ARE YOU INFORMED?

By Emeka Anyaogu

I was listening to a radio programme one day and I heard the presenter says: “He who is not informed is deformed”. My friends, have you heard? Are you informed? What is the percentage of your information gathering?

Information is life. The different between great men an ordinary people is the level of their information gathering. Study the life of great achievers; you will realize that they have one thing in common. They hunger and thirst for information. Take for example Bill Gates, the man who is said to be the richest man in the entire world for several years. He was a student of the prestigious Harvard University. While he was there he committed his allowance to buying computer books and magazines. Thanks to his investment in information! When he dropped out of Harvard he became a phenomenon in the world of computer software. What about Mark Zeckerberg, the creator of facebook? It was his zeal to create a platform where information could be exchange between fellows student at Harvard that made him a billionaire at 25. He had to drop out of Harvard to pursue his vision when he realized how well information could sell.
Have you seen how important information is? Are you now prepared to avail yourself the necessary information tools to change your course in life? Get informed! He who is not informed is deformed. Whatever you are today - be you a student, a business person, an employee, a brick layer or a writer, source for information. You can do this by reading newspapers, books, magazines, watching television and listening to radio programmes that will help broaden your mind on relevant issues, and above all take advantage of internet. The internet is the information super highway, the easiest and fastest way to source for information. Just a click will take you to information super market.

Thanks to the advent of GSM in our country. You don’t need to go to a cyber café before you can access the internet. If you have a wap enabled phone (most camera phones are wap enabled), you need to activate it with your network provider so that it will serve as your information gateway. With it you can google anything on the net, access your facebook account and get the latest happenings among your friends fold.

The Youth Ministries have created a group called Pinnacle Youth on facebook. That is where you can get the latest information about the activities of the youth ministries. If you are on facebook and have not joined that group, you are missing a lot. Better go and hook up, a lot of things are happening there! There are other groups from the church that you can also join, such as AG Connect, Youth Alive, Law of Success, etc. You will be doing yourself a whole lot of good if you join these groups because powerful stuffs are being posted there.

We in the Praise Family know the relevance of information in the present age that is why we are publishing this news letter. We want to be using it as a medium to pass information across to you. You can send us feed back anytime. Remain blessed.
