Crazy things... more things
I hope you all had a fantastic week. It's weekend and it's time to turn on to rest mode, well not for everyone..
I believe some of you might have come across my previous article. I still can't imagine such event happening. It's really crazy isn't it?.. Well, there's more.
Think of it as the Early morning News you hear on the TV except this isn't early morning and it isn't everyday, more like a compilation of news together in one write up. Are you ready to hear? Here I go.
I'm actually depressed about the ongoing situation of this country. Should I say it's getting worse by the day or it's static. There's been an increment in basically everything single thing worth buying, and the most annoying part is this, even the value as been reduced. I assume that if a manufacturer decides to increase the price of his product, if he can't increase the quality of the product, then the product should be produced the Same way as before. But now, product has been increased and the quality decreased. People aren't getting value of what they are buying. Am I right? Who's with me?.
Now, the main reason for me coming with this write up is also linked to the country's problem. Have you ever walked on the street/road and not meet someone begged you for money at least once (if you haven't let me know). Obviously it looks like we have more people begging than more working. Before it was those Al majiri's, but now, you would even see a complete person, dressed up like an account only to come to you and beg for transport fare. Believe me when I say am not making jest of them nor trying to joke around with their problems but when you take a good look at it, You'll relate to what I'm saying. I feel sorry for them (not all that them) most of the times. That's one reason to be grateful Right?
Now you may be wondering why the topic and how's it related. Let me tell you my part of story.
Normally, when they ask for money, there's a way they ask right. But what's baffling me is this.
I was sitting in the office around 11:00am busy with work and all. This guy(the begger) came to confront the person (also a guy)he asked money from and he was like "I ask you say make you give me money, you no answer, you pass my front go use that money buy bread, as you see me I never chop anything since morning". Listening from where I was, I was shocked. At first I pushed the begger's condition aside and focused on the scene. The first thing that came to my mind "Wow,this is a new style. This style of begging is really something oo". Later after he confronted the guy, the guy gave him money and he left.
I was really touched seeing the man beg for money like that. Why? I guess he lost hope and just acted according to his instinct. But to be honest, he's brave shaa. I just pray he's okay
Who knows maybe the guy doesn't even have enough to eat. If that was his last card.
To be honest,Thinking about that scene always makes me laugh. I still pity the both of them but I still laugh. It's the begger's courage for me.
Am I the only person laughing about it or not. Let me know if am wicked or not.
It's really crazy isn't it?. Crazy things are really happening.
Until next time,

Crazy things
Hi there fellow readers, I know it's been a long time since I've written on this site. Well, it's been one hectic month. Trying to balance work, life and personal stuffs. But I'm happy I got the chance to write something at the moment. I hope it's not too late to say "Happy New Month" to everyone.
So today's article is about something really strange I witnessed. I didn't read it in the News or heard from people, this is live and direct.
You know this strange feeling you get when you witness something yourself. Although you've been hearing on the News, from people, different sources it feels strange but it feels more strange when you actually witness it yourself. Creepy right. You can't seem to get your mind off it.
Strange things are really happening everywhere with everyone, I can't seem to wrap my head around it. So let me drop the TEA.
A girl(young lady) ran away from her compound and hid somewhere in between out compound and the next one, whereas her Dad had been looking everywhere for her alongside her elder brother around 8pm. Luckily some neighbors intervened and decided to help find the lady thinking something bad happened. They searched the whole area and found her wanting to take her to her Dad. But guess what?. The girl was crying bitterly, begging the neighbors not to tell her Dad they found her. Okay. Trying to understand what and why she ran away, she narrated her own side of the story.
I was so surprised when I heard the full details. I really pitied the lady and wished we could do more to help her out of the situation. It was so shocking to hear it. I was actually crying while listening to it. I couldn't believe people had gotten to be much more worse than they already are. If it happened to an outsider the pain would be less-shocking, but your own family members, That's what pained me the most.
How can a father, the Head of the family, the one who is suppose to help the children, guide them and advise them when necessary force the lady to sleep with her elder brother. Normally, not everyone believed it, some thought the girl made it up. On a norms, who would at first believe such thing,but a particular person came out and said she wasn't lying that he overhead from their apartment when they were arguing before the lady manage to escape.
There's this saying that goes **"There's nothing new under the sun".**
But then, like I said earlier, it's a different feeling if you witnessed it.
But why? Was the question on my mind. Why would he do that? If the brother needs someone to sleep with, Why is there a brothel? Why would they even hang up and force the lady in the first place?
At that moment, I could imagine what the lady was going through, she was scared, betrayed all at once. After narrating all she was saying is "Blood of Jesus". The neighbors went to confront the father.
To cut the long story short,the neighbors didn't allow the girl spend the night with her family. As usual gist spread like wild fire, it was confirmed that the lady's brother was a 'Yahoo boy' and you understand the rest. It was even said that they also had one elder brother doing the same thing and ran mad. To be honest, I didn't know how the matter was settled because I had to go to work the next day. But even the lady was so scared to go back the next morning.
What do you think should be done in a situation like that?.
Until next Time. Unparalleled.

If you've been following up with my articles, you might be wondering why I haven't written the part 2 of BAD GUY. Well, it's still a work in progress. Don't rush okay😉 second part is going to be out soon.
I also want to use this medium to say a very big Thank you to all of those that have been reading my articles lately. It is really a thing of joy for me to log on to Readcash just to see that my articles are getting more views every minute. Thank you all so much for reading.
Today's articles is going to be something special. I am going to share some interesting tips right here so everyone can benefit from it. Think of it more as a dedication to someone really special who has taught me lots of things and I'm always grateful to that being.
Just as it as always been a motivation for me Everytime I read it or remember it, I'd like you all to also learn something from it.
Before I start listing them down you all should know that " living itself is a risky business. If we spent half as much time learning how to take risks as we spend avoiding them, we wouldn't have so much fear in life"- E -Paul Torrance. Just live your life right, filled with no regrets and be happy. Life's an adventure I always tell myself. You never know what's in store.
Seven Lessons on Living
1) ***Never make decisions when you're stressed, depressed or caressed::***
2) ***We don't have too many troubles, we*** **are troubled by too many things**.
3) ***The most dangerous vices are the ones we no longer consider vices.***
***4) One of the biggest mistakes we make is to believe that waking up in the morning is a right rather than a blessing.***
***5) Your "life calling" emerges as a result*** ***of trials and errors rather than predetermined desire or choice***.
***6) People jump back and forth in pursuit*** ***of pleasures because they see the emptiness of their lives more clearly than the emptiness of which ever new entertainment attracts them.***
7) We choose outcomes as goals and treat ***as chores. A wiser approach is to set processes as goals and treat outcomes as by-products.***
I really hope you all find and make good use of this, just like I did. You know when someone special pass something on to you, you would also want to pass it on to someone special, well am passing it down to someone special because you all are special to me and I know someone special reading this really needs it just like I needed it. Let's keep passing it on to people special 😊
Until next Time,

Bad guy 1
Thievery, larceny, man-slaying, heist murdering, mail fraud.......name them all. That's my specialty. That's what am good at. You could say am cruel, diabolical,heartless, stoic,you could call me all sorts of names beast, savage, brutal. You can associate me with a wolf or a wild cat but hey.. who cares?....
I'm a bad guy and i am sooo good at it. Welcome to my world of bad heh.
I suppose I could say I've stolen lots of stuffs. I'm no petty thief, when I steal, I steal BIG. From diamonds, high-end jewelries, billions of dollars,to expensive cars, defrauded people of lands and the list goes on. I have also murdered lots of people, Ranging from high-end politicians,mayors, to Noble men,40% of them are innocent according to my demographics but what do I care?, I just do my job. I guess am a well known assassin?thief? BAD GUY.
We live in a world where some people are scary and some people are scared. Well I guess I'm on the top list of those scary people.
Do I wish people don't get scared of me? Yeah I do, sometimes.
I always go solo on all my missions. Live in a friendly neighborhood downtown, work as a computer engineer in an ElectroMart. You must be wondering 1)Why work when I have all the things I need in the world and, 2) Where do I keep all the stolen stuff. Well, 1) I guess I just needed a distraction and a disguise. 2) For a Tech- nerd like me, I have my ways. They are secretly kept in my basement where no one can ever find out. And I mean no one,not even you. (Chuckles).
I've been in this for as long as I can remember and let me tell you this, there are competitions. It's like a game. We all want to be the winner. We all want to be the BEST BAD GUY the world has ever seen. There are pros and there are novices bit I could say am still the most feared, Also the most wanted, why is that? I could say it's because my moves are different from the usual way others do it. My moves are calculated. I guess that puts me on top and am proud, confident,and always sure of what I do.
I have always wanted to pull the greatest heist in the whole world. Silly right? Maybe...... It's something I've been meaning to do ever since I started becoming famous. I wanted to be on the edge. I was aiming to be the BEST BAD GUY the world has ever seen.
"What do I have to steal to get that rank, who do I have to kill". I said to myself as I walked through the pathway. I stopped at the entrance for a moment, pulled out the keys and went in. Darkness welcomed me at first but then I switched on the lights. I went straight to the refrigerator and brought out a bottle of beer, sat on the sofa and switched on the television. I tuned to the "Daily report" and gulped down the drink.
"reporting now an explosion at silver auction house.6 killed and 2 injured, the SWATS are already investigating on it as those responsible for these are known yet and I, Asher Walker am first on the scene". "An auction house!, wonder what there are bidding on". I said as I chowed down the remaining drink. I was about tunning in to another station when another news suddenly came up. "Ugh! I hope it's interesting this time".
"This is Diane Jonnes reporting live at West point factories. The stack has crumbled and shattered and has injured the locals, destroyed building facilities. Total of 15 people has been rescued and taken to the state hospital. The police are doing their best to locate the bodies of the remaining individuals. One of participating candidate for Governor has promised to take full responsibility for the victims. Investigations are ongoing as to what caused the destruction of the stack. Local areas are being evacuated and the highways are jammed. Daily reports".
"Cheap". I said to myself. "Max's probably behind this, I'm sure it's him. He hired an amateur to do the job so it'll give him an edge for the position" scoffs. I switched off the TV and my thoughts came back. "Greatest heist, greatest heist, what could it be, I've collected things no ordinary thief could collect. Something worth taking, something that'll shake the whole world". I thought. Then it came to me, I got it. For a second I thought about it then I decided it was the one. "Brilliant,this is going to be the biggest thievery, bravo Lucas,bravo". I said to myself.
To be continued...........

Slow progress is better than no progress.
Hey there Readcashers, trust you are doing good. Well, a happy new month to you dear readers. It's a new month to start something different. It's never to late to try. You want something? Then go for it! I'll say.
But remember,
Some times things don't always go as planned. Oh! The outing didn't turn out well. I didn't follow this years schedule. I didn't save enough money for my needs. This wasn't how I expected it to be. I didn't focus well this time. Some things don't happen the way we want them too. We make mistakes, we all make mistakes, we fail, we fall apart, things get turned upside down, but it's all good. You don't need to be sad, you don't have to worry.
There's just something I want you to know
No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying. As long as you're being consistent in what you're doing to get what you want, you're good. It doesn't need to come in a rush.
Remember, slow and steady wins the race. Also remember that without struggle, there's no progress. Good things doesn't come easy. There are always obstacles, obstruction. Things would delay it. Some things would make it harder to reach. It is your enthusiasm to reach for it that matters. As long as you're doing some thing for that thing you want, you're moving.
If you're on the path of something good, run for it. If you're tired, jog. If you can't jog, walk. If you can't walk, crawl but don't stop keep moving. Keep moving, keep trying till you get there.
Don't be dissatisfied with the fact that maybe your best friend,your sister,your neighbor is doing way better than you are. Maybe you are both working in the same field and your best friend is progressing than you, he/she is getting promoted, getting appraisal, getting more experienced, becoming a master at that field and you're wondering if you are even trying. Trying to figure out what's wrong with.
Sometimes, in some cases you may need to buckle up, try to figure out a new way, come up with something different, maybe brainstorm ideas. But in most cases where both persons are giving in and one is progressing than the other. You don't need to feel jealous or feel irrelevant and the likes. Just have this at the back of the mind.
Direction is so much more important than speed, some are going nowhere fast.
What if your colleague isn't even specific in what they want,but you are(Direction). But you are slow at progressing and they are really fast(speed). Well, they are just going nowhere really fast and at some point they'll get tired. Why? It's because there's no map to follow, no instructions,they aren't even sure where they are going or what they want. So they'll stop to rest or even quit. But you being steady, specific, following the map, having instructions,you'll end up winning in the end.
Take the popular story of the tortoise and the hare for example. If you know this story well you'll definitely relate to this. It always end up in a phrase saying
"Slow and steady wins the race".
I'll just say determination, perseverance, faith, patience and helps one to progress. I guess the tortoise had faith he would win and was patient enough. Even if he knew he was slow, still he didn't let that get the better of him. And he won**.**
**"Direction is so much more important than speed, some are going nowhere fast".**
Thank you for reading. Until next time unparalleled 👍
The unspoken pain
Exhausted, washed out, deplorable, left-out, furious, tempestuous, lone, desperate and so many words I can't think of. Those are words that describes how I feel, how I've been feeling.
But then, who has to know.
I'll hide every single pain, Take every single blame. I'll deal with all of that on my own. Pretend am always fine. And after all that. I'm being judged for been cold towards others.
If only they know If only they knew How I've been feeling lately What I'm going through What I've been going through. They wouldn't judge me just as much
If they can just see. The stress The anxiety The depression The low self-esteem All those feeling, inside of me if they could just see it ,I bet they would see me the way they do. They wouldn't think of me just like they do. They wouldn't treat me the way they do.
Is it that bad I pretend to be always fine even if am not. Is it bad I pretend to be happy even if am so sad. Is it bad I try to conceal my feeling so as not to affect those around me. Is it bad?
I'm the kind of person who is always there for people when they need a friend. I'm also the kind of person who faces many issues alone,but will still do anything to see someone else smile.
No matter how hard I try to reveal what's going on inside of me, I always feel self-centered. I guess it's just the way I am. Those feeling are not what I like to feel cos it hurt. I know it hurt because it mattered- John Green.
It's okay I'm okay I know I'll get through this I won't mind the rude words said Nor would I mind the attitude shown Neither would I mind the judgement nor the assumptions as long as I know in my ❤️ I'm doing the right thing. And I know that's the kind of person I am.
I won't let their criticism affect me. Only I know what I'm going through. No one else can understand Only I can find solutions to this. Only I can give myself the strength, courage and respect I deserve. I'm all I've got.
I won't let them see I won't let them know I won't let them hear and, I won't make them feel,
The unspoken invisible pain.
that I feel inside of me.
This is just a write-up to those out there not to feel alone, any feeling of revenge or invading someone's privacy is unintentional.
P.S::: it is not based on me, just a write up🤗.

Happiness
The purpose of our lives is to be happy-- Dalai Lama.
What is a life lived without a feeling of happiness. A whole life, an existence of a soul lived without a feeling of being happy. Is that life worth living?
It's clearly known to us all that we all have a purpose of living, a reason for being born into this realm, we all want to live a life worth living, fulfill our destiny, become someone great, do wondrous things. But in all that reason, isn't happiness one of them?
I can barely imagine how I would wake up in the morning boiling with rage,without a smile on my face, without something making me laugh, is it possible? Well, I don't know about you but for me, it isn't.
***Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned,worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.*** It's a feeling we experience, we all know that right?
Hey guys, welcome to my page. Its obvious am new here, well I am and am not. It's a long story but to make it brief, it's a welcome back for me and my welcome back article is a going to be a hit😁. Seriously the topic is just something to lay down.Most of the time I ask myself and some other people what they desire, what they need. First thing on my reply list, majority just wants to be happy. Some will say " I want to live a happy life". *I just wanna be happier*. Happiness isn't something we earn, it isn't something we own. It's a feeling of gratitude.
The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
Hmmmm. Is it true? Well let's find out. What are Thoughts? Thoughts are form created in the mind rather than the form perceived through the five senses.
Your thoughts, my thoughts, their thoughts will justify the happiness of our lives. Just as Albert Einstein said "The world as it has been created is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking". If you change your thinking, you'll definitely change your life..
When things are created in one's mind it'll generally reflect on the person's mood. If your thoughts are healthy,are of good vibes, you'll definitely show a vibrant mood. If it's the opposite, it brings bad vibes.
I cannot over- emphasize on how the happiness you want to feel will determine on your thoughts. The word above says it all. Good thoughts= Good Life (happiness). *Key word* 1***) Happiness cannot be travelled to, owned, earned,worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.*** 2**) The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.**
Focus on your thinking, create good thoughts it brings forth good things and when good things come your way, happiness is guaranteed. Feel free to comment, it a sign you're reading. Stay tuned for more😊. Until next time. *Unparalleled*
