Feelings about trust
28th of July, 2022
Let me get started by defining trust in a practical aspect;
When we take a seat on a comfortable chair, there's a moment where we stop supporting our weight and we allow ourselves to be rest assured and fall free when seating on the chair. At that moment, we are in absolute trust that the chair will catch and hold us, and what we are feeling presently is peace.
Imagine if we were to seat on a chair that we mistrust, we would probably hold onto the arms of the chair and slowly sit down on it and slowly sit down on it. And after sitting, we would stay ready to support support our weight just in case it collapsed. It would probably take us time to finally result the chair. But once we did, we would stop worrying about it and we would be at peace with it.
***So, trust is the feeling of peace.***
It's so prevalent in our lives that most of us have convinced ourselves that it's hard for us to trust when in reality we trust all the time. We have trust that the phone we're carrying isn't going to catch on fire or the building we enter isn't going to collapse. If we're lucky enough to live in a modem city, we would trust that when we turn on the lights, they will turn on or that we will have running hot and cold waters in our homes.
When we go for a drive, we trust the car we are driving, all the other cars, drivers we're driving with and the roads that we are driving on. But, if we see a car behaving strangely, we pay attention to that car because we mistrust it at that moment. That feeling of mistrust will be so strong that we will remember the one car we mistrusted and forget about all the other thousand of cars that we did trust.
Also, like a single black dot on a white background paper sheet, the contrast will be so great that the dot is gonna the "**subject of the formula**" i.e we pay close attention to the black dot. It's the contrast that will make us believe our feelings of mistrust are so strong, even if it might only be equivalent to a small black dot.
Yeah, it's so common and normal for us to trust when something causes us to mistrust. It can be traumatizing at times. This contrast can mislead us into believing that the feeling of trust must be equally as powerful as the feelings of mistrust, and since when we can't feel the power of trust, we conclude that it's because we can't trust or find it difficult to trust. But this isn't to discount our feelings of mistrust, we might have very valid reasons why we do that, but to believe we can't trust or find it difficult to trust isn't true. More importantly, the only way to resolve our feelings of mistrust is through trust because without it, we can never be at peace.
Trust is a powerful constant attribute in our lives and we shouldn't artificially disconnect from it. It allows us to admire the sunset, trusting that another day will come and sleep at night, trusting that we will wake up the next day.
****Conclusion****;
*****Trust is the feeling of peace and by acknowledging it and allowing ourselves to feel it, we can learn to expand and cultivate it as an habit.*****
Let me pause for a while. Trust we learnt something new today from the little piece of article of mine. Don't forget to share to others too.

It will all make sense, it's just a matter of time.
***When you're in pain, you see everything with a phase of sadness.***
You discovered that things doesn't make sense anymore all of a sudden. They tend to get harder more and more and you began to have many thoughts in your head. As the memories hit your head harder, you begin to fall dipper and even though it seems like everything is different, nothing has really changed. With happiness gone, you tend to go back to your normal means of survival that makes you unhappy and scared.
Pain dances at the fingertips of change. It slowly creeps in. We know something is different but we don't realize that something is changing. It's only when we look back that we realize the difference between then and now. We don't know that the moments we have just lived define us. We don't know that the moments we are just living are the ones we will miss one day. Maybe this is what it means to grow up because as we grow up, things will always keep changing and it will always be associated with pain.
*Maybe you asked for roses but instead, you got thorns.*
*Maybe you wanted paper, but what you got was a torn one.*
*Maybe you wanted joy, but what you got was despair or disappointment.*
You don't get what you want, but you always get what you need.
Sometimes, good things fall apart just to create space for better things to come together. Every story surely has an end, but every end gives birth to a new beginning.
**Why you have to wait,**
**Why you have to let go,**
**Why you have to fall and crash,**
**Why no matter what you do, it will never be enough,**
**Why some things need to come to an end,**
**Why you have to go through what you've always been through.**
One day, it will all make sense and you will realize it happens for a particular reason. The night when you shed tears like a stream of water crashing onto a sharp edged rock will also happen to be the same night that will make you a wiser person. Those nights would be the one to teach you not to settle for anything less that you deserve.
One day, you will realize that you need to be grateful to all the people that let you go so that you could find that one person who wouldn't. That pain will be the reason why you will fight back for your happiness, for a better life, for answers and for other things that you never dared to ask them before.
One day, you will be thankful for the things that didn't work out because when you're old, sipping a cup of coffee in your wheelchair, you will realize that everything that you've been through leads you to where you were meant to be and with the exact person you were meant to be with. That it was pain that made humbled you and made you a better person. You will feel pain, you will lose, you will make mistakes but, somehow, someday, it will definitely make sense. When it does, you will be completely different from that time you were in trying to figure things out. The pieces might make sense but they will no longer make the same meaning when you really needed to understand them. That "someday" might not be today or tomorrow and that "somehow" might not be the way you would want it to be. However, it will still come.
You will begin to see life without the phases of sadness again. It won't be hard forever because nothing is forever. Somehow, life will start seeming more beautiful than you can remember. The world proves to us everyday that happiness exists all around us and we just have to make sure that we do not blind ourselves with our own steps and decisions.
**Though, it might look like autumn right now, but spring will surely come and life will find a way for you.**
**Give yourself some time, because it will all make sense. It's just a matter of time and your relentless efforts.**
Let me know your thoughts down below in the comments section if you find this article interesting and helpful. I'm sure we've learnt something new today.
Thanks for reading. See you all next time.
Choose your company (people you walk with) wisely.
You become who you surround yourself with.
Energies are contagious, so are your habits too. Everything and everyone in your environment eventually becomes you. You are like a mirror that reflects whatever you put around yourself.
As kids, our parents always tell us to choose our friends wisely. They would associate our behaviour based on how they perceive our friends. As judgemental as it may sound, there's a certain truth behind it I want us to acknowledge;
***If you're friends with criminals, you not only running the risk of getting on the wrong side of the law, but as you get familiar with them, you begin to feel that they live a more normal life. Your morals diverts totally in the wrong direction because you seem to believe their activities isn't as bad as they used to be.***
If you're friends with people who complain a lot or those who have a negative outlook on life, it would be hard for you to remain positive around them.
If you're friends with people who make everything dramatic, it would be hard for you to find your own peace around them.
If you're friends with liars, you will unknowingly spill out lies when things go out of control because this is the escape techniques you've learnt from your friends by watching them do it.
The people you surround yourself with will mould and shape who you are. This is positive growth. The only chance you have here is to choose and filter your friends. You get used to their behaviour, attitude and habits so much that it shows an impact on you. The dream in your heart may be bigger than the environment you find yourself, which is why you sometimes you need to evacuate that environment to see that big dream of yours come to fulfilment.
One simple way to acknowledge the kind of people you're surrounded with is by asking yourself these questions;
*Who are the ambitious people in my friend circle?*
*Who are the doers and problem solvers in my circle?*
*Who's on a similar journey as me?*
*Who inspires me and bring the best of out of me?*
*Who provides genuine feedback?*
*And lastly, who's smarter than me??? Always give room for corrections because nobody is perfect.*
The answers to the above questions will help us to figure out the kind of friendship circle we get ourselves evolved into. I'm not saying we should hate the people we love because they fall into a category influential or motivational. You can love them but keep them just one step away from your influential group. You should make this balance by striking your table.
So, choose your company wisely. Your direction in life may depend on it and while you're at it, have the courage to be a good friend for those who choose you to be in their top family.
So, as I come to the end of the article, I want us to ask ourselves again;
**Who are those set of people you admire and spend most of our precious time with?**
We should all have answers to that.
Thanks for passing by to read. See y'all in my next article. Until then, bye for now.
Stop making irrelevant excuses today!!!

We all want choose and want to be the best version of ourselves today, yet it's so hard for many of us to stay consistent and push ourselves.
All of us want to eat healthy foods, do some exercises, start that business, travel around the world, but yet, we still sit on our couch every day and night watching TV, eating delicious, meals and complaining how terrible out lives are.
I've done this too in my life and I still do it some days. We shouldn't be making use of our average day to complain about how our life sucks and then staying home and doing nothing. I also want us to stop this idea that things will come to us if we complain about them. Nothing comes to you without some hard work. You can assume things, but you need to put the plan in action, and that doesn't mean it will be easy and take no hard work. There will be days where even doing fun activities will be hard work, but it's about showing up and doing the hard work becomes easier and you get to live the life you want.
I have spent many days of my life now thinking I was working hard at my childhood back then, just for me to start enjoying life, but I don't think I have even scratched the surface of my hand work. I know i can catch up later and get my goals accomplished. I'm done letting my mind give me these awfully excuses like it's too early to go for a run. The internet is so saturated for my ideas because nobody is going to watch or read what I have put there. I'm tired of giving myself all these excuses that leave me on the couch in my parent's house having nothing to do and stressing my life away.
I believe anybody can do anything they put their mind into. I think we can all stop making excuses or reasons that may wreck our lives. We need to start thinking long-term for our goals and life instead of taking the short-term satisfaction. That ice cream or cigarette might feel or taste good now, but in ten to twenty years to come now, when you have lung cancer and get reduced in weight, you will think about all the decisions you made that got you there.
When you get to the end of your life, I don't want to hear about all the things you could have done. I only want to hear about the things you've accomplished. All of the goals that you've wanted to get done and can say you made the happen. I want to hear everyone say things like "I changed people's life".
I hope this helps someone to realize that life will not wait for you to be ready. It will continue to move past you as if you weren't there. You need to take advantage of every moment that you have now because there will be not be a perfect chance that will give you a perfect opportunity to accomplish your goals. Take advantage of what you were given, and if you do not like your circumstances, change them for better.
**Stop sabotaging or destroying your life.**
**Work for the life you want.**
**And get rid of irrelevant excuses.**
Thanks for reading!!!
I would be glad if we all can take to this piece of advice of mine. See you guys later.
The fear of failure.
Date: July 18, 2022
Monday, 12:08 pm
Why do people lack the courage to fail???
I know failing feels terrible. It's embarrassing, demoralizing and can wreck down your self-confidence if you let it into your life. However, failure can become one of most valuable teaching tools if you're willing to learn some hard life lessons.
***We learn from failure, not success....***
Having the courage to fail can pay high dividends in life and carrier. When you are not afraid of failing, you are more likely to take risks. Being willing to take risks, even when falling along the way, can help you to develop original and innovative ideas leading to new opportunities.
Failure is not fun for anyone, but learning how to fail and more importantly, having the courage to fail, can boost learning and open up opportunities you could have never imagined before. In most cases, failure is not the problem but the **fear of failure** is. The fear of failure will definitely keep you from success in all areas of your life. It would prevent you from achieving your goals you truly deserve.
It's easier to learn from failure than to learn from success because it gives you the chance to do what's not working and do something about it. By failing and using what you've learned from experience, you have the potential to become more persistent.
Basketball legend **Michael Jordan** told two anonymous authors of a book published in 1998 titled "Nike culture: The sign of the swoosh", "***I've missed more than 300 games, 26 times I've been trusted to make the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over again in my life and that's why I succeed".***
Also, **Michael Faraday** that we all know as the father of electricity till today, has failed many times in an attempt to produce electricity. He didn't quit then but kept trying till he succumbed failure by producing electricity. That made him unforgettable throughout the universe.
They both share the same surname, no wonder they are both legends LOL 😂 Don't mind me, just kidding.
You can't succeed at anything without failing first. It's important to understand that failure is an essential ingredients of learning. Failure is so valuable because it hurts, it forces you to take one of the two paths: either you choose to give up and do a something else less challenging, or you can choose to learn from the pain of your failure and keep trying again using what you learned to secure you future success.
By changing your perspective and having the courage to search where you went wrong, you would be able to bounce back from setbacks and improve you chances of success later.
Failure only make your next shot easier, quicker and surer. Truly failure helps you to reach your peak and best potential.
I hope few lessons were learnt from this little piece of article of mine. Let me know your thoughts down below, if you find it helpful.
God bless you all. See you all in my next article. Don't forget to take care of yourselves and stay safe!!!

My visit to an automobile workshop earlier today
We have been on a long vacation at college for a month now. So I had to evacuate my hostel at college to spend my vacation with my parents and it's really been nice to set my eyes on them all once again, people like my siblings, mum, dad, fellow relatives and the neighborhood entirely.
While at home today doing nothing, just kept pressing my phone all time watching movies and playing games, I decided to pay an old childhood friend of mine a visit. On getting to his residence, his parents told me he left home not quite long just before I got there. So I made up my mind to check back on him later in the day.
On my way back home, I saw a well constructed and well equipped automobile workshop. It was so full of many advanced equipments, machineries, trained personnel and apprentices, abandoned vehicles also some that's undergoing repair. It looks so enticing to me because it's been awhile I've hoping to set my eyes on one (i.e an automobile workshop company) and not just only that, it's kind of related to my course of study because I'm studying mechanical engineering at college. So I gained a lot of interest in taking a satisfying tour in the workshop, I also sought permission from the administrators present there to take some pictures of their company and its entities for personal purpose.
The sole function of an automobile industry is to repair or replace accidented or wrecked vehicles to it's normal position. They also ensure there isn't any form of fault or mishaps in a vehicle before it's presented to the owner. In summary, they ensure the well-being of a vehicle.
There, I saw more effective impact of technology in our everyday life activities especially in terms of the company's main field (replacing and repairing of accidented vehicles). Effective impacts such as:
Reduction of human labour efficiency (use of machines)
It speeds up operations
It's fast and accurate
Technology keep increasing day by day as they have been helping and will continue to help us in our daily operations. Thanks to our fore founders of some useful equipments and machineries serving purpose to humanity till today. People like Michael Faraday, Albert Einstein etc.
I really enjoyed my stay at the automobile industry today. Truth to be told, I felt like not going home because I was so happy seeing engineering practically real rather than just studying it in a book. My love for my course of study now became unlimited seeing this automobile industry and it's operations.
I just decided to share how my day went today? To me, I would say it was fun filled and interesting. Back to my old friend I payed a visit earlier, after leaving the workshop industry, I checked back on him. To my surprise, he's back at home and we both had good time together and I didn't hesitate to narrate my experience at the automobile industry I visited a while ago and lots of life related issues before we bade ourselves goodbye.
Thanks for taking your precious time to read this. May God bless you all. See y'all later.

Learn about life and grow through it.
July 10, 2022
***Life is a bed of roses if you make it so.***
I always wanted to live a stress-free life. A life full of comfort and love, where my family and loved ones would be happy with me, in a situation whereby everyone around me would not interfere in each other's life.
Yes, we all deserve to live in our comfort zones only if we ensure to possess the following tokens of life;
*We should love each other.*
*We should always support each other by not leaving others alone in hard times.*
*Whenever anyone of us needs a space in life, we should be ready to give that precious space to them.*
This is really the true definition of **"LIFE"**.
As I grew up, I realized every bit of my definition related to life flew away somewhere in the air. Everytime, I got disappointed whenever I see the harsh truth of life. I witnessed numerous heartbreaks happening to me, friends and near loved ones (not in relationship aspect only) . I also witnessed the true face of life.
At this stage of life where I've had experienced the harsh truth of the world, I got to know that life is not only about bad experiences, it is about growing and learning through them. It is still the bed of roses only for those who accept it the way it is. I learned that if we keep thinking about the future, it might cause trouble, also if we keep thinking about bad experiences of the past, it will obstruct us from having and living a happy life.
Now the point is, in this harsh reality of life where we have our experiences different from our expectations, how can we live a happy and wonderful life? The key is, "**Living in the present".** When we make it an habit to live in the present moment of our lives, then we will know and see that life is so easy. We made it complicated just because we worry a lot about our past and expect a lot from our future.
**Below is a simple strategy to live a wonderful life.**
Whenever I feel anxious, I get myself engaged in some activities that I love to do e.g reading books, pouring and writing down my thoughts, learning new things and methods to live with it. I always try to be in my present moment and focus on things that matters to me a lot. In life, we all have good and bad times. From our bad times, we feel stuck and tires, but in our good times, we feel happy and explore new things. Whenever we get in those bad times, we should learn to make good use of those habits we built in our good times that helped us to feel happy and overcome situations then. Those habits are our strength and guidance, try to use them in tough times. Then you will see that there is no much to worry about. Live light and stay strong!!!
****Note;****
*If there are no ups and downs in life, then there is nothing to learn about. When you're not learning anything, this means you're not growing. If you will not grow, then you will not learn to make things easy and in your favor.*
**Always learn to be a table-turner!!!**
Thanks for your time taken on this article of mine to read it, I really do appreciate. I just hope some lessons were learnt from it, and don't forget to share to your friends and loved ones as they also might find it helpful. Bye for now, see you all later.

A letter to my future self.
I've always been thinking about a bright sunny day or a dark gloomy night everyday in my thoughts sometimes in my dreams too and these questions have been bothering me ever since.
What if I had an encounter with my future self, what would I say?
What life lessons will I teach to my future self?
I must be having more wisdom at that time than I currently have but I'm not sure in if in this survival race of life, I must have forgotten some things that was very close to me and were very important at a time. So, I decided to write a letter to my future self to remind me what a beautiful life I had, what are those things I had achieved and how many awesome and wonderful people I shared my life with. So here it goes.......
Dear future me,
Trust you're doing good in your life.
By now, you must have got married to your soulmate and probably have a kid. I hope all of your goals are completed and you're living a fulfilling life. Maybe some of the goals which you set ten years back are not yet completed, so what? I'm sure you would have given it all your efforts. Sit back, relax and analyse what went wrong and put in double effort to accomplish those goals. You still have a lot of life to live.
I hope you got everything you asked for or maybe some of your wishes are not fulfilled yet, so what? Keep making wishes, make a lot of them, ask God for things that you want and put in a lot of hard work to get them fulfilled.
I'm sure by now, many of your loved ones must have left you and gone to a different world. Do not cry for them because they are never gonna dismiss just like that, they are and will forever be in your heart and memory always. Be proud of them and feel grateful that you had such good companions in your life journey. Always work hard to make them proud.
I know it's not easy to get lost in this survival race of life, so for some time, stop whatever you are doing and think wisely.
Are you really happy and enjoying what you're doing?
Are you taking good care of yourself and your loved ones?
Are you giving enough time to your family?
By now, you must have travelled to many beautiful places. I would suggest travelling more. See more of this beautiful nature and planet because you won't get another chance of doing that, never. You only have this life.
Now I will not bother you much, just want to say that you have a very little time left in this world, enjoy it, love more, travel as much as possible, spend time with your friends and family, eat good food, listen to good music, watch interesting movies, read a lot of books and try to be a good person always.
I also want to let you know that I'm so proud of you for achieving so many things in life and also living a hell of life.
Lots of love,
Your past self.
July 9, 2022.
I think I've come to the end of my letter to my future self and I would be very glad to see it come to reality.
Thanks for time taken to read this article of mine, I really do appreciate. God bless you all.
See you all next time.

Our health as a criteria for happiness.
July 7th, 2022. Article no 11
In search and pursuit of happiness in our everyday life activities, we do many things. We travel a lot to relax and learn new scopes of life such as new technologies, cultures and beliefs. We tend to follow our passion to finally acquire satisfaction in our minds. We meet new friends, go on outings and enjoy being around them. We eat delicious food to quench hunger and in order to feel satisfied.
We are always looking for ways to get happy. Now, I want us all to meditate and think about this one thing, if we aren't in a good health condition, can we be able to search and enjoy anything? (Happiness) particularly.
*Let's take a wounded or sick person on a sick bed as an example. Whatever is offered to he or she, be it a delicious meal or a travel ticket to his or her dream country, will he or she be able to enjoy that offer? Absolutely "NO".*
Then, what is that one thing that when being possessed by us, makes us feel happy? We are all aware that happiness is inside our body not outside. So, It has definitely made friends with one thing inside us which is our sound health. Now, let us observe the relationship between health and happiness.....
*If we do exercise, do we feel happy?*
*If we go on a walk, then again, do we feel the presence of joy with a smile on our faces?*
*Do we feel relaxed and very light if we evacuate our beds properly in the morning?*
*If we eat fruits in the morning, does our body feel light just like a feather?*
If the answer to all the above questions is "YES", then this directly means that if we do healthy things, those things that are in favour of our body system, we feel relaxed, happy, and very satisfied.
So, don't endeavor to find happiness elsewhere. Instead, try to work on yourself. Take proper care of your body and mind today, I'm sure you will never regret that, you will certainly feel happy at all time.
**Chase health today and happiness will follow you.**
Below are suggestions for the acquisition of good health;
Regulation of exercise
Consuming healthy foods
Sit in silence at least ten (10) minutes daily
Message or reach out to your loved ones everyday.
****Note******:** Whatever emotions we feel, that's as a result of the chemicals released in our body. If we are healthy, the general populace of our body will be fine too which in turn will make us feel balanced. So, we tend to feel our genuine emotions without interruption.
Thanks for taking your time to read this article of mine. I hope it helped us in one way or the other. You're all appreciated. God bless you all.
See y'all in my next article.

Choices: choose wisely
**Life is a matter of choices and every choice you make in any situation you find yourself today, makes you.**
July 5, 2022. Article no 10
In this life, we are always presented with two options and it's left for us to choose wisely.
Sometimes in life, the best choice are the hardest and sometimes the easiest too, it might also make is doubt if it's the right choice or not. All you have to remember is, your chosen choice will either benefit you or give you some lessons to learn. There are no wrong choices, there are only right choices. Although, the previous boosts self-confidence, but don't be scared by your latter one because that's the one that brings immense growth in your life. All you've got to do is to keep an open mind. That's all. We are the product of all the choices that we make everyday. The combination of all the good and bad choices that we make decides who we really are.
While making this choices, do ensure to listen to yourself and don't rely no someone else's judgement. For example, if you're passionate about singing, then choose singing. But if you ask people that are confident in you to choose for you and they choose law for you, where do you think you're gonna land or be right now? Nowhere, of course. Make your choices by yourself and take responsibility and accountability for the choices you make. Today!!!
*You can't go to a gymnastics center for one week and you're expecting to be fit, hell no. You need to go to the gym, train yourself daily for several years. It has to be your choice to apply going to the gym everyday in your routine.* ***Choose wisely.***
*Choose whether you want to read your books or go out with your friends.* ***Choose wisely*****.**
*Choose whether you want to take a nap in the afternoon or watch the movie you've been wanting to.* ***Choose wisely*****.**
*Choose whether you would like to entertain people around you just so you want to be comfortable in your own community circle.* ***Choose wisely*****.**
*Choose whether you want to move out for studies or live with your parents because that's more important to you.* ***Choose wisely.***
These above, are all your choices to make and many more. No one can make them for you. Not all choices might be easy to make even sometimes, you would want to do both, sometimes none too. It's all your choice to make appropriately. Be honest to yourself about your needs, wants and aspirations because it will help lead you to make better choices at all time. Life will not stop offering choices and you can't stop making them. It's so simple yet kinda hard too. Come to think of it that you have your future resting on your shoulder.
So, choose wisely!!!
Thanks for reading. I hope few lessons were learnt from this. Don't forget to drop-by your thoughts down into the box.
See you all in my next article. God bless you.

Say NO to discrimination today!!!
Saturday 11:32 am
2nd of July, 2022.
I think this particular topic of my article should ring a bell in all our ears as it's not new to anyone of us anymore.
What do we do briefly understand by the word discrimination?
According to Oxford dictionary;
***"Discrimination can be described as the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, sex or disability".***
It could also be described as the recognition and understanding between one thing or another especially in the aspect of differentiating between right and wrong.
Discrimination can also be expressed in some words like hatred, racism, distinguishing, bias, intolerance, favouritism, prejudice, unfairness etc.......
Most of us thought discrimination (racism) implies the demonstration of hatred and favouritism among the whites towards the blacks and vice versa. Hell no! Discrimination can occur anywhere even among the same ethic groups, religions or backgrounds. It might start from society gatherings, communities, states, countries and the world at large. Discrimination can also occur in any form such as:
Discrimination in sex and age
Discrimination in religious beliefs
Discrimination in physical disability
Discrimination in language and beliefs
And lastly discrimination by complexion.
**Discrimination in sex and age**
We find this so rampant among the females in every society or social gathering. They prefer to establish relationship with their fellow gender mates and ages by preventing the interference of the opposite gender in any situation they find themselves. They tend to stay classic in their different realms.
**Discrimination in religious beliefs**
We can also find this everywhere too most especially among religious countries like the Arabians that consists of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq etc. They don't fancy the intrusion of other religions into their system rather than that of the Islam's thereby causing riot and massive killing among themselves.
**Discrimination in physical disability**
This happens most at every region or state. We tend to show less care and kindness towards the disabled people such as the sick, blind, paralyzed, deafs, dumbs etc. staying around us, and most of these disabled people happened to be part of our relatives, society citizens that share the same language, beliefs and culture with us.
**Disability in language and beliefs**
This is also a form of discrimination whereby people with the same language doesn't like to create relationship with another language that differs from theirs. They tend to keep secrets of information and resources regarding financial and economic growth among themselves.
**Discrimination in complexion**
I can boldly say this is commonest and top of all discrimination forms. This happens as a result of hatred and favouritism among citizens of a country due to differences in their complexions. It mostly occurs everywhere too but more specifically among the Black Americans and the White Americans which has ever been causing riots up till today.
In the world at large today, discrimination has caused a lot crisis, chaos and other forms of bad occurrences thereby resulting to hatred among ethic groups, societies, states and countries. It has also been resulting to improper economic growth and development because everyone would feel reluctant to share ideas and beliefs among themselves, keeping things to themselves as a secret.
**In summary;**
According to my own view, I think we can all put an end to this discrimination issues of a thing by taking heed of the following measures;
Create a circle of love amidst any gathering we might find ourselves. Don't be partial to anyone in form of relationship and showing care.
Also feel free to share ideas, suggestions or resources to people that you know they lack or ignorant of irrespective of their backgrounds, age, sex, religion, languages etc.
With these few procedures, I think they might help us put a stop to **discrimination** among ourselves.
Thanks for taking your time to read this. I would be glad to see your thoughts and comments regarding this in the comments box below. Do take care of yourselves and have a great day ahead pals.

First day at University (2018)
5:22 pm
29th of June, 2022
It keeps glancing through my mind anytime I remember the day I resumed University. It's one of the days i won't forget in my lifetime. I've been long hoping for this very day to come then, because I only hear people go to universities, but I've never been there until February 4th, 2022 when I resumed at the Lagos State University.
Getting there, I took a very satisfying tour around the whole campus myself without being asked to or taken around by someone. All I could notice was that people kept staring at me vigorously and let me guess what their thought was, "who's this JJC (Jolly just come) lol 🤣, but I didn't let that to bother me or abstain me from enjoying my tour and I kept on moving and indeed those views my university were magnificent. I was so glad and I felt my dreams and pursuits are finally coming to fulfilment.
On our final day of resumption, that was a week after I resumed at uni, I met lots of new faces with different backgrounds and I couldn't resist to start making friends with them all especially those in my department. Also, I met a few friends of mine which some happened to be my childhood friends, elementary school friends, and college friends. It was really a pleasure of mine to see them once again after a long separation due to different reasons.
University actually, is full of fun at most times and so does learning too, but it got to a certain time that learning gets to become harder and complex day by day, the two goes sideways (the fun and the learning). We were taken to an advanced level in our teaching and learning mode (using projectors in classes and a well conducive learning environment), mode of dressing, also the way we speak and relate with people. I had to start remembering my childhood days, taking a look at myself as someone not matured enough then thereby, making me very proud of myself.
Ever since my resumption at University, things (life) has been going on smoothly except for one thing which is food barrier which can't be literally denied by most students attending Nigerian Universities lol 🤣 it's a common issue though. I studied hard to make good grades at the end of every semester though it's not an easy task but I tried all my possible best to attain that.
I'm so proud to be an undergraduate in studying mechanical engineering as I'm looking forward to be a graduate sooner and I wish myself and all my fellow undergraduate colleagues across the globe a bountiful success ahead in all our academic excellence pursuit.
Thanks for taking your time to read this. See you all in my next article. Until then, you all should take care of yourselves.
Bar soap production at college today (Day 5)
6:09 pm WAT
27th of June, 2022
Article no #7
What's up fellow writers? Today which happens to be Monday marks the resumption of students at my college after we've all enjoyed our weekends at our various homes.
So, at college today, just like we've been having our industrial training for about two weeks now, we were taught on the production of bar soaps. We all should be familiar with a bar soap as we find it useful and important in our everyday life activities.
*A bar soap is chemical substance mostly in a solid form that is made up of different chemical reagents which is used for the purpose of laundry, bathing etc at our various homes, offices and working places.*
If you could remember I've been writing on articles regarding soap making. Yeah, they all fall under a topic termed "saponification". Saponification simply implies the formation of soap.
We were made to understand it's method of production (bar soap), it's formation, uses and importance. The following chemical reactants were used for the production of the bar soap;
Caustic soda
Fragrance oils
Sodium sulphate
Colorants
Water etc.
We were also made to take some preventive measures by ensuring to have the following;
Safety goggles
Rubber hand gloves
Long-sleeved laboratory cloth or aprons
Well ventilated laboratory for the experiment.
Also, some of the apparatus used today for the production were;
A mixing tank (A plastic bucket)
Stirrer (A wooden stick meant for stirring the mixture)
Moulder (a small plastic material used for moulding the mixture to form a solid product)
We all were shared into four (4) different groups, but this time around, we were instructed to perform the same experiment not a different one. We did as instructed by our supervisors and we all came out with very pleasant results of the experiment. Today actually was fun though hectic as usual but we learnt a lot of lessons from the training, those things we had little or no idea were properly revealed to us and we are very delighted to comprehend and put them into practice.
We were advised during the production, to ensure proper stirring of the mixture to avoid **lumps** in the solution. A lump is rice-like or even bigger appearance in the mixture of your solution when producing soaps. It's caused by excess application of fragrance oils or inadequate mixture of the solution. After the mixture and stirring of the different chemical reactants, we were instructed to leave the mixture in a cool and dry place for proper settling and moulding of the solution for four (4) hours.
So, I think that was all we had today at college, just decided to share my thoughts on this as it might be helpful to us too.
Thanks for passing by to read. You all should take care of yourselves and ensure to stay safe.
Until then, bye for now!!!

Article no #6
You all been wondering what I wrote on today. Yeah, it's about Bitcoin Cash (BCH) , how they've been helping and continue to help humanity. It's a coin that has been very good to personally to me since I got to know it, this year (2022) precisely. I got to know it's use, importance and application when a friend of mine introduced me to these two amazing websites.
Noise.cash
Read.cash
These sites through the help of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) have been so marvelous and helpful to me ever since I've been introduced to them.
**Noise.cash**
The first platform I got to know BCH through is this noise.cash where you are permitted to post anything about your lifestyle, nature, travels and discoveries. It's really nice to be part of the platform as it has been very helpful to me not only in terms of payment, rather it helps me to explore more on life when I see other people's post. I got to know different traditions and beliefs across the globe, also some things I've been ignorant of most especially the internet and it's everyday activities. I tend to stay active at all times on this platform all because of those knowledge I do acquire anytime I log into it. They always commend my efforts by getting me paid in USD (United States Dollar) and those funds have really helped me out in some financial aspects. I feel confident and very dependent on my own since I got to know this platform.
****Read.cas******h**
Here comes the other amazing platform I got to know BCH through this year. Read.cash also have a wonderful platform to me ever since I've joined it. Whenever I see people's posts/articles, it always gear up my writing spirit. Literally, writing isn't my spec like I'm not used to writing articles or essays, but getting to know this platform, has really helped me out to have an idea though not perfect yet but trying my best. Your lifestyle, including your travels, tours, nature, discoveries etc. are also welcomed on this beautiful platform. Also, no effort is wasted, they do ensure to get people (including me) paid though the distribution might vary, as well all know it's a **bot** behind this and nobody seems to be perfect (even we humans) and through the support of some of our sponsors and well-known writers like @Talecharm @TheGuy @Olasquare @Gaftekloriginal @Tomi-Ajax @Offset @Ellawrites @Bisolammy @Valour and so many more I can't make mention of. They all have really been great on this platform and I really appreciate your efforts towards the platform.
All these platform stood still through the help and support of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) funds and they never relent in helping the world at large. Yeah, I could remember a day I was surfing the internet and saw a post that says Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is now acceptable as a means of payment at some supermarkets and gas stations. It really nice to hear that and I hope it won't stop there.
Getting to know these awesome platforms through Bitcoin Cash hasn't been a regret to me anytime any day. Thanks to all the moderators and admin. of Bitcoin Cash
BCH to the moon 🌕!!!!
"Toilet wash" production at college today (Day 4)
8:25pm WAT
23rd of June, 2022
Article no 5
Good day fellow writers. Still on our industrial training at college which I've been writing about since few days now. Monday happened to be (Day 1), Wednesday happened to be (Day 2) and today happened to be (Day 3) of the industrial training. The training was also tedious at college today too yet, still very interesting and a lot of lessons were learnt.
Today, we were taught how to produce "toilet wash".
Yeah, what do we understand by a toilet wash? What kind of bell does it ring into our ears?
Mere taking a proper look and understanding to the word itself "toilet wash", I don't think I need to stress myself defining it. It's clear and simple though. Despite that, I would like to do some enlightenment on it for our better comprehension.
*A* ***toilet wash*** *is a substance made up of different types of chemical reactants which is used mainly at "****toilets"*** *for proper neutralization of germs and pathogens. It's sole place of use is the toilet, not anywhere else. Toilets vary at times such as public toilets, home toilets, workplace toilets etc.*
If you all can recall on my last two articles on this industrial training program, I discussed on the production of liquid soap first, followed by air freshener then toilet wash (which I'm writing on today). You would notice they all share a similar function among themselves which is, they all "purify or cleanse" dirts, germs, unpleasant odours and infections in our environment, but what differentiates them is their mode of application and place of application. For the liquid soap, it's used for washing dishes and clothes at home, offices and shops, for the air freshener, it's also sprayed at home, offices and shops for chasing out unpleasant odours in the environment and for the toilet wash, is used "**only"** for washing and cleansing the toilet to prevent infections. I hope we can now spot out the similarities and differences.
So, back to today's experiment, which is toilet wash, the following apparatus were made use of;
Menthol
Caustic soda
Mixing tank (plastic bucket)
Water
Stirrer
Hcl (hydrochloric acid)
Texapon
Methanol etc....
We ensured proper dimensions and mixture of the required chemical reactants for the experiment listed above in the right proportion as instructed by our supervisors and we achieved our expected goal which is the **toilet wash.**
We also took certain preventive measures like putting on required laboratory clothings such as lab coats, hand gloves, face shields, cover shoes etc. to prevent irritation of the skin by the chemicals used.
And lastly, we also discussed about how to establish a small scale business with the production of toilet wash, and the following criterias are to be considered:
Getting ready the capital (source might be from loan companies, self funding or relatives
Create a business plan and budget.
Consider necessary factors like place of production, where demands of products would be high, which means, it should be close to a market place.
Test your products before selling out to people to avoid unnecessary complaints.
And lastly, the branding or packaging is likewise important too to make it look attractive to your customers.
I think that's all we did for today (production of toilet wash). The learning continues tomorrow. I won't hesitate to write on them tomorrow too. Until then, thanks for passing by to read this.
Bye for now.
All photos are mine!!!
Air freshener production at college today (Day 3)
7:35pm WAT
22nd of June, 2022
Article no 4.
If you all can recollect just few days back, about an article I wrote termed "**liquid soap making at college today"**. Yeah, here is another version of it. Just like I said earlier that day, the program is set to hold for eight (8) good weeks. We were about concluding a week now and ever since, series of experiments have been carried out.
Two days ago i.e (Monday), before the commencement of the program, we were distributed into groups which were four (4) in number. So each groups were told to perform different experiments and defend them. Ours turned out to be "liquid soap production" while others were given different projects which I couldn't remember them all. It's indeed a "**skill acquisition program**" that helps we students to explore more training asides our field of study which might create job opportunities for us or which we can start a business with in the nearest future.
So, today likewise too, we were taught how to produce air freshener.
Yeah, what do you understand by an air freshener?
An **air freshener** is a substance that contains different chemicals which is used to neutralize unpleasant odours or scents when sprayed in the environment such as homes, offices, shops etc. It's sole importance is to prevent the environment from germs and infections when applied which makes it get healthier and smell nice.
****Apparatus used;****
Measuring cylinder
Plastic bucket
Stirrer (a wooden stick used for stirring the mixture)
Water
Chemicals substances like (methanol, catalyst, perfume, texapon etc.)
During the experiment, we also took some precautionary measures almost like i stated few days ago. Precautions like;
Putting on safety wears which includes (long-sleeved laboratory coats, safety shoes, hand gloves, nose masks, safety glasses or eye glasses etc.) all to avoid direct skin contact to harmful chemicals.
Following ,comprehending and abiding by owners manual at all times.
Appropriate mixture of the chemicals to prevent incorrect experiment results.
The experiment really went nice and perfect today too as we did all what we were instructed to do and each groups were graded appropriately according to their performance. We also had a presentation individually on what we've been learning so far, all to ensure everyone understands the aims and objectives of the experiment. Also, each member of the group, took a little sample of the experiment (air freshener) home for use and recommendation.
Just decided to stop by and share my thoughts and experience today at college. Thanks for taking your time to read this. I would love to listen to your suggestions on this in the comments box below 👇if you find it very interesting.
Bye for now. You all should take care and stay safe.

Why honesty remains the best policy.
9:40pm
21th of June, 2022.
Article no 3
We all have heard about this little proverb that says "**honesty is the best policy**", not once, twice nor thrice but multiple times.
Yeah, what does being honest imply?
Honesty simply implies being truthful and trustworthy. It further means developing a practice of speaking truth throughout someone's lifetime in any ramification or situation you find yourself be it worse or good one.
What are the advantageous effects of being honest? Check them out below;
**Honesty enhances authenticity**: As we all know the word "authentic" simply means being genuine or real. So does honesty implies too when we put it into practice. It enables people to know the real you, what you're capable of or not, it makes people to know your stand or worth in the society thereby making your dignity stand strong without blemish.
**Honesty fosters courage:** Being honest helps to build up self-courage anytime and anywhere you find yourself. You tend to worry less about things coming your way since it's much easier to defend them without cutting corners.
**Honesty help creates a circle of love**: In this aspect, an honest person tend to receive appropriate and genuine love from everyone irrespective of your age and background. They would choose to be with you and also stand with you even in the darkest moments, just because you're a trusted type.
**Honesty fosters freedom**: In this aspect, an honest person tends to feel free to do anything of your choice since you've done nothing wrong. On like a deceitful type, he or she will always find it difficult to walk amidst people or share his or her thoughts amidst people because he knows how can't be trusted at least once.
Being honest has varieties of advantages which all can't be made mention of. More benefits like it helps in developing good attributes such as discipline, kindness, trustworthiness, moral integrity etc. Lying, cheating, lack of trust, greed and other immoral attitudes have no impact on being honest. Honest people are always sincere, loyal and trustworthy throughout their lifetime.
So, I think it's time to shoot our best shot now, and let's endeavor to be honest. It really pays a lot when being honest. The rewards might not come sooner but trust me, it's still gonna reflect, it might just take a little time for that to happen. Some might even be quicker. It all depends on how God wants it to occur.
I think a great lesson has been learnt today. If you find it interesting and helping, don't hesitate to hit the comments box and drop your views or thoughts.
Until then, thanks for passing by to read. Take care and stay safe.
Liquid soap making at college today.
9:20pm
June 20th, 2022
Article no 2
College today was so hectic for us all most especially me because I happened to be one of the group coordinator in my department.
We were busy having practicals on the production of liquid soaps.
It's a program termed "SWEP" organized by the government to be run through some Nigerian universities. It is 6-8 weeks program set aside for Nigerian undergraduates to provide them with industrial skills, training and needed experience matching their course of study. After which at the end of the program, each student are meant to defend their training skills acquired from the program and likewise be presented a certificate for it.
Varieties of invigilators from different institutes came over to inspect, monitor and ensure the smooth running of the program across all levels of department in my college. The program do last six (6) hours per day within the stipulated time of 9am-3pm everyday for eight (8) good weeks.
There we were made to explore more in industrial trainings on production of substances **electronically, chemically and mechanically.**
So far today, we dealt with the production of liquid soaps. We had a mixture of different chemicals to produce it including acids too. It really went fine and we learnt varieties of lessons.
I could remember before the commencement of the program, some safety precautions were stated by our invigilators to avoid hazard to any student in the laboratory. Some of which I could remember are stated below:
Always ensure to put on your protective wears before entering the laboratory or performing any operation in the laboratory. Examples of those protective wears are the laboratory coats, nose masks, face shields or eye glasses, safety shoes, hand gloves etc. It's necessary to have all this on to prevent spillage of chemicals on the body surfaces.
Read, meditate and follow owners manual. This means adhering to guided instructions and directives of laboratory apparatuses and instruments by their manufacturers. To avoid wrong use of the instruments which might cause severe damage to the body.
Today was fun though hectic too. But, I enjoyed the fun aspect most as we learn new things we lack the ideas of. And those invigilators look so friendly and admiring. They spent their time cheering us up to avoid boredom.
To crown it all, today was really splendid. And at long run, I didn't regret to be part of the program.
Just decided to share how my day went. Thanks for passing by to read. GRACIAS....

Happy father's day celebration.
5:43pm
Sunday June 19, 2022
Article no 1
Hi, fellow beautiful writers. I'm Endless-cash by name. Though it's my first time writing on this platform. Thanks to this great friend of mine @Offset for referring me to this great and enticing platform. It's really nice to meet you all. It's just a matter of time before I get used to the platform.
So, as we all know the only celebration being celebrated around the globe today is the "FATHER'S DAY" celebration.
Father, as we all know them as the bread winner of the family, does an important and distinct role in the family. Some of those important roles are listed below;
**Financial role:** When it comes to financial (money) aspects, we all know the father is mostly accountable and responsible for that. He would make sure in all ramifications to make ends meet for the rest members of the family. He doesn't seem to like a situation whereby the rate of "wants" is high. Wants in the aspect of providing necessary foodstuffs to the home, providing clothing and shelters too to the kids etc. He strives hard to ensure everything is going on smoothly in the family. They're really worth celebrating most especially on this.
**Moral role:** Also in this aspect, a very big kudos is meant to be given to every father across the globe. "Discipline" to be precise. They teach and nurture the kids on living a well disciplined and comfortable life. They serve as good role model to their upgrowing kids so they won't be led astray. Anytime, the kids does something bad, he won't hesitate to punish him or her for their misdeeds. He is also very delighted in seeing their kids smile at all times. Whenever boredom arises, he takes the kids to shopping, play games centres, sports places etc. just to make them happy and delighted. He ensures proper upgrowth of the family members likewise the mother too.
There are also numerous roles the father does in the family which can't be said all.
But the commonest and important ones (roles) are those two (2) listed above which all family members mustn't lack and also which most fathers take their time looking into.
They're really worth being celebrated today. As they stand as risk- bearer in all forms in the family.
Though I'm aspiring to be one very soon, it isn't an easy task though as we all know, to be a father.
I wish all fathers across the globe long life in good health and wealth to witness their kids success, also prosperity and happiness in all they lay their hands upon.
Thanks for taking your precious time to read this article of mine. It's really nice to meet y'all.
