I still get confused over the concept of passion in relations to money. If I consider Maslow’s Law, my conscience will not permit me to advise a fresh graduate in Nigeria without a job to follow his passion; his passion at this time is different from what we generally regard to as passion. I guess […]
The easiest way to detect that your love is waxing cold towards your partner is tolerance; tolerance is simply going against your inner desire. It is actually worse than “hate” because in the case of “hate”; you have resolved your feelings towards your partner. It’s either you are hot or cold; white or black or […]
I really don’t enjoy driving at night and somehow I guess most people share my sentiment because according to a literature1, only 10% of road miles are driven in the dark and the strange part is that 48% of road fatalities occur at night: If fewer people use the road at night and approximately half […]
Wow! I hope you guys have not missed me much because I have been totally engaged with one thing or the other since I got to China and I have not had the energy to update my blog. China has also banned facebook, youtube and the likes so I will posting my personal pics. Whenever, […]

In reality, the kind of gift you give says a lot about the way you feel […]
For the past week, I have been getting calls and emails from guys who want more out of life rather than the 8-6, Mon-Fri, work cycle; I could detect frustration and hopelessness in their voice viz-a-viz the emails. I have been in this position several times in my life while in paid employment and most […]
The above picture is a snap shot of the “Ice 4 Days” Seminar that held on Saturday, 10th of April and my first statement during the presentation may have led me to this article; My name is Dipo Tepede; I am a regular guy like all of you and I appreciate your taking your time […]
Someone once asked me what I enjoyed doing and the first thought that came to me was passing across exciting information that would empower those who need it. I do this through various creative mediums like writing, teaching and I hope to produce films some days. I am so passionate about this that I could […]
It’s unlike moi to watch the Oscars late but this year, I was a week late; it was glamorous and fun as usual but a statement made by one of the Oscar recipient struck me – the winner of the best supporting actress in the female category, Monique, in her superb role in the movie; […]
The most fascinating book I have ever read is the bible – not because of its vast array of stories which are educative but its promises which appears to conflict with our realities. In proverbs 23: 17-18, it reads; “Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all […]
