Health
Health is wealth as they say and it is no lie as it is the body that is in good shape and good state of health that would make sources and clamours for wealth. Most people nowadays and let me say the young persons covering all under or at the age of 30, they barely attend and care to their health issues like their food issues; as people in this category tends to pressurise and source for food, edibles than they look after their bodies and they are not to be blamed as in all if not totally over-used or damaged, their body system functions properly and give the optimum results ... if you have a machine working properly and giving no issues, would you have a problem of selecting what oil to use lubricate it gears, NO!
As the reason would be any machine working fine and without problem can be lubricated or filled with any kind of oil be it black oil likewise in the human being case, a working body system would tend to be fed anything at all from sweets to excess sugar to junks to caffeine and much more as it is still giving results and working properly. Not taking or giving enough attention to the welfare and proceedings of the body system, as well as the intake into the body system, can cause accumulative damages such as build up of sugar in the blood, accumulation of dirts in the eyes and ears and much more.
We must give our body system the best of care and attention as it is our only one true home and place of abode, it doesn't matter if you live in a mansion or a hut or a silo, if you have good health, you have a everything - Everything, in the sense that, you can fight, source and fend for anything missing from your grasps and reach without having to think or bother about your health issues as it is an healthy person that can go to look for jobs, it is an healthy perosn that can go to the office to defend projects, it is an healthy person that can present slides and do presentations.
To buttress and cool out my points, here are some outlines on what we need to do in order to keep an healthy body and mind-
● We must be watchful of what we eat and drink as excesses of things taken into the body can be damaging. This is to control and take charge of what happens internally in our body system as we can't clean our internal body system manually like we clean our teeth and nose but we can watch what we take into it.
● Health refers to all things happening within and outside the body, our physical appearance. We should learn to care and take care of our body and its elements like the skin, ears, teeth, nose, eyes and so on. Regular bathing and cleaning of those body parts would hinder the harbouring and storage of germs on the body which can in turn harm the body system.
● Surroundings and environments also plays a vital role on a person's health. A good and well-ventilated room and a neat environment without stagnant waters and open refuses/garbage fosters good health. Our garbage must be controllable and taken care of so as not to harbour germs, pests and insects.
All these are little of the things we need to do and be watchful of in order to keep a healthy body and sound mind. We should never overlook any changes we might notice in our body system and should check in on it as it might be a warning light our body system is displaying to us in order to warn us of impending danger. Yes, very true - our body system is capable of communicating with us in ways more than one to let us know of things happening in it or that might happen in the distant future be it tomorrow, next week or next month. So we should never overlook signs given to us by our body system as mere irregularities.
Don't forget to keep an healthy body and an healthy mind so we in turn can have an healthy life. 😊
Good Morning to you all, thanks for reading and for your time. Do have a nice day ahead.
A Smiling Face
Yesterday being the 10th of March was a joyful day for me at work as I was recognised and commended for my work all through this week and the previous week by my Boss. I only just started this job on the 4th of March but I have been on straight shift, without break or days-off and it is actually no one's fault; I am used to it by now .
The formal agreement i penned down was for me to do Part-Time staff which means I have to work three times in a week and get the remaining four days as off while the Full-Timers work for six times in a week and get one day off although our salaries are different; mine is half of the Full-Timers but before I would embark on my PT days routine I would have to do a Full-Time days routine for a week. I chose the PT as I am still a student and academic session is on and balancing the two while active could be a heck of a workload and stress accumulation so i opted to.go for that option.
Concluding from my little prologue, I had spent just six days in this my newly gotten job. I wouldn't reveal the company's name but some of you might make inferences and try to guess out the company's name; some would guess it right while some would get it wrong but I am not going to be the judge of any decision or action but an harmless hint is that " *It is an Eatery, fast-food store"*.
Back to my happy day, we had an early workers meeting before starting out our job's daily routine , opening the store and in the meeting, we all discussed on how we can better the growth and sales of the company while solving and identifying some common problems in our mode of operation in running the store. The meeting was jolly-filled and lasted for almost an hour as we all said our minds, about how we felt doing the jobs and what we would like to be changed or be made present in forthcoming times, I had little to no contribution at all as I am new and barely know the state-of-things on ground. As I said earlier, I was recognised and called out in front of the team and awarded, the quote was " *I was hardworking and relentless and do things without been asked or look at other people faces"* ... I don't mean to brag.
What I would like to bring out from all these isn't words of bragging, it just a daily reminder that whatever we would be doing in this life we should do it with heart and passion. I never knew I would be commended or noticed and I also didn't do what I did for praises, I was just doing the job given to me with my full focus and commitment. What ever that is worth worth doing is also worth doing well and we would see the results of it.
We should never let people look us down or override our decisions with their bad thoughts and doings and corrupt us, we should always try to stand right in whatever we do and continue doing them diligently . I did my chores given to me without reprove and murmuring, doing them whole-heartedly and cheerfully. I guess this was amongst the things noticed that made the Leader spot me out. All through yesterday, I was happy and beaming because it really put a smile on my face and I was rejoiced with by other staffs.
Doing things and being committed to whatever one is doing really goes a long way and it isn't done for the moment at hand but for future references as we don't know what the future hold for us and we must be prepared for it, not just in our future actions but also in our past and present.
Good Morning to you all, thanks for reading and for your time. Have a nice day ahead.
Sad
The feeling of being alone and no one understanding you or not making yourself understandable to people around us digs a huge hole in us. Doing things your way and your style without heeding to others advice even though they mean good and great for us. We at times feel insecured amongst friends and people and have this mindset to be independent and not relying on anyone or giving people feedbacks or getting in touch, some count this as being egoistic or being pride at play but it all boils down to behaviours and the mentality.
Most people hates being dependent and reliant on others as it might seem as a kind of weakness or laziness or it might be used as an act of inference in the future, nailing or judging one's actions later on. Sadness doesn't mean absence or lack of joy, it is a portrayal of one's body, mind and soul. An individual who has nothing of interest in a particular topic or matter at hand may appear sad to others and uncaring.
Problems and challenges facing an individual can also influence his or her sad trait and make them gloomy and deep in thoughts, deep thinking also shows sadness. A sad person should be tried to be understood rather than being judged, one should look and reason from their aspect and try to figure out why they are sad and try to offer possible solutions or try to work it out together. Most problem-solving solutions are rarely in the hands of those facing the problems whereas some would need the initiating factor of the person faced with the problem.
Asking out for help and being declined may be one of the thoughts of a sad person who is in crisis and needs help and to not be a burden to others as they have their own cross to carry also can cross through the mind of a sad person and just choose not to ask. It seems I am blurring the line between being SAD and being in CRISIS or PROBLEMS, it all boils down to the circumstances that anybody in crisis would in turn tend to be sad.
Some sadness however ain't from crisis or problems, some just arises from the way things are playing put for an individual whether his business isn't booming or he needs to do things that are out of his grasp. Wanting to hide the feelings of depression from friends and families is really not advisable as it kills and drains us faster. No matter the thought crossing our minds, we should always at least try to explain ourselves and table our matters before our friends.
Good Morning to you all and have a nice day ahead.
Winning
**Mo sare rush ko laaro yii ni**
Everyone knows what winning and losing feels like and wè all when given the chance wouldn't want to lose but rather win. The Urge and hunger to be victorious and successful drives us humans and thus we all wbat to be Winners. Winning is for those who are ready, prepared and determined. We take on opportunities and tasks with the mindset of accomplishments and victory and that in turn leads us to winning over them. We are all on a task of self development and growth every day and we find a way to make better of our lives and characters and thus we try to put ourselves in situations that would test our limits and wits and try to overcome them. The feel to win and succeed drives us to pass our limits and put our best into whatever we do at the moment.
Winning is the moment of truth that we are rewarded with and the line between hardwork and failure, as one can step from winning to failure and also on can through hardwork become a winner. A winner give his all and is motivated by his goals, dreams and vision which might be of him or his loved ones. Motivation to win is also a great influence on a winner's motive and hunger-drive for success as we have something to hold on to when fighting and a star to look up to and gaze upon. Life is a competition and we all are competitors, there are different categories and designations of competitors but we all want to win in our area of specialisation. Life has the likes of winners and also losers; the winners are the Victors, the Victorious ones who got what they wanted and dreamed of while the Losers are those who didn't get their aim or what they dreamed of. The truth is that neither the Losers nor the Winners stop or rest on their oars even after losing or winning- the Loser want to better his life and still achieve his dreams and thus doesn't give up and strives on while the Winner wants more to his hands and more values.
Winning puts a smile on our face and chases away all kind of brooding. Winning is an action everyone wants to have a taste of, it is the product that comes with having achieved our goals. We win for ourselves and our loved ones, embarking and taking on a task and accomplishing it with success is really divine and ecstatic. We all are winners and achievers and as long as we don't rest ot give up no matter the situation and circumstances, we would always achieve our aim and dreams.
Thanks for reading and Have a nice day ahead.
Oblivion
As I wasn't able to post an article yesterday even though I had it drafted down, I was terribly occupied yesterday with chores and duties but I tried to finish this my draft on OBLIVION even though it is a piece by piece idea joined together to make à whole huge chunk of rambles, I still think you can make sense out of it or grab my point and a lesson or two from it.
Like the drunkards say, *" I drink away my sorrows, I drink to forget my worries*" ... being drunk/drinking can be considered a safe haven from all the troubles and stress of reality. Forgetting and ignoring seems to be the best of options than facing and solving the issue directly. Issues and matters arises that can be out of our hands at times and do push us to the walls at times and we are left to do the unexpected or unimaginable. Forgetfulness can be at times involuntary than it is voluntary, as an act of defense mechanism by our body to stop our mind from getting damaged and lagged as when it is faced with challenges and difficulties. We all also in one time or the other in our lives must have had such experience and we want to escape from such .
I would be talking about oblivion as a case of forgetfulness in general from habits to relationship and how its placebo helps us if not affect us. Many humans are a use case scenario of the feeling to want to run away from troubles and their pains while some even go extra far to develop the sense to forget their problems. Forgetting and trying to ignore only helps us for a while and some moment but it doesn't mean what we are facing has truly gone. Looking back into past lives, there must have been some actions or behaviours that we might have done or indulged in and that brings us sad moods or make us feel down whenever we remember them and since we can't turn back the hands of time to stop ourselves from doing those acts, most of us have acted to learn to forget such memories. Deeds and actions are to be claimed and responsible for once taken and not wishing one can turn back the hands of time.
Friends also can be forgotten as we move on in life, only those in our inner circle whom get in touch with us regularly would be remembered. The Oblivion - the act of forgetting also has a good side and also a bad one. The sense of happiness and relief one feels when he or she forgets about a terrible event happening in their lives really hits the spot, it can be considered as being "*Opium*" - Opium a drug one takes that makes one free of guilt and gives one the fantasy of heaven, an hallucinationary kind of drug taken to give one forceful peace of mind and comfort but when the effect of the drug dies down, one's consciousness is Brought back to life. A thought that have always dangled in my mind was that what if we wake up one day and see that our parents, our siblings, our children, our friends, our families all doesn't remember who we are to them and we become a stranger to them - how would we feel ? I would leave us with that question as I close to show curtains and drop my writing pen here .
This article might be mumbo-jumbo , pardon me all . I would write a masterpiece soon once i am spaced and convenience enough ~lol~ . Thanks for reading and your time, have a nice day ahead 😊.
Jungle Language ( Cala3caka )
Before I get on with the continuation of my write for today, I know most of you might have been wondering or asking what my title head meant in the two-parts ramble article of how my day went that i wrote as articles on Thursday and Friday or you might as well be thinking it was a typo and I didn't notice it or I was to lazy to change it or as some might think, it was a click bait - well, it kinda seemed a click bait ~lol~ .
Well since no one asked about it in the comment section, my assumptions ran wild and I moved to guess you all knew the meaning but I highly doubt it. The comment section is for interaction between users in this platform and we must learn to be free and give feedback of what we feel about an article that has been read or how we see it from our point of view.
Back to the title head, It wasn't a mistake or a typo, I wrote it in a language tagged ***"JUNGLE LANGUAGE***" that has been around for close to a decade in my country now. It was a cooked up cipher language that makes use of the importance of the knowledge of the Consonant and Vowel sounds, a knowledge of these is very important in writing in Jungle language.
We have twenty-six alphabets of which five ( ***A,E,I,O,U*** ) are called the Vowel sounds and the rest of the alphabets, being twenty-one in number are called the Consonant sounds. So we have five Vowels and twenty-one Consonants and any alphabets that is not in this Vowel sounds **A,E,I,O,U** is a Consonant - that should be enough key to latch on. This part ends without saying that one must know his Vowels and Consonants.
`Pardon my discrepancies as it might seem I am talking toddler as most of us here if not all of us are adults and would already know what are Vowel and Consonant sounds but for all righteousness to be fulfilled, I just had to state down to obvious for references.`
The next step in learning the jungle language is we then assign numbers (1 - 5) to each of the Vowel sounds starting from A then moving to the right which goes as thus ;
**A E I O U**
**1 2 3 4 5**
With this it can be seen that**, A is 1 , E is 2, I is 3, O is 4 and U is 5.** These are very important to note as they are key to writing and deciphering a Jungle Language cause later on, we would be swapping out the Vowels for their respective numbers. This is half of what is to be done, the next half is with the Consonants sounds where we add a suffix *"-a"* to any Consonant sound found in our sentence. As earlier stated that any sound not part of the A,E,I,O,U is a Consonant, let do well to list out the Consonants then if you don't mind .
**Vowels**: A,E,I,O,U
**Consonants**:B,C,D,F,G,H,J,K,L,M,N,P,Q,R,S,T,V,W,X,Y,Z
We can use this table to follow up. Now we are done with the steps and a quick recap may be needed.
Jungle Language is a language that has been around in my country for a decade or more than, I only got to know of it in 2013 and it has gone way back. It was coined and formed as a language that encompasses the use of the knowledge of Vowel and Consonants sounds of which we have five Vowel sounds and twenty-one Consonant sounds making a total of twenty-six alphabets, the English Alphabets. To write in Jungle language, we assign numbers to each of the five vowels ranging from A-1 to U-5 meaning subsequents terms are E-2, I-3 and O-4. To the Consonants, we add a suffix *"-a"* to all Consonant words found in our text. Let us demonstrate these rules with a word we all know - "***read.cash***"
***read.cash*** to be written in the Jungle Language would be "***ra21da.ca1saha***" .... lol. Easy fellas, I sense some of us are beaming with joy and excitement while some see in awe. Let revise what we just did with the "read.cash" word - it started with *r* which is a Consonant, right followed by a *Vowel(e)* then another *Vowel(a*), a *Consonant(d)* then a ***dot*** we then started with c which is a Consonant also, followed by a *Vowel(a)*, then a *Consonant(s)* and another *Consonant(h)*. Earlier we said, all Vowels would be converted to it mirror numbers and all Consonants would be given a suffix of "-a" , in clear terms we have ;
r e a d . c a s h
ra 2 1 da . ca 1 sa ha
.... so joining them together, we have "read.cash" as "ra21da.ca1saha" - a magnificent and daunting transformation.
Ha4Wa Maya II ( Wa2da) Wa2NaTa 3Na La3ta2ra1la Ta2RaMaSa - Pt 2
... I got to school within twenty minutes , I walked ..I am a fast walker yeah but not something I am proud off but I would probably beat you in a walk-off ~lol~ . So I got into school, saw my friend and in a matter of an hour I was done with him but I can't go back home as my phone wasn't at Full battery capacity then so I opted to go to my school football field where I happened to hear that my Public College institution (UI) was having a friendly match against another State College Institution ( EKSU) also in the same country. Who am I not to stay and watch such football and luckily, I came through at first half where the scoreline was a goalless draw.
The match was interesting as all the players were playing with enthusiasm, passion and determination as they were representing their College Institution and it was something to be proud of. Many would have applied and tried to be in the school football team but few would be picked; the best of the best, the determined, the focused and the willing. The first half finished with the EKSU College leading my School, UI by a goal to nil and after the break, they all came back on for the second half and this was where things got interesting as they brought to view the dribbles of football, the passes, the goals assists, the saves and all thrills.
My School scored four goals in the second half and the game ended 4-1 with my College UI beating EKSU; we stood our foot as still being the top dog around even though the match was a friendly. The football match ended with me looking at my wrist watch , it was some minutes past 5pm and so I took off to go check my charging phone but it was not yet full , 68% of battery life. I unplugged it with the hope to finish some of my drafted articles and surf the Web while playing some music, after I was done with the phone it was on 32% and I plugged it back. In the school hostels as I have mentioned before, electricity was steady and so the light supply barely flicker.
With nothing to do yet again, I moved downstairs as I was charging my phone upstairs in D block of rooms ... on getting down, I went to the cafeteria to eat as i hadn't have anything to eat yet, I ate four wraps of Fufu with bitterleaf soup ... it really hits the spot. I advanced in my journey and went to the foursquare of the Boys hostel and saw them playing yet another mini type of football with four players on each team. I sat to watch and also wished to play but couldn't join in yet as there were many sets of team ready to play and I had to either beg to join one of them or wait till a member is tired so I can replace him. I watched for minutes and the Football match was oddly pleasing with silly dribbles and goals and eventually, it was my turn to play ... I filled in for someone who was tired. I was told to man the goal post though as the captain of the four man team saw me as the new guy and a flop, I gracefully manned the goal post making some couple of saves and giving some assists that led to goal scoring chances but we lost them all ... in the end, the 7-mins timer buzzed and both teams were instructed to leave for another set of team as it was a rule that if no goal is scored within that timer of 7-mins then both team would leave and two new teams would enter.
Still on the football pitch,we played football till around past 8pm ... all tired and beaming with joy as we undoubtedly enjoyed ourselves. It was time to leave and head home and my phone had already hit the 100% bar, I unplugged it and bade farewell to my friends and took a public transport home as I was to tired to walk on foot - my foot were all sore from the bare footed play of ball. On getting home, I bought some oranges and apples to eat as I couldn't cook.
This was how my day went to put it short, sorry it had to take two parts.... I didn't want to bore you with a long and bulky article so I split it . Thanks for reading and Have a nice day ahead.
I will give you an insight on what my title head meant and its origin/derivation in my next article.
Ha4Wa Maya II ( Wa2da) Wa2NaTa 3Na La3ta2ra1la Ta2RaMaSa - Pt 1
My day mostly took part if not entirely in school as I hopped from one activity and task to another.
I took off to the interiors of the school looking for a place to charge my device subconsciously as that wasn't what even brought me to school in the first place but since I would be going there, I had to make good use of my visitation ... I only have one electronic device which is my mobile phone so don't think I brought the whole of my apartment appliances. Well truthfully, we have been starved of electricity in my neighbourhood for days if not weeks as we are being given trickles of light supply lasting barely from minutes to hours at most whereas my College institution not being far from my apartment has steady to constant light supply - I live off campus, that is, I don't live within the school four walls or it's interiors but I live within its premises.
Going to the school also isn't as easy as it sounds also as it might look like it is a stonethrow away from my apartment, it is quite lengthy and packed if one is going by foot except one has sufficient funds to bank on transportation which when calculated as a whole takes a huge chunk off one's budget and income. I had already woken up since 8am with my mobile phone battery life being on 4% and a resolution to not search and source for alternative forms of power supply as I wanted to sleep the whole day off and just give myself a break, I had the plan to put my phone on Airplane Mode to save and conserve the remaining battery life on it as if I left it without putting it on Airplane Mode, the little left of the battery would drain away to roaming cellular network, incoming messages and all sorts of activities done by the phone-things I don't need at the moment unlike bank crrdit alerts ~lol~.
I rolled out of bed to go urinate and slumped back into the bed, as I was just about to put my phone on Airplane Mode, a friend of mine call came in and requested an assistance from me and that would definitely make me transverse into the school premises ( College ) - a defilement of my early morning vow to myself. Notwithstanding, I received that call from my friend around past 9am , I obliged to help but I still slept my way through till the afternoon, my 2pm alarm clock woke me. I was enjoying my day and sleep but then I remembered I had a task to accomplish for that said friend of mine. So I grumpily got out of bed, freshened up and took my bag with its contents and headed to school.
I would fill you in on the rest tomorrow as I would draw the curtain to a close here on this chapter. Thanks for reading and for your time, have a nice day ahead.
Generational Gap
As the Earth revolves and changes over the years, so does civilisation. As old things fades away, new things surfaces and along the long run, we are left with the works of the past that is handed and left down for us to be bettered . The human generation downline has come a long way and really evolved with new features manifesting which differentiates each generation apart. Of course we, the current generation, have evolved and improved into the smarter generation using most of the knowledge of the days of the old that was left behind while looking to the future in hopes that the next generation to come would also better us and pick up from where we left off but have we, the new generation, really missed anything of the old ?
The gap between this generation and any of the previous generations if we were to pick can be seen in the inventions and improved technologies that has flooded this our time. If we are to look into some aspect of these, famous topics are;
●***TRANSPORTATION***
Let us compare with a generation where animal power was the source of transportation on land and small boats were used to travel the Seas. People then, use horses, Donkeys, cows to enable mobile movements from distant places to another and even though I stated the importance of this method over our mechanised transportation now in environmental pollution , it doesn't mean this animal-powered source of transportation was effective. Now we have vehicles of all kinds ranging from the cars and buses used on land to the boats and ships used on sea and then transiting to airplanes used in the air. All these mode of transportation has their own forte, advantages and disadvantages as different types are goods, location to be delivered, quantity to be delivered, speed of delivery and many other factors determine the mode of transportation to be used. system now has really helped and jump-start the flow of marketing and good deliveries all over the world as we can receive and send items with ease and receive within minutes and at most days that it for goods coming to us from other countries or continents.
●***COMMUNICATION***
It is no doubt that communication in this current generation has really peaked as we have the cellular mobile-phones and the Internet. With the help of these, we can connect and get in touch with one another without having to meet within minutes no matter how far we are from each other. Back then in comparison with some previous generations , they used only letters to communicate with each other or send a messenger to pass the message across and these processes can take days for the message to be received by the recipient from the sender. This isn't such a good thing in the case where time is of essence and information needed to be conveyed immediately, with the use of a mobile phone or a social media nowadays with the help of Internet, information can be sent across in matter of seconds across continents .
Honourable mentions also would be improvements;
○In the field of medicine as there are sophisticated devices and machines that we use in the medical sector nowadays that aid the speedy recovery of patients and also ensures maximum and efficient treatment is given
○In the field of Electricity
○In the Clothing industry and so much more
With these, it is clear that we, the current generation, are better in terms of technologies and innovation but are we better off in terms of morales and good heart also? It is no news again that this world or generation as we know it is morally inclined and conscious-less as there are many people with behaviours and traits that doesn't glorify themselves. The people of the old weren't whole saints also but in comparison, theirs were much better off ours as now we have all kinds of atrocities and misconduct like teenagers killing people for money, theft and robbery without care, scamming people of their hard earned money and so on .
Things like this in all put the gap between generations even in terms of the good deeds and bad deeds, not all of us are corupt nor bad hearted but it seems majority are bad eggs. We would thank God for all good and the bad and pray for a prosperous and beneficial generation.
Thanks for reading and Have a nice day.
Peer Pressure
Looking to make it up to Friends even when they are the ones who wronged you? Ever been in a situation where we are the ones forcing the relationship and commitments? Have you ever been in a situation where we are forced to take up behaviours of the peers we find amongst us or that gathering of friends of ours? All actions that we might have taken that weren't from our own free will must have been influenced under peer pressure and most times doesn't tell well on us.
`What is Peer Pressure - this is the influence we feel or are under by one's peer or our group of gathering that makes us want to do the things they do.`
Sometimes rules can't be bent but not to be broken blindly, a fair sense of responsibility must be present. In our gathering of friends, we must learn to be ourself and our true self, not to be swayed or deceived into doing things that is against our will. When one is in the midst of people who doesn't respect our decisions and feel we must be under theirs and follow blindly, we must try to break free of those bonds. We are the architects of our own lives and therefore we are responsible for whatever happens in our lives and if we wish to be directed by the influence of others in order to live our lives, then we must be ready to accept whatever responsibilities those actions bring. There are good effects of Peer pressure as there are bad effects; one can be amongst groups of people who like to explore life, read books, ask questions in class, participate in community activities and sooner or later we would find ourselves doing such acts also as our group which we walk and interact with regularly engages in such activities likewise when we find ourselves amongst people who smoke, drink, engage in evil vices, we would tend to also do the same thing as the popular adage goes " *Show me your friends and I will tell you who you are*". Peer pressure also can be of great influence and hard to avoid when we get attached to our kind of friends, in constant touch with them and when we are doing things regularly, a way to stop bad Peer pressure from rubbing on us would be to distant our selves from people engaging in such.
Peer pressure manifests itself in all areas ... Peer pressure can be found in the school, community and in the government. We are the ones who know what we want and what we are capable of, doing beyond our reach and capabilities can be at times damaging and devastating. All fingers are not equal and we should learn to tread in ours carefully likewise cut our coats according to our sizes. We can try to also change the behaviours we don't like that we see people around us exhibiting and teach them the right way to act and behave and those who don't agree to us can be cut off. Falling to the effects of peer pressure can change our lives drastically as a good soul can inherit bad traits from their friends and therefore become a bad soul in turn. Anything we don't want to inculcate or harbour should not even be allowed in our vicinity either through friends or families.
We should be careful of the kind of friends we keep and watch how we relate with them in turn with the society and organisations. Thanks for reading and your time , have a nice day.
Team-Work
In an instant òr so in our respective lives, we have been grouped with some people that were called our Team and were tasked with the responsibility of doing something productive. It would then be left to the team and its leader to sit down, think and map out plans, designate duties/tasks depending on each and every member skill-set and how each and everyone would carry out his or her duties with the expectancy of good results. Every team must be co-ordinated, co-operative, èager to work and at least have a leader; all these attributes is what constitute to be Teamwork. An individual on his or her own might not be able to produce results by themselves and need the support and help of others to achieve said results. It can be in our place of work, our society or in our school, more hands leads to more results but in contrast to this popular idiom " Too many Cooks spoil the Broth" many can decide to not use many manpower but the real life case is how the many cooķs are used.
In the case of the stated idiom that "*Too many Cooks spoil the Broth"*, it is very much true as when all the Cooks are directly involved in the cooking of the Broth like the stirring, seasoning, steaming, mixing and all, as different Cooks can have different approaches to Cooking and different style of hands òf cooking ( *some stir softly, some stir violently, some add ½ onions, some add 1½ onions and so many differences )* and when all these are combined in direct application to the cooking of the Broth , it can be disastrous but when division of labour is applied to the case of the many cooks, efficiency is achieved. A particular cook can be tasked with the direct cooking while others can be involved indirectly in cooking the Broth like prepping down the ingredients, cleaning and sterilising of Utensils, cleaning the work station, setting timers and so more. In a team, there is no minor job... all job are as equal as they are all important in ensuring productivity, so one shouldn't say i have the most important job of all or that i have the most useless job of all ; all are key and vital and equal as well. When all these tasks are divided amongst themselves and done dutifully , an excellent result will be yielded.
Division of labour is an approach in a team where different steps in a line of production is being shared to respective workers and they are to work as a team while executing each of their given jobs - Teamwork excels well . This method of Division of labour has been known to be effective and time-efficient as it increases the rate of production and output. In a team, it is left for each and everyone to put trust and confidence in each and everyone of the team member to carry out their jobs. Not everyone would truly be gifted or bestowed with gifts and talents but we would all work towards getting better. Each member in a team can also look out for others in the team in case of where their jobs are lacking oŕ where correction is being needed as no single tree makes a forest and no single man bears "WE" . We are all each other keepers and guide.
Let all learn to work in unison and as a team as with such we would all excel together and be given gratitude as a Team. This is my little piece, thanks for reading and Have a nice day.
Read A Book Today...
Read a book today! You might ask, What kind of books ? What forms of books ?What genre of books ? What shape of books? Truly some of us read books but are we reading the correct books? Don't quote me wrong, all books are informative and worth learning from but some books if not all have a sector of audience in which it is addressing or being addressed to. Truthfully speaking, I am not a fan of books ... Well, physical books I mean , I love and would prefer reading E-books, pdfs, slides and online materials to reading physical books and not that I can't read or won't read them when presented with it or won't read them when they are the only choice at hand. Speaking of E-books, just by surfing on the Web and even being on read.cash engaging, reading others articles and writing articles we all are reading a book.
Like we do say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away so does reading a book a day keeps the dullness away. Reading tends to keep the brain and mind in check and in constant cycle, reading consistently also sharpens our skills set and polishes our verbal and qualitative reasoning. We know words and their correct spellings, we know how to differentiate words, we know how to use words and when to use them correctly. Reading books also keeps us in the loop of current affairs of what is happening in our environs, community, country and even the world at large.
Right from our primary educational background and as far back as I can remember, we have been reading books and being taught in that manner even though at that age I hated reading and studying but now I know that it was all for my benefits and Growth. A Book can be any printed or written material with information meant to be passed across and learnt on it. We encounter dozens of books in a day and we should make it an habit to learn to pick them up and read once in a while apart from the ones we normally read. Students shouldn't be new to the system as normally, a student would have that academic material which he/she is reading for his/her institution.
Learning to read all kinds of books and gain a vast area of knowledge helps alot like when I was in the Science Department in my High School, I avoided a lot of Novels, prose and poetry books as I saw by myself that i didn't need them or the skills and it was a stereotype at that time that " Science students don't read Novels and it was considered an abomination ~lol~ " but when I got to College, I felt the gap and hole I left by not reading Novels back then as i had some courses I am doing that requires me to do ( read Novels) and the way I had Brought myself up really hinders me as I can read an engineering book for hours but can't read a novel for hours. An engineering student can pick up Medicine related books and read them, a Law student can read a Geology related book likewise an English Major student can read Engineering books - no knowledge is a waste and all things read whether in line of our study or not helps in contributing to our improvement and knowledge.
Normalise reading a book a day to breathing, doing it with will and subconsciously that even if we are idle, we should be caught reading. Without it we are incomplete and not whole, let make it as paramount as that.
Thanks for reading and Have a nice day ahead.
Work Is Worship
Have you ever been falsely accused of doing something addictively or accused of doing something without hearing or looking from your point of view? We would be looking at the excessive of action and deeds today such as in the terms of Alcoholics ! Triviaholics ! Craftaholics ! Colaholics ! The word; Holic, Holic, Holic appearing everywhere ... Grammarians right but not this time ~lol~ All -types of holic suffixes means an abnormal desire of doing something or an addictive sense of belonging to a particular habit. We would all be familiar with the word WORKAHOLIC as we might have been categorised as such in one time or the other in our life or we might have friends that have fell into such prospects before; The term Workaholic is used for people who work round the clock, tirelessly and without reprove. A place of work can be self owned with one being the entrepreneur in charge or the Director or a place of work can be where one was employed to work and share his services with the company and get paid in return while some dont get paid in return like those in Apprenticeship.
Workaholics are often misunderstood as not all is what it seems to be. A not-yet-married individual who fends for himself by earning money from his place of work would want to do all he could do in his Boss's interest to satisfy the Boss and get good reviews from him, no worker wants to be fired from his place of work when he has no plans of quitting yet or has no other source of income yet. Compromises and falling victims of circumstances is a whole common play workers experience as things and plans tend not to fall in place for all of them.at times. It is true that jobs differs from jobs and post of offices also differ from each other as two people can both be employed in different workplaces but the rank and benefits received would rightly outweigh each other. A Bank Manager is being employed, he doesn't own the bank likewise is a Sales Representative in a store but we all know that their level of expertise and respect in the sector as a whole differs.
Workaholics are being said to take their jobs or workplace as a place of worship with their Bosses being the god and that all they do is to serve and worship their Bosses and his cause. Work is worship, seeing things from a working man perspective is really different and story changing. To the people of the community, friends and family, they might see a working man as one who has placed his workplace above all things ... going to work as early in the morning and coming home late at night and repeating the cycle all through the month (some even work on Weekends ) but does anyone even see or view from the working man perspectives as he might be working extra in order to make some extra cash to be able to pay for his house and electricity bills, foot his children school fees, pay for his parents medical treatments, treat himself and much more and his periodic salary payments wouldn't be able to cover for all these.
The world had evolved and changed in a lot of ways, changed in ways that nobody does things out of the blind and without reasons anymore. Anything done by people nowadays are as a cause of having sat down to reason and strategise a plan to tailor into them achieving their goals. A round-the-clock working man "a Workaholic" might, yes in fact, worship his job and treat it with utmost importance but that can be because he has no other choice or means of income or plans to achieve his set goals, which in this case are mostly financially based.
So, truthfully speaking, one's work can be one's worship but it doesn't mean we should always judge a book by its cover as there can be more hidden under the hood than is left to be seen. This also doesn't mean we shouldn't be diligent in our work or give our best out in our respective workplaces.
That would be all for today. Have a nice day ahead.
Environmental Pollution 2
#*45*
Almost every one has a car and two in every five persons has a car that contributes mainly to the accumulation of Carbon monoxide in the atmosphere. Humanity truly solved the issues of transportation and now we can go anywhere with ease and also save time but at what cost? Cars are major participants in the revolutionising of the century and as well also in the polluting of the air and work is being done to reduce such by the introduction of electric cars, the *Tesla company* that is being run by Elon Musk is a company that manufactures electric cars. Truly, if all car owners dumb their petrol-run cars and uses electric cars, the pollution of the air would be reduced drastically if not stopped completely but does the introduction of electric cars really does not have its own problem?
We might stop the pollution of the air and the creation of Carbon Monoxide by petrol run cars but does electric cars have no way it contributes to the pollution of the environment also. It does but it might not be by air, Electric cars are cars that uses batteries to run. They don't need fuel or combustion, they use Lithium ion batteries to power themselves - Yes, big strong powerful dutiful batteries. Batteries contains acid and other toxic substance like lead and sulphur which when exposed to the environment also plays it part like lead poisoning in water. When these Batteries are disposed off without measures or disposed off improperly, they find a way to get into the system and pollute it.
In the olden days, the means of transport on land was by carriage powered or motioned by animals like the Horses and the Donkeys, this method wasn't efficient and it was time consuming but it does keep the environment safe and also nourishes the soil as the faeces of these animals fertilise land as they journey and they also aid pollination as they help the movement of pollen grains.
There is no good deeds that doesn't have its disadvantages and there isn't any bad deeds that doesn't have an advantage also, we should all just try to do things in proportions, as we would not beause of pollutions decide to go back to the stone age once more and leave all machines and we can't also say because we are yearning for a better future for ourselves and we should destroy this World we live in. Oil companies also release oil waste and by-products into the sea thereby harming life under the sea but the oil companies are involved in the production of gas and other Petroleum commodities. Not just that, littering is also considered pollution as we introduce strange substances to the land like plastic bags and sheets which are non-biodegradeable over a long time and are long term pollutant.
We are working towards a greener planet by planting more trees to help in the balancing of the ecosystem and creation of more oxygen filled atmosphere than Carbon Monoxide and also reduce global warming. There are people who are volunteers in helping keep the world clean as they participate in activities that aims towards cleaning and reducing material pollutants in their areas or community.
Pollution is bad and we should all do our best to participate in it diminishing by Reusing, Recycling and Reducing materials and waste properly. Let all be a friendly habitant and help clean the world and reduce pollution. Have a nice day ahead.
Environmental Pollution
The 21st Century is the Century of Miracles and Growth. Many things happening in this century that couldn't have been phantomed or beliveed many decades back. So many things have been achieved that has really stamped our names as Human Beings, being the highest and smartest animal in the *Bloodchain* ... even though we haven't become god-like yet as at now but we can still confidently and boastfully say there isn't anything we can't do. We have cutting edge technologies which have make lives easier for us and the rate at which information and improvements spans across the world is alarming as they were never seen - digital money being one of them ( Cryptocurrency).
As a quote from our friendly neighbourhood franchises , *" With great power, comes great responsibility"* . All these growth and positivity would come to the expenses and detriments of one thing or the other and it is our responsibilities to shoulder those burdens and power, a reference I would be picking would be **POLLUTION**.
Pollution in general would mean the contamination of a pure space/system by something toxic or bad which would affect the system in a negative way.Environmental pollution here would mean the realase of harmful toxins or waste into the environmental system that tends to harm and deter the normal functioning of the system. Pollution might be intentional or not, it can also be deliberate.
There are many types of pollution as there are many forms of pollutants, we have types of pollution mainly being; Air pollution, Land pollution, Water pollution. As most of us would know, that Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a chief pollutant of the air/atmosphere in association with SO2 and NO2.
Looking into Carbon Monoxide, it can be gotten from the partial combustion of Carbon in air or burning of Carbon in limited supply of air - simply put, when we burn fuel, we create Carbon Monoxide. Carbon Monoxide is dangerous to the health and it is introduced into the body system through inhalation ( breathing), when Carbon Monoxide is inhaled into the body it mixes with the blood - thee blood contains Haemoglobin which is responsible for the transportation of oxygen within the body but when Carbon Monoxide mixes with this, the flow of oxygen is Limited and ultimately stopped thereby leading to the affected dieing of suffocation or starvation of the body cells of oxygen. This would happen to the person if Carbon monoxide accumulates in proportions in the blood for a long time or a huge volume of Carbon monoxide is introduced into the body at a time. With this little insight of mine, we can see how dangerous the Carbon Monoxide pollutant is, in the atmosphere and in our body system. Chief producers of this Carbon Monoxides are from Cars exhaust, generators and huge fuel/diesel run machines.
I would have to cut it short here but I would be talking more and extensively about environmental pollution n my next article. Keep the world clean and have a nice day.
A Mixed Dish: Varieties
Having a Mixed Dish once in a while isn't so bad and obscure. You might decide to take something different from your routinely meal or add some dishes to your main dishes and see how it goes. The feeling to fall out of line sometimes and go out a bit of comfort zone or from the trends really do triggers us, Humans, at times and it all being categorised as being Different and Exploring various possibilities. I would be doing a different mix of contents today in a bid to try something different and fun
***●*** *****JOKES********__***
*So there they were , both the Farmer and the Police Officer in front of the Judge and the following conversation ensued :*
**JUDGE** : Farmer Rick, what I have here is that you are charging this young kind Police Man to court for damages done to you and your animals ...
**FARMER RICK** : Yes , my Lord
**JUDGE** : It is also stated that during the incident which was almost six months ago that you told the officer that you were, I quote *"perfectly fine and okay"* ... is that also true ?!
**OFFICER** : Heck yeah , he did say that! *( The Police Man bellowed )*
**FARMER RICK** : *( With a subtle and calm voice )* Yes , I did but with reasons My Lord ..
**JUDGE** : Okay , go on ... tell the court room and the jury your reasons
**FARMER RICK** : It was a sunny afternoon at the Countryside , the wind perfect as a well brewed coffee and the sun hot enough to bask in and get a tan done ... I was taking my three cows to the grazing land while riding my horse and using my stick to direct them .. Then , there came this mad Officer riding his Jeep bursting out of the blues like a mad rhino fighting for territory , it was too late and sudden to get out of the way . I , my horse and three cows were caught at the mouth of the jeep as the jeep rammed us all to one side of the road ... I opened my eyes to see the Officer out of his partly wrecked Jeep already with his pistol and went over to my cows and asked them " are you okay ?!" .. the Cows mooed in pain ... he shot them all , I was shocked; he went over to my horse also and asked them also "are you okay ?!" my horse neighed in pains also ...he shot it dead; Now , he then came to me and asked the same question "are you okay ?!"
-- The farmer went silent for a while --
**THE ( CURIOUS ) JUDGE:** (Leaning over his chair with anxiety) Well , what did you say ?!
**FARMER RICK** : What the heck did you want me to say ?!!!!!!
●***T********HOUGHTS ON FEAR___*****
Fear, the driving force of most and the impaling spear of others. Fear maketh a man and it also destroys a man, those who conquers their fears are deemed the Victors while those who succumb to their fears are the Defeated. Like ashes after fire, so is our shallow self after losing to our fears. Being afraid or having the sense of fear really do help a man, as it makes us to think, evaluate and compare but all in a case where we are in control of the fear and not when the fear is in control. He who is being controlled by fear wouldn't see the diamond being clouded by such fear. Fear has its claws and it grips us all clenched, only the strong and determined breaks free from such captivity.Fear can be our greatest asset and also our greatest weakness, it all boils down to how we see ourselves and overcome our fears.
Two contents shouldn't be too much and yet not little, see you guys soon as i head on to do my daily activities. Have a nice day.
An Insight: Does Sheer Hardwork Guarantee Success?
The world in general or let me just say my country, in particular, have this strong belief that all what is to be and that will become is through a man's hardworking and power but is that truly all there is to it ? Does working hard really guarantee a greener pasture and better path for someone ... Well, we can't say for sure . People who work hard and then see results can term it on their persistent nature and hardworks but what about people who work and don't see results, didn't they also have the persistent nature or put in enough hard work?
Most of my articles here on read.cash if not all labels Life and Reality as being unbiased and unequal, it doesn't give us all the same results even if we put in the same efforts. We can be left sometimes to wonder and marvel at the wonderful works of nature and gifts given to us by God, some of us utilise them well and yield maximum results with these gifts mainly because we discover them early or have a guide in using them while some of us, even having discovered those gifts stil can't make good use of them or put them to yield good results. It would seem all humans are different and that all the fingers ain't equal in height despite them belonging to the same hand after all but would it be bad if we were all equal and treated equally and same ?
***"... To Each Man His Own; To Each Man His Own Path "***
Grace would be the order-term of the day to people who marvels and flourishes in whatever they are involved in, they would say it is all Grace and God's benevolent doings to them ... I don't condemn giving praises to God for his doings in our lives and His abundant care over us because without Him, we all are nothing regardless of the fact of whether we serve him or not or follow Him but wouldn't this Grace and benevolence be one-sided at times, wouldn't it be considered unequal and partial at times- I would leave you ( The Audience) to ponder on that and come to a conclusion but I could be certain that majority of us, including me the Writer would come to the same conclusion.
Sheer hardwork doesn't guarantee success neither does a care-free and nonchalant attitude bestows one with success however in some individuals case who are being blessed with "*Grace and God's Benevolence"* might find these different as their carefree or nonchalant attitude can bring them fortune likewise their hardworks also. Every man needs to know what works for him or her and move at his pace regardless of what is happening around them. The sooner we all know this, the better .
Feel free to check on my amazing sponsors who have stayed with me even though I back slid for some moments on read.cash... i love you all .
La Remontada
La Remontada; the order of life to those wiling to rule, the order of life to those determined, the order of life to the yet determined people. All things done in life would be in a bid to get the clearer picture of our dreams, we fail at times if not all times and should we lose light of our goal ?
La Remontada is a Spanish Word that has come to
limelight,Life and into our lives meaning -
" The Comeback "
I am reminded of one of the greatest inventor of time, ***Thomas Edinson*** with over one thousand patents in his name and amongst his invention was the notable *Light Bulb.* Thomas tried two thousand materials in a bid to find a perfect filament material for the Light Bulb ( of which Tungsten later turned out to be the winner ) and also, he did a total of one thousand attempts before he finally succeeded in making the Light bulb. They were words of enlightenment Edinson said that made me realise Life is not over for those who hasn't given up and that Life has more in store for the visionaries and optimists.
**The First ;**
`When his assistant told him that they have learnt nothing from their trial and error methods for the search of a suitable filament, he replied his assistant saying "No, we have learnt that there is at least two thousand materials that wouldn't fit to be a filament for the Light bulb "`
**The Second ;**
`When he was told that he failed one thousand times before making the light bulb, he said "No, that the Light Bulb had one thousand steps".`
In all these words, we see that a comeback in life is possible to those who believe and can actually yearn to reach for it.
*___________****LA REMONTADA*** *___________*
My Spanish friends and the Football Lovers wouldn't be new to this word also. La Remontada in Football is coined to the Barcelona comeback against PSG in a UCL R16 match day in 2017 when Barcelona overcomed a 4-0 deficit from PSG in the first leg to later win 6-1 in the second leg at Camp Nou, on aggregate Barcelona won 6-5. The match was a spectacular one and one worth remembering as it was a match that has all the elements of tears, determination, fight, will and passion. It showed that when there is life, there is hope. Where there is a will to fight, there is a cause.
Not giving up in whatever we do and striving to come out with the best results and overturn all deficits and setbacks into success is part of the abilities that truly makes us Humans invaluable and unique. Where there is life, there is Hope and that Hope is the light at the end of our dark tunnel and a silver lining of our dark clouds.
Never give up and coming out strong, no matter the situation.
The Inheritance
*THE INHERITANCE*- I was influenced of this title by a movie I watched on MMovies Zone, the film was radical and very much intriguing and suspenseful. It entailed betrayal, trust, loyalty, desires and more all being passed down from Parents to Children. You can access the film via this link , I guarantee you it will make your time worth while. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.imdb.com/title/tt10204512/&ved=2ahUKEwjN0L33mY72AhVdgf0HHaMXCMwQtwJ6BAghEAE&usg=AOvVaw1Suqo6lQ7rx7LlFb17T3EM
This title might seem a bit off in context of this article and would be seen to be addressing a particular set of people like the married men and the married women, the wealthy, the entrepreneurs and sorts - people who have materials or infrastructures worth leaving down for their loved ones when they pass away but I say unto you today that, Inheritance doesn't necessarily mean material possession or things that can be passed on neither does it mean that only those who are well-made financially and materially can only pass down Inheritance.
Without beating about the Bush, what would we all know or define as Inheritance ? Inheritance has diverse meaning and diverse applications all being used according to the belief and situation at hand, at most, Inheritance would be that material or possession of which a person or an organisation is entitled to possess or inherit or own by some forelaid down laws or rules or instructions by a given person who is usually known to be dead by the time of realisation of the said-inheritance. A *Will* would be that legal document backing and affirming the transfer of Inheritance.
Back to the issue at hand, by those definitions it would seem only those who have can give, only those who see can lead, only those who care can show sympathy but not all times warrant that material things are inherited, Inheritance can be Abstract at times.
To the family circle, children can inherit traits and characters from their Parents either genetically, physically or by actions.The things a child sees or hears that is being practised in his home can be inherited by the child subconsciously without even the child knowing. Parents lifestyle play an important role in influencing the lives of their children, this impact can be positive or negative.
To the Government, citizens can inherit what is being laid down by the country in terms of leadership and governance. Whatever is being shown to the Citizens would be what they intend to adapt to and pass on also, making it an inherited trait by leadership.
Inheritance in general can have impact on the receivers life and turn his/her way of thinking. We should be careful of what we pass down as Inheritance to others and also be mindful of what we receive as the main cast, *Lauren* in the fore-mentioned film above learnt from the Inheritance from her father.
" One good turn deserves another" but "not all good turn warrants another" ! . Have a nice day.
Shedding Off Old Skin
This would be a little from the books of Reminiscing, once upon a time in my High School days- being the little and shy boy I was, I wasn't very outspoken. Taking it way back from the Primary School days, I was shy all round and a stammerer ( i stutter when I speak and I don't speak fluently ) , a rumour I heard about stammerers was that their mouth can't catch up with the pace at which their brain thinks and therefore the mouth has difficulty in relating everything the brain processes at once and hence lag and breaks leading to stammering in speech. That being said, on getting in to the first class of High School after some time, I stopped my stammer maybe because we are being taught to think more stepwisely and pacefully with our brain and construct ordinated speech. I never thought I would grow up to become the man i am today as my future regarding my personality was blurry then but now it is clearer; as for now, the distant future is also blurry as I can only decipher so much of my next moves. The old skins I shed were much and insecurities were attached to most of them if not all, from the fact that I was short, shy and afraid. A spectacular trait of then that I wouldn't forget was my inability to speak to girls and look them in the face while talking, I do most of my talking with girls while looking away from them or looking at their shoulders lol.
Some habits are to be picked up and dropped later off, some stick with us to the end while some fall off as we progress in life. Hobbies are things or activities we love and have joy in while doing them, we shed off old skins of habits in a bid to evolve to a better life and mindset. We drop all insecurities and unwanted hinges attached to our lives. Old skins can be that odd/bad friend, that nasty job, that illegal job -as far as we are doing better and great without them.
Back to me, i would be that odd and timid guy. I never really loved my personality back then and worked towards improving myself by engaging in extra curricular activities and chatting with people in my class via social media. As at the writing of this article, I am 6"1 tall as compared to 4"9 of before....lol, I think i had a growth spurt and I have my confidence boosted as I now present projects for my class and defend them while facing large crowd of people. All thanks to God , hard work and consistency.
I shed off my old skin and now living a better life , I would implore us all too , to drop that diminishing and insecure habits that makes us have low self esteem and feel inferior. Have a good and blessed day, y'all.
The Luxury
💫💫💫💫💫💫 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 💫💫💫💫💫💫
I always dreamed of having it big and making it loud in life right from the onset; driving the flashiest car, live in a mighty mansion, rock killer wears - have life all to myself in all its luxury and magnificent but reality is harsh. Living in an absolute opposite of your dreams really hurts bad and it is really nobody's fault to bear. A comfortable life is affordable and at the same time expensive depending on how each and every one of us define our comfortability. A man with one pair of trousers and two shirts might be comfortable and living a luxurious life as compared to another who might have ten pair of trousers and a dozen shirts and still yearn for more and claim he isn't okay with it.
Desire and lust really does move a man to his goals and to achieve his long life dream whether by the legal or illegal way but does it really pays ? We should all learn to be comfortable and thankful in all situations we find ourselves in notwithstanding we should always pray and yearn for more at our own pace and with God's consents. This doesn't mean we should be stagnant and not make aim and drives to move forward, to a better life to a more comfortable lifestyle but as I have said, all these depends on each and everyone of us lifestyle.
How do you see your luxury life or define your luxury life? Well, if put to me, my luxury life would be living a life where everything I want at the moment should be within my reach and disposal be it financially or materially ... *"Having troubles imagining that lifestyle of mine- let me simplify, i want a life where if I needed a laptop now, I would just go the market and get a new one, a life where if i wanted a new phone,I would just go the market and get a new one, a life where if I wanted a new pair of sneakers, I would go to the Nike store and get a new one, a life where if I wanted to buy a car, I would just go to the car dealers and get one - a life where I have all and any materials ready and sufficient enough to meet any of my day-to-day needs or extravagant lifestyle*".
💫💫💫💫💫💫 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 💫💫💫💫💫💫
Most people also live luxury life but not to their taste, many get their wants but not their desires. We might not all get exactly what we want but we get what we need and this seem to put most people at an edge and make them uneasy. In what sense you might ask? I might want a sneakers, a Nike sneakers to be precise and the latest one as a matter of fact ... if we look closely YES -I do need a sneakers but I also want a specific one and if I am able to get another sneakers which is not Nike just cause I wasn't able to afford the Nike own, I would feel bad and down thinking about how life is cruel and harsh whereas the primary goal of me getting a sneakers to cover my feet and serve as an accessory was achieved. Many don't even have half or a single piece of what we have and yet they are grateful and contented with what they have.
Like a shallow water, tread Life carefully and look before jumping or diving into decisions.
Appreciation and contentment goes a long way in configuring the shape of our lives and we must be cautious and careful in how we tread life and use our opportunities and chances. Living a luxurious and flashy life is not paramount and it also doesn't set a yardstick for others that can't afford such a lifestyle, moving at one's own pace is what is most important and vital. Do not fall into peer pressure as not all fingers are equal. It is also advisable to go out of our comfort zones once in a while and try new things, try out that Spa massage you have always wanted, try out that Keto diet, sign up for that gym class, get that new moisturiser- if they make you feel okay and comfortable, it is acceptable.

Fighting The Urge
Not all actions are true and pure, some are for good while some are evil. Thoughts of the mind brew out actions of the hands and we are the ones who would tell and lecture ourselves into deciding which action to take or not to take, talk ourselves into deciding to fight the urge or not. Most people have self control over their bodies while some don't and will later fall slave to the thoughts of the mind. Dangerous thoughts would have disastrous endings and a life-time scar feeling on the perpetrator regardless of whether he/she feels the guilt or not. I, as an example, have this irresistible urge to always find something to eat regardless of whether I had eaten or not, I just want to be found mouthing on something or nibbling away on a snack and this act doesn't tell well on my pocket as it makes me spend unnecessarily, leaving me without budgets or pull-backs money.
Have you ever fought off an urge or a desire to do something before, be it a good thing or a bad thing ? The urge to do something that isn't that much important but also trivial. An urge, would be that irresistible force or impulse to delve in an act at hand. We fight off a lot of urges most times, as on careful consideration they seem to hurt or dent our social image and look unnecessary and something one could do away with. Some urges are bad to commit and inflict damage or pain to the person it is being done on or the doer. A lot of us fight away the desire to do things at most times and mainly because we evaluated it and it fell short on luck. Procrastination also can be related to fighting an urge, Procrastination is the act of delaying or shifting an intended task to be done further in time, it might be in a bid to cover up another chores or deal with an impromptu.
What urges do we fight secretly behind our closed doors? We are not all perfect and must have shortcomings in a way or the other but are those short comings a worthy one to tell or have a friend know about? We have to answer this question as if the answer to it is NO, then those shortcomings have to be fought. Eating beyond by financial budget is a shortcoming on my part but it is still presentable to friends and can be laughed over and with time, it can be fought and won over completely. Addiction also reduces ones fighting power over urges as we see it as à normal act and that it bare no harm to us.
We should always and at all times have self control over ourselves and work towards the betterment of our reputation and image. In all we do, we should always look and try to leap to good standings and acts that glorifies and puts us at peace.
Your Replisation
Do you have an idea of what the word "Replisation" means or heard of it before? I doubt it you have heard of it as even Google or the Dictionary can't help. Replisation would mean the replies of the mouth, the act of replying- lol. How we reply to people's opinion and the intents of their mind with our spoken words really goes a long way. People takes things and matters differently and react differently also, what we say and how we say them really matters.
Not all humans are good with the use of word and some do hit the nail straight on the head but we as a person, have we really hurt someone or made some one feel bad with the words of our mouth. I can say that we learn how to caution our tongues but that feat is for the trained and those who knows how to hold themself. As they say, action speaks louder than words but there is something most don't know, the words can hurt more than the actions taken. We must all learn to be cautious of how we use our words to our fellow humans or colleagues as a wrong speech can cause separation to those who are sensitive and in turn lead to severing of friendship. We don't have to reply or say things sometimes as we can keep quiet and hold our peace in order to maintain order and friendship.
Doing the right things also matters, speaking up on public and honest matters to get your point across. Nor all would accept but it is good to stand up for other people who can't defend themselves or talk and we should be their mouth and speaker as we would be rewarded in kind later.
The Multitude
Many are called but few are chosen, many seek but few find. Such is life as we don't always get what we want and have to try again harder. I would say we are more than one billion people on this planet Earth, that's a lot of numbers and we all have plans slated down in one way or the other. Plans to achieve dreams and become a notable figure in the society, plans to get that dream car or build that dream house and with the population of the world, at least two people should be thinking of the same thing at a particular point in time but no two person has the same fingerprints.
The multitude of the planet and our diversities never ceases to amaze me and I must say it is a way to admire and magnify God's work. Every human being on Earth has a different face from the other and no two perosn has the same face, they might be a striking resemblance but no two person has the same face. There are different races, different continents, different culture, different languages and whole lot more. The mystery of life is undefinable and not understanding- we try our best to approach and reach that conclusion that we fully understand how life works but in part or all, we are wrong. Scientists try their very best to be able to define Life for us and come up with many theories and proofs and we must say, they have really done a great job as they help us shed more light on what it is that is going on around us rather than us just leaving all these to be but are the Scientists really showing what is it that operates the claim or just trying their best to be able to put down a terrestrial claim that we can all see and feel as those tends to stick more.
Well, we may or may not know for sure but I do know i have grown to appreciate and cherish the life I live and situations I find myslf in. The world is forever expanding with the innovation of new ideas and technology and we are leading to a life where being digital would be the order of the day as almost everything as been digitalized and computerised even to the beck of spending money. We all, the multitude of Earth, are in one way or the other responsible for one another. We Care for each other either knowing or unknowingly and that is just beautiful. Not all of the Multitude are blessed or have it good, some strive to make ends meet while some barely lift a finger before they have what they want. This also beautifies the world as it adds uniqueness to the way things are viewed as if we all have the same things and get what we want whenever we want, this world would be boring; inequality also is a strong fort.
My question to you now is , how do you view the world and its Multitude?
***Since I haven't posted for a while , I just have to drop this random thought that keeps popping in and out of my head since last week. It is a random thought but I do feel it talks to us in a way ... Ciao.***
My friends, I would like to implore you all as regards my engagement on read.cash. it would be little as compared to before as I am already in Collge and not enough time is given to me to spare, I might not visit all articles but I would try my best ... this academic period really hitting us all 😁
A Good Day
I would first of all like to thank you all that supported me and advised me as regards my last article. I really appreciate you all and much love from me to you and may you always grow higher and with more wisdom in Jesus Name. Today is a good day as most of my wishes has come to pass, God never leaves his people and always stand by their side. I have arrived at school and as usual, it was as hectic as I had imagined. Running from here to there in pursuit to accomplish goals and beat deadlines, the feels and thrills of being exhausted but yet not giving up.
My day started to go all awry from the public transport where I couldn't find my transport fare in my trouser's pocket as I had thought I kept it there, a fee of about $5. I had to source another money to pay for my fare and I felt down as I had lost part of money I was meant to manage in catering for myslf. I, arriving at the car park was toggled and dragged by the Luggage Carriers who help returning travellers carry their luggage, a good task to do but the way it is done is so rough. They fight for your luggage as he who secures the luggage gets to carry it and get paid a certain fee. I yelled at them to leave me alone that I would carry the luggage myself but it all was an act of courage as I was tired and down. On walking down the tarred but yet dusty road a bit, an uncle of mine whom appeared to have seen me from afar crossed me with his car, and sitting in the front was his wife, aunty Susan and offered to give me a lift to school, who was I to reject such an heavenly offer? I felt relieved as he dropped me in front of the school gate and gave me a little tip, which I used in consoling myself of the transport money I allegedly lost. I got in the schools premises and proceeded down to my hostel of residence, laid down for a bit and continued my journey.
From that moment till now I found mercies all round as all the things I had planned to buy were all half the prices and saving me money. As I got to my hostel to unpack my goods, I saw the transport fare tucked nicely between the trousers of my suit wears and I smiled and rejoiced and praise the Lord as He had been good to me. I cooked a nice meal for myself to eat and some friends joined me also, we rewinded by playing some soccer games on the PES3 console and I lost badly to them. I am well rested now and I have to cover up notes that has been written by my fellow mates cause lectures had begun a long time. I have generous friends and caring ones also. This would be my round up as I have things to do and see you guys next time.
The Usefulness Of Parents
***Disclaimer: This article contains words of pain and chastisement. If you can't bear hate and sensitive words, i advise you scroll pass.***
Having been here for a month on read.cash and having you guys follow me and read my articles, you would all know that I tend to write about how I feel most of the times as my articles with the likes of The Biased system: A cruel life, The unspoken truth and so on and right now, I am moved to anger and tears. I am moved to anger right now and I just felt to vent it off into writing here on read.cash. I might be criticised by most people on this article's content and judged by, I would feel no guilt as this is what has truly happened. Are Parents all that useful? Yes, they brought us into the world and took Care of us till we are of age but once we can fend for ourselves and know the right from the left, are Parents still needed in our lives? I would forget about all the terrestrial benefits and importance of Parents being our joy and shits and just move to the point.
We had resumed College since last month and I reviewed all my bills to pay in school and i saw that my personal savings won't be able to cover all of them, roughly 40% but I mainly have my savings for backup. I had the mindset that my Parents also had me at heart to resume and would prepare some funds for me, I was set to add a job as a part time to the one I am currently doing during this holiday but they rebuffed me. To be particular, my dad is my headache... he had been great once and catered for me till i grew of age but I can say that he hasn't had any impact on my life since the time I became a full fledged teenager as at 18yrs of age. My Mum is the best, she is there for me at all times .. she is my support and pillar and the one i am indebted to amongst my Parents. She gives me out of the little she has even though she has a petty job , my Dad earns far more than my Mum but he still has no savings. He is a squanderer who just loves to eat and spend his money all at once . I had a talk with my Parent that I was to resume school and that this is the amount I have, as usual... my mum came through and said how much she had been saving for me also but my Dad said he had nothing not even a dollar to contribute. I was shocked and all these days he had been lying to me saying he was gathering money and even stopped me from working extra. I am soo Furious right now, if not for the little earnings I made from menial Jobs and funds made from read.cash thanks to support from you all, the read.cash users and Rusty, the Random Rewarder ... if not for you guys, i would have nothing to bring forth to the table to support myself as my Mum contributions wouldn't take me far financially even though I appreciate her efforts.
What are the usefulness of Parents is what I would ask again... not all Parents are contributing and supportive. Some really do their best for their children and they are to be celebrated and praised but mine is the opposite as only my Mum would get such appreciation . I have cried and prayed to God to bless my Mum and my hands also and multiply the little we have. I might reconcile with my Dad later but we would never be on good terms, I appreciate him so far and I really do but truth being said, he has little to no involvements in my life as from the time i turned a teenager.
It might have been wrong for me to come to read.cash and say this here but I see you guys as my confidant and those I can share my feelings with , I know I might get some negative feedbacks from the contents of this article but it really need to be done.
There Are No Losers, Only Learners
Failure is a sad reality of life as it brings morale down and disappointment. We might try out some new things or give a new thing a trial of faith and later ending up failing in them. Does that mean we are losers? Does trying and failing makes one a ĺoser? Well, I say there are no losers, only learners. We learn every time and everyday in whatever actions we take whether it was successful or not. Failing also shouldn't weigh us down or let us lose hope in life. It is he who failed and bounced back up that is praised and not he who just failed and refused to get back right on track. We lose to try again but better than the last attempt, we survive a battle to live to fight another one again.
Like a piece I read in Jelena article where she said we should always be moving that if we can't fly, we should run, if you can't run, walk, if you can't walk,limp, if you can't limp, crawl, in whatever don't let the setbacks of failing or having failed get to you. Though all things might seem to have been lost, as the thought of recovering what have been lost looks impossible but it doesn't mean it isn't achievable. Many people have lost hope in life due to one reasons or another and I would say failure is one of those reasons. Some fail to learn from their mistakes before setting foot on the next adventure and ends up losing on both fronts, he who fail to learn from experiences would suffer bitter ends of it as they say "Experience is the best teacher". It can be likened to a student who wrote an exams and failed it, saw his mistakes and prepared again for the next exams but also failed - we wouldn't say the student isn't prepared or learnt from his mistakes as he wouldn't make the same mistakes that led to him failing the first exams in the second exams.
A point is that trying again doesn't mean or guarantee success but we won't redo what we did that led to the first failure and we would have learnt from all failures.
All these doesn't mean we shouldn't try all out best in the first attempt but failure is inevitable in some aspects and has to be embraced and lessons learned from it. I can bluntly say that there are some people who haven't failed in any areas in their lives ... strange we might say but such people might have banked and learnt from the failures of others and had their experiences to guide them.
A parting word , always learn from mistakes made and experience is the best teacher.
The Sweat Shop
The Sweat Shop - I saw this in a movie at a building as a Neon Sign Light and instinctly I figured it was a Gym and when Camera would roll further on the set, it was truly a Gym. Ever wanted to lose some fat or gain some muscles and you visit the Sweat Shop? The Gym is a sweat Shop if you think of it, it is a place we go when we need to exercise our bodies or get fit and we tend to sweat off in the process. Do you know sweating signifies good health and that one's body is functioning in the right order, it is also good to sweat as it is one of the ways by which the body system excrete waste products. I have always fancied a Gym as they have large mirrors, training weights, Cool Equipments and sort.
This kind of reminds me of High School when I wanted to compensate my lack of height with muscles by building my body but I could not afford to pay the Gym registration fees which was a bit high for my standard. I had to resort to home made Equipments like the shaft of a worn out car which I used and with other mates from the neighbourhood, we practised and got fit using materials we saw within us.
Exercise is a very vital essence of life whether it is done voluntarily or involuntarily; the three pillars to living an healthy and disease-free life are to Eat well, Rest well and Exercise well. Exercises helps to keep the bones strong and the body fat in check without having to worry of excess fat. We should always try to watch what we eat as the popular saying goes " You are what you eat" ... if you eat junks all the time, you slowly get overweight and can't do most basic chores which would involve bending, squatting, jumping and sorts. Foods that are rich in nutrients would soothe and do betterment to the body like consuming foods rich in Calcium, Potassium, Phosphorus, Iron, Sodium, Manganese. Nutrients are chemical compositions contained in food that we consume that aid in the developments of the body and itst maintenance, some nutrients are needed in minute quantities by the body and they are called Micro Nutrients while some nutrients are also needed in large supply by the body and they are called Macro Nutrients.
An action that can't be emphasised enough and that is as important as doing fitness training is the drinking of water regularly. Water is a very vital component of Life as we use water in almost all the day-to-day activities of man. Drinking water regularly also helps to flush the kidneys, digest eaten foods and also push down processed food down the intestines, a good intake of water aids the ease of excretion of faeces.
Knowing the right tips and hacks to living an healthy and fit life helps alot and gives one an edge in choosing what is right for him/her.
