Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 2155136

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 440345

Hope is a good breakfast but a bad dinner, it has been said, but in Ghana, we have deteriorated to the point of having hope as dessert after dinner. We don't plan anything and the future just seems to happen to us, without our input. All we seem to do is to just show up. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 957162

Don't under-rate the scope of your influence in your youth. Don't think you have all the time to make a difference in this world. Recognize that both brown and green leaves fall to the ground. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 241162

Many of us don't dream; more dangerously, many of us don't spend quality time thinking. We worry, yes, but we do not think. We don't project ourselves into the future. We don't utilize imagination. For many who do dream, what is lacking is the translation of the dream into reality and the tenacity to hold on to the dream when the going gets tough. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 462972

Loss taught me about the frailty and transient nature of man. It taught me humility. It taught me about the urgency of service, of touching lives, of mentoring, of legacy. Of making hay while there is still sunshine and life. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 380831

Having the courage to speak one's mind is as important as knowing when the time is right to do so. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 1347576

Be controlled from the inside of you. Be controlled by your standards. Be motivated by your decisions. Have high standards of behaviour that ride over the negative noise of others. Laugh with those who laugh, mourn with those who mourn, but don't mourn when you don't want to, and laugh at those who laugh at you if you want to. Determine not to be a photo-sensor that brightens the lights only when people are nice to you. — Nana Awere Damoah

Marry someone whose nonsense you can tolerate. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 1396380

When all you know is how to use a hammer, you think hitting should solve every problem. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 1457536

Be less generous with your advice: live it instead. It is a bad situation when someone with a coughing fit attempts to sell a cough mixture. After all, action speaks far louder than words; living the example is the best advice you can ever give. Only examples have children. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 1497944

Nkrumah declared that we faced neither East nor West but we faced forward. But, see, we can face forward and just look at the horizon. Sometimes, as I think of Ghana, I am tempted to believe that we kept looking East and West and never made up our minds, so we just stood still. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 1504251

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 2186012

Social media has helped make the world flatter and reduced the degrees of separation, leading to the situation where many can interact with people who, but for this platform, they may never have had the privilege to meet or speak with. That is the opportunity social media brings.

But it does come with responsibilities. Not to take this opportunity for granted and not to throw decorum to the dogs. The line between virtual and real life is getting thinner and is lately made of morning dew.

Manners matter on social media. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 1567656

Oral tradition is practised in most African cultures: ideals, family histories and legacies are handed down from one generation to the other physically or verbally. However, this system is flawed in the sense that a lot of African innovation, experience and culture have been lost, undocumented. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 2080305

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 2054064

A worker sent a form for salary advance to his manager who refused to sign it based on the reason given. The manager said the situation the worker had stated as an emergency wasn't plausible.

"It is not an emergency," the boss insisted, "you had a nine-month notice. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 1888644

Many of us are reactive, not proactive. We react. We hit back. We are 'an eye for an eye' practitioners. We attack when we are attacked, with good measure. Our barometer reads from the environment and makes us act accordingly. We are mirrors who reflect the anger in others, the bad attitude in the other person, the negative comments of others. Let me show you a higher level of living. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 2234513

Words are cheap but they gain greater worth when they first minister to the speaker of the same. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 225050

Looking around today, I see a lot of young people who act as if they have all the time in the world, and older persons who think this attitude is alright. It is unfortunate that there are young citizens who still believe life begins at forty and that life before forty is non-scoring, and older citizens who still insist that unless you are old, you have nothing to offer, equating age with wisdom. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 272174

Marry someone who can grow with you and who can allow you to grow. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 366419

Young men and women are causing wealth loss to their generation because they are sitting on inert ideas, bottled-up potential energy and scratching the ground when they should be gliding the skies and perambulating with the stars. These people are so disillusioned they live life without any urgency. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 405895

Loss taught me. Loss taught me that death comes to both the old and the young. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 556243

I grew up in an environment where the onus of raising a child was not on the parents alone but of the entire community. The logic is in that a child who becomes a burden or an armed robber becomes a threat not only to the parents but to a whole society! — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 846204

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 873735

Our mental blocks are more formidable than the physical ones. Bob Marley said it when he asked us to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery. You first think what you become. The physical starts from the mental and the spiritual. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 1073388

A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains." Dutch proverb — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 1129023

Don't wait till you have grey hair before you believe people will take you seriously because scientifically, grey hair is a sign of old age and not necessarily of wisdom. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 1144869

We love to quote the saying "Rome was not built in a day" but we fail to remember that Rome was eventually built, and it must have been so magnificent that when people admired it, they were told that it didn't happen in just a day. The question, then, is: if Rome was not built in a day, how was it built? Answer: It was built every day. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 1197600

Ghana will not be built in a day. But it should be built every day and the body that houses the eyes reading this owns the hands that will ensure this. — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 1232073

Are we really ready to hear views without forming opinions about people? I write to reach a wide spectrum of people. Will my political views alienate many who are here or bring more here? Can my friends here see my views either for or against the government or opposition as views of an independent-minded person? — Nana Awere Damoah

Nana Awere Damoah Quotes 1251871

Loss taught me the value of tears. Just as the rains come down to wash away debris and dust, tears unleashed can bring relief. — Nana Awere Damoah
