Motivation

Motivation is an incentive or reason for doing something. The word motivation is derived from the Latin word "movere" which means "to move".
Gerrig defines motivation as all the processes involved in starting, directing and maintaining physical and psychological activities.
Motivation is very important in every aspect of human lives. It is a process that begins, directs and sustains goal oriented behavior.
We all have different sources of motivation.
Power
For a man who is seeking for a position of authority, either political or any other means. What motivates and keeps him going is power, influence and fame. It's the power in that position he wants to acquire that keeps him motivated.
Desire to win
In a competition or contest among many other candidates, winning is the ultimate aim of every participant. It's that desire to win the drives each candidate to win at all cost.
Rewards and money
For some people, rewards and money is what drives them and motivates them to do something. So far there is a reward they will go to any length and make sure they acquire and get what they want.
Passion
A great and strong emotion that drives you. You are determined to do whatever you have passion for because you love it. For whatever you have passion for, there is a self motivation that keeps you going.
Reasons for motivation
Motivation helps us to acquire and build new skills. Self motivation keeps people going even in the face of some difficulties and set backs. It helps people to take up opportunities and build on them. You can motivate your self to acquire new skills by acknowledging your differencies. It's one thing to be self motivated and it's another thing to build yourself with that.
Also don't try and question your ability to do something, while doing that you are creating doubt in your ability and yourself. Just focus on the task at hand.
Another reason for motivation is that it's helps one to learn more. In every aspect you are going trying to reach your goal, you are gaining experiences and learning new things.
Motivation helps in different ways, it helps in the aspect of improved performance and personal growth. We tend to learn more when acquiring for change.
Thank you for reading.
What is your source of motivation? What is that thing that drives you and keep you going in the face of setbacks and difficulties?
Having a successful dream

What is a dream?
A hope or wish. A cherished aspiration, ambition or ideal. They gives up and hope energy and enthusiasm.
John Maxwell defined dream as "an inspiring picture of the future that energies your mind, will and emotions empowering you to do everything you can to achieve it"
Your dream is what keeps you going forward, it propels us forward, they makes us happy and encourages us. It's true that everyone ought to dream, but a lot of people's dream has been crushed because of some circumstances. Some have been discouraged, some have been disappointment due to a past failure, some have lack of confidence to face and pursue their dreams.
Putting your dream to test.
It's true that most of us find it difficult to know what we are good at when we were young. We listen to our friends and parents who directs us and advises us on what to become in the future. I personally have this difficult while I was young, different teachers tell me different ambitions to go for, my parents too, my friends too. It's quite difficult when I hear my friends too. It's quite difficult when I hear my friends picking something entirely different from what I want.
It got to a point when you will wish to follow the ambition of your role model, either been a singer or an artist. Then we don't know what we really want, so we have no choice than to listen to our parents and friends.
There are so many people who follow the ambition their parents have chosen for them. Many forced to go to Law school or Medical school out of their choice.
Fulfilling your dreams
Have your own dream.
Have your dream. Have your goal. Have your ambition. Have your vision. You will live the way you envision your dream to be. When you have your own dream, it will feel right to you, it will keep you going, facing all odds, you will feel like you are made to do it.
Lead your life
You have the right to lead your life. Choose to lead your life the way you want not accepting it as you want.
Choose your dream because you love it
Successful people who achieve their dream love what they do and they do what they love. They allow what they have passion for to lead and guide.
"A dream isn't worthy of a person's life if it doesn't benefit others. And it isn't fulfilling unless it is achieved with others.
Make an endeavour to pursue your dream the way you want it. Follow what you love and don't give up.

Crazy thoughts I have had on my own
Good evening dear writers. How has been your day. I wish us all the best.
I don't know if I have mentioned on this platform before that I think and imagine things alot, there are a lot of crazy ideas and imaginations I have thought about alongside, especially if I have just finished watching a movie. It doesn't make sense at all but I still allow it. I don't know if I'm the only one that does this but I will be sharing some of them.
Superheros.
I have watched several movies about superheroes, like Superman and Spider Man, Hancock and others, those that rescue someone out of nowhere and beat up bad guys in movies. What if they really exist, what if they also fly around like I have seen in movies. I have pictured myself or someone I know falls in danger and the superheroes comes to our rescue, stuffs like that. If only superheroes we see in movies exist in real life. I wonder how this world will look like, who knows, maybe the crime rate will reduce.
Missing items
One of the thing I hate doing is searching deperately for something I have misplaced, it's frustrating and wastes my time, out of anger, anytime I'm looking for something I have misplaced , I will atimes say to myself "why can't this thing open mouth and say I'm here". Yeah. I know it's crazy, but I have imagined it a couple of times. I once told my friend about it one day and her response is "if what you are looking for should talk and say I'm here, what will be your reaction? Well, I didn't think of that but I know it won't be funny😂😂
Zombies
One time I watch a movie about zombies then I ask myself what if zombies really exist in our world? It's scary right? I find myself thinking about it. Like it happened in Train to Busan and Alive. I get scared even with that kind of thought. For the fact that I'm seeing it in a movie is scary and horrific, what will happen if it's real?
Afterlife
One time I watch a movie named Goblin. There's something called afterlife in the movie, I learnt in that film that there are four lifes to live before your soul finally vanishes, there were newly married couples in the movie and then the wife died few days after their marriage, well, she got a chance to come back to life after some years, the husband waited for her. Then I begin to wonder what if it's really happening, so a man can die four times😂 😂 😂 😂 What will this world become then, if a man is a sinner in his first life, then there is a chance for him for the the next three lifes he have left to repent.
What if insects and animals could talk.
I have questions with my mind severally about this. I have killed several insects in my house out of anger, cockroaches and mosquitoes especially, what if they can speak like humans do? Animals also, I sometimes wonder if our dog will speak one day. What will happen then? It's strange for all these things to happen. Even though I knew there are no possibilities of these things coming through, I still allow my mind to be preoccupied with these sometimes.
Thank you for reading.♥️♥️♥️
Do you have a similar thoughts with mine, or your is totally different. You can share that in the comment section.
A story I would love to share
I read a story sometimes ago, I'm really not sure of the title but it got my attention in a different way. You know sometimes, when reading a story or watching a movie for instance, there is this feeling you have that make you smile sometimes, probably you have had this kind of scenario in your writing before or in a writing you just wanted to start writing.
I like stories with a female leading role especially, I don't just know why but I love it so much. Well, this story is about a young girl who had been maltreated by your brother both physically, sexually and emotionally. The both lost their parents in a car accident. Since then, his brother had changed totally. She would have run away but she had nowhere to go. This girl in particular Kate(not as the name used originally) had a crush on his senior Jason (not used originally) in school. He never knew this guy personally but it was a one sided crush, so to speak.
She got disappointed on the day he met him, he's of a rude and disgusting personality, on her way back to class, Kate run into another guy who was Jason's class mate and she breaks his phone's screen, the phone crashed on the floor. Then, she is forced to work at this guy's house so as to repay the broken phone.
One thing I forgot to say about Kate is that she had a girlfriend, even though they were close, she never revealed any of her predicament to her, she wears hoodies and long sleeved clothes everytime to cover the wounds she had received from her brother's torture. I don't really know why she has to endure all these all alone without telling a single soul, who knows if they might have come to her rescue.
Well, Kate and this new senior, Richard got closer as times goes on. She had helped him out a couple of times. There's this disease he had been nurturing alone all these years, the cure has not yet been found, but there's an antidote he uses all the time, after which he sleeps off, that will relieve him of the pain. Soon he announces his departure to the US, he had seen a doctor who had been carrying out research on his disease and he have to go see him as soon as possible. Kate was so bitter about this, his new found source of happiness has been cut short.
He invited her over to his house for a dinner one last time, suddenly, Ruth fainted, he has to atleast pull off this thick cardigan she always put on for her to gain access to fresh air. Then he sees many wounds on her body, both the necks and the arms, sharp wounds from broken bottles, bruises as a result of hot substance. Richard was shocked, she had been enduring these pains all alone? What could have been happening to her.
As soon as she wakes up, it's already late in the night, she knew she is already in trouble, where will he explain to his brother that she had gone? She begs Richard to take her home immediately giving him no chance to say anything. When she gets home she bidded Richard goodbye and went in. There his brother had been waiting for him, suddenly Richard heard a scream from the inside. He had waited outside after dropping ruth for some moments. On getting inside he met his brother lying in the floor with blood, and ruth crying. She had mistakenly hit his brother with a bottle on the head after he had attempted to hit her again.
Richard took her home and she explained everything that happens from the beginning. Then he told her to follow her abroad, since there nothing left for her here.
Few days passed, they are already planning to go the U.S together, Kate told Richard that she wants to visit her parents grave for the last time. He followed her to the cemetery but she went in alone. Things got complicated. Kate's brother who had been following them followed her to the cemetery with gun in his hands. Kate thought he was dead but he isn't. Richard was smart enough to have called the police, before he gets a chance to cause any further harm he got arrested. However he confessed that he actually was the one behind their parents dead. Kate's parent had adopted him before Kate was born even though he was loved, he felt jealous when Kate was born, he thought that's the best thing to do so he could acquire all their property.
Things are now over, though Kate was pained to have suffered all these years, with her parents death by the one he had called brother all these while. She finally got a chance to start a new life with Richard.
That will be the end of this story.
Thanks for reading so far. ♥️♥️♥️

Bridget (2)
Time goes on and on, Bridget remains as calm as she is always, Ruth never stops haunting her either, she has decided to take advantage of her gentle and calm attitude, she knew she wouldn't react no matter what she could do to her, she would shout at her, throw things at her. Anthony on the other side is fighting back, holding himself back. Well, I don't know how long he will be able that, he had witnessed her cries at night, pains and fret, he would watch her from his room sometimes, or peep through the door to her room.
Bridget endured everything, loneliness, solitude, pain and everything she had encountered since she stepped into the house. Anthony's mother refused her plea to allow her to work, I guess she wanted to be independent, she have come to realise that she will need someone to rely on herself.
Anthony pleads with Ruth to leave Bridget alone but she refused, she is not ready to stop any bit of what she's doing to her. Since the mother of the house had refused to caution her daughter, who else would she have listened to. He loses focus in everything he was doing, he becomes confused and frustrated at every instance, his close friend advices him over a drink one night to follow his heart, he should try and be friends with her and show her concern.
The next morning, following the night he had drink alcohol heavily out of frustration, he finds himself on Bridget's bed. What! What the hell happened? He had no idea and he had nobody to ask as he finds himself alone in the room. He had himself to be blamed, he was so frustrated that he indulge himself in the act of drinking alcohol even though he had never done that before.
He couldn't help himself now, he decided to summon courage to talk to Bridget about it, but Bridget refuses to talk to her, he remains in the dark. It's obvious he took advantage of her innocence unknowingly, he felt bad for what he did. Ever since then, Anthony started all his might to be good her if not for anything but to gain her trust and forgives him.
Weeks turns into months, Anthony buys Bridget even things she does not need, Bridget on the other hand is on the verge of accepting his kind heart. Ruth thought Bridget had something against Anthony, she had questioned Anthony several times but he refuses to tell her anything. She continued to vex on Bridget while Anthony isn't around.
A day turned everything around for Bridget, Ruth starts with her rants one evening, Anthony is yet to return from work, she keeps demanding reasons for his closeness with Anthony. Bridget who has nothing to say walks out on her. Ruth finds it hard to believe, she had remained calm up until this moment. Out of rage, Ruth drags her back with her hand, instead Bridget flips out of her hand and landed on the floor. Anthony arrives, as he rushes to help Bridget who had been screaming in pains. Anthony rushes her to the hospital. The doctor confirmed that she was pregnant but unfortunately she had lost the baby because she has lost to much blood before getting to the hospital.
Everything felt like a dream, it dawned on Anthony what he had done, how much he had done to offend Bridget, how much she had done to overcome her pain. All the same, Ruth refuses to believe his brother is responsible for her pregnancy. Even after they had returned home, Ruth couldn't contain her anger as she paces up and down the room. The mother on the other is left in total astonishment, she couldn't utter a word. Anthony raises his hand and slapped his sister. He wouldn't condone her dishonoring behavior any longer. He vows to leave the house for her and his mother if they wouldn't stop.
Bridget feel a little bit of excitement in her, even after all that had happened she finally finds someone who supports her for the first time ever since her parents had died. Well, it's now up to Ruth and her mother to accept their union or otherwise. It's so hard for both of them all these while. They finally had a reason to be together. Anthony pleaded with her for all the things she had encountered, for having neglected her even though they were married. He is ready to take responsibility for everything about her. He promises to make it up to her if she would give him a chance. It guess it's time for Bridget to finally be happy in her life.
Bridget
Bridget, an orphan, lives with her aunt Sarah and her family. She had been living with her since she was 15 years after she had lost her parents in a ghastly accident. Her aunt has a bossy attitude even to her husband and she had been controlling the house with such attitude. Ever since Bridget had lost her both parents she had been living in a trauma, her aunt had spent a lot on her medications, she had become fed up of her right since she had steeped her foot in her house and she had hated her since then. Bridget had no choice than to stay with her, she had no one else at that point in her life.
Anthony, the only heir to the MENUS family is to take over his father's company after he had been in a coma due to an accident. However, he must get married before he can gain access to his father's company. Anthony had given up on marriage after he had been betrayed twice by the one he truly loves. They all loved him because he had what they need, money. Anthony wants someone that will love him for who he truly is.
Aunt Sarah offers Bridget to Anthony's mother, she had somehow found out about what the family needs at that moment and she succeeded in selling Bridget off because of money. Anthony's mother at the other end is in a haste to find a woman for his son for him to be appointed as the heir to his father's fortune.
Anthony made it clear to Bridget that they would have no form of intimacy or closeness together. She can decide to divorce him after he had been appointed as the CEO of his father's company. Anthony knew she wouldn't want to do that after she would have had a taste of his family's wealth. Well, he has been in that situation a lot so he assumed it would be so.
Soon they got their marriage registered, it was in form of a contract to Aunt Sarah, but to Bridget it felt like a new phase of her life she's entering alone, she is going into a family she does not know and she has to face it alone. Anthony's flew out if the country three days after their marriage. It's as expected, he never took a second look at her for a moment. It's obvious he wasn't interested in her. Bridget lives alone yet in the midst of a family. She must do everything in her power to be accepted by her new family.
Mary, a sister to Anthony, the boss lady that took after her mother, hates Bridget so much, she doesn't talk to her, instead she haunts her with every words of her mouth. Mary is pained with the fact that her brother is forced to marry a lady he is not interested in and Bridget has to enjoy her family's wealth even though she's not needed. Mary continues doing this to her, she knew Bridget will one day leave.
Things are not going as planned for Mary, Bridget withstand every of her abusive words, she never ask for money or any material things from any member of the family, she joins the family for meal after which she disappears back to her room. Even after Anthony is back, she never made any attempt to gain his attention. Everyone in the house including Anthony finds it quite surprising.
Anthony first noticed her condition, she pants sometimes, and gets scared easily, she screams from her sleep sometimes and he has find it difficult to unravel wants really going on with her. After she had swooned a couple of times, the doctor informed him of her situation.
Few months passed, Anthony has finally settled down and he's doing well with the company. Anthony felt pity on her sometimes, at times he would feel like calling her attention but he just couldn't bring himself to that. He finds it hard to do that. He had given up on love a long time ago. He's not sure if this is sympathy or true love.
Thank you for reading.

Living a moderate life
Lead image source: unsplash
There is a common saying where I grew up. It says "Too much of everything is bad" As I grew up over the years, I realised that this saying is very much correct. I have taken my time to ponder on these words severally and I have tried to find an exception but I have found none. The same doctor that will tell you sugar is efficient for the body, it's the same doctor that will tell you excess sugar is not good for the body.
No matter how good something is, especially food, it shouldn't be taken excessively. The same goes to our health, our lifestyle, our way of doing things. Yes. Exercise is good for the body at the same time, you shouldn't over do it.
Earlier this morning, while I was dressing up, I was planning to go to the market to get some stuffs for the house. Right in front of my mirror, I put my pink lipstick on, it's actually my favorite among others, while putting this lipstick on, I realised that I had too much of it on my lips already. I decided to clean off part of it so as to make it moderate. A part of me wanted to leave it as it was, but I keep telling myself "No", I have always applied it moderately and I often get compliments from some people. As little as it is, it has its beauty. I remembered one day I had the lipstick on, someone scolded me for putting too much of it on my lips.
This lipstick is likened to our everyday lifes, so many people prefers an extravagance way of life. Everything in this life calls for moderation. Doing something in a way that's not too extreme actually has it's most beneficial ways. So many people likes doing things that draws people's attention. You want people to everyone to know you have this, whereas you have forgotten you have gone way too extreme.
For the fact that one is rich doesn't mean you live flamboyantly. Yes. You have money, you worked so hard for it, but everything calls for moderation. In our home, in our work place, among our colleagues, everything calls for moderation.
One major thing I can say is the reason why many people live in a way too extreme is:
Obsession
Obsession might be something you think you about constantly or frequently. But I can also say it has its influence or control on you. There's something you like so much, you have allowed that thing to take the whole of you. You have actually think that you can live without this particular thing. For some it might be food, cloth, wristwatch, shoes and they mostly material possessions. We should try and think of what we have been doing that's way too extreme right now. It pays to live a moderate life. It doesn't matter what anybody says or what other people around us are doing. What matters is that you are doing the right thing.

What should really matter most in a relationship
Lead image from unsplash
Friendship, families courtships, we all get entangled with one relationship or the other. Relationships are the way we interact, behave and talk towards each other in different ways.
Kinship relationship are the connection with our families. A romantic relationship is the connection you have with someone you love with the intention of marriage or not.
In our state of relationship with each other what's really the most important. So many relationships are been disengaged nowadays, friends breaking each other's trust and promises, lovers betraying each other, families fighting over one thing or the other.
What should be the most important, you know it's okay to fight sometimes, misunderstanding occurs sometimes and it's inevitable, but what happens when this preoccurs so many times. You see friends and lovers fighting over the same thing over and over again, or fighting over things that are irrelevant.
Love
Love prevails over all mistakes and failure. To love, it means you care for such person, you are dedicated towards each other. It means you value your relationship towards each other. But is love really the most important. Does love erase all doubts and mistakes?
Understanding
Another point is understanding, that's an ability to know people's behavior. You have the knowledge and ability to understand people's behavior. For you to understand your friend or your partner's behavior, that means you have learnt from each other, experienced things in common, and you must have had your opinion about each other.
Understanding comes with sympathy and tolerance. You are endowed with the full knowledge of who this person really is. And you know absolutely everything about him/her. You have the mental ability to assimilate, comprehend and be tolerant with your partner's behavior and their way of doing things.
Trust
Do you trust your partner completely? So many relationships are broken because of lack of trust. Someone has come to tell you what your partner has done and you have failed to confide in him or her, then there's no trust. When there's trust, then your relationship can withstand any form of gossips.
Respect
Is an attitude or feeling of high regard towards another. You have the right to respect each other in any form of relationship you are in. When there's respect, then the person is important to you, that means you actually value the person. It's a state of being esteem. That means you appreciate your partner for who they really are.
Conclusion
Relationships comes with a lot of definitions and theory, what really defined your relationship is what you really think its important and prevails. The same way relationship has its ups and downs the same way it has its harmony.
Thank you reading.

A lifestyle I can barely imagine.
Lead image from: unsplash
Hello! Fellow writers, how are you today? I hope we all had a great time here today? I haven't been able to read any articles on this platform since yesterday. Electricity in my area is challenging. They just restored the light this morning. I am able to write and post something meaningful thanks to that. First and foremost I would like to thank my new sponsor @ellawrites. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your support towards my writing.
Today I would like to share my experiences about a lifestyle I didn't think of.
Everyone has a dream, a big dream, aspiring to become a great and better person in life. As a promising child, you have a lot of aspirations and it always look so challenging while growing up.
I have been through that a lot, apart from disappointment, I faced some challenges while I was a child. Everyone has a story to tell. As I grow up, I have been a child with a lot of imaginations, but things got really difficult.
At first, I dreamt of becoming a Medical Doctor, but all of a sudden, I changed my mind to be a lawyer. It's funny how I have always imagined my life to be sometimes. There was a day at home, my family and I were sitted watching a program on the Television. It's a program for the NBA (Nigeria Bar Association). I can see many of these lawyers dressed in a black suit. Wow! They are so many. I thought within myself. Then I changed my mind. Why did I change my mind?
Well, growing up in a country where the chances of survival is very slim. I have always imagined how I will survive when I graduate from the University and couldn't find a job. Growing up is hard enough for me. I wouldn't want to go for a course where getting a job after graduating will be very difficult for me. I don't think I can cope with being a lawyer. When I was still young, I allowed my thoughts to get control of me, whenever I decided to do something I always get discourage immediately a negative thought had crossed my mind.
I guess I didn't know what I was doing then. Apart from ambition, I had always discarded some thoughts I had imagined or dreamt to do.
Back to my point, growing up is quite challenging because there are so many responsibilities linning up for my mum, raising four children on her own. It got to a point where I have given up on life. I finally decided to accept whatever life has to offer for me.
When I finally got admitted into the University, I discovered that so many people didn't get what they want as their choice to study. There are forced to settle down and study whatever course the school they picked has given them. Why? You know as they always say "half a loaf is better than none". Getting admission is difficult, after spending years at home waiting for admission.
I'm actually lucky, I was giving the course I want. At that time I had redefined and decided on what I really want to do in life. The struggle continues, where a lot of my friends got a chance to change their shoes, clothes and buy new things, I never got a chance to do that. I decided not to be moved by all those things, though I have always imagined that I will have all that I wish to have one day. But I later decided that not everyone is destined to become rich.
During my second year in the University, I was chosen among few others for a competition in another school. It's an individual competition in another school. To my greatest surprise, I came first in the competition. It's a lifetime opportunity for me. I was given a price of 2.5 million naira. Alongside with a brand new laptop. Nobody realised how huge this competition really is. It's changed my life in a way I can barely imagine. I have never thought I will have this kind of money in my whole life. I mean not at this stage of my life right now.
Another competition surfaces and I was part of those that was chosen again by our lecturers. We all prepared hard for this competition because they told us it involved the top universities in the country. On the day of the competition, the lecturer picked some other students who were totally different from those of us he had told to go and prepare before. After telling us to go and study hard, he changed everything in a twinkle of an eye. I was so furious and disappointed, I really studied hard for it.
Later that same day, I was in my department when one of my coursemate told me to that our H.O.D calls for my attention. Guess what happened? An Ex Governor who's actually an alumni from my department came to visit. I was chosen among five other for a scholarship. He has promised to sponsor our education till we graduate. I was so happy, everything worked together for my good. I later got so many opportunities I can hardly imagined. Even after I graduate I got another scholarship to study for my masters abroad. Everything was actually a blessing in disguise for me.
Thank you for reading. ♥️♥️♥️

Setting your priorities right in this new month
Hello! Good day to you. It's the second day of the month. I wish you a productive day
Setting your priorities right means focusing your energy, concern and attention on what's really most important. Setting your priorities right is important because everyother thing needs to be done right.
So many people have what I call to do list. This comprises of activities or things to do for daily activities, weekly or monthly activities. With this to do list, one can be able to schedule his or her time well. It also consist of programs or events to attend within a particular period of time.
The question is how many people are following this to do list? Lack of concentration is one major factor. So many things distracts our daily activities and this has been hindering our perfectly planned way of doing things. It ruins our aims because we discover we couldn't meet up anymore.
There are lots of things you might have planned to do, some have planned to read some books for a particular period of time, some had planned to work on a certain project, to visit a friend or family, to go for a trip or an excursion, but as time goes on, we discover that we have failed to reach these things because of some hindering factor.
Setting your priorities right
Priority is a goal that you have think is more important than the other. Priorities should be dealt with the most important. We have failed to realize this which has led to our or schedules being jeopardized.
You treat your priority right, the most important comes first among others. In this new month, we should set our priority right, so that we can accomplish all our aims and plans for this month.
A short story
I will like to share a short story, this happens to a friend of mine who is planning to get a new house and at the same time planning to get a new phone. Her house rent will be exhausting by the end of the month and it's already the end of the month. She is planning to move out and get a new place since the place she's staying before is far from school. Whereas, her phone has been giving her problems but she is still managing it for now.
Eventually, she got some amount of money, then she purchased a new phone with the money. Things got quite difficult when the week runs out and she needs to pack out of her place, but she couldn't get another money at that time to get a new apartment since she had used the former one to get a new phone. She ended up squatting with some friends here and there and she ended up sleeping in her church sometimes. Well, I wouldn't say what she did was right or wrong, but I will say she have placed her priority wrongly.
Conclusion
In some way, one thing is important than the other, why not do that thing you think is important first. Sometimes it's feels as if you have done it right, you can go back, check and reason well if you have been placing your priority right.
Try and figure out what's important to you at that moment. Determine how you want to live your life and do things this month. If probably you are confused, talk to a mentor to guide you in what to do. Sometimes it takes time.
Thanks for reading.

Movies I get inspired with (2)
Hello! Good evening from here. I hope you all had a great day. As for me I attended a wedding ceremony today, it was fun and exciting today. It was hectic for me also but all the same, I enjoyed myself. I will be sharing some movies I had get inspired with as I have said yesterday.
Movies are films, pictures, that tells a story. What makes a movie good are the directing, acting, the writing and it's message. We have different types of movies: Comedy, Crime, Drama, Fantasy, Epics and lots more.
Movies serve as an entertainment to us. It creates an imaginary look of what's real and unreal in the world. I actually like seeing movies a lot, real life stories to be precise. I learn a lot from them. It shows how the world looks like far more than I can see or imagine. Also, I can be able to compare belief or vision with others.
Why I love American movies
One major reason why I love American movies is the aspect of their spoken English. With both British and American English, I tend to learn a lot from it. It has gone a long way for me especially in the aspect of my studies, being an English Student.
English is a widely spoken language in the United States and other countries in the world. English is known as an Official language in Nigeria, otherwise known as a second language.
Some American movies I had seen are: Lord of the Rings, Titanic, The Lion King, The Old Guard, Red Notice. To mention but few. American movies are educating and entertaining.
It's funny how I watch movies, it amazed me several times. I never regret watching any of these movies I had picked by myself.
In my last article, I wrote about some Kdrama I love watching. I can't say which of these two I have watched the most but I can say I love them both.
Kdrama comprised of different types; thriller, crime drama, Science Fiction, Comedy and Romance. They are light, funny, and dramatic.
It has its amazing plot twist similar and dynamic. They put more attention on its emotional aspect. They tend to be emotional at all times.
Some Kdrama I have watched are: Crash Landing on you, The Heirs, K2, Empress Ki, Man to Man and lots more.
The last movie I will be discussing for now is Christian Drama.
One of the best of all times is Breakthrough. This movie calls our attention to how deep our faith in God is. It tells of a young boy who fell into an ice and went into a coma. His mother's faith was so strong that left everyone amazed. This movie got me so emotional.
Another one is Overcomer. It's about an asmathic girl who grew up with her grandmother, she had been abandoned by her father since she was a child and her mother is dead. She met a new life when she met his coach and his family who led her to Christ.
I watch Mount Zion movies also which are also Christian drama. It leads you to Christ, deepens our faith in God and makes our faith stronger.
Thank you all for reading.

Movies I had get inspired with
Lead image: unsplash
Hello, Good evening. How has been your day? Mine has been hectic that I didn't think of what to write until now. Just so you know, I'm a Kdrama fan, though I watch other movies also, I watch Kdrama the most. Most of their movies is a portrayal of what really happens in their society. I love watching Kdrama the most for several reasons. I will be sharing with us some Kdrama I get inspired with. I have watched them several times over and over again.
Vincenzo
A South Korean television series. A crime drama which portrays the social injustice in a particular society where the powerful had taken over in all areas. A lawyer who was adopted at the age of 8 by an Italian Family.
Vincenzo Cassano becomes a lawyer, a consiliere for the mafia, he had his own way of dealing with criminals especially. After escaping several death attempts, he flees to South Korean to recover 1.5 tons of gold he had helped a recently dead Chinese man to keep.
Meanwhile, Babel Group had taken over the building where the golds are kept. He must do everything within his power to recover the fortune.
As a tenant in the building, he got involved with some people in the building, particularly a lawyer (Hong Cha Young) and his daughter (Joon Yeo Been). After the death of her father, Joon Yeo Been who was previously working as a lawyer at Babel Group takes over her father's firm. She joined hands with Vincenzo to fight Babel Group who's actually responsible for her father's death.
One major thing that intrigued me about this movie is the chemistry between those two lawyers as they both pursuit social injustice. Vincenzo falls in love with her. He dealt with Babel Group in his own way.
Vincenzo is a whole lot of vibe on its own, a thriller, a crime drama and the amazing chemistry between them. In the midst of betrayal, they never gave up .
One the woman
I personally love this movie particularly because of the lady character. She so much acts the movie in a way pleasant to me. Jo yeo joo grew up with her grandmother alone. She later becomes a corrupt prosecutor. She has a rough and outspoken attitude with a though personality. She's known as the best in the corrupt investigations.
Kang Mi Na, her look alike grew up in a rich family, who was born out of wedlock. She got married to another rich family where she suffers abuse and criticism in the midst of every member of the family including her husband who's not interested in her.
Jo Yeon Joo was mistaken for Kang Mi Na after she suffers from amnesia caused by a car accident. She started living in the real Kang Mi Na's family. She couldn't hide her outspoken attitude. However she got involved with Han Seung Wool, who was her fist love. They both helped each other as they both unravel mysteries behind their families death. Whereas, nobody knows the whereabout of the real Kang Mi Na.
One the woman, is worth watching, a comedy, mystery, drama with a strong female lead.
Thanks you all for reading.
Watch out for my next write up, where I will be sharing more movies I had personally loved the most.
Building your confidence
Lead image from unsplash
Hello fellow writers! It's a new day again. I hope we all be productive today. I had thought about it all night and I have decided to write about confidence. Since I have had some experiences about it.
Confidence is freedom to build yourself. A quality of assurance that you are able and acceptable. It is having faith in your self that you can do something. Were you scared or timid in a step you are about to take in your life?
Individually, we need confidence, as an individual, we are separated and distinguished for an attribute or identification. You have a distinct and unique potential in you. You are created for a purpose and you should be proud to be yourself.
There are some things that serve as problems in building your confidence.
Fear of failure
In my previous article, I gave a definition about failure, 'refusal to rise up when you fall' So many people lose faith and confidence in their ability when they fall. People lose the right to themselves. God has not given us the spirit of fear (timidity) but of power, love and sound mind.
While I was still young, I get scared easily especially when I find myself where I'm not known or where I don't know anyone. I allowed fear to govern my heart so much that I let go of so many opportunities just because I'm scared. So much comes to my mind. Some times I thought of what will happen if I didn't succeed. People will laugh at me, they won't take me serious anymore. Then I start by telling myself I can do it. I didn't mind what anybody says or what the outcome will be. My confidence became so strong that I didn't think of all those things again.
When you allow fear to dominate your heart. It rules and and take over you. Fear is the enemy of confidence.
Conceit
Conceit is worldly and destructive. Conceit is overly high self esteem and vain pride. Never overestimate yourself. Pride puts your confidence in the flesh and anything of the flesh will vanish.
Most times we put confidence in our works, important people we know, our friends and some other things.
Building your confidence
1.Confront your fear. Do not be frightened. We conquer by going through.
2. You should see yourself in Christ. Remove yourself from the system of the world and let your gaze be to God.
3. Think Right. Our thoughts goes a long way in our lifes. The way we think governs our perception and it's outcome. God have a perfect plan for us. Associate with people who impact your life in the right way. Those who add values to your life and not those who fill your heart with junks and negative mindset.
Conclusion: Confidence is not built in a day. It starts gradually. Look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you can do it. There is nothing you cannot do, as long as you put your mind in it and build confidence in yourself. Do not allow fear or timidity to take over you. Instead, do it while being scared, at times, you build confidence while doing so.

I had faced many disappointments in my life
Hello fellow writers. How has been your day. As I have earlier said, I will be completing my story today.
People made friends with me based on self pity. I didn't like it but I couldn't resist. Maybe because they were rich, they had what I needed. Though, my mum was providing for us, I felt bad sometimes that I depended on her for everything in my life.
During my secondary school days, I dated a guy, Fred, he's nice and cool headed. Although he grew up from an average family, he helps me alot which made me likes him more. Kate was my seatmate then, she told me she saw Fred with Mary last night, it seems they were dating. I didn't believe her, or let's say I didn't want to. I'm scared, Fred is a nice, he wouldn't do something like that to me. The next day I came to class, I keep hearing rumors about me and my family. Well, they were all true. A girl told me Mary spread the rumors about me. I knew Fred was to one who told her. I trusted him too much that I told him everything about my family. I went to confront him, then he told me he didn't like me. He was just using me to got close to Kate, my seatmate. That's when I gave up. I gave up depending on people. Even my mum fails to keep to her promises sometimes. Why should I keep depending on man. I shouldn't depend on them again.
Over the years, I have learnt to do things on my own, throughout my college life, I grew up struggling. It wasn't easy, as a student, I took several part-time jobs just to support myself. While my mates were busy studying, I was busy making money to support myself. My mum was struggling too, as a single parenthood she's taking care of my brother and I. I pity her too. I couldn't ask her for money sometimes because I knew she is yet to be paid.
I got lucky when I got a scholarship in my third year in the college, I was so happy. A burden has been lifted from my mother's shoulder. I took lesser part time jobs, I engaged myself in reading too sometimes. My final year was a bit easier than those past years. Even with the scholarship, I still had few things I needed money for. Amazingly, I got help from where I didn't even realize. At some point in my life. I got closer to God. I had a little regret that I wasn't closer to Him before. Who knows if all these wouldn't have happened to me.
All these experiences I have had so far, has made me stronger, even though I know I can't survive alone, I have learnt to be less dependent on man. I'm contended with what I have now, because I know better days are coming. Even with man's disappointment, I didn't give up on myself. Without my dad, I got what I want, I am able to complete my secondary education and college life. Though I made friends, I have never asked them for money whatsoever. I depended on myself.
Thank you all for reading. I hope you enjoyed reading so far.
I had faced many disappointment in my life
I got to a point in my life, where I'm not moved when people couldn't keep to their promises. Why? I have faced countless disappointment in my life, I think that has made me stronger over the years. My family, friends, mates, I'm all surrounded with loved ones. At first I thought life was so unfair to me, but as times goes on, I think I'm at fault. I rely on people too much that I cry a lot when they couldn't fulfil their promises to me.
I'm quite loved by many you know. I grew up with the mentality that says "We need each other to rely on" I grew up learning that we need each other's support as a human. We cannot survive alone. I guess I was too extreme believing that. Or maybe I trust people too much.
As I grew up, my father was a business man, we never had to worry about money, my mum was a complete housewife, she stays at home, even when my brother and I had gone to school. My dad made a lot of promises to me especially, he promised to give me the best education so far, he knew how women struggled to survive in our society. I was so happy even though I was still young then, I had the best supporter I could ever had. He gave me a support that would last a lifetime.
My dad lost his job one day, even with that, he kept his smiling face, I was so confident then, despite him losing his job. All these came to nothing the day my dad left. Mum told us she is getting a divorce. She couldn't cope with Dad anymore, he has changed completely, he comes home late every night drunk. Then it dawned on me that dad is leaving us for good. My mum had no job. How are we supposed to survive? My mum was a fighter, she wouldn't give up on us. Though we had to move to our uncle's place, she tried everything she could to support us.
The first disappointment in my life was my dad, then my uncle. When we first got to his home, he promised to support us with everything he had, we started paying for our school fees, my brother and I went to the same school his children were going to. Few months after we had started living with him. His generous wife begins haunting us. My mom dropped us with them for just a little time. She promised to come back for us after she had settled down. My uncle was a great disappointment on his side, he told me to drop out from school saying I'm a girl, I don't need it. He told me he couldn't cope with our school fees anymore. My brother couldn't stand it. He dropped out instead.
We kept enduring all these till my mum finally came back for us. My brother resumed back to school, even though it was hard for him, he couldn't meet up with the class he was before. Well, that's the life I grew up in.
Single parenthood was quite difficult for me. I faced many criticism in school, if my dad was here, all these wouldn't have happened. I wasn't moved by that actually. What makes me sad was the disappointment I have faced over the years. Some of my mates had promised me one thing or the other which they couldn't fulfil. I can remember I made friends with Kate at first, her parents were rich. She picked interest in me at first. I didn't know why but she likes me alot. She asked me why I keep wearing a torned uniform to class. I told her everything about me, she felt pity for me. She promised to bring me one of her uniform the next day. I was so happy, I told me my mum about it, because she had been planning to get a new uniform for me. I told her to use the money for something else. I knew that money will used for something useful. What happened the next day? She told me she couldn't bring it again. Why? She changed her mind. I couldn't believe that. I had trust her too much to bring the uniform for me. I couldn't bring myself to tell my mum about it. But she knew, I guessed she had been in my shoes a lot.
Thanks for reading. I will be completing the story in my next write-up. I hope you have enjoyed the story so far.
I had no friends
All my life, I hardly make friends not because I'm incapable or unaccommodating but it just didn't work out for me. I guess I'm not destined to have friends. Since my childhood, I'm always alone, though, I do play with my mates in class, there's a limit to that. They all had their own company and hideout. Even if I wish to play, I'm forced to stay alone. I'm quite brilliant though, I'm always at the top of the class.
During my first year in the boarding, everyone calls me a quiet girl, I do things alone. My seatmate was a guy then, we do talk a bit, but it was just a simple talk like "borrow me your note" "have you done your assignment" and some other talks like that.
Inside my hostel, I eat alone, read alone, during the recreation, I sit alone also. I guess I have gotten used to staying alone. At times, when I see my mates playing, I would love to join them too, but I just feel inferior to them. Some of them ask me why I like staying alone. But I can't find a genuine reason. Throughout my first three years, I was alone. If I need something I don't have, will rather not ask anybody for it, or I improvise.
Callie came to me after a sunday service one day. She asked me if I would like to be her friend, I didn't give her an answer immediately. Callie and Lauren were best friends. I didn't know why she would ask me to be friends with me. I agreed with her later. I didn't ask her what happened between herself and Lauren. Throughout that week, we were so intimate. We did everything together. I was so happy. I finally had a friend. I finally had someone I can share my experiences, feelings and thoughts with.
All this came to an end when I discovered Callie had a fight with Lauren. She wanted to make her feel jealous, that's why she came to me. I felt really bad that I was used. Even when they both reconciled and got back together, Callie still came to me sometimes, I guess she didn't want me to feel bad. She didn't tell me about the fight though. I willingly stepped back in our friendship. I didn't want something like third party in my relationship with anyone.
Some months later, Lauren came to meet me if I would be friends with her, I knew immediately what had happened again. I told her to go settle whatever dispute she is having with Callie but she told me she's done with her. She is no longer interested in having anything to do with her. Few days later, they were back to been together.
I gave up on friendship, after I had finally realized that. I make use of my time alone. When everyone studied together, I read alone. I don't play with anyone, I find myself reading novels.
I had another friend in my first year in College. Sophie was my coursemate, she does not like going to class alone. She would wait for me so we could walk together, if she arrived in school first. We got a little bit closer even if I didn't want to go to class with her I always find myself crossing paths with her. Or I would need her help.
Few months after our admission into college, Sophie changed a litte bit. She doesn't come to class, she asked if I like partying, then I told her no. Since then, I noticed a little change in her attitude towards me. I would greet her first before she would reply me.
Everything about her changed totally, her dressing changed to an indecent one. I was a little bit scared of what would have happened to me if I had continued my relationship with her. Well, I wasn't disappointed, I guessed I'm used to it. We still talk sometimes but we do not share any intimacy like before.
I spent my first semester alone. I go to class alone and come back alone. Even though it wasn't easy for me as a freshman, I find it hard locating lecture theatre, going through all the registration process, I find it hard meeting some people, because I was alone, others find it easy because they were in pairs or groups. I had few roommates back then, they were nice to me, I enjoyed staying with them alot but it's just that they weren't my coursemate and they all had friends also. But the little time I spent it them made me jealous of what it takes to have a friend.
At the beginning of the second semester, I met a girl on my way to class one day, we talk for few minutes. I summoned courage to ask her what course is she studying. Amazingly, we were both studying the same course, we shared a lot of things in common, we both registered for the same courses all through. We even stayed in the same hostel. I didn't realize that until I asked everything about her. I liked her attitude. She's beautiful, calm and kind. She did a lot of things for me that I didn't even expect. I guess she likes me too. But then, I asked myself, am I willing to have her as my friend. We just met though but if I keep her as my friend, am I sure it will work out. I'm getting a little bit scared of what hasn't happened. I think I will just continue staying and doing things alone.
Thanks for reading.
Best ways to enjoy your chicken

Have you thought about changing that same recipe you have been using for your chicken or you have decided to make a little change to your method of making chicken. Then you can follow this guidelines.
Chickens mostly used among other birds as food. A food rich in protein. They provide lots of other nutrients to your body. They are edible for all meals. Chicken can be best enjoyed in different ways. They are mostly served as meat for family dish, house party, wedding ceremonies, and lots of occasions and ceremonies accross the world.
Chicken has its different ways of making them, depending on what you want to use it for. Some prefer boiling for making soup while some prefer frying. But there are other ways to enjoy your chicken which I will be sharing just few of them with us:
Baking/Roasting
This process entails the use of temperature. Roasting or Baking your chicken makes it firm and crispy. You can roast or bake your chicken anywhere as long as it follows the accurate measurement of temperature. The temperature is normally between 325 & 450°.
Methods to use
1. Pre heat the oven.
2. Place your chicken in a baking pan, season with salt, pepper, garlic and onion and all other necessary ingredients you wish to include.

Frying.
Fried chicken, is a delicious meals consisting of chicken pieces. I personally enjoy this method the most. Its crispy and crunchy and can be enjoyed as snacks. It can be pan-fried, deep fried, pressure fried or air fried.
Methods to use
To make your chicken extra crunchy, you can coat your chicken with corn starch or flour.
Deep fry chicken in a hot oil for 10 to 20 minutes, till it's golden brown.
Broiling
Broiling chicken is faster than baking, because it's under direct heat. It should take up to 6-8 minutes and more than that sometimes.
How to cook chicken in a broiler.
1. Pre - heat the oven's broiler.
2. Rub olive oil over the chicken, season with salt and pepper.
3. Broil in the pre - heaten oven for over 10 minutes, then turn to the other side.
Perfect seasoning is an essential way to make your chicken enjoyable.

Low budgeted hairstyle for women that last long.
Good evening, fellow writers, how has your day been? Well, for me, I have been busy throughout today. After I have finally gotten time to rest, I'm able to think of what to write today. So then, I give it a thought to write about these; nowadays making hair has its own difficulty sometimes. Some women find it difficult to make hair. Work is one major factor. As a business woman who hardly find time for herself or her family, attending to business meetings, trips, phone calls and so on, sitting for hours in a salon to make hair is quite difficult. Nursing mothers as well finds it difficult to sit for hours and make their hair, where there are loads of works awaiting them.
As a student, low finance is a major factor as well as it is time consuming. Hair that are made for hours are mostly expensive and time-consuming.
Some women are forced to have their hair cut, while some raises their budget higher than expected. Most of us carry our hair longer even after it is due make another one. We are forced to wear wigs, scarfs, headwear and so on for several occasions. Why? Because we are yet to make our hair, or our hair is rough.
This has happened to me sometimes, where I have used wigs to cover up to attend some outings. As ladies, making hair is quite difficult as a faced so many factors. Here, I will be sharing with us some hairstyle that last long at the same time affordable for an average woman.
Dreadlocks

It's easy to make, and does not take time. It has its distinguishable look as you can style them in a different way. They are of different types; Faux locs, Dread pin-up, crinkle dreads, yarn dreads and lots more.

Natural hair twist
Natural hair has its amazing way of shinning and glittering when you make them. There are ways you can make your natural hair look stunning and beautiful. Natural hair twist is another amazing hair style that last long when it's done perfectly.

Adverse effects of excessive use of Internet in our daily lifes.
We now live in a world where we cannot operate our daily lifes without social media. Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter, Instagram has become parts of our daily activities.
As youths, we solely rely on social media for our daily inspirations, news, videos, music, businesses and so on. We all depend on them for our daily survival. To a large extent, many of us can't do anything without internet, Google Search makes things easier for us We'll rather find a solution quickly than to wait and think. The same way the internet has its own positive impacts, the same way it has its own negative impacts in our daily lives.
In this write-up, I will be sharing with us some things we have overlooked that are actually affecting us with the use of Internet.
Eye defect
So many of us spend our whole hours with phones or computers. We have failed to realise that spending too much time with computer affects our eye in one way or the other. Direct contact with the computer light has its effects on the eye. That's why there are anti-blu ray glasses, we are a type that our jobs depends wholely on the internet. If we are not so involved with the computer, then we con do well to distant ourselves and reduce the amount of time we spend with the computer daily.
Indecision
So many of us find it difficult to reason and make decisions on our own. Why? Because we have totally depended on the internet. So many people depend on the Search Engines to make decisions, to ask questions and lots more. We should try and reason on our own, it will take a while but it will surely be a best decision.
Lack of oral-communication
Lack of communications happens when everyone's attention is glued to their phones, no oral-communications between families and friends, we are unable to share our daily experiences to ourselves.
Diversion.
The use of Internet has affected our lifes also in the aspect of diversion of attention. This is common in our daily lives while praying, in church, at work, while cooking, while sleeping, we got caught with so many things that draws our attention we didn't even know it has.
Waste of time.
While chatting or making use of our phones, we discover we have used much time than we ought to have placed too much attention on it.
Exposure to Lewd desires
Excessive use of Internet promotes lasciviousness. It exposes use of pornography and indecency.
Laziness: Promotes indolence. Research and assignment are easy to make with the help of Internet. Thank you all for reading.
Failure
Hello, how has been your day, I hope you all have a great time here. My first write up here will be what I call "what it really means to fail"
In a world where every individual struggles to survive, so many factors hindering one's dreams and aspirations to come true.
From unemployment, economic crisis, poverty to some government policies, they all bring rising effects to man's disappointment.
Going down to what a man really aspire to be what he really becomes, here comes the word Giving - up. So many people give up because they think they have failed. They failed to realize the true meaning of failure.
What does failure really means? What's your own definition of failure? So many definitions of failure. To some failure means giving up. To some failure means you have done the worst, you cannot make it.
To me, failure means refusal to rise up when you fall. It means you have giving up on your yourself, you have accepted defeat. There is always another chance, there will always a chance to have another attempt. I really don't know how many times you have to try. But I know you will succeed when you get up and rise again.Giving up means you have accepted defeat.
Like a little baby, who is just attempting to walk, while learning to walk, when the baby falls down, he/she rise up again to take the step again. Babies never give up on themselves, they keep on trying on their own until they are able to walk perfectly.
You find yourself in a competition, aiming to win or reaching for a goal, then you fail, it means you have not struggled enough, you shouldn't accept defeat, a real struggle is something difficult for you to achieve. The essence of struggle is to yield to it's result by getting what you want.
Have you find yourself in a situation where you are been discouraged? "You can't make it" "No one has done it before" When you hear people telling you it's not possible, you should be determined to face the reality and prove them wrong.
In our daily lifes, sometimes it might appear as if there's no way, like the whole world is totally against you, and your struggle becomes difficult, when you fall, rise up again, keep your eyes fixed on the finishing line. Don't give in to defeat. You can do it. Failure is not the end of the road. It's a stepping stone as long as you don't give up. You just have to revisit your goals. It's not okay to give up. find yourself in a competition i.e aiming for an achievement or reaching for a goal within two or more people. It migFailure comes with struggle: You find yourself in a competition i.e aiming for an achievement or reaching for a goal.
