. Don't claim authority in an area of ignorance. Exercise caution and wait.

Waiting is a game won only by the wise. In this, strength is renewed; and we become loaded with extra energy to not only run but fly where those who failed to wait faint.

You will be the better for it at the other end of the rope. It's a trying time and everyone is being tried and tested.

Endure through and earn for yourself the experience of true victory earned in uncommon waters.

To everything there is a time and a season to every purpose on earth. This holds true in every situation, and even in this.

Warm regards to you for whom this is meant. See you on the other side of the Covid-19 Fence.

"Mr Joseph Ayeni's book is a well researched compendium that addresses several, but salient subjects that can significantly enhance human dignity, success and fulfilment."
