*DEEP WORDS ON MARBLE !!!*
*"I tasted all that is sweet, but I found nothing sweeter than good health. And I tasted all that was bitter, but nothing was more bitter than being in need of good people. And I carried both, iron and rocks, but nothing was heavier than debt. I discovered therefore that life comprises only of two days: A day for you and a day against you.

Don't Kill Yourself Over Anything...Even If Your Wife Is Sleeping Around...
🤔🤔🤔
I remember a case I handled a while back in Chief Rotimi Williams (SAN)'s Chambers.
A man (our client), caught his Landlord sleeping with his wife. In a rage, he took a side stool and hit it squarely on the Landlord's head. He died instantly.
He was arraigned for murder. After 5 years of trial, going back and forth and spending loads of money he barely had, he said to me in court one day...."Barrister, I deeply regret my actions, I should have done things differently"
I asked him why? He said..."I am saddened by the thought of just how many more men my wife would have slept with and would still sleep with while I'm in prison" and almost immediately, he began to weep, for the reality had just dawned on him.
Luckily for him, the court upheld our argument that he was provoked into action. He spent just 10 years in prison and was subsequently released.
When he finally got out of prison, he arrived home to discover that the woman for whom he had gone to prison, had already giving birth to 2 boys for 2 different men and was pregnant with a third (a baby girl) for his neighbor.
LESSON:
Learn to curb your anger always. Don't fight over anything. The potential price to pay for such thoughtless action is so great and all may not be worth it in the end.
What will be will be...In the end, you're alone and only your creator stands with you...even your shadow will leave you in dark times...THINK!

Always Remember This
I had never sat with my father for any long time; and after my marriage, I left him to settle down with my family. Some years after I got married, I visited my father and talked about adult life, marriage, responsibilities and obligations. My father was, all the while, thoughtfully looking down on the floor. Afterwards, he cast a clear, sober look at me.
"Never forget your friends," he advised, "they will become more important as you get older."
“Regardless of how much you love your family and the children you happen to have, you will always need friends. Remember to go out with them occasionally, do activities with them, call them ..."
"What a strange advice!" I thought. I am an adult and surely my wife and children will be everything I need to make sense of my life.
Yet I obeyed him; kept in touch with my friends and annually increased their number. Over the years, I became aware that my father knew what he was talking about!
In as much as time and nature carry out their designs and mysteries on a man, friends are the bulwarks of his life.
After 50 years of life, here is what I've come to learn:
Time passes.
Life goes on.
The distances increase.
Children grow up and become independent and although it breaks the parents' heart as they are often separated from them.
Jobs come and go., Illusions, desires, attractions, sex ... weaken.
People do what they should not do.
Parents die...
Colleagues forget the favors...
The races are over...
But true friends are always there, no matter how long or how many miles away they are.
A friend is never more distant than the reach of a need, reaching out to you intervening in your favor, waiting for you with open arms or with blessings for your life.
When we started this adventure called LIFE, we did not know of the incredible joys or sorrows that were ahead.
We did not know how much we would need from one another.
Love your parents,...
Love your Siblings and family members...
Take care of your wife and children,...
But keep a group of Good Friends...
If we are lucky, we do not have only friends but school and course mates too.
This is Dedicated to all Friends, Classmates, School and Course Mates.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MY NOISE FRIENDS
*BATHROOM : A BIG LESSON FOR ALL!*
_Everything in life teaches, go to the bathroom and learn_
Have you ever thought of integrity and character of the *BATHROOM?*
*WHAT IS A BATHROOM?*
1. BATHROOM IS AN ENCLOSED ROOM....
The *BATHROOM* is a separate part of the house that is purposely designed for bathing.
A small apartment carved out to see our nakedness, fault and accommodate our dirt.
Are you a *BATHROOM?*
Do you cover people or you expose them?
Are you a defender or an offender?
2. *BATHROOM REFRESHES....*
Everyone of us comes out of the BATHROOM better than we entered.
*BATHROOM* is a place of Relief and Refresh.
Are you sure people get better anytime they come in contact with you, or they get bittered?
Learn from your *BATHROOM*.
3. *BATHROOM IS A SECRET KEEPER....*
I have never come across any *BATHROOM* that shout and make noise, or expose your secret and nakedness to others.
Once you move out of the bathroom, no one knows what had happened.
In fact let one thousand people take bath in the same *BATHROOM,* I can guarantee you, It will never divulge your secret, figure or nakedness to another person.
The scars which others cannot see, *BATHROOM* sees and knows it.
Are you trust worthy, responsible or dependable?
Learn from your *BATHROOM*.
4. *BATHROOM TOLERATES OUR EXCESSES ....*
Do you know that the *BATHROOM* is tolerant?
It doesn't matter how dirty and smelly you are in the *BATHROOM*, it will never take advantage of your carelessness.
Do you flare up at the slightest mistakes and errors from others?
Are you patient enough to bear and tolerate the weaknesses of others?
Learn from the *BATHROOM.*
5. *BATHROOM IS ACCOMMODATING....*
Do you notice that we only run to the toilet, only when we need it?
Yet, it will never block you from accessing it.
*BATHROOM* will never ignore or reject you. If you like, abandon it for years, any day you feel like going back to use it, it will accept, and accommodate you.
Your place and space will be reserved for you.
How often do you forgive?
How quick do you forget offence?
How large is your heart?
Do you correct in love or in anger?
Learn from the *BATHROOM..*
6. *BATHROOM IS FIXED, AND FIRM...*
The fact that we have mobile toilets does not change the integrity of the bathroom. *BATHROOM* will never beg anyone to use it.
It will never shift ground for any reason.
If you are ready to come, it will accept you, but for her to run after you is not possible.
Learn from the *BATHROOM..*
7. *BATHROOM HAS ENTRY AND EXIT...*
Bathroom will never retain any rubbish and trash you give to it.
The entrance to the bathroom is always wide, while the channel of transferring your dirt is small.
*BATHROOM* has a large heart and will never keep record of wrongs.
How large is your heart?
Do you have integrity at all?
Can we trust your words?
Why are you easily influenced?
Are you not compromising in the face of trials and tribulations, especially when men ignore you?
Learn from the *BATHROOM..*
Lastly, You cannot provoke *BATHROOM*, as you can do in the Living room.
If you like make noise, sing, shout, keep silent, splash water in the *BATHROOM*, it will never complain.
Do you also know that BATHROOM without any complaints whatsoever command respect.
When you use it you take good care of it. If you do your part in the life of others you will be cleaned and sprayed with good perfume and deodorants.
*Hmmmmmmm.....*
_Do you see the correlation between the *BATHROOM* and human life?_
Let us learn from the *BATHROOM...*
Merry Christmas in advance🎄🌲🧑🎄🤶🎅💖_

How do you feel when you meet your classmates, and it seems like he/she has accomplished their dreams and you're not yet close to yours?
So many thoughts run through your mind, right?
First, you think God has not been fair to you.
How about the ones you meet on the street wearing dirty cloths and still struggling for survival?
Do you get the same thoughts running through your mind?
*I guess, NO.*
Don't forget too that some are already dead.
Somehow it feels natural to have that feeling of jealousy for those mates who seem better off, but it is really unnecessary.
There is no room for regrets.
We are all different and our paths to greatness are also not the same in distance.
Some might have arrived earlier before you and some after you, but whatever level you find yourself in life, please keep trying to break limitations and move further.
Celebrate the success of others, it's an indication that yours too shall surely come.
Your friend buys a car now, be happy with him/her.
Remember when you'll buy yours,
theirs might not be the latest again.
There's no permanent champion, but current champion.
Life is not about competition. Do not be in a race with anyone.
Remember, we may seem to be reading the same book but different chapters at different times.
Don't let the passion in you kill the desire in you, keep it burning.
What you're passing through today;
Write it down because one day, the world would be ready to read it, they'll become part of your success story.
There's no height you cannot attain.
Believe in yourself. Define your goals.
*Recognize distractions**and don't stop striving*
*Spend time teaching yourself, because those things that mainly take people to the top are the things they devoted their time to develop.*
*Don't be intimidated by your friend's success*
The sky is wide enough for birds to fly without touching one another.
*Value every little thing that God brings into your life.*
*Love God and obey Him.*
*For with God, all things are possible.*
*Now to those who are on top, Never forget to give a helping hand to those who are down. Because Life is full of uncertainties. The one you pull up today, may be the one to hold your hands and prevent you from falling tomorrow*
*A piece of advice there.*
*Food for thought for all school and class mates.*
*Share this to all your mates and let them realize that God has a purpose for everyone*
*Always be humble and thank God for His Grace in your lives.*
*May God bless us all.*
( *AMEN* )
*Dr. Obafemi Hamzat,*
*Deputy Governor of Lagos state writes:*
*HE PUSHED ME AWAY......*
*=========================*
*"Many years ago, I went to the BANK on Wednesday morning as I was about entering the hall, a man ran ahead of me and pushed me away so he could quickly join the long queue before I will get to the queue.*
*I did not say anything, he thought I will queue up behind him but I was actually not there to withdraw, I went to deposit.*
*So I walked to the deposit teller and I was the only one there. No single person on the queue.*
*When I finished depositing, I was about leaving the hall, when this man came from the queue and apologized to me for pushing me away from the line. With "sorry smile on his face" he said: I am very sorry for pushing you away, I thought you were coming to the queue to withdraw..............*
*I smiled and told him not to bother that it's not a big deal. Friends believe me I learned a big lesson from that incident.*
*Who are you 'pushing' away and trying to outrun in the race of destiny, relationship, business, ministry, career, marriage, political position or appointment, etc?*
*How many People have you pushed aside, pushed away or pushed down in this life?*
*Are you among those that destroy people through pushing?*
*By slandering them, hindering their progress, blocking their promotion, lying, backstabbing, condemning them before their helpers, backbiting, discriminating, and spoiling their good names either through lies or rumor, all in a bid to 'get there' before them.*
*I challenge you today to take it easy because you might not be going to the same destination.*
*Unknown to you, the path may look alike but your destinations are different.*
*It might surprise you later that, with all the pushing away you are doing, or planning to do, they may still leave you on the 'queue' of destiny and go ahead of you.*
*Finally;*
*Has anyone ever pushed you away, aside, or down in your school, office, ministry, business, marriage, political platform, social media or in a religious societies?*
*Are they trying to push you away or have they pushed you away already so that they can get ahead of you?*
*Don't worry, God will use your case to prove to them that, "it is not of him who runs, but of the Lord that shows mercy. He will show you mercy and give you an overtaking speed and those who are pushing you here and there will later come and tell you they are sorry.*
*Beloved Brethren, Please push nobody because you might not be heading to the same destination. Borrow wisdom from a friend and Take life easy."*
*May God bless you.🙏*
*ORDINARY!*
Holandia Yogurt is expensive, but it does not quench thirst like "ordinary water."
O'level(WASC/SSCE) is just an ordinary Certificate but without it you can't obtain a Degree, Masters and PhD.
That thing called ‘ordinary’ does not mean it is not valuable.
Water might be ‘Ordinary’, but without it, there is no life.
Value ordinary people. They can save your life.
Don’t be too proud to respond when your Gateman greets you.
Don't be too proud to adjust when that Junior Staff calls your attention to issues.
Don't be too proud to listen to the advice of your follower because, some of them are even better leaders. But you are only privileged.
Don't be too proud to listen to your subordinates as a leader because, you don't know it all.
If you treat the ordinary people in your life like garbage, you may die with your ailments.
"Low-Class" People are not necessarily "Low Life" People.
Who says you are better than that "Ordinary Person"?
Those ordinary people were made by God and God has deposited in them strength and weakness.
Don't allow your pride to destroy you.
*Wisdom* is profitable to direct and "When we do things together, we do it better.
I love ordinary people because no matter how high you perceive me to be, I am also ordinary to someone

A man *milking a cow* was *kicked by the cow* and in *an attempt* to *kick the animal back* in *revenge*, he slipped and *lost the bucket of milk* he already got.
*M͟o͟r͟a͟l͟ l͟e͟s͟s͟o͟n͟s͟:*
● We need to learn that *seeking revenge* could cause *more harm than good.*
● If the man *had left without bothering to kick the cow back,* he would have *gained a bucket of milk.*
● There is *a bucket of milk in our hands*.
It may be *a high position* we have laboured to attain, *a friendship* we have built for years, *marriage, job, health, baby etc, you have been praying for*. Seeking *revenge may lead to loss* of any of these.
● *Just forgive,* let go and *move on* so that greater things will *not be lost*.
● Is it not even ridiculous that the *man tried to kick the cow back* instead of *running with his bucket of milk?*
● Let us *look around us*, there are cows that will kick us by deliberately *hurting us daily or at any given opportunity* when we are trying to achieve our dreams in life.
● They want us to *kick them back* so that *our buckets of milk will be empty.*
We are to *be wise of the devices and ploys* of the enemy of our glorious destiny.
*Just forgive. Let go and move on* so that *greater things will not be lost*.
May the Almighty GOD give you *the wisdom, and understanding to be wiser than the evil ones* and *guide you against loss of any kind*. Be cool, calm and calculated.... *God is in control.*🙏🙏

*TAKE IT EASY*
Do not go into a business that you do not understand.
Do not invest into something that you cannot comprehend.
Buy okrika shorts in aba for 200 naira. Transport it for 100 naira to calabar. Sell it for 500 naira. You have made profit.
Don’t let the big houses that others build mesmerize you.
If you have children of both genders, you only need a three bedroom apartment - parents room, boys’ room, and girls room.
You do not need a children’s parlor. Your sons can receive their friends on the front porch and the girls can receive theirs on the back porch, while dad and mom’s friends are received in the living room.
Ignore all these aspire to perspire and desire to retire motivational speakers.
How much does one really need?
You don’t owe your children mansions in Lekki. You owe them a good education.
Stop stressing yourselves o.
Someone bought land one million yesterday and it’s five million today, good for them.
Someone bought Bitcoin for $9000 in 2020 and it’s $15,000 today. Let them buy. As for you, rest.
Stop giving yourself high jump that will break your legs. Relax.
Cos when you don’t relax, you will stress yourself for nothing and stress us in the process.
Do what you can and leave the rest.
Food, clothing and shelter is all what you need. The rest are wants and you can do without them.
If you have five cars in Lagos, you will sit in your car for three hours on third mainland bridge. What kind of stress is that?
Let people go abroad on vacation, it’s none of your business.
And if you need to delete social media, do so. Half of our long throat problems come from social media follow follow.
I know this.
*STAY IN YOUR LANE,*
*DON'T RUN OTHERS' RACE,*
*GOD'S TIME IS NEVER LATE.*

HAPPY NEW MONTH OF DECEMBER MY NOISE FRIENDS
There were two houses standing next to each other.
In one of them resided a very unhappy family. The spouses yelled at each other. They fought and quarreled all the time. The other was a place of happiness and calmness.
During one of the fights, the wife in the unhappy family asked her husband:
“Did you ever hear them quarrel or yell over themselves in that house? No!
"So, go there and see what they do to avoid it!”
The husband stood at the window of his neighbour and watched. There, they were busy doing their own things.
The wife was in d kitchen cooking and the man sat at the table writing.
The phone rang and the man jumped up and headed to the hallway to get it.
On his way, he bumped into a vase, it fell and broke.
He got down to his knees and started picking up the pieces.
The wife ran into the room from the kitchen. She also knelt down and started helping her husband to pick them up.
The man said to his wife:
“I am so sorry. I rushed to get the phone and bumped into the vase. It fell and got broken”
The wife replied:
“No, honey, it is my fault. I put it there on the way, that’s why you bumped into it”.
They kissed and that was over. Both got back to what they were doing.
The man who watched them returned to his wife.
She wanted to know what the secret of their happiness was.
What the man said was fantastic:
“I know it now.
In their family both of them are guilty and in our family, both of us are always right!”
That’s the secret of family happiness!
Food for thought.
The "trick" isn't in not wanting to take responsibility, but rather in not claiming right.
There are times you need to forfeit your right to win your peace: depends on which you cherish most.
This recipe is applicable, not only in d home, but also at work and in all relationships.
Pls don't just read it but share it. You never can tell how many people this post will bless
*A husband said to his wife:* I miss my family, I hope you will prepare lunch tomorrow, so I can invite them, it's been a while.
*The wife said with a sigh:* God willing, it will be good.
*The husband said*: OK, I will invite them.
The next morning, the husband went to work and at one o'clock he came home, and said to his wife: Did you cook lunch? My family will come in an hour.
*And the wife said*: No, I did not cook, because your family are not strangers, they can eat what is in the house.
*The husband said*: God forgive you! Why didn't you tell me yesterday that you won't cook and they will soon be arriving, what will I do?😒
*The wife said*: Call them and apologize to them, after all, they are not strangers.
The husband left the house upset and after a few minutes, there was a knock on the door. The wife got up, opened the door and was surprised to see her family, brothers, sisters and children!
Her father asked her, "Where is your husband?"
*She said to him*: He left a while ago.
*Her father said,* "Yesterday, your husband invited us for lunch. Is it possible for him to invite us and leave the house?"
The wife was stunned by the news, and began rubbing her hands, puzzled that the food in the house was not befitting for her family. She called her husband and said to him: Why didn't you tell me that you intended to invite my family for lunch?
*He said to her*: My family is your family, and yours is mine. There's no difference.
*She said to him*: Please bring ready-made food with you when coming, there is no food at home.
*The husband said:* I am very far from home and your family are not strangers, feed them from the food in the house as you wanted to feed my family...
*Moral Lesson: Do to others what you would want them do unto you.*👏🏼
Please note, the year is about ending and the season for giving is here! 👍

So this happened many years ago.
During my 100 level in school.
I had a financial issue.
I could call it an emergency one, I had called my parents' number they were both switched off, so I was stranded.
So I decided to confide to an older friend of mine who worked at Govt. House at the time and was also a part-time student.
He was unreachable on phone so I went to his house, fortunately, he was around.
So I told him that I needed his help to sort myself out in school.
"Please, I am stranded just find me 3k let me sort something urgent in school. As soon as my parents sort me out I will give you back. Their numbers are unavailable."
I went on my knees and was begging him, but he said.
"Eeyaa I am so sorry I wish I can help you but I don't have anything on me. They have not even paid us salary. I don't have money with me just N200."
I asked him to please check, he swore he didn't have money.
We were still on the matter, one girl he just met on Facebook called him and told him that she was just passing his street with her friend she thought to call to check if he was around.
He shouted that yes he was around, in fact, they should come and say hello to him. A few minutes later, the lady came with her friend.
After introducing me to them he said to them.
"Ahh what do you people care to take?"
Meanwhile, I had been in his house for nearly two hours he never asked me what I care to take, I didn't even bother to think about it because I had a pressing issue on ground.
The girls said they want juice, and he rushed down the street and bought juice for them, he never asked me what I wanted nor did he buy anything for me.
When he came back he abandoned me totally and was talking with the girls.
When they were leaving he asked the girls for their account details, someone who told me he had no money on him except N200.
To my surprise, he transferred 20k each to those girls.
They saw the alert and shouted.
"Wow. You sent us 20k each. Wow. You are such a darling. Thank you, dear."
Meanwhile, he just met them less than a week and he had been asking one of them out, but she refused.
I felt really terrible for myself.
Imagine me who don't know how to ask for help, how I felt that day.
I confronted him and said.
"I thought you said you don't have money just N200 but right before me you transferred 40k to these girls, while I am here asking you to borrow me just 3k for my course project, you said you don't have."
All he could say was.
"Is it your money? Abeg. You go give me wetin those girls go give me? Abeg leave me na my money, no be you go tell me how I go take spend my money."
I left his house shattered and heartbroken.
I cut this guy off.
Just a couple of months ago, life happened to him, this guy came to my house here in Lagos begging me for help.
Remember, ever since that day I never spoke with him, he didn't bother reaching out.
He is married now and he had a real financial issue.
He confided in me begging me for him, no matter how little.
I smiled and reminded him of what he did to me that day.
He remembered and started apologizing, crying.
"Your fellow guy who was struggling asked you for help, and you said you don't have, instead you carry your money give girls. Why don't you meet those girls now and ask them for help?"
He was speechless, just looking at me.
I continued.
"I took you as an elder brother then, but look at the way you treated me, you never asked me how I got that 3k to sort myself in school that year. See life is funny, the greatest investment you can make as a human being is to invest in a human being like you who needs that investment. I won't pay you back with your coins."
I helped him the best way I could, he knew that if he had treated me nicely, I would have helped him way more than I helped him at that time.
Do not neglect anyone in life, the person you looked down upon today could be your savior or children's savior tomorrow.
Do not be the reason why someone shed tears at night, because this life get as e be.
.
Lagos .
It's another new week
I pray God blesses everyone hustles out there .
Time ⏰
I got married age 25. I was an undergraduate then. Some said I was too young; but I got married because It was my time.
I had nothing. It was tough for years. Waited for four years to get a good job. It happened at my time.
A cousin of mine while I was in 100L finished from Bowen university age 22. It was his time.
He traveled to the UK age 23 and got a job. His annual remuneration as at then was 13,744,000 converted to naira. He completed his first house here in Nigeria age 27. It was his time.
We both celebrated the same age this year, same month, same day.
He isn't married yet. It is not his time.
I've never bought a block, let alone build a house. It's also not my time.
Why did I share?
So many feel bad when they see other people's life achievements.
They get worried as they see themselves as failure and unfortunate. But they don’t understand that time is a major factor in life.
When it is your time, your hard work would be rewarded. Things will fall in place and then you will achieve a whole lot bigger than your dreams and age.
They will all come easily and only then you'll understand the "The time of life".
If others get to have what you don't have; know it that, it is their time having. Yours too will come.
If you have what others don't have. It's only your time to have achieve those things too. Undoubtedly, their own time will come likewise.
What is that thing getting you so worried that you are yet to achieve that others already have?
Dear, Relax. Your time will come....(copied)
*DONT WAIT TILL YOUR FRIEND BEGS YOU FOR MONEY - (SOS)
"He didn't dress well to the school reunion meeting, nobody care to ask him WHY....
He couldn't pay the annual dues, nobody cares to know WHY...
He keeps saying he lacks airtime to call, hence he could've checked on friends, but nobody care to ask about his welfare & financial situation that makes him slacks back so much...
Everybody keep minding their businesses until the news broke out that their former brilliant classmate suddenly slumped & died of hypertension due to depression...
Mates contributed 10million for befitting burial of a fellow who didn't live a befitting life.... could they have spent that much to lift him out of depression that eventually sent him 6 feet below?
Please don't say after all he/she didn't ask me, some people were not raised that way. they're just too shy to beg, not pride but the way they were brought up...
Don't wait till your friend begs you for money, send the little you can afford into his/her account....
That received money notification is a very big relief to the receiver & you never can tell the danger you've innocently averted from your friend by the little gesture you extend to him unexpectedly..."
A lot of people are going through hard times, give foodstuff, give money, help them connect with people who can change their story for good.
A lot of your classmates do not have jobs, please if you can connect them to people who can help them with job opportunities or even if you can give them jobs, please do so. There is no harm in reaching out to people.
A lot of your childhood friends and classmates are dying in silence due to economic hardship, some as a result of sickness, please reach out to them, your little assistance can go a long way
Check your community for people who need that bowl of garri/rice, reach out to the poor and less privileged around you - you may be surprised that looking good is no longer a yardstick for recognizing those in need of help.
One can still look good and still be poor - they are just recycling the good clothes and even make-up they had already bought some years ago or they are simply blessed with good looks.
Poverty is really eating deep into the fabric of our co-existence, please whatever good position providence has bequeathed you, please it's not because of you alone but for the people around you.
Do not hesitate to be a blessing to someone around you today.
Put a smile on someone's face today.
That a person is all smiles doesn't mean they do not have challenges!
Depression is real!
God bless the generous givers of this world.
Copied and chopped.

*Two Traveling Angels
Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.
The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the mansion’s guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.
As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife.
After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel, “How could you have let this happen? The first man had everything, yet you helped him.” – she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you let the cow die.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem.” – the older angel replied.
“When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”
Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don’t turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every outcome is always to your advantage. You might not know it until some time later…
Should you find it hard to get to sleep tonight,
remember the homeless family who has no bed to lie in.
Should you find yourself stuck in traffic, don’t despair,
there are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard-of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work,
think of the man who has been out of work for many months struggling to feed his family.
Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror,
think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking, “What is my purpose?”, be thankful,
there are those who didn’t live long enough to get the opportunity. ♡̷̬̩̃̊• GƠ̴̴͡.̮Ơ̴̴͡D MƠ̴̴͡rning•♡̷̬̩̃̊• ♡̷̬̩̃̊• hApI.̮ weekend *haVe fuN•♡̷̬̩̃̊• 🚴🍫🎊🏇🍗🍤🍪*
The Birth of Bitcoin:
Bitcoin was first bought in 2010 at a price of around $0.06. Yes, that’s right! $0.06 — cheaper than a chocolate bar. So, if you had $20 to invest in Bitcoin in 2010, you could have bought 333 Bitcoins. Those 333 Bitcoins would now be worth over $3.7 Million! I bet you wish you knew how to invest in Bitcoin then, right?
2011: Bitcoin grew steadily in 2010 and started 2011 at a price of around $0.30. Towards the end of 2011, it was worth around $6.10. That’s a total increase of over 2000%! At this time, Bitcoin was being used to buy illegal things online through the “Dark Web”.
Note: Bitcoin transactions are anonymous. This allows people to be unknown when paying in Bitcoin. The most common website that was known for selling illegal things online for Bitcoin was “Silk Road”. As you can imagine, “Silk Road” ended badly for its creator.
2013: This was the year of “Bitcoin accepted here”. Businesses started to accept Bitcoin as a payment option and Bitcoin reached a total market cap of $1 billion. By the end of 2013, one Bitcoin was worth around $817!
Market Cap: Bitcoin’s market cap is the total price of all Bitcoins added together.
2014: As for the price of Bitcoin, 2014 wasn’t a great year. The price of Bitcoin had dropped to $300 by the end of the year. However, this was the year that Microsoft started to accept Bitcoin payments. You could now use Bitcoin to buy Xbox games, apps and videos from Microsoft. This was a huge step for Bitcoin.
2017: Without a doubt, 2017 was the year that Bitcoin exploded. Wall Street and large investment banks started to invest in Bitcoin. Lots and lots of people started following Bitcoin — it started to be on the news every day. The price of Bitcoin went really high, starting at around $985 and rising to heights of nearly $65,000!
To be Continued.
It's a new day,
God I thank you for the gift of life.
