One day we'll leave this world behind, so live a life you will remember One day we'll leave this world behind, so live a life you will remember. 🎶 Most of us will know that song whose lyrics I wrote above. It was sang by Avicii- The nights. It's been said that "the present is a prologue to the future", but I think it's the other way round. It is the past that has made today what it is, and the future is yet to be written. It is up to us to decide our path from here. The past was only a prologue to the future because we are destined to repeat the same mistakes we made in our past if we don't learn from them. But we've also been given the ability to be able to change our present if it's not a life we'd want to leave, if it's not a life we would want to live again if we had the choice. When we look back at our lives from today and later, we have the power to decide if we want to keep it this way or make the necessary changes so when we look back again someday, we'll be proud of how far we've come. **One day we'll leave this world behind** Ok so a time will come when we leave this world and it's inevitable, to say the least. The question isn't whether you're going to die, but when, where and how! This is one of my favorite quotes because of the truth behind it. It shouldn't be seen as scary or something to be afraid of, but instead a reminder that life is short and that we should live it the best way possible. It's easy to forget about today and our plans for tomorrow when we have things like family, jobs, bills and other daily stressors. People need to realize that every day is an opportunity for us to make a change for the better or to take advantage of something we've been procrastinating. With the time I've spent on earth, I've met people from different part of globe and can say with confidence that this planet is filled with amazing souls. Unfortunately some day everyone will die. Every life comes with it's own set of struggles, and each little or big one has it's own impact in our attitude towards life. Sometimes we forget the true meaning of life, either that our purpose is clear, or we lose the hope to live again. It's our mind which defines us, which confines us within a bunch of walls which we come to know as 'Life'. Mind has a great power to shape how we actually end up living our lives. **In conclusion**: *It's very rare to leave this world with your life experience going exactly as you had intended. Most people's lives go off course in multiple ways, but it doesn't mean that things are lost forever. You have the ability to change the direction of your life at any moment with a small decision.* *You'll find that when you change your mindset and take action with a clear vision, life will open up opportunities in front of you that wouldn't have presented themselves otherwise.* *Because I know one day I will leave it behind, so I want to live a life that I can remember. My goal is to have one life that is completely full. Despite what's around me, I can have a life that matters.* *If it's not a life you would want to leave, if it's not a life you would want to live again, then it's time you start changing now.* Thanks for reading 💚💚

Meditation What's up readers, how are you all doing. Happy new month, may this month of MAY grant us blessings. I've been off for about 2 days now, this is because I have been meditating. The practice of meditation is well known for its benefits in calming the mind, reducing stress, and increasing focus and concentration. The first step in living a better life is to remove the negative influences around you. When you meditate, it clears out the negative doubts in our minds and allows us to focus on a positive mindset. The result of meditation is peace, happiness, clarity and better decisions. When done properly, meditation can be a way to clear your mind of stress and anxiety, improve communication skills and even help you to sleep better at night. It helps us find a sense of balance that makes us feel centered, peaceful and calm. **The Bible supports meditation.** There are many ways in which the bible made it known that meditation is good for the body and soul. How often do you find yourself feeling frustrated? It doesn't take much these days to tip the scale from contentment to utter discontent. As we become busier and busier, our minds get more cluttered with thoughts, some of which are nowhere near reality. We begin to think that things should be different than they are and that we're missing out on something. What we sometimes forget is that this is a totally manufactured response. Our mind creates it. Meditation helps you to concentrate, It helps you to relax and forget about everyday worries and helps you to get rid of depression. How do I meditate? *There are many ways to meditate. One can sit still, focus the mind and breath or move the body in a rhythmic fashion, like dance or martial arts.* *It is best to start with with simple exercises, such as breathing exercise.* *In principle, whether it's worth starting to meditate? I think definitely worth it! After some time of practicing meditation, you will definitely feel its effectiveness and benefits* When we live in the Age of Technology, more and more people turn to social networks to avoid this fast rhythm, to find a way to be focused on the present. Naturally, everyone has its own way to relax and de-stress. But meditation is one of the most effective methods. Meditation is good for both the body and soul. Nowadays, meditation is used mainly as a relaxation technique, because it's natural to feel stressed out when we are so much connected with our cell phones and tablets. Good research has been conducted on the effect of meditation on the reduction of stress and anxiety. And the good news is that researches have shown meditation can help us with these problems. At the same time, meditation can improve your memory and concentration, your creativity and problem-solving skills. Moreover, you can use it to lose weight or improve your sleep. Isn't that amazing? It will help you to control your emotions and how you react when you're facing stressful situations. **The last, but not least important fact** meditation is extremely addictive. Once you start meditating, it will be hard to stop, because you'll feel better! Thanks for reading ❤️❤️

Try again I was on Instagram today when I came across a video posted by 433. Below is the link to the video. It was this video that gave me the idea of this article. https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cc5Q7coFly5/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= If you clicked on the video to watch, you will see a guy who was trying to kick a ball into a hole, he did it more than once before he finally played the ball into the right hole. At first he didn't succeed in what he was doing, but he tried again and again, till he achieved what he was trying to do. **If you do not succeed, try again** If you do not succeed, try again. If you still don't succeed, repeat the process. If you still don't succeed, ask someone what they did so you can do it. If there is nothing to ask, wait. If it still doesn't work ask someone else or try something new. If that doesn't work, take a break and try again. It is wrong to humiliate and give up on yourself. If you cannot go through with something the first time, try again, because who knows what will happen if you do it again. Even if you fail again and again, as long as you have not given up, you have to try again. You will always have another opportunity and another chance. Some of us, when we do something wrong, we stop doing it. We don't wait for success, we take advantage of failure! Also, by knowing the best facts about your passion and make it happen step by step. **And this is because some of us doesn't know what success is.** Here is what some people think success is; They believe Success is creating a lot of money, having a big house and a good life. When you don't have money and you're poor, it's not good for you or your family. We have to have our own money and live in our own houses. **Success isn't just about that. Success comes through lot of efforts. Those that are successful didn't just make it one day without failing once. There are times when you'll fail, but the best thing to do after that is to try again.** Risks are meant to be taken, and failure is inevitable. It's not about the failure, it's about how you react to failure. If you're a person who does something and you don't succeed, try again. Do it differently next time. I get emotional about things that don't go my way because I'm naturally competitive and I like to win, but I try to learn from my failures and even laugh about them sometimes. After all, what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger. **In conclusion;** If you do not succeed again, try again Or better yet, find out why and make a change before you start over. If the reason is that someone or something is standing in your way, face them with courage and determination to do what needs to be done for you to reach your goal. Life can be discouraging and sometimes you need a little inspiration to push you through those tough times. If you are struggling to pursue your dreams, something that has meant so much to you for years and you have stopped, or even thought about stopping because it just didn't seem worth it…try again. **Thanks for reading 💚❤️**

BitcoinCash: Captain BitcoinCash Is saving lives **BitcoinCash has changed the world, now merchants accepts BitcoinCash, people are now using BitcoinCash to buy products because BitcoinCash have better price and less transaction cost.** BitcoinCash is a real life saver for many people. The merchants who accepts BitcoinCash as payment for goods and services are helping their customers a lot. Saving them from unnecessary charges. I'm one of those who have been saved by BitcoinCash and I'm trying to help some other people by introducing them to BitcoinCash. The idea that anyone can help improve the lives of people around the world using cryptocurrencies is something i feel strongly about. In fact, i've seen a group of children being sponsored with cryptocurrency, mainly Bitcoin and BitcoinCash. The organization became more successful when they recently decided to accept BitcoinCash as well. ***Now, we can say they are saving the children's life through BitcoinCash*** We all know that cryptocurrency was invented to help the world of finance reach a more decentralized, a more fair and transparent state. The goal was to empower people directly instead of through third parties. That’s why im so glad to hear stories of merchants and even smaller shops accepting BitcoinCash as payment, because they want to go down the same route. What I find particularly interesting is that small businesses in large areas are starting to go down that route too. With that BitcoinCash I'd spreading more and more. It really doesn’t matter who you are or where you are from, BitcoinCash is offering you the means to buy and sell with freedom without the fear of being ripped off by others or the monopolies we’ve grown accustomed to. **The importance of ease of use is not something that should be overlooked. If merchant wants to start accepting BitcoinCash, it is as simple as possible.** So now, of you are a business owner, small or large scale. Try to accept BitcoinCash as a payment system today and see the outcome. Even it will make more people interested in your services. **As a merchant, here are what you can tell your customers,** Just name a few of the benefits: ***It costs nothing to use. You can check the price you pay with BitcoinCash without any fees.*** ***Much faster. Transactions in BitcoinCash is only in matter of seconds.*** ***You do not have to rely on a third-party provider, such as PayPal or a bank, to process your payments.*** ***You can send BitcoinCash to anyone, anywhere in the world.*** ***Merchants accepting BitcoinCash as payment are increasing day by day.*** **Finally;** There are so many success stories of people using BitcoinCash to travel abroad and make huge profits out of it. BitcoinCash is decentralized cash for the internet. It's fast, cheap and secure. It has no corruption and no limits on how much you could own. And most importantly it's cheap, fast and it's saving lives. Check out my sponsors 💚💚❤️❤️ **Thanks for reading 💚💚**

First and the best Most Nigerians on this platform will know the institution that portrays the phrase ***"First and the best".*** As a Nigerian, the first thing that ought to come to your mind, or rather the first thing that comes to your mind whenever **First and the best** is mentioned should be the University of Ibadan. The University of Ibadan is the first and the best university in Nigeria. University of Ibadan, UI is the oldest university in Nigeria and in Africa. The University of Ibadan is the first university set up in Nigeria by the first democratically elected government It is the first university in Nigeria to independently produce a Nobel laureate, the first university in Nigeria to achieve the First World University title and so many more firsts. Let's leave that for another day 😀 `Now let us relate "First and the best" in other aspect of life.` Many people have a dream of becoming first in their life. Some of them make it and some of them don't. There are thousands of examples of people who have achieved the top by being first in something. But how did they achieve it? What are the advantages of being the first? Becoming the first and the best in life isn't easy. There are a lot of obstacles to cross on your way to success and a lot of them you can't even imagine before. The examples of people who became first in something are also an advice for those who think that they can achieve something by dreaming only. It takes a lot of practice, patience and hard work to become the first and the best in anything. However it is not necessary that you are born with some talent like for example to become a professional athlete or a football player. Lionel Messi and cristiano Ronaldo won't be the great players they are today if they weren't patient and hardworking. These are the people who are born with a certain advantage over others and they do become the best in it. But then there are people who have to work really hard to become what they want. They have to face a lot of challenges and in the end they succeed and then they become the first and the best in it. **Why do we need to be the first and the best?** Becoming the first and the best in life isn't easy. It needs a lot of consistency, commitment and patience. I know it so well, because I have experienced it myself. There may be a lot of people who have achieved what you are aiming to achieve and there may be a lot who are currently working on achieving the same goal as you. But it may also be true that none of them have achieved what you have achieved or none of them have been as consistent and persistent as you have been. No matter what field you belong to and which position, you are trying to gain. You have to struggle a lot. People do everything to get first in any field. It doesn't matter the aspect it is in life, either sports, education or business, becoming the first and the best isn't easy task. **Closing thought;** Achieving the top spot and being the first from all others isn't easy as it seems. Being the first and the best in life isn't easy. No matter who you are and what you do, you'll have to face challenges that others don't. But what happens if we forget this truth? What if we not only stop dreaming big but start telling ourselves that we're not good enough to be the first in something? This is why I wrote this article. To help you stay motivated and remember that your dreams are worth fighting for, no matter who tries to stop you from chasing them. *Thanks for reading 💚 💚*

BitcoinCash: Uniqueness of Bitcoincash BitcoinCash is a cryptocurrency like other cryptocurrencies. But it has some unique features that make it an attractive alternative to other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Here are some unique things about BitcoinCash. **BitcoinCash logo is green** BitcoinCash, whose logo looks exactly like that of Bitcoin but just with green colour. The logo is simply an illustration with B striked by two lines. No fancy graphics, no complex mathematical equations, just a simple image to convey the basic idea of the currency which is digital cash. This is to reflect the environment friendliness of the cryptocurrency. ***Green is a very special colour in the world of cryptocurrency. Majority of us knows the joy we feel when we see the green colour in the market. Same joy is what BitcoinCash gives. It illustrated that BitcoinCash is a joy giver.*** BitcoinCash is environmentally friendly in that its network uses significantly less electricity than that of Bitcoin. The BCH network consumes one-seventh of the electricity used by Bitcoin and has a transaction processing speed of 60 transactions per second compared to the 6 transactions per second of Bitcoin. BitcoinCash is also a payment system that powers instant transactions and micro-transactions between parties across the globe. BitcoinCash has removed the need for costly intermediaries, allowing transactions to be performed at much lower costs than with any other payment system. BitcoinCash (BCH) currently has a total market cap of more than $6 Billion USD. BitcoinCash has an average Block Time of around 10 Minutes, which is 4x faster than BTC It has an average transaction fees of around $0.005, which is 2x lower than BTC. BitcoinCash is supported by most leading exchanges and can be held on any hardware wallet, ledger wallet etc. Bitcoin Cash implements the wormhole protocol. This makes it easy for anyone to issue tokens on the BCH blockchain to use as they wish. This allows developers to create tokenized assets (tokens). For example, if a game developer wants to reward players with their own token after playing the game for a certain amount of time. In some games, you can even trade with other players for those tokens. The Wormhole protocol makes it possible for anyone to create tokens without complex code or programming skills. This lowers barriers for developers to access the blockchain ecosystem and build applications for it. Wormhole also allows for value to be transferred across blockchains with no hassle at all, which opens up many doors for future innovation and cross-chain interactions.

Silence & Solitude ***Hello readers, I hope you are all doing well. Happy Sunday to you all. It's the last Sunday in the month of April. It's raining over here, and everywhere is silent and calm. It's a moment you will enjoy being alone. Which is why I will be talking about*** *****silence and solitude.***** **Silence** Not talking or being silent is the most underrated skill and I love it when I see people in my life becoming more comfortable with silence. That's when I know they're learning to be alone with themselves. The reason we talk so much is because we are afraid of the silence and solitude we need in order to hear ourselves and to connect more deeply with others. **Solitude** Solitude means being alone and enjoying it. Few people have the courage to enjoy their own company, but in doing so they can reap numerous rewards. In times of despair, feelings of loneliness are a natural response. But, in fact, loneliness is always an option. The silence of your thoughts is only broken during moments of true connection. If you're feeling alone, you are an option. You are never alone if you allow yourself to be present in the moment. To be aware and alive to the world around you. And if you are afraid of losing yourself in the moment you are fearing the loss of an illusion. **Here are some reasons why we need solitude;** **You need solitude to realize your flaws-** Solitude has been my BEST friend when it comes to identifying my flaws, something I find very hard to do when I'm around people. With the right amount of time alone, you'll strip down to your core and discover all the things you don't like about yourself and then can begin to improve on those areas. The key is to always be constructive with your criticism. **You need solitude to be creative-** Solitude gives you the space and quiet you need to brainstorm and be creative. **You need solitude for self-discovery-** Solitude helps you connect with the real, true you. It allows you to delve deeper into your emotions and what makes you who you are as a person. **You need solitude for confidence-** Being alone helps build confidence in yourself and your abilities by allowing you to get out of your comfort zone and accomplish things that are difficult for you by yourself. **You need solitude because it's social-** When people aren't around, it allows us to feel at peace and not feel judged by others; so while it can be very isolating, it can also be very freeing because we have time to ourselves without any distractions or interruptions (even if we have interruptions deep within our own head). That's why I love being alone and why I wish there were more days where I could spend them alone. **In silence/solitude we are forced to be with ourselves. In our busy world, that feels uncomfortable.** Our inner world can feel violent and intense, especially when we allow it to just be without trying to fix it or run away from it. Your inner world is the only one you have control over, so it's important to know what goes on inside it. You were born, and you exist, creating your own world with your thoughts and actions, but silence is still all around you. There is always silence. And when you're lost in your thoughts or simply enjoying your solitude, this silence is not a burden or constraint: it's a reminder that you are not alone. **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

BitcoinCash: Putting BitcoinCash on the map Bitcoin Cash is an altcoin that came out of the bitcoin hardfork in August 2017. It is in itself a fork of bitcoin which allows more transactions to be processed simultaneously. Bitcoincash is also known as BCH is faster, cheaper and more reliable than its big brother, BTC. Bitcoin cash has all the properties you want in a cryptocurrency: BCH can be transferred globally very quickly, it has low fees and you don't need any bank account to receive payments. https://read.cash/@Omar BitcoinCash is fast! I'm certain it has the potential to speed up almost every $ transaction you can think of by 30-50% (or more). In recent months I've had the opportunity to work on this cryptocurrency and I am building an avenue that i will proclaim BitcoinCash to everyone. In a region with widespread corruption and a struggling economy, BitcoinCash's transparency makes me feel a lot safer about sending money to friends and family. I'm excited by this because I see the potential of bitcoin cash and want to do my part to support its growth and adoption. You can put Bitcoincash on the map in so many ways. By telling people of the benefits of the currency. E.g With this currency, you can send money from one country to another country in a matter of minutes with low cost, which is amazing. The world would be a better place if people could send money across borders and still get great value. The good thing is that we can make this happen, yes you and me. It would just take a bit of extra effort on our part while still continuing with our great idea of improving each other's lives. We can spread BitcoinCash all over the world by telling people about it's goodness. https://read.cash/@quest In my opinion, BitcoinCash will be one of the biggest cryptocurrencies to grow worldwide because we really need a currency that we can trust in. Bitcoin cash is a cryptocurrency with great prospect - we need to do all our best to put Bitcoincash on the map. Consider additional use of the currency in your stores and businesses. I believe it will be a success. I have a couple of friends that accepts BitcoinCash as a means of payment in the online business. By doing do they are promoting BitcoinCash in the little way they can. Thanks to my latest sponsor @Talecha @oma I know a couple of people on readcash here as well that are doing their best to be part of the movement that will help Bitcoin Cash to be known in cryptocurrency market. Most of their articles are dedicated to the great benefits that we all can get from this cryptocurrency. I'm talking of people like @Pantera and @Fexonice1 . They are good examples of people that are committed to the growth of Bitcoincash. In order to succeed I believe Bitcoin Cash needs a lot more promotion and advertising. The whole community needs to stand up for the idea of a better currency with faster transaction time and lower fees. Everybody who believes in the revolution should do his best to spread the word about Bitcoin Cash. There is still a lot of work to do if we want Bitcoin Cash to be a real alternative to other currencies. We need more people to use it and we need merchants to accept it as a payment system. Here are some of the articles of the aforementioned writers The purpose of BCH https://read.cash/@Fexonice1/the-purpose-of-bch-4443e01a Bitcoincash resumes competition. https://read.cash/@Pantera/bitcoin-cash-resumes-the-competition-196a8c42 **Thanks for reading 💚💚**

F i n e s s e There's something about liking a song and wanting to know the lyrics from head to toe. At the same time, you would like a song and still don't know the lyrics. Sometimes, it is only the chorus of a song that we like and we want to know what the rest of the song is. The best part is that, sometimes you find yourself singing a particular song, in your mind but don't know the lyrics for it. This particular song, Finesse by pheelz ft BNXN has been part of the trending Nigeria songs in the past few weeks. I love the song so much, that I had to put it on repeat. While playing the song, I would always sing along. To me, I know the lyrics from head to toe, but in reality, if the music should stop I won't be able to continue the song. Why? Cz there are some places in the song Im always lip syncing. Especially the part where BNXN came in. Today, when I saw F I N E S S E trending on Twitter, I thought people were just talking about the song. Not until I saw that what BNXN actually said at the beginning of his part was F I N E S S E. Then I Sang the part saying F I N E S S E, and it was perfect. The surprising fact is that I didn't know what I've been saying the whole time before seeing that it is F I N E S S E. I tried to sing it the way I do before, but the real lyrics was what was coming to my mouth. I know I wasn't saying the right thing before. I was either saying; **Efa eyin esesin, or Efa N G necessary.** LoL. I can't really really remember the rubbish I was saying, but I knew I wasn't saying the right words. It was then I realize, most songs I love were loved mainly because of their rhythm. Not by their lyrics or whatever. There are songs that I know the lyrics althrough though. They are mostly solemn songs and from great artists. Checking lyrics of a song and singing along isn't my thing. I can be staring at the lyrics and still sing what comes to my mind. So I prefer to learn the wordings of the song by listening to it well, it is easier to grab that way. **So which type are you?** **The type that check lyrics and sing Along.?** **The fast listener that learns the lyrics by constantly listening to the song?** **Or A lip syncer just like me, that only vibes to the beat and just hum along with the song?** **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

Overthinking won't solve problems, better days are coming don't lose hope. Overthinking is a form of procrastination in which one thinks excessively about an issue then wonders why the issue has not been resolved. This can be a problem for some people, when they sit in one place and think about something for too long, without ever taking action to make the situation better. Overthinking doesn't solve any problem. I'm never overthinking as i'm too busy doing better things. Personally, I go through phases where I'll overthink something. It can be anything from worrying about my bank account to overthinking why things aren't going well. To be honest, I've gone past that nowadays. I don't stress myself thinking again. The older I get, the less I overthink and the less I worry. It's probably because I'm getting better at fixing things myself instead of waiting for someone else to fix them for me. Have faith in yourself and your abilities, then put everything you have into every decision you make. You'll end up where you were meant to be. It's as simple as that. So, if you have a problem or need help with solving a problem, please stop over-thinking about it. You might not be doing anything about it. In my opinion, over-thinking is the biggest reason why most people don't do anything about their problems. Because they get stuck in the idea that there must be a perfect solution to the problem and that solution must pass a test before they consider acting on it. For example, it is commonly believed that the more we worry about a problem, the more solutions we'll come up with to help solve it. The opposite is true. The more we worry about a problem, the more our brains become exhausted and then start to shut down, leading to lack of solutions. Scientists have proved this by putting people in a brain scanner and then asking them to solve a brain teaser. This was the outcome of the test; 1. When people were told to stop thinking about the problem and relax, they came up with many solutions. 2. When they were asked to keep worrying about the problem, their brains saw less activity as they became exhausted by overthinking. To stop overthinking, we need to free our minds of distractions and give them the space they need to review our problems and see obvious solutions. ***Closing thought:*** Too small, too big, not enough, too much… These are the excuses we tell ourselves every day to not do what we want. Focus on the process and not on the result. Doing this will not only let you get your goal faster, but it'll also give you the real pleasure of living. So, stop thinking too much and try to live freely. The trick is to know that: Nothing comes to those who don't ask for it. Nothing comes to those who don't work for it. So, go for your wish, Go for your goal, Go for your dreams. **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

Life is a seed (you'll reap whatever you sow) Life is like a seed. If you take care of it, nurture it and plant the seed into fertile soil, then the miracle of growth will set in motion and that little seed will one day grow into something big and strong enough to support anything. You'll reap whatever you sow. You can't sow an orange and expect that reap an apple. You'll reap what you sow. You may have heard this proverb before but do you apply it to your daily life? Do you sow positive thoughts, words, and actions and expect the same in return? Or, do you sow negativity and expect positive results? If you want positive results in your life, be sure to sow positive seeds in your mind first. To get started with affirmations, take out a small notebook and every day write down 3-5 positive things about yourself and what you will achieve or accomplish. Writing it down allows your mind to acknowledge the truth of it and 'seeds' a more positive mindset. You'll reap whatever you sow. For good or for bad, everything in life is a direct reflection of your actions. If you want to make more money, you have to work hard. If you want to be healthy, you have to eat right and exercise. If you want to be a better person, you have to do the things that good people do. There's a solution for every problem, but if you rely on luck instead of hard work, you're only going to be disappointed. Sow the seeds that will produce the results that you want. The first step is always the hardest, but once you get started, it gets easier and easier. You cant trick the universe. There's no way to trick it into giving you more than you deserve.  If you want to live a good life, make the world a better place and help people, then that's what you should do. The way you make someone feel, is permanent. You are either a positive light in someone's life or a negative one. It's easy to think of the negative things we say or do and not notice the impact on others. It's easy to only reflect on things that have happened to us and how negative people have treated us. Why not plant an extra positive seed today? Why not choose a positive mindset and own it? When someone says something to you and you're inclined to argue, ask them: "What would be a better way for me to respond to this?" Maybe they're right. Maybe they're wrong. But if you go into your response with a better mindset, things can go from bad to better instantly. **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

La casa de papel (smartBCH edition) This is no longer rug pull it is now robbery. With the number of rug pulls we are experiencing in smartBCH nowadays, it won't encourage new users to involve themselves in smartBCH tokens. The rate at which we are being scammed is getting too much. Recently we got the heartbreak from BCH TOWNS. This particular one looked so real that I bought the presale and even introduced it to some of my Friends. It ended up being a great scam. We haven't gotten over BCH TOWN then FRN token did theirs well. Though I didn't get any of the FRN token, but those that got it, how do they expect them to feel. Rug-pull every here and there. These people are so perfect at their dubious work. They would make the plans so we'll just like the professor of money heist. Only God knows the number of days/weeks or months it took them to make those plans. They would make it so real that you won't doubt if it is a fake token or not. And these people are gradually shifting people's interest away from smartBCH. Imagine getting into a business and then having a loss for a start. One won't be encouraged to continue, same thing applicable when it comes to smart BCH tokens. People are getting their heartbroken. Lot of people invest all their capital in these tokens that crashed. How do we expect them to feel. Some might even go out and start saying bad about smartBCH. Whereas the smartBCH initiation was a very thoughtful one . Amidst the rug pulls, NFTs aren't selling. Imagine purchasing up to 20 NFTs and having none rare at of it. It wouldn't even be painful if one can sell them and earn one's money back. But no, when there are people who already listed it lesser than the price it was minted. smartBCH needs great attention. We want BCH's growth and smartBCH is a great way we can use to help promote BitcoinCash and make it have more adoption. If you are one of those that are scammed, remember you are not in this alone. There are lot of people out there who are also in your shoes. We need these group of scammers out of the system. Ensure you read about a project well before getting into it. Invest the amount you know you can afford to lose. Keep promoting smartBCH Together we can make smartBCH great. **Conclusion:** SmartBCH is really nice. It has lots of potential and I'm sure it will get even better with time. I don't know how, but I hope this issue of scam is fixed. The number of scam in smartbch is getting much lately. As much as i love the idea of smartbch and all the activities going on about it, I really think something can be done about it. This is not only worrying users who don't know how to differentiate a genuine dev/token from a fake one but most importantly, it is scaring newbies who are looking forward to get involved. I understand that scammers are everywhere, but I also believe that something can be done. **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

Why do we celebrate Easter? Hey readers, hope you are all doing fine. Today is easter Sunday, so let me take this opportunity to wish you a happy easter. **Easter** is celebrated by Christians as the day Jesus Christ was resurrected. It is a day widely known as the day Jesus rose from the dead. It was a fact that Jesus was killed on a cross and raised from the dead. The details of his death and resurrection are of great importance to Christians. These events are believed by Christians to be what brought Jesus into the presence of God and gives Jesus the role of being a savior for all people. Jesus Christ, the Almighty God and Creator of the universe, was born as a baby 2,000 years ago. His birth changed the course of history forever. No other man has ever lived a life like Jesus or changed the world like he did. However, there are many reasons why we celebrate Easter. The real story of Easter and its meanings are Jesus' teachings, His crucifixion and resurrection. **Jesus died for our sins.** The sacrifice he made is one that is unparalleled and will always be the greatest gift in history. But it's also a gift that can be forgotten. Jesus didn't die for himself, he died for you and me. Jesus died on the cross, so that we could live eternally with God. He died to forgive our sins and reconcile us with God. He will help you when you are struggling and give you strength when the going gets tough. **Reason why Jesus dies for our sins** There are many reasons why Jesus died for our sins on the cross of Calvary. **To overcome Satan** The death and resurrection of christ defeated satan. The Bible says that Jesus came to defeat Satan. "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil" **So we can have eternal life** **To know God intimately** **That we might have peace with God** But more than that, Jesus died for you and me. A loving and all powerful God who made us in His image wanted to be close to us. In fact, the Bible made it known that God loved us do much to the extent of giving up Jesus to die for us. Jesus loved us so much that He was willing to lay down His life for us, even though we were sinners. **Closing thought** It is up to us to live a life worthy of the sacrifice He made on Calvary's cross. So let's not make the same mistake Peter did and miss this incredible offer of grace God is offering us. When Jesus comes again, it will be too late to change your mind and decide to follow Him. After Jesus died, he rose again on the third day and later ascended into Heaven, where He now sits at the right hand of the Father. We as believers have been given the Holy Spirit to live in us, which gives us access to God's power. The Holy Spirit does not take the place of Jesus; He is living proof that Jesus lives. **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

A football week of rants, chants and bants. Hey readers, how are you all doing? This week is a very great one in the aspect of football. All over the world, some fans were bursting with their levels of excitement this past week. It's a great football week all over Europe. In the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League, The FA Cup and UEFA Europa champions league. **Chelsea fans Ranting, Realmadrid fans chanting, anti-chelsea fans Banting.** On Tuesday we got the sides of football with chants and bants in the Champions league match between Real Madrid and Chelsea FC. In the first leg of the champions league quarter finals, Realmadrid won us (Chelsea) with 3 goals to 1. The three goals were scored by Kareem Benzema. I said us there because I'm a Chelsea fan as well. And then in the second leg, the Chelsea players came with full force and were leading 3 goals to nil till the 80th minute. Before them the Chelsea fans were **chanting!!** Up blues!!! The sky is blue!!!. But in the 80th minute, Chelsea fans began to **rant** after they conceded the first goal which was scored by Rodrigo with a great assist from Lucas modric. The match went into an extra time due to the tie in the score (aggregate score). Then everything turned around. Karen Benzema scored the 2nd goal for Real Madrid. The there were **Rants, chants** and **Bants** going on at the same time. `Chelsea fans were ranting, complaining about how careless the players were to allow Realmadrid to be ahead.` `Real Madrid fans were chanting Halla Madrid!! Rejoicing over their victory.` `While the anti-chelsea fans (Man u fans, with the likes of` @Jumper-01 `, Arsenal fans, and Barca fans Like` @HappyBoy `) were Banting Chelsea. They were happy for our loss. But what could we do? It is football, anything can happen.` **Bayern Munich fans Ranting, Villarreal Chanting** This same Tuesday, Bayern Munich were unexpectedly disqualified by Villarreal. After Robert lewandoski's goal which made it 1-1 on aggregate. Every one thought it was going to be Remontada (come-back) for Bayern Munich. But Nigeria's Chukwueze scored the winning goal for villareal in the 88th minute. The chanting Bayern fans began to rant. So funny how life changes, there is always only seconds between happiness and sorrow. On Wednesday, though the winners were obvious already. Manchester city dominated Athletico Madrid in the first leg, then they came for a 0-0 draw in the 2nd leg. Liverpool after winning Benfica 3-1 in the first leg, played a 3-3 draw in the second leg. Making 6-4 on aggregate. Barcelona's defeat against Frankfurt brought a lot of bants on them The unbeaten run of xavi and Barcelona as a team was destroyed by a German club Frankfurt. An underdog team which no one expected will cause the downfall of Barcelona. `Their Loss gave the Chelsea fans and Manchester United fans an avenue to return their bants. Frankfurt dominated camp Nou and won Barcelona 3 goals to 2,asking 4-3 on aggregate.` `It was all about chants all through for the The Frankfurt football club right from the beginning of the match.` `It was otherwise for the Barca fans as they began to rant.` **Liverpool vs Manchester City** Fast-forward to today's FA cup match between Liverpool and Manchester city. Manchester city wore Manchester United's shoe today and played like a 2nd division team. Liverpool led them in the first half with 3 goals to nil. Then in the second half Manchester city and were trying something that looks like comeback. But it was to no prevail as the final score was 3-2. Last week, the two teams met in the premier league and drew 2-2 and Manchester city dominated. No one expected this loss from Manchester city. Though Liverpool are also a great team, but the goals conceded by Manchester city were not expected. Glory Glory Man united. Glory to God, their glory had finally shone after a long run of losses and draws. I'm happy for the team though especially **Cristiano Ronaldo** who scored a treble with a fantastic free kick. There is nothing left to bant on the team, they have suffered enough. Let them enjoy this victory. I sincerely celebrate with them today. That's a wrap for this week in football world. Remember, football is a game of love, so let us all know it is just a game of fun and cruise and let us not take anything personal. **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

Good days gives you happiness, bad days gives you experience Have you ever had a day when nothing goes right? From the morning when you look at the mirror and wonder why you have woken up so early to the last thing you do before you sleep, everything goes wrong. Either your friends in school made you angry, your colleagues at work are jealous and your friends gossip about you behind your back. You know that feeling in your stomach where you'll feel like quitting. You don't want to get out of bed because everything seems too hard. Maybe you were rejected, maybe you lost something or even worse someone. But then again, these are the days when you end up learning something new about yourself. They are days that make you stronger. It is okay if your day is bad. No one is perfect and that's what makes us human. What matters most is how we react to the obstacles we face in life. As a wise man once said, "Good day should bring you happiness, bad days should give you experience. Facing difficulties is inevitable,therefore, good days and bad days are both experiences. When we face difficulties, we can take advantage of them to improve ourselves and our lives. Bad days are not wasted if we can find ways to turn them into good ones. To have happy days, we need to do what we love to do, with people we love to be with. We need to meet new people and make friends. We need to go new places, explore something new. The feeling of success and happiness is not the only thing that can be achieved in life. It's always good to have your own ways to deal with all the obstacles in life. It's good to have a positive attitude and practice it all the time. Having a good day is a choice you make, you decide how you want it to be. There will be bad days and days when you're going to lose hope, but it is not the end. **More reasons why you should always have a good day:** *1. A good day will help you gain confidence.* *2. A good day will help you become more optimistic and wise.* *3. A good day gives you an opportunity to interact with more people and to make new friends.* *4. A good day means that you have earned success, although sometimes you may not feel it.* *5. A good day gives you energy, helps you stay healthy and improves your immune system.* *6. A good day means that you are able to achieve more than a bad day would give you.* *7. A good day helps you keep balance in life.* You may not see any results when you want to become happier, but when you get a setback, you will get your lesson learn. Bad days give us experience and make our life full of wisdom. It's part of the process that make our life meaningful. We should keep a positive attitude and let the bad days give us lessons that we can make changes in our life. So is the bad days can make you happy in your life. Every day, when we open the morning, we need to think that today is going to be a good day! Good day is a day with something new and exciting that makes us happy. Bad days also come unexpected and throw us off course. We should accept it as another challenge in life. Bad days can bring us new opportunities, meet new people and have better life experiences. When you get through it, you will be more happy than before because you have overcome it with wisdom and experience. **In conclusion** In the end, our life is a balance between good days and bad days. It is up to you how you manage the bad days. If you let them get the best of you, they will add up and become more than just a few bad days. But if you take each day as it comes and learn from it, you will notice that it's up to you whether your days are good or bad. And at the end of the day, we are all human beings and we are all going through different things, different kinds of experiences and journeys in life. You never know what your loved ones have been through, what they're going through or what they will go through. So when you look at others from an outsider's perspective, don't judge them for their choices, ask yourself what their day is like and how you can help them with it instead. Good days give us happiness but bad days give us experiences. **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

To succeed in trading, a trader needs to have specific knowledge on facts that can help him gain profits. Everybody is talking about cryptocurrencies. The skyrocketing value of BitcoinCash and other cryptocurrencies, such as Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin, has gotten many people interested in investing in them. But very few people understand how to invest in cryptocurrency and what are the factors that they need to consider while choosing which cryptocurrency to invest in. **Image source** https://unsplash.com/photos/3MYtQgVI-Gw **Let’s discuss some of these factors.** **First,** let's consider the question: what is cryptocurrency? Cryptocurrency is a digital asset that can be used instead of the physical currency. Crypto-currency can be used to execute transactions without involving banks, credit and accounting institutions, which allows investors to have more control over their funds. **Factors which should be considered while choosing cryptocurrency to invest** Cryptocurrencies are without a doubt going to be the future of finance, but only the ones that can get **mass adoption** will hit their respective price targets. Therefore the most important factor you need to look out for is ***how well the coin is doing in the market and how strong is its infrastructure.*** Since there are several crypto coins being emerged on daily basis, it's very difficult for a new investor to choose the right coin to invest in. Most people think that investing in a currency with a good market cap will yield them good returns. But investing in coins with a large market cap doesn't guarantee that you'll reap huge profits. **Image source** https://unsplash.com/photos/y3FRkhP-UgY You need to do thorough research before you invest in any cryptocurrency because some coins are scams or risky in nature. 1. **Understand the basic mechanics of cryptocurrency and trading** **2. Learn to differentiate between the various types of cryptocurrencies** **3. Learn the trading platforms available** **4. Get a basic understanding of what will help you identify a good cryptocurrency to invest in** **5. Get a good crypto wallet to keep your cryptocurrency safe.** **6. Ensure you invest in the right cryptocurrency or token in order not to get scammed.** ****In conclusion**** Investing in cryptocurrency is and always will be risky. You could lose all of your investment, but if you manage your risk well and start only with a small portion of your net worth, you can still become a millionaire in the next decade. Invest only what you are willing to lose. Many people have lost a significant amount of money on cryptocurrency exchanges. If you're looking to invest in cryptocurrency, please make sure to research on what you're doing and always prioritise security. **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

No matter where you go, remember the road that leads you home. Home is where the heart is. It is where we find meaning and peace of mind. But it is also where we take our first steps and set our first steps on a journey. For many, home is simply a place to sleep and a place to be hidden. But I believe Home is the foundation from which all things are built. Home is the nest from which we fly. When you leave home for a new place, it can be an exciting adventure. It can also be lonely, stressful and isolating. There is no place like home. Home is the only place you can truly be you. Where your life direction, goals, interests and passions are all aligned. **There is no place like home.** I know how it feels when you are far from home, when you are out on the road. You see new places, meet new people and see magnificent things but there is this ache in your heart that tells you that no matter how interesting travel can be, there is no place like home. Home is the place you return to after a long day. Home is where you get the chance to recharge. At home you have the chance to share stories from there with people who live and love where you are now. A fascinating journey is a matter of pleasure. it is great to spend time outside a comfort zone, and to get to know new cultures, places and people. The problem is that those journeys sometimes could be tiring and even dangerous. The worst thing that can happen to you is getting lost somewhere in the wrong direction, forgetting where you are, who you are and what you are doing there. Getting lost causes fear, stress and anxiety. There is no place like home and if you get lost you should go back immediately. I was always very curious about choosing directions and going somewhere new, but I also remember that I was never being lost when I was going home. Even if I did not have any sense of orientation or navigation system help, I always find my way home. If things were getting rough and even if things seem difficult now and if you feel lost go back because no matter how interesting the journey could seem, there is no place like home. **There are times when we all feel lost and out of place.** Those feelings quickly become overwhelming. You may feel like you are on a never-ending journey, but no matter where you go, always remember that the road that leads you home is not the same road as everyone else. Sometimes, going home is not the easiest path to take, but the only thing you can be sure of is that if you keep moving towards your goal and never give up, you will find yourself back where you belong. ***No matter where you go, remember you are from somewhere. Never forget the road that leads you home.*** **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

How to make women happy I've observed that women are very instinctive creatures. This makes them fascinating as well as unpredictable, especially if you're a guy. From an early age, girls develop an ability to know what other people are feeling. They're great at it because they're curious about other people and want to know more about them, but also because they have a natural intuition. They can often sense what people want by reading their body language and the tone of their voice. **And I can tell you that the secret to making women happy is to know what they want and give it to them.** There is a lot you can do to make them happy. They want to feel loved and appreciated, but above all, they want trust and genuine care for their feelings. I'm here to tell you how you can make your woman happy every single day. There are a couple of things that always come up about relationships. The first one is that everyone wants women to be as simple as men, but women are not as simple. It's not that they are difficult; they simply have different needs than men. The good news is that you can improve your chances of success with women when you understand what they want and you don't try to make them into something they're not. Women can be very complicated creatures and their behavior may greatly depend on the mood they're in at the moment. They may be happy just because they woke up in the morning and saw the sun shining through their window, or they may be sad if they just got broken up with. It's all very confusing, but it's not impossible to figure out what makes these amazing creatures tick. **The cycle of a woman's life** For every woman there is a specific period in her life that can make her very unhappy. During this time when they are unhappy, sometimes it is best to completely stay close to them. She might want to constantly talk about her feelings. Sometimes, even if you're a supportive boyfriend/man/husband, it's hard to figure out how to best help a girl who is unhappy. It may be that she keeps talking about her feelings but you don't know what to say in response. **What makes a woman happy** She might be discriminating against you, don't take it personally. She doesn't want to be alone, so stick around. Let her know that you care. If she asks you to make some coffee or bring her something, do it quickly and with a smile. If she doesn't mention anything then just be attentive to her needs. When she is ready to talk, give her your undivided attention. Make sure everything else is done. Don't just let the dishes sit there and watch TV while she is talking about something important. Giving her your attention for an extended period of time will show her that you love her and make her feel special. Finally, if you are feeling pain due to the situation, don't express it to her! It will only make her feel bad and make her feel worse. So just stay supportive and loving and she should feel better in a few days. But if she doesn’t want to talk or need time alone, then don’t force the issue. Just make sure she knows you are there for her. When a woman is sad, she wants to be treated in a different manner than someone who is happy. If a woman is happy, she loves to show off her happiness and will enjoy sharing it with others. She enjoys taking on new projects and will feel motivated to start them. Happiness can also be expressed with words or actions, depending on the situation. If she talks about the future, then she is happy. But if she doesn't mention the future at all, that means she isn't happy. **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

Fruit of the spirit 2 Hey readers, Happy palm Sunday to you all. Last week I talked about the first four fruits of the spirit, Love, joy, peace and patience. And this week I will be talking about some other five, Which are; **Kindness,** **Goodness,** **Faithfulness,** **Gentleness and,** **Self-control.** *The scripture can be found in Galatians 5: 22-23* **Kindness** Kindness is made up of small things. The word itself is a synonym for blessing, a salutation, the act of favouring someone or something. Kindness is the opposite pole on the magnet of negativity. It’s a small gesture, almost meaningless but can be far-reaching in effect. Excuse me. Please? Thank you. I’m sorry. If a stranger on the street was kind to you today, chances are that you would remember it. Even though they meant no harm by it, being nice to people can have an effect on the world around you that other actions may not. **Goodness** Godness can be defined in 3 ways: Biblically "the quality of being godly", the state or character of the Christian. In philosophy, goodness that does not depend on the physical universe, e.g., goodness as opposed to pleasure. In positive psychology, goodness that is equated with mental health; i.e., goodness as opposed to evil or badness. Faithfulness Faithfulness is a fruit of the spirit. The Bible says that we are to be faithful to one another in love (Galatians 5:22). That means that we are to honor, respect, and value each person in our lives. This is the best way to fulfill the desire of Christ to help others in a selfless, giving way. The Bible has a lot to say about our relationship with God and how He interacts with us. In many places in the Bible, we’re told to be faithful to God. But what does this mean? Faithfulness means we don’t stray away from God, that we don’t settle for second best or seek other people out. It means we stay committed to the vows and promises we made when we pledged ourselves to Him. **Gentleness** Gentleness is the state of being gentle, its origin is in the heart; it is the soul of compassion. It stirs us to action when someone is in need. It gives us strength to meet the demands of our daily lives. It helps us bear with the imperfections of others. Gentleness is one of those things that we’re all longing for, but don’t know how to achieve. But what if gentleness was our default response to everything? We can’t be gentle all the time and I certainly wasn’t before I started meditating, but what if we could? It doesn’t matter where you want to be gentle. Gentleness will help you. In the moment you become aware of an impulse or thought that is out of alignment with gentleness, you can do something different. The very act of noticing shifts your momentum and you are already stepping out of the current. In that space you can choose how to respond. Sometimes it takes a little longer and it’s not always easy, but it’s nearly always worth it. To cultivate gentleness, one requires only two things. First, "never lose sight of one's original nature", which is also known as one's real self or original face. Second, recognize that all things have a spirit and treat them accordingly, with compassion and respect. **Self-control** Self-control is the ability to manage your emotions and desires, especially when doing so is counter-productive or requires patience. That’s a good thing. Without self-control, we’re slaves to jealousy and unmet desires, not in control of our decisions. It's okay to feel emotional. Everyone does. But that doesn't mean we can let our emotions rule our lives. We need to have self-control, to manage ourselves and our emotions with discipline. We need to have self-control. You may not see it as a problem. If you see it as a problem you may want to know why others don't see it as a issue. It is obvious that self-control is important to life. When we want something, we tend to want everything about it. If we don't have self-control, it is easy to make a rash decision. We are going to continue with this topic because I think it is important to understand what self-control looks like in real life. **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

Pride goes before a fall This is a famous proverb **"Pride goes before a fall"** There was a village once where lived a man, who believed that he was the wisest person in the village because he is the only learned person. The wise man was full of pride, arrogance, and vanity that he thought he was the wisest person in the whole world. He used to say that he knows everything, no one can challenge him. His knowledge and intelligence were so high that the people of the village used to respect him very much and he was famous among them. Every day he would walk around the village and tell everyone how wise he was and boasting that no one is as wise as he is. The man thought highly of himself as he was the only learned person in the village. Always he was seen wearing white clothes and basking in his own glory. The village people used to come to him for solutions to their problems. Mostly they came asking him to provide solutions to practical issues like how to cure a stubborn cow, a poor harvest, or a snake in their garden. Sometimes they came with more philosophical questions such as “Why do we die?” and “Who created the world?” The wise man would answer all their questions patiently and then he would end his answers with, no one is wiser than me. His good deeds were only for show and society was well aware of this. Even then, no one cared, so far he was giving solution to their problems. Day by day, the wise man's arrogance grew more and more. Sometimes he wouldn't even attend to the villagers problem, instead he will be asking for the biggest animals and biggest harvest before he answers them. This annoyed the villagers. One day a boy walked up to him and said he can prove to the wise man that he is wiser than him. I want to challenge you "he said" The wise man laughed with pride and said `"who are you? Who is your father."` (still laughing). The boy did not get disturbed; instead he smiled at the wise man and said with confidence `"My name is Samuel and my father's name is Abraham" do you wish to know my mother's name?` "He asked". The wise man saw the boy's confidence and knew the boy wasn't joking with the challenge. Due to pride, the wise man agreed to the boy's challenge. The wise man did not believe him because he thought that no one could challenge his intelligence. He had never been challenged by anyone before. Therefore, he accepted and said, "I am waiting for your challenge." The boy started thinking for a moment and then said, "Yes I have a challenge for you." The boy then continued, "If you are so intelligent then tell me which leg I will first move when I will walk? now let’s see who is actually more intelligent." The wise man got puzzled and he thought that how can any human being know that another human being will move the left leg first and then the right leg. But he wanted to show that he is more intelligent than the boy so he said confidently, "You will move your left leg first." The boy then smiled and moved his right leg first. He proved the wise man wrong. Then the boy walked away happily having won the challenge by tricking the wise man as it was not possible for anyone to know about the movement of legs of another person even before that person would move those legs. The wise man realized that despite all his wisdom he was still fooled by the little boy. The following morning,he packed his things and left the village with shame. Moral lesson: ***Pride goes before a fall. We shouldn't be proud. Anyone who refuses to stop being proud will face the same fate as the wise man.*** **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

The day I lost my phone ( never get too attached to your phone) The day I lost my phone is one I will never forget. It was a day when I realized life would be if technology suddenly disappears. It was an unforgettable day in my life On this fateful day, It was a hot afternoon in December 2020. My dad sent me an errand to go and help him buy some things. The place I were to go was far from home, so I had to take a cab to the place. I went to the place he sent me to, buy what he asked me to buy. During that time I was getting the items for my dad, my phone was in my pocket. As I entered a cab to go back home, I could still feel the phone in my pocket. Suddenly, from no-where a young man just entered the cab as well and said he is going the same direction. I should have known he had a mission with the way he rushed into the car by not allowing any other person to get in before him. But I never saw the man as a thief because he dressed corporately, with a neatly pressed shirt and a proper trouser. He was holding a bag, so I thought he was coming back from office. On a normal day, I would be pressing my phone while in the cab, but due to items I went to get for my dad, I couldn't bring my phone out because the bag of items was heavy. I got to my destination, got down from the cab lifting the heavy load up. As I was coming down from the car, **the man took the phone out of my pocket with finesse.** He is an expert in stealing, because while I was getting down he was saying *"oh be careful! The load is heavy! Be careful".* I never knew he was diverting my attention away from the phone. Before I noticed my phone was missing, the cab man had gone already. I immediately dropped the load on my head and ran after the cab. The cab man didn't see me running, he could have waited. I finally got to the last bust stop chasing the cab. I checked the car and the man was gone, there was no phone on the car seat. I asked the cab man where the man passed, and immediately the cab man came out to point the direction he went towards. But to our surprise, the man was no where to be found. It shocked the cab man as he said ***"I dropped him here few seconds ago".*** The cab man felt sorry for me and said if he had known he would have helped me stopped the thief. I became weak when I realized my phone was gone. I couldn't think straight, I first sat on the slab beside the road. I felt like crying right away. After a while I went back to where I dropped the load and went back home with sadness. When I got home, I told everyone at home my phone had been stolen. They all felt pity for me. But what I was feeling inside of me was unexplainable. Throughout that day even till the second day, I called the phone hoping that someone would pick up the call and tell me where it was. But like I said, he was an expert, he probably removed the sim cards and threw them away. **My phone was my lifeline, a connection to people, a way to connect with them. It was an unforgettable day in my life. All my files were gone with it, I felt like a part of me had vanished.** That experience taught me many things especially never to get too attached to things. I was too attached to the phone that I couldn't eat that day. My siblings were pressing their phone while I was watching them with pain in my heart. A week after, my elder brother surprised me with a new phone. It was even better than the stolen one. I was very happy, my other part has been restored. Even without pressing phone, the feeling that you have a phone is enough. **In conclusion** All I'll say is that, don't get too attached to things. Because if you loose that thing, your heart might get broken beyond repair. **Question:** Have you ever lost your phone? And how did you feel? **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

Hayya Hayya (Better Together) First of all, the title above is the title of the official music for the FIFA world cup Qatar 2022. The song is a very interesting and the lyrics are great because it was sang by great artistes, Trinidad Cardona, Davido and Aisha. **You can listen to the song here** 👇👇👇👇It is the official FIFA YouTube page. https://youtu.be/vyDjFVZgJoo There is a great lesson to learn from this team. As we all know, when it comes to football (especially fifa world cup) the whole continent comes together to participate in one competition. Regardless of the body color, Africans, Asians, Europeans, and all other continent will all go to specific country to play the FIFA world cup. **We are better together** So often, we go through life thinking that we have to do it all by ourselves. The truth is, we're all better when we do it together. When we do things together, even just for half an hour, we feel happier and more successful. Whether you're running a business or just sharing a meal with friends, it's the simple things that make all the difference. We are stronger than our differences. We are better together. No one can do everything alone, but together we can do anything. It's up to me and you to change the world, one act of kindness at a time. No one can achieve his or her dreams alone. By joining forces, we can achieve far more than each of us could on our own. We were born alone and we will die alone. But, with a little help from your friends, you can go to the moon. We can achieve more together than we can achieve alone. We share the same passion and this is what links us together. Let us spread the message of unity and love. Whether you work in service, education, retail, or any other industry, we should all be working together to make our world a better place. A toxic work environment and workplace culture can affect anyone. Workplace violence, bullying and harassment all come from the same place and they can be stopped. Life is a journey and there are times when we will all need a little help along the way, from people when we aren't enough for ourselves. And if you're not saying anything nice about yourself and your life, then why do you think anyone else will? We are better together. Words matter. They can change things and make the impossible, possible. You and I are the same thing which cannot be divided. Only a true team can rise above the rest! **Together**, we can do anything. **Together**, we can make both of our lives better for everyone else. We are better together. The time is now or never. The time to build meaningful relationships and networks. Be the change do not wait for someone else to bring about the change. You can be that change. Today is the day you decide to make a difference in your life and the lives of those around you. We are better together ❤️ **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

BitcoinCash: Why I prefer BitcoinCash A friend of mine, who had invested in Bitcoin a long time ago, told me about BitcoinCash some months back. I had casually heard about it, but never got the opportunity to understand it. He shared with me his excitement over Bitcoin Cash and how he had made a lot of profits. He explained some of the basics which made me have more interest in BCH. So the first thing I did was to read up on BCH. I was surprised to find out some amazing facts about it. BitcoinCash is a digital currency, a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain that was created to create a global peer to peer electronic cash system. BitcoinCash...is called "cash" because it's a type of payment system. People can transfer it online easily through the internet without involving a third party like a bank. I now save my money in BCH, instead of local bank. Though I have some money in my local bank too. But the main deal is in BitcoinCash. I am not against banks but I don't trust them either because they are not transparent enough, which is why I save in BCH. **So why did I prefer BitcoinCash? Below are the reasons** **1. BitcoinCash is reliable** BitcoinCash is reliable. Because the BitcoinCash network can handle higher transaction volume than its counterpart, people and businesses can reliably make transactions without worry of network cost. **2. BitcoinCash transactions are fast:** BitcoinCash also enables one to make transaction and make payments with anyone anywhere in the world instantly at very low cost. It is multiple times faster than some other cryptos and still cheaper than current bank transfers. **3. It is good for merchants** BitcoinCash has proven to be good for merchant, that it is a great payment solution for the world. It is good for merchant, as it increases the number of people who can use their services and it is good for consumers. **4. Decentralised** BitcoinCash is a peer-to-peer electronic cash for the Internet. It is fully decentralized, with no central bank and requires no trusted third parties to operate. BCH is the upgrade Bitcoin needs to scale effectively. For me, decentralization is important as it relates to freedom on the Internet which is basically what cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology offers. **5. Confirmation time** Confirmation time means the specific amount of time it takes for a transaction to be confirmed on the blockchain ledger and have cash-in-hand after making a cryptocurrency transaction. For example: If you made any other crypto transaction confirmed within 3 minutes, BitcoinCash would provide confirmation for you in a time lesser that other cryptos. Those 5 reasons stated above are why I have been a strong supporter of BCH from the beginning. **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

First impression last longer People judge others within the first few seconds of meeting them and those impressions are almost always wrong. We may not even realize how false these impressions can be until we find ourselves facing an overdose of information about something that we previously knew very little about. The way you dress, the way you talk, and even the way you tone signal to others what kind of person you are. Whether it’s during a job interview, an important meeting, or even a first date, making a positive first impression can lead to better opportunities **and yes, even love**. `My pastor told a story of a lady who has been looking for job for a long time. She had gone to different companies to submit her CV but still wasn't offered any Job. When God finally decide to answer her and give her a job, the first impression she gave made her loose the job.` `She was called on the phone by one of the companies she submitted her CV to. Below is the conversation between her and the company's manager.` `On phone...(the lady saw an unknown number calling her and didn't pick at first, she picked it when the person called for the 3rd time)` `Manager: Hello ma` `The lady: Hello (in a harsh manner)` `Manager: Am I on to Miss Rebecca` `The lady: So you know my name, why asking if I'm miss Rebecca again. Go straight to the point or I'll hang up the call.` `Manager: Ohh sorry ma'am. I'm calling from the bottling company you submitted your CV too. But you've shown your true character. Good luck to you, we would find another person for the job` `The lady: I'm sorr....y. (the manager hangs up the call)` `The lady's first impression made her loose the job. She might not be someone harsh for real. But because of the way she reacted when the manager called her, she lost the job. That character is what the manager will always see in her.` **Dress the way you want to be addressed** There has been studies which says that people tend to remember first thing they see, study the second thing and understand third thing they see. So the way you present yourself the first time matters a lot. If the first time someone is seeing you, you dressed in an inappropriate way, that first impression is what such person will see you as for a long time. Even if you later dress well, the person will always view you in the inappropriate dress he/she first saw you on. The same works vice-versa. If you dress well the first time you are meeting a person. The person will always picture you in a decent dress. Even if you are far from each other, and the person doesn't know how you dress after that day, the decent dress will always be in the person's mind. **In conclusion:** Let's face it, people have a prejudice when it comes to what you're wearing and how you look. If you're wearing ripped jeans, sports shoes and a hoodie, you are judged as a drug addict or unemployed. If you're wearing formal clothing, such as those worn by lawyers, bankers and doctors, then you are judged to be the creme de la creme of society. We all work hard to make a first good impression. But chances are, you might already be judged by the way you look. We only have one life to live, so don't let your first impression ruin it for you. Just be yourself.

With great power comes great responsibility “With great power comes great responsibility” This is a sentence that means when you have a lot of power or influence you have a great responsibility lying ahead of you and you must be very careful how you use it. This quote is a very good one because it reminds people that power and influence can be very dangerous if not used well. It also reminds us to be very careful with the things that we have that can cause a lot of damage. **"With great power comes great responsibility"** was said in all Marvel's Spiderman movies. In the story of the first spiderman, acted by Tobey Maguire. Peter Parker's uncle Ben told him that; "***with great power comes great responsibility.*** In the story of the Amazing spiderman, acted by Andrew Garfield. Peter parker's aunt may told him that; ***"with great power comes great responsibility"*** And lastly in the newest spiderman acted by Tom Holland. Peter parker's Aunt May told him in "No way home" that; ***"with great power comes great responsibility"*** In all those movies Spiderman uses his special powers to help people. He saves a lot of people who were being attacked by bad guys. And he saves a girl when she falls off a ledge and he catches her so she won't get hurt. The spidermen grew up to help people and defeat evil. That is the responsibility the their powers bestowed on them. They need to make use of the powers responsibly. There is no running away form making use of the power. It's either the power is used in the right way or the other way around. ****This saying can be applied to the things we say, the people we hang out with, and the things we do.**** **If you have a lot of money,** you have a responsibility to use it wisely. It is not okay for you to waste it. There are people that will come to you for help, that is a great responsibility. Because you have the money for a reason. **If you are smart and able to get good grades in school**, you have a responsibility to keep your grades up so you can get into college and have a bright future ahead of you. Also, you have the responsibility to make others better also by teaching them to be good/better like you. **This saying also seems to fit with being a parent,** because parents have great power over their children and abuse this power at times by either not listening to them or making them do something they don't want to do. When people come into contact with someone who has great power, they might be afraid of that person, especially if they've been hurt by someone with great power before. **In conclusion:** ***"With great power comes great responsibility"*** This little sentence means when we have the ability to do good and to spread our creativity and talent to others, we should use that power wisely. While we were growing up, we are told that there will be challenges along the way but we never realize that we may have to go through many difficulties before our success comes. We always have great plans for our future but when our time comes, we end up thinking that life is out to get us but when you look deeply into people's stories you'll realize how strong one's mind can be during hard times. The world has some pretty big problems, problems like Racism, Sexism, Poverty, and so on... People with great power can stop any of these in one way or the other. So many people on this planet have great power and influence, but with that great power comes great responsibility. It is up to each of us to use our great power and influence in the right way. We have a responsibility to make sure that we are using our influence and power to make the world a better place. ****Remember**** ***"with great power comes great responsibility"*** **Thanks for reading 💌💌**

Fruit of the spirit Happy Sunday to you readers, today is the first Sunday in the month of April, let me take this time to wish you happy new month once again. We all know what is called fruits. There are lot of fruits in the this world. We all have our own specific fruit that we like the most. As for me, I have more interest in oranges and pineapples. Speaking of Fruit of the Spirit, we aren't talking about the fruits we eat. The bible in Galatians 5: 22-23 said this; *"But the fruit of the Spirit is* ***love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.*** *Against such there is no law"* I would be talking about the first four fruit of the spirit in this article while the rest will be saved for next week. **✓ Love, ✓ Joy, ✓ Peace, ✓ Long-suffering.** **★ Love** Love is the most important thing in the world. If you have love in your life, then all things will be easy, no matter what your troubles are. Love is a great teacher, and if you fall, love will lift you up. Your smile can be your only shield, and your pain can be an inspiration to others. Love means that everyone's kindness and everyone's heart has a place. Love is to respect each other, to support each other, and to share each other's happiness and pain. Love is a very important part of our life. We can not live without loving and loving us. We need to love each other because it's the best thing we have in our lives. That is why it is part of the 10 commandments that we should love our neighbors as ourselves. **★ Joy** Joy is the only emotion that is given to us without any reason whatsoever. We experience it from within. We don’t make it. It’s a gift that we are born with, an inheritance more valuable than wealth and fame. Joy is the strength that helps us experience and appreciate beauty. Joy is the heartthrob that makes us feel truly alive. Joy gives meaning to our lives. Joy is a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. Joy is a feeling of wholeness, completeness, and inner peace. This feeling is indescribable; words simply can’t do it justice. The Bible says in Psalms 33:1, *"Rejoice in the presence of the Lord, oh you righteous ones; praise befits the upright"*. In other words, don’t just feel joy; let it flow out of you, to those around you and let them experience it too. **★ Peace** Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. A world of peace must be built upon the unhampered growth of all its peoples in every part of the earth. So that all men may reach their fullest stature and become the best they were created to be, there must be a lifting of the crushing burden of poverty. Let us all be magnanimous, to put an end to the conflict in the world; to work for an abundance which will benefit all mankind and make peace reign. ★ **Long suffering** According to the dictionary, long-suffering is Long, patient endurance of insult, abuse or mistreatment. Which simply means being able to endure any circumstances. Long-suffering is described in two ways: (1) as a fruit of the Spirit or (2) as evidence of the presence of grace. Long-suffering is the attitude of someone who endures with patience and meekness. It is the attitude of one who accepts suffering as a means to an end and who knows that God works all things together for good (Romans 8:28). Long-suffering is not a sign of weakness; it is a sign of strength. It is patience that makes us tolerant of others' faults and slow to anger in a sinful world. And it is the source of **joy**. When referring to the fruit of the Spirit, long-suffering is paired with love. Without love, patience becomes apathetic and without patience, love becomes emotional and ill-motivated. Thanks to @foryoubtc09 for the sponsorship. Thanks for showing love. In conclusion *Let us be* ***Joyful*** *in whatever we do and bring* ***peace*** *to those around us.* *Choose to love,* *Choose to make peace,* *Choose to be joyful,* *Choose to endure,* *Love yourself and others,* *Love everyone just the same.* *Love despite differences.* *Love within your family and friends.* *Love your country and community.* *Love yourself and others without any expectations.* **Thanks for reading ❤️❤️**

Eliminate "can't" from your vocabulary **Can't** - that little word that trots along with us, in our minds, in our speech, and in the plans we make. It can become a habit so engrained that it becomes part of our vocabulary without us even realizing it. Today, I want to challenge you to eliminate "can't" from your vocabulary. Make the switch from can't to can. You may ask why? Because when we say I can't, everything else in the sentence is false, Absurd and impractical. Claiming you can't do something is absurd and impractical. Saying you can't do something you wished you can do is impossible is not just ridiculous it's downright false. As a friend of mine shared with me recently, **whether you can't or you won't is a choice**. Whether you see obstacles or roadblocks, or you see challenges to be overcome. Whether you call yourself creative or think yourself capable, the mindset of your life is yours for the making. And yours for the living. We all have something that stopped us from doing something in our life, most of the time we call it **can't**. Everytime you say or have said "I can't do it" , there was an action you took or a decision that was made against doing what it was that you've thought you can't do. You aren't born with a desire to be lazy or not to move forward. But what made people give up is the unfortunate moments they felt they were alone and that they should be the only one fighting their battles. The thing is, life is a battle, everyone has different battles, some harder than others. What we need to do is find the people that have the same battle, just like you and fight with them instead of fighting alone. Know that one thing that you think is stopping you? It's just an excuse. And what do we need when we have a battle in front of us? It's a fact! We need facts to encourage us and make us believe that we are worth it, that we can do it and that if someone else has done it, so can we! ***The good news is that you can change the "can't" to "can" today by;*** **Step 1:** Change your routine and your actions. **Step 2:** Write down your goals and how you plan to achieve them and visualize yourself achieving your goals. **Step 3:** Reward yourself when you stick to your routine and attain your goals. **Step 4:** Share your plans with friends and family to keep yourself accountable. **Step 5:** Take every negative thought or feeling and turn it into a positive one. **Step 6:** Remember that there are no shortcuts or quick fixes, but with hard work and faith in yourself you will see amazing results! The best outcomes come from the most basic beginnings, so don't be afraid to take a big first step. There's too much at stake not to give it everything you've got. Consider this, if you have the desire, motivation and passion to work for something, then go ahead and do so! Don't let anyone hold you down or tell you that you can’t do it because life is too short for feeling like you've already failed at something before you even started on it. Letting go of can't is really about taking control of our mindset. Instead of telling ourselves we can't do something, revising our attitude to tell ourselves we can. **This is easier said than done, but here are a few examples on how we might apply this principle in our daily lives:** **★I'm going to lose weight:** I will go out for a walk and exercise every day because I can lose weight! **★I can get out of debt**: I'm going to review my budget every month and reduce my debt: I will have less debt because I'm the one who manages the budget. **★I can make new friends:** When an opportunity arises to meet new people, I will take it because of my ability to make new friends. **★I can get better at my job:** I won't let my joblessness weigh me down. I will go out and look for a job and get myself up. If you are passing through any of those, say it to yourself today that you can. In conclusion We all can't do a lot of things initially, but eventually we can. The universe has infinite possibilities and you have the ability to go after any one of them. When we tell ourselves we can't do something, it stops us from working towards something worthwhile and meaningful. Switch the can't to can in your own life and see what happens. Eliminate **"can't"** from your vocabulary. **Thanks for reading ❤️**

Never have I ever (student Edition) Hey readers, how are you all doing. I don't know what the time might be in your country, but we have few hours before we get into a new month. So I'm wishing you happy new month in advance. So I've been stumbling on this challenge for the past few days titled **Never have I ever (Student Edition)**. Here are some of the ones I came across **Never have I ever** by Kleah97 https://read.cash/@Kleah97/entry-never-have-i-ever-have-challenge-student-edition-a8976da2 **Never have I ever** by JustMaryel https://read.cash/@JustMaryel/touch-down-never-have-i-ever-17e9e0c3#skipped-a-class **Never have I ever** by TheBlackDoll https://read.cash/@Theblackdoll/never-have-i-ever-student-version-831c1d5b **Never have I ever** by Jumper-01 https://read.cash/@Jumper-01/never-have-i-ever-student-version-2b8d3ffa **Never have I ever** by princessbusayo https://read.cash/@Princessbusayo/never-have-i-ever-student-version-049a3e41 I think I should jump on this challenge too before it is too late. I'll be writing this based ony primary school and secondary school. Because lot of things have changed after high school and things can't be compared to how it is now in higher institution. *Now let's get to my take on the Never have I ever...* **Skipped a class** I never skipped a class when I was in secondary school. My attendance is always 100%. If peradventure it is lesser than 100%, then I was probably sick or maybe I travelled for something important. I never missed school and I never skipped class. Infact here are days that I might be sick and woul be told to go to the sick bay to rest, but still I would refuse and stay in the class. **Cheated in an Exam** If checking another person's answers is called cheat, then I have cheated. But aside from longing my neck like a giraffe and checking another person's answers, I have never involved myself in any examination malpractice. Even when those close to me are writing answers on their palm and laps, I don't look their way. There are some students that would bring phones, textbooks and other prohibited materials into the exam hall. I have never done that. Like I said, the worst I did was to check another person's answers. But it isn't that easy to see their answers though because in my school, there is always a big space between each students, and most times you might not sit beside your classmate. It might be a junior student and luckily it might be a senior student who knows the answers. **Forged my parent's signature** I have never thought of this in my life. As in, why would I even forge my parents signature. If I were told to give something to my parents to sign, I would always give them because I'm a good boy (I'm not capping). Never have I ever forged my parent's signature. You ever see a signature that looks like a string? Or a cooked noodles on a plate? You would have seen some signatures and think it is weird. Come and take a look at my parent's signature and see if it is easy to forge. Even if anyone would forge it, such person would do a lot of work. **Make fake excuses for being late.** Never have I ever made any excuse for being late to school. I know this might be hard to believe. But never have I ever been late to school not to talk of making excuse for being late. I'm not trying to play a perfect person here. There are times that I would get to school just when the assembly was about to start. But I was never late to school. There are times I would sleep late and will have to rush things up the following morning, No matter how many times I’ve had one, I’ve never used the excuse “I didn’t get enough sleep last night” while I was in school. **Bullied anyone at school** Never have I ever bullied anyone at school. While I was in high school, I was one of the students with a small stature. My classmates were like Goliath while I was like David. So tell me how a skinny and short boy that I was would bully those that are more huge than I was. Though things have changed now, I am now tall but that doesn't change the fact that I'm not a bully. I hate bullies, I report a lot of them to the teachers when they try to bully me. I think I've given enough of the things I've never done as a student. Thanks for reading ❤️❤️
