You attract people that are your kind and mostly we admire people that looks like what we would like to become or have what we desire.

Personally I admire people that have stable and working business because that is what I value most.

I admire kind people that are rich because I grew up sorrounded by rich and successful people yet they were very mean and stingy.

I admire people in authority that are not driven by desire to get wealth and enrich themselves.

You note that after we have acquired wealth, education, wealth or status, we continue feel empty inside us and sometimes lonely especially when we caused suffering to people in our pursuit to acquire whatever we wanted to have.

Ladies and gentlemen, in a world often enamored by the glitz and glamour of wealth, intelligence, and beauty, it’s crucial to take a moment to reflect on what truly defines greatness. Today, I write yo you to celebrate not the achievements measured in material possessions or academic accolades, but the noble character traits that enrich our lives and uplift humanity.

We live in a time where educated minds and successful careers are highly revered. Yet, amidst this admiration, we often overlook the quiet strength of a peaceful mind and a calm spirit. These virtues, though subtle, possess immense power to navigate life’s storms with grace and resilience. Think of the individuals whose mere presence exudes serenity, whose unwavering composure inspires those around them to find solace in the midst of chaos.

Kindness and compassion, too often dismissed as mere niceties, are the cornerstones of a thriving society. It’s the small acts of kindness, the compassionate gestures extended to strangers, that weave the fabric of our interconnectedness. Let us not underestimate the profound impact of a compassionate heart, capable of healing wounds and bridging divides.

Humility and selflessness, virtues often overshadowed by ambition and self-promotion, are the hallmarks of true greatness. In a world that celebrates individualism, let us not forget the power of humility to foster genuine connections and the selflessness to uplift others without seeking recognition.

Love and moral uprightness serve as guiding lights in a world fraught with moral ambiguity. It’s the love that compels us to stand up for justice, the moral compass that steers us toward ethical choices even in the face of adversity. Let us honor those who lead with love and integrity, who remind us that true success is measured not by wealth amassed but by the lives touched and the values upheld.

As we reflect on the impact of these admirable character traits, let us reevaluate our own priorities and commitments. Let us strive not only for personal success but also for the enrichment of our communities and the betterment of humanity. For it is in cultivating these virtues that we unlock the true potential for greatness within ourselves and inspire others to do the same.

In closing, let us remember that true greatness is not found in the accumulation of accolades or wealth, but in the depth of our character and the impact we have on the lives of others.

The world cannot be made better by improved technology, artificial intelligence, stronger economies or whatever, but by embracing the original design of humanity that was engrossed with love, kindness, compassion, peaceful coexistence, honest and humility.

Let us celebrate and emulate these admirable traits, for they are the pillars upon which a brighter, more compassionate world is built.

In the fabric of society, leaders emerge as reflections of our collective identity, embodying our values, aspirations, and even our flaws. The individuals we choose to lead us wield power not as distant entities but as products of the very communities they serve. It’s a notion deeply ingrained in the democratic ethos: leaders are not imposed upon us but emerge from within our midst, carrying with them the ethos and values we collectively uphold.

At the heart of this argument lies the fundamental premise that leaders are not extraneous beings but rather individuals deeply rooted in the societal soil from which they spring. They are, in essence, one of us. This is evident in the democratic process itself, where leaders are elected by the people, from the people, and for the people. Whether it’s through ballots cast or voices raised, the ascent of a leader mirrors the collective will and character of a community.

The values and beliefs of a society find their expression in the leaders they elect. Consider, for instance, the platforms on which political candidates campaign. Their agendas, policies, and promises are often crafted to resonate with the prevailing sentiments of the electorate. Whether it’s advocating for social justice, economic prosperity, or national security, these platforms are shaped by the issues that matter most to the people they aim to represent.

Moreover, the backgrounds and experiences of leaders offer further insight into the societies from which they emerge. Leaders often rise from within specific social, cultural, or economic contexts, which inevitably shape their perspectives and priorities. A leader hailing from a working-class background may prioritize policies aimed at economic equity, while one with a military background may prioritize national defense. These diverse backgrounds enrich the leadership landscape, offering a mosaic of perspectives reflective of the broader societal tapestry.

But perhaps the most compelling evidence lies in the enduring influence leaders wield over the collective conscience. Their words, actions, and decisions reverberate throughout society, shaping norms, values, and attitudes. In this sense, leaders serve as both mirrors and architects of societal identity, shaping and reflecting the values we hold dear.

However, it’s crucial to acknowledge that the reflection isn’t always flattering. Just as leaders embody our virtues, they also reflect our vices. Instances of corruption, bigotry, and injustice perpetrated by leaders are not aberrations but manifestations of deeper societal malaises. These shortcomings serve as reminders of the work that remains to be done in building a more just, equitable, and compassionate society.

In essence, the leaders we elect are not alien entities imposed upon us but rather true representatives of who we are. Their values, beliefs, and priorities are deeply rooted in the communities they serve, reflecting the collective identity of the electorate. Whether for better or for worse, the leaders we choose are a testament to our shared values, aspirations, and ideals. As such, the responsibility to nurture and uphold these values rests not solely with our leaders but with each and every member of society. For in the end, the character of our leaders is but a reflection of the character of our society.

From today as you prepare to approach the ballot paper, kindly ask yourself this questions?

• what are my values?
• what are my philosophies?
• what are my fundamental believe system?
• what can i die for?
• what do i strongly stand for?
• what do i do when am met with crises?
• Have ever been tempted by evil of corruption or immorality?
• do i hold steadfast integrity amidst crises or i will compromise to deliver myself from hard situations?
• what are my priorities? myself or common good?
• In a position of privileges and power, do i mind more about my children or children of the society?
• what drives me?
• what do i imagine when am alone?

The way you answer all the above questions determines what kind of leader you will choose because we are always attracted by what we are.

We may claim to be master of our own destiny and that we chat our way, but the truth is that our lives are dictated by circumstances around us. For example our parents have great impact on what becomes of our lives. Where we are born, the school we attend , government that rule our nation, our history, our religion, philosophy held by our people and our source of income can determine in large extent what we direction we follow in life.

And the social function you attend determine what kind of people you meet what in return determines your inner, middle and outer circle of friends. Again what we find ourself doing was determined by what school we attended and what course we took and that dictated who influenced our lives and that was something that depended so much on our parents not us.

Most people’s lives are characterized by a mix of routine, relationships, work, and personal pursuits. Here are some common elements:

Work or Career

For many, a significant portion of life revolves around employment or building a career. This includes activities like going to work, meetings, projects, and professional development.

When we find ourself in a given employment, we will always scheduling our live activities around that job because any other thing we want to do that is not work related will be determining by whether we are free from our daily work or not. When we are invited to go somewhere in a social function, we must check our schedule and see if our boss will be requiring us at work, or there is possibility of us getting a leave. So what we found ourselves doing for a living will determine how our live goes.

Family and Relationships

The people in our lives influences the directions we take in life. Family and relationships play a central role in most people’s lives. The people we hang around gives us ideas, inspire us or influence us in one way or another. If we hang around for sometimes around anybody, whoever they are, whatever they say we get into our mind and influence our thinking which can cause us to make certain decisions. Our lives are also a product of decisions we make. This includes time spent with immediate and extended family, friends, romantic partners, and colleagues and if we live with noble people, we are really blessed. Some people had stayed with relatives that damaged them emotionally or physically for example by raping them or physically abusing them and that caused them to live a life of bitterness, anger, resentment and fear which determines what cause of life they have taken. Some that grew in abusive marriages vowed never to marry. Some made decisions because they were inspired by their teachers or elder people.

There is an old saying that says that you are an average of five people that are around you.

Routine and Responsibilities

When we have bills to pay, our mind focus in that and we may find ourselves having difficulties giving attention to something else when we are unable to pay our bills. All our efforts focuses on the bare minimum opportunity that can help us foot our bills. Daily routines and responsibilities such as household chores, paying bills, and running errands are integral parts of life for many people.

Until you are desperate and very broke, never say you can never do this or that because to a hungry person , every food is sweat and to a thirsty soul, even dirty water is better than none.

Personal Growth and Hobbies

Pursuits that contribute to personal growth and fulfillment, such as hobbies, interests, learning new skills, or self-improvement activities, are important to many individuals.

Health and Well-being

When you are sick nothing else matters, the things admired or wanted by health people are insignificant infront of a sick person. What we consider as delicacies when not sick is the same thing we abhor when we are not feeling well. A sick person will most often seek those things that will make them feel better, they will therefore not driven by ambitions, wants ,ego, needs of affection and admiration or anything else that guides the instincts of a normal person.

Maintaining physical, mental, and emotional well-being is essential for a fulfilling life. This includes activities like exercise, self-care practices, hobbies that promote relaxation, and seeking medical care when needed.

Want for pleasure

Human beings are always in pursuit of happiness. We are always seeking to feel a gap in our soul and so anything we perceive as having capability of filling our souls with goodness, we will pursue. This comes to bring things like our passions, our hobbies and our interests.That is why most of the things we engage in or do, we often some self interests in it. Human beings are basically selfish creatures and will not engage or do something without some elements of self interest in the thing.Most of people will help you because they want to feel good about themselves, avoid feeling guilt from not helping, to look appealing to society etc. That is where we have religion that comes to convince us to do good to others so that it will be done back to us in equal measures. In this regard, religion tries to convince us that there is some self interests in whatever we are doing to others

Time spent on leisure activities and recreation varies for individuals but often includes entertainment, travel, sports, hobbies, or simply relaxing and unwinding.

Community and Social Engagement

Most often, we find ourselves diverting from our normal routines in order to engage in community welfare. We stop our activities to help others, console them in bereavements, attend their functions like wedding or party etc. If we keep ignoring others when they need us, one day we will need them and we may suffer if they don’t come through for us. In that regard society dictates our lives because it is through social interactions that some gifts have been realized like comedies, singing, good orators and the likes.Many people find meaning and fulfillment through involvement in their communities, volunteering, activism, or participating in social events and gatherings.

Challenges and Adversities

If we find ourselves in a war prone areas or in countries that have high security threats like Israel, the circumstances dictates that we must become an army personnel by virtual of challenges that faces where we are born, whether it is within our interests or not. In traditional societies, all men were trained as warriors to protect women and children from invasions from other communities that sought to spoil them. Countries that enjoys peace have their men share same duties and responsibilities as women and career choices dictated by economic needs rather than natural abilities. Life inevitably involves facing challenges and adversities, whether they are related to personal relationships, health, finances, or other areas. Overcoming these challenges often contributes to personal growth and resilience.

Christmas is celebrated on December 25 and is both a sacred religious holiday and a worldwide cultural and commercial phenomenon.

The celebration of Christmas as the birth of Jesus Christ emerged in the early Christian Church in the 4th century. The date of December 25th was chosen to coincide with existing pagan festivals, possibly to facilitate the conversion of pagan populations to Christianity.

Christmas is often liked for a variety of reasons, many of which are deeply ingrained in cultural and personal traditions:

Spirit of Giving

Christmas is associated with the tradition of giving gifts.

Festive Atmosphere

Christmas has a long history The holiday season is marked by colorful decorations, twinkling lights, and festive music, which can create a sense of warmth and excitement.

Traditions

The end of December was a perfect time for celebration in most areas of Europe. At that time of year, most cattle were slaughtered so they would not have to be fed during the winter. For many, it was the only time of year when they had a supply of fresh meat. In addition, most wine and beer made during the year was finally fermented and ready for drinking.

In Germany, people honored the pagan god Oden during the mid-winter holiday. Germans were terrified of Oden, as they believed he made nocturnal flights through the sky to observe his people, and then decide who would prosper or perish. Because of his presence, many people chose to stay inside.

From decorating Christmas trees to hanging stockings by the fireplace, Christmas is rich in traditions that can evoke nostalgia and a sense of continuity across generations.

Spiritual Significance

In the fourth century, church officials decided to institute the birth of Jesus as a holiday. Unfortunately, the Bible does not mention date for his birth. Although some evidence suggests that his birth may have occurred in the spring , Pope Julius I chose December 25. It is commonly believed that the church chose this date in an effort to adopt and absorb the traditions of the pagan Saturnalia festival. First called the Feast of the Nativity, the custom spread to Egypt by 432 and to England by the end of the sixth century.For those who celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday, it holds deep spiritual significance as the commemoration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Community Engagement

For most Germans the one colourful tradition is the Christmas market. Beginning mostly in late November in almost every city, town or village in Germany Christmas markets will pop up on the local square and often in several other locations with beautifully decorated stalls, entertainment and all kinds of delicious foods like Glühwein (mulled wine) & roasted chestnuts. The lively markets are definitely a reason to come and get a taste of Christmas in Europe.

Christmas Eve is the main day where presents are exchanged. Traditionally, a small meal like potato salad with small sausages or carp are served before the opening of gifts. Christmas Day is celebrated with huge banquets. Traditional Christmas dishes consist of plump roast goose or duck, “Christstollen” , Lebkuchen , marzipan, and Dresden Stollen .Christmas often involves community events such as caroling, charity drives, and volunteering, fostering a sense of unity and compassion.
