11 Questions - This Isn't 50 Cents. I saw these questions on my @Probinsyana's post and I asked her if I can also repeat them. It's always exciting to do stuff like this just to catch some fun and break away from the usual posts. I hope you all enjoy the questions too. **What sport would be the funniest to watch if the players were drunk?** I have two in mind... Football and Rugby. How fun would it be if all the players were drunk and they are chasing after the ball…

A Lot Can Change Quickly. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-man-near-car-1452128/ A lot can change for anyone quickly, either for the worst or for the better. I understand that we cannot plan for every eventuality in life but we still have to plan and have foresight. There are some lessons life would force on you and there are some lessons you will have to accept on your own. Luke didn't see this coming and despite being young, he was forced to face the…

Cold Feet It Is. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-wearing-white-dress-walking-on-sand-2029253/ Most people have cold feet when they want to make a major decision about their future. They question a lot of things and then project themselves into the future in their mind to be sure this is the life they have chosen rather than the life they have been forced to accept. We are a reflection of the accumulation of things we have been exposed to. They play in our…

Be Creative - My Kind of Content. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/close-up-of-human-hand-256514/ I've been into Blockchain since 2017 and I've always been the kind of person that loves being creative. I don't try to do things the way anyone would, but rather I would like to own them and personalize them. The truth is, there is nothing we want to say that hasn't been said. There is no idea we are putting forward that others haven't said but the ability to own it,…

Be Creative - My Kind of Content, II. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-writing-on-a-notebook-beside-macbook-1766604/ This is the second part of the post I made yesterday about creating a niche for yourself and making your content to be targeted toward your readers rather than just "*talking to yourself.*" I cited how sometimes we just want to make a post and be done for the day but creating content should be about what you want your consumers or readers to…

Your Target Achievement? Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/question-mark-on-paper-crafts-5428828/ *Question:* **What are you aiming at right now? - Let's call it a** ***major goal*** **you're looking to achieve within the next five years. What is that major thing you want to tick off and what actions are you taking to bring it to reality? What are the obstacles you face, how are you working to overcome them and what will it mean to achieve your goal?** This is one…

The Hard Way. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-in-white-long-sleeve-shirt-standing-near-white-and-gray-house-during-daytime-103127/ Life is full of lessons and life never stops teaching. We keep learning from every angle but our heart needs to be open to learning. There are so many things we can learn from life and as long as we are living, we can't help but keep learning, whether we like it or not. Sometimes it would be forced on us and often we will see…

I want to sincerely thank my amazing sponsors. Your encouragement and support means a lot to me and it would be unfair to start mentioning your name one after the other. From the depth of my heart, I would never stop appreciating your motivation. Thank you all so much and cheers to more better days ahead. I won't take undue advantage of it.

Resentment. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/worried-young-woman-covering-face-with-hand-6382634/ Jennifer has been confused all her life and she often wondered why her mother prefers their second-born over herself and the firstborn; Jendo. Jendo, being the firstborn, expected to be at the leading front of everything but that wasn't the case. It wasn't because he was incapable of managing the affairs of things but the mother just took interest in the second-born;…

Get To Know More... So, here is another break from my regular post to do this challenge. I like doing these kinds of posts once in a while because it's an opportunity for others to get to know the person behind the handle. It's like opening up a part of you for others to see and then relate with you. Thanks a lot to @Princessbusayo for helping out with the questions. I've seen a lot of people do this challenge too. Thanks to whoever started this and to those who have…

Façade. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-standing-and-holding-baguettes-12031073/ Not everything is as they seem. A lot of people mask their pain deep within them and you wouldn't even know it. You know only the things they allow you to see just like the social media. You see a lot of people upload content and see the laughter shine through. You would wish to be as happy as them only if you know half the demons they have locked away and some they are still…

Laws That Guards Economic Empowerment. I love learning things every day and when I listened to this topic yesterday, my mind opened up. Of course, these would be in my own words based on the understanding that I have derived from the teaching and the points given. The truth is there is no one that can't make headway in life. We often think that success is for a selected few but that's far from the truth. Some laws govern success so much that it doesn't matter whether you are…

Random Questions About Me. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/question-marks-on-paper-crafts-5428833/ I found these questions when I read the version of @ARTicLEE and I promised myself that I would do this after the 4 parts series I just ended. I shared about my late sister yesterday because it was her remembrance. Let's get down to brass tacks. **What would I truly regret not doing if I died tonight?** Simple and short...I would regret not writing my book and also…

Warning Signs of Complacency.

Of course, I am tilting towards another angle with this. My anger is with Ernesto inside most of us hahaha. We all have Ernesto - that horse inside us that would want us to take a laid back approach when we should be reaching for the moon. We are all guilty of…

Lost Products. ***Topic: The lost product - Has there been a product you simply loved, a favourite, but can no longer get it? Tell us what it was, why you liked it and how you feel about losing it.

As I have said before, I see this as an opportunity to let people in into my kind of person, away from what they are used to reading about my posts. Let's get this over with as well. I asked @Probinsyana if I can copy her questions and use them. She gave the okay for it, so thanks, my friend. You can read her interesting answers…

The Little Things of Life. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/four-person-standing-at-top-of-grassy-mountain-697244/ I've always said that life is not that hard but we are the ones that make it complicated unnecessarily because we see other humans as competitors rather than see them as helpmates. Help goes both ways and you can either help or be helped. While waiting for help, whatever you have within your power to help another, don't cling on to it and reprieve…

Double For The Trouble - Happy Birthday, Love. It's a special day today and how time flies. It's unbelievable to see that she is 2 years old already and how time flies. She is a bundle of joy and double for every trouble. She is a child of consolation and she's doing that effortlessly. Today is her second year's birthday and I am absolutely delighted. Words failed me even though I am a man of many words. She is a priceless jewel and I want to share the amazing poems I wrote…

Water Off The Duck's Back. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/brown-and-white-duck-on-water-7745377/ One thing I've been able to learn about life is that I need to grow a thick skin. Life is for the brave. Life is not for the faint-hearted and once you are, you get easily blown away. Life was designed to be easy but with the human factor, it cannot always remain so. I've seen a lot of people complain about life and still, life would always stay the same. We can only…

We Need To Stop. Image Source. https://www.pexels.com/photo/frustrated-black-girl-between-arguing-parents-at-table-7114109/ I've never been a fan of parents forcing children to get married. Some parents feel they got married at a certain age and then they heap the pressure on the child to follow the same line. It's totally unfair and I don't subscribe to that school of thought. We are in a different era and they were from a different era. What worked for them isn't a…

Weekend Get-Away. What a weekend I had this past week and if I had the chance to do it again, I would do it without batting my eyelids. I called it a weekend get-away because I left the familiar to form bonds with my friends turned family. My childhood friend got married in my former state over the weekend. I left Lagos for Ibadan early morning on Friday. I drove down and it was just myself because wifey's office organized a Children's Day treat for every child and she had…
