GRANDMAs

Grand mothers,they are a blessing if you have them, like the scripture says, the white hair is there glory, am sure every lady will want to be one someday.Why did i decide to write about them, i feel if we are all like them, the world will be a better place. So what is so wonderful about them, that A man called "Sugata mitra",  built an educational platform around them, it was "a school in the cloud" this same platform brought this man the "2013 TED PRIZE" award. I hope you know TED talk, if you don't, you need to google it and follow it. So if this platform was successful, then, there is something we all need to learn from our Grandmas.
I met my grandma very few times before she passed away,one thing i noticed about her, is her love for her family, how she wants to see them grow and unite, she will defend her family with  her last breath, what a wonderful woman.Am sure if you had one, you will know they love and support, But what caught my attention is not all have mentioned above, it is there words of encouragement when you are doing the most stupid thing on earth or the most beautiful thing.
They will encourage you anyways, either its great or stupid, not good or bad, because they will spank you if you do that,at least mine will do, so they do make corrections.But am talking about me saying "i want to be a singer",we all know that is so, so, so, STUPID! because i have the worst voice on earth, i don't even know how to sing on a key, but they have a magical way of finding the good in the most stupid thing.It all about there words of encouragement because they can see the good in every situation.The SCHOOL IN THE CLOUD, has Grandmas as the teachers of the platform.They more or less know nothing about what the student is learning, all they know is speak English to them, but they are there acting like they know, encouraging the student to study better and asking questions they don't even know the answer but the success rate of the student is so high that the platform is making wave. I started writing poem sometimes ago, and i remember some of my friends encouraged me, Especially "Ndifreke George, Linda Obodo and Funmilayo Abiodun", but the best friend i had then,who was special, felt i was stupid and just wasting my time doing that,she thrashed it and i was demoralized. I had an idea someday and visited a boss to see how i can pursue it, he sounded discouraging to me and that was the end of it. Now there is a platform built around similar idea. What is my point? we need to learn to encourage someone each day, we need to see good in every situation by shutting out all the bad until we find one good thing. There is a Grandma in every one who encourages, there is great wisdom in such person.As Jesus was known for encouragement too, He encouraged the woman caught in adultery, He never condemned her." Thanks a lot. Bro Biodun Micheal and Bro Segun Odusoga for your words of encouragement on this blog, There is a Grandma in you, and you will be a Grand pa someday.Encourage someone everyday!.... God bless all our Grandmothers and Grandpas that gave birth to our wonderful parents.
