PARENT - HOOD

Have you ever wondered what the hood behind the parent could mean?

Could it be the same hood as the covering attached to a piece of cloth, or could it refer to hood as we use it on the streets to mean our place of abode or our zone like we call it?

Yes it is both and even more. 

In times like this where it seems the government is so busy dealing with issues regarding economics and finances not t o talk about battling allegations of bribery, fraud, corruption to mention but a few the responsibility lies on the parent to cater for most of the needs of their children.

Whether single, married, divorced, widowed you are a parent and that is what matters right now. In times like this when the government has failed homes shouldn't fail to ensure that moral values are still being kept and adhered to by their children. Its not been easy is what most parents will give as response but will it be much more easier when your children have become prime suspects in murder cases, robbery cases and all sorts of abnormalities which they might be pressurized to fall into.

Take time off whatever you are doing and ask yourself the question; have i been a good parent all along?

Have you taken time to talk to your daughter about why she shouldn't dress in a certain manner,clothes that  are meant and not meant for certain places?

Have you taken time to hang out with the boys and see what foresight and guidance they have as regards making money and living large like every young man wants to?

Let the parents rise, grab the mantle of correction and set things straight from the homes before the kids get it all bent on the streets!

Redefining the 'WORLD' starts within the 'WALLS' of our homes or shall i say, our 'HOOD'!

THE HIND VIEW

Lets take a look at the profession from where it started. Then, we were more like mere taker-offs but today, Quantity Surveying has grown so much more that every other participant in the built industry seeks the service of a Q.S.
Now to the view, most graduates of the profession sometimes have doubts as to whether there is a job waiting for them out there in the field but i request that you look beyond just the taking off sheets and the SMM, the Quantity Surveyor has the chance and is equiped with all it takes to venture into other aspects of the industry.
 A good look at project management for example, most of the best in this field are Quantity Surveyors. The profession deals with much more than just the finance but even farther into dispute resolution,interpretation of contractual terms beyond the mere view of the language in which they have been written and the ability to relate with every professional in the industry.
Let the younger ones ponder, we could make the difference.
CHEERS!
