Kicking Off The New Year It's a new year my friend, a new week and I've got to say congratulations for being alive to see it and in good health together with your loved ones, that's really a big deal. Even if you aren't seeing it with good health, but you're alive and to whom there's still life, there's hope, that's one of the least things this year should bring any one of us, **HOPE**. I'm sure during the new year eve, you were at one place or the other waiting for the…

The Marketplace (Part One) Today, I was at the market to meet someone and I couldn't help watching the multitude of people as they came and go doing their business. It occurred to me that the way our life works is simply a reflection of how a market works. I t's not like it's the first time I've had this thought. As a matter of fact, there's a ninety percent chance that anytime I set my foot on a market, I'm having this line of thought. Today was just the day I concluded and…
@Talon
The marketplace(Part Two) I wrote the part one of this article yesterday. I had to stop halfway as I was feeling really sleepy and it would have been too long if I had continued anyways. So, I thought to finish it today. In the first part, I talked about different market settings and how they definitely reflect some scenarios in our everyday living and lessons we ought to learn from them. Here's the link to the first part…

And So It Begins Today has been quite a day. I have started on another leg of my journey as a student today and even before I took the first step in this leg of journey, I already knew it was going to be one hell of a journey, but nobody made it optional for me. Since the school went on holiday last month, I've been dreading this day as I knew I was going to be grossly unprepared for when we resumed, but sadly I have no control over time. Having dreaded it for the whole of…
@Talon
Stretch Your Horizon As much as I wished time would just be stuck in a loop to stop today from ever happening, I couldn't actually stop it from happening and it was as awful as I thought it was going to be, if not more. What I didn't expect is that I would find a little bit of fun and excitement in that awfulness. The nightmare of a day basically started as early as 4:00AM, when we were all woken up, so there will be ample time for all of us to bathe and get ready for the…
@Talon
And So It Begins (Part Two) For the last two days, my articles has been written around my industrial training experience. While I've tried to draw out a lesson from everything that happens to me everyday here and base my article on it, my articles still sound a little book like a summary report 😂😂. I wish I could say it will get better, but I can't. For the next two weeks my articles are going to be reporting on my daily experiences in the farm. This is due to the fact that…
@Talon
And So It Begins (Part Three) Another day has come and gone and I hope you spent it well. Hope it was eventful and rewarding? For me of course, it was another day at the farm, another day to work myself to my limit and more. It started just like other days we've had since the beginning of our industrial training, but something I wasn't expectimg happened. When we woke up in the morning and people started for the bathroom to get their bath, we discovered there was no water.…
@Talon
A Good Day To Rest Well, I would be lying of I were to say I envisaged how things turned out today. It was to be another day at the farm, something I wasn't looking to. We woke up and did the routine and headed to the farm. On getting to the farm, we were informed that as a result of the meeting we had with the director of the farm the day before, Saturday as a workday has been scrapped. I was joyous, enough to do my version of dancing in public and that never happens. While…
@Talon
My First NFT Experience I've been having issues with coming up with things to write about. This is mostly due to the fact that by the time I get home from the farm, I'm both physically and mentally consumed. Either way, I still try to write something as I'm afraid of having my account spammed. I know you might find me paranoid, but for the past two weeks, rusty has been visiting me so little and in such an irregular manner that I'm afraid he's but just one step from leaving…

Aren't we all addicted? Habits are things that we've grown so used to that we always do. I was watching a series the other day and a guy said **"when we do things once, they may go unnoticed, twice it may be over looked but the third time it becomes a pattern".** If I'm to add one last bit I could say the fourth, fifth and sixth time,but becomes a habit. **Habits as defined by the English dictionary are actions that are performed on a regular basis.** When things are…
@Talon
My Encanto Experience It's interesting how we get to learn some of the best lessons we are ever going to learn from the most funny sources. As you probably know, I've been super busy and stressed this period due to my industrial training that I'm undergoing. Despite having had a break during the weekend, by the end of Monday, I had that 'I'm about to fall sick' feeling again, so I decided to find a way to earn myself a day's worth of extra rest. I'm not proud of it, but I…

What's With Non-Fungible Tokens(NFT) (Part One) Honestly speaking, I really still do not understand what NFT's are or the seeming craze behind it. How it is such a big deal to own a piece of art and pay astronomically huge sums of money for it is still a thing I can't quite fathom. But again I've always thought so of art in real life forms. I have always been baffled about how these insanely rich folks are willing to pay millions of dollars for what I thought to be just…
@Talon
What's With Non-Fungible Tokens(NFT) (Part Two) This is a continuation of the article https://read.cash/@Talon/whats-with-non-fungible-tokensnft-part-one-27ff696a, if you haven't read the first part, you can follow the link above. In the case of physical as well as audio-visual art, the owner holds the copyrights and reproduction right, but with NFT's, you don't even get that. Why your millions of dollars dished out might have earned you the owners title, the copyright and…

It's Not Real Illusions are a thing, only that we think they are real so we do not know when they are illusions. They are false fragment that we hold on to as dear, because at that moment they seem to be what they are not, real on the outside but fake and fleeting on the inside. As much as the word is not new, people who are found in this category never know that what they think is real are just illusions and they are what they are not. Its very common in our society today…

Not What I Expected ***Note: Lead image sourced from www.thesourceng.com*** Hello friends.Hope you've/are having a great day? I can't really complain about mine. For a guy whose really a kind of a football enthusiast from.a distance, I've actually given my whole day to football. This was not help by having my two favorite teams playing today and during different times of day. It was the first time in a long while that I had committed some time to watching football. I say…
@Talon
I Go Again It's been a long day, a long day of rest for me, I don't know about you. After going through the stress that my industrial training is now know for, I decided to have the weekend to myself and myself alone, to rest. I was suppose to go back to our lodge after work on Friday, but as a friend was coming home, I just decided to go with her. So, I basically left the farm and started coming home all filthy. I can't say it wasn't worth it, because as soon as I got here,…

My Mind Won't Let Me When people do certain things that are inhumane and annoying and just outrightly wrong, I just want to hate them and cut them off. I don't care if you say that I'm rash or I'm wicked I think certain people just deserve this harsh treatment sometimes and even worse. Someone who has the heart to treat their neighbor in ways that they wouldn't treat themselves or their loved one is that person not wicked and heartless, tell me? There are a lot of things…

The Concept Of Justice Over time, I've come to realise that there's so much injustice in this life that you can easily fall to the belief that there's no such thing as justice, and you won't be blamed for that line of thought. Your idea of injustice depends on a lot of things, taking into consideration the fact that justice, like every other moral value is quite a subjective topic. What qualifies as justice to me, might not even come close to been just from your point of…

So It Ends It is said that whatever has a beginning, has an ending. My mum has her own version of it that goes thus, what goes up must surely come down. This is what have been bouncing in and out of my head since the start of today. I find it hard to believe three weeks have gone by already. It wasn't long ago, while others were celebrating Christmas and New year, I was dreading what was that come after for me. I was to report to my place of attachment for industrial…

My First NFT Experience: Ended In Ice Cold Tears It's really quite funny how suddenly things can just turn around. If you read my last article about how I was finally done with my industrial training, you would probably have been wondering about my inactivity since then. Well, what can I say? It's been a really long day since then. I've made no secret of everything that transpired the first time I dared to venture into the world of NFT, howbeit on our favourite side chain,…
@Talon
Disordered Okay, I know I said after my industrial training, I'll be more active on here, but that hasn't been the case and I take full responsibility for that, but in my defence, I've been busy than I thought I'll be. To be honest, even today, I don't really feel like reading or writing on here, but I figured I'm doing myself a disservice by not doing that. So, I'm really not going to be writing about a specific topic. This article will basically be a reflection of how I…

Judgemental ***It is only he that wears the shoe, that knows where it pinches -*** Nigerian Proverb Lately, my appeal to read.cash seem to be off lately. I still try to come online a few times a day to read articles, but that has been reducing too. The situation is even worse on hive, where I've been absent for days. This is exceptionally bad for me, as I'm still really new to hive and I should be building the account almost the same way as I ought to be building my account…

Life And Relationship Series: You Are Not In Control In life, we always want the best things there are to give. We want to be rich, successful, well to do and famous, and that's all good. It's only natural to want that. But you see, majority of us want it, but few of us will ever get any of these things, not to mention all. This may be as a result of our hard work or smart work or not. To achieve these things we want, we are taught to get educated,get a good job, become an…

Be Grateful In a world where the odds seem to be stacked against us and everything seem to be working against us, it's almost impossible to find things to be grateful for. As human beings, we inherently desire a certain level of comfort, we have goals and aspirations that we would like to achieve. All of our lives works is usually directed towards achieving these things. But in a world with massively depleted and limited resources ( thanks to man's unabating exploitative way…

The Life Series: Take Care Of Yourself If i were born in a 'first world country', i would probably have turned out to be a economist. I like to reduce almost anything to the laws of demand and supply, the mechanics of resources and scarcity. I started this series because I realize there are some knowledge that are just out there that will probably cause our lives to turn around if we just got to have and use them. Interestingly, most of them are really quite basic. Earth is…

Untitled Sundays are for fellowshipping with God and fellow brethren, yay!! I hope you made it to church today? And had a wonderful time there in God's house. My pastor always says 'it's not enough to just come to church, you have to come with an expectation for God to meet, else you're just a churchgoer and not a Christian'. So, hope you went to church today with expectations in your heart? If you did, I can only hope they are met by God and all your prayers were answered.…

Spectrum Of Thoughts This is exactly something I should not indulge in, thoughts about life but that's where my mind wants to be so I'll let it. If life cannot be called a broad spectrum then I guess my head must be spewing a lot of rubbish right now. Its funny how something can be so amazing, sad, happy, deceptive, indescribable, and more all at the same time. It baffles me sometimes how it can be solid, liquid and gaseous at the same time. This is me trying to be chemical…
