Quotes help us inspire, motivate, clarify, and show our approach to things around; this is why people and I love quotes.

Takyou Allah Cheikh Malaynine’s words effectively express the essence of human fascination with quotes. In her book My Thoughts in Quotes, Ibukun Awosika presents a series of personal reflections rich in wisdom, carefully organised into different aspects of life that we encounter every day: marriage, money, business, family, faith, leadership, and many more. This book is not just meant for casual reading; it contains a wealth of transformative information waiting to be discovered, assimilated and applied.

Awosika’s preface draws you into her world of introspection and personal experiences. She compares quotes to mustard seeds and emphasises their capacity to grow into strong, wise trees. This is a very prevalent perspective in the modern world, where the brevity and precision of quotes allow them to have a powerful impact, especially in the digital age where things change swiftly. Quotes possess the exceptional ability to effect significant change, often with just a few words. Awosika describes My Thoughts in Quotes as a compilation of her ideas and life experiences, a personal guide to overcoming adversities and finding wisdom in the small things in life.

What distinguishes My Thoughts in Quotes from other quote collections is the way Awosika categorises her quotes, with each section concentrating on various aspects of life. For instance, in the marriage section, she provides detailed and practical advice based on her personal views on relationships. The quotes are not only for newlyweds or those going through difficult times in their marriage; they are valuable lessons for anyone who values meaningful relationships. The section on money covers prudent economics and the principle of wealth generation. Awosika, with her background as an experienced entrepreneur and leader, offers quotes that demonstrate her vast knowledge of business and finance.

One of the most enriching sections in My Thoughts in Quotes is the one that addresses gender equality and female empowerment. Awosika has always had a strong passion for women’s rights advocacy, and her quotes in this section reflect her desire to see more women assume leadership and business roles. It makes us realise that creating environments that support women’s growth on all fronts—personally and professionally—is just as important to women’s empowerment as shattering stereotypes. The section also contains a wealth of suggestions for young women searching for a role model.

There are other inspiring sections in My Thoughts in Quotes for everyone, especially young professionals, seasoned entrepreneurs, or anyone simply seeking inspiration. The book is a journey into the mind of one of Nigeria’s most influential women and it offers timeless wisdom that can guide you through life’s challenges. The clarity and simplicity of Awosika’s writing make the book accessible to readers of all ages, and the depth of her thoughts guarantees that you will return to the book again and again.
