Resolve to Keep Your Resolutions
“Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots?” This is the pointed rhetorical question asked by the prophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 13: 23. He poses this question to make the point that no more can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots than can people who are accustomed to doing evil change themselves and start doing good instead. This was primarily applied to Judah, but is instructive to unravelling the plight of human beings in general.

The way it is proven is also something to marvel at too, since it comes directly out of complex analysis. The ‘Art’ is as admirable as the fine literary piece ‘A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever’ by John Keats,

Spring Evangelism Weekend to inspire University Family
The University adopts the philosophy that, "True education means more than the pursual of a certain course of study. It means more than a preparation for the life that now is. It has to do with the whole being and with the whole period of existence possible to man. It is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual powers. It prepares the student for the joy of service in this world and for the higher joy of wider service in the world to come."

Create SMART goals
Repetition deepens impression - it is often said - ‘but too much causes confusion.’ Within the world of sports, fanatics and pundits alike will stress that goals win matches. You may too have heard the cliché – ‘if you fail to plan than you plan to fail.’ But I'm sure you have heard the word "goal" more often than you can remember. You have heard this term used in hockey, soccer, and football. You've heard it used in national programs and policies, fund raising, politics, and even in peace keeping missions. This concept though may not just remain in the realms of sports and culture, but find usefulness in the lifespan of an individual.
