Iceberg
John C. Maxwell in his book **talent is never enough** said and I quote
*"People are like iceberg s, there is more to them than meets the eye"*
When you see or look at an iceberg, you can't see it all. Only about 20% or less is visible while the rest is below the surface.
One of the things sailors dreaded the most is hitting an iceberg while sailing across an ocean or a sea. Why? It's because they do understand that what they are seeing or what their ship or vessel hit isn't what they see but what is beneath it which they can't see that they are more afraid of.
One may wonder what's with the iceberg thing? Well I am not a motivational speaker neither am I a preacher but this article is only to bring someone back on track and to share the little knowledge gained from top people which I believe is going to help.
I do believe (and I believe you do also) that every human born on Earth is destined to be great though not all will be great. Everyone given birth to are endowed with a particular or special gift (Talent) by their creator.
Now like an iceberg, the 20% visible is this gift given to Man by the creator, and what is the remaining 80% this are the values that sustain the 20% that is visible to all.
A popular Chinese actor said and I quote;
*"I am less afraid of a man who knows a thousand kick than he who knows a single kick"*
The point is clear here. The actor understood that knowing a thousand kick isn't the main deal, but what is behind or below those kicks. Knowing those thousand kicks a indeed a great deal of talent but can those shallow thousand kicks be more effective than the single kick than is deep? Of course not.
Now we know that the top of an iceberg has been described as our talent, our area of strength but what is now the core values that makes up the rest of our iceberg that makes our talent effective?
John Maxwell said
*"One of the paradox of life is that things that initially makes one successful rarely keeps one successful"*
I completely agree with John on this. What you did to become successful in life isn't what will keep you in that success but the core values that are beneath that makes up the success people are seeing.
If you ask a dozen people about what makes our talent or gift have impact, you probably will have a dozen answers but here is what I have.
1. Self-discipline
Greek philosopher Plato said
*"The first and best victory is to conquer self"*
Self-discipline is doing what you ought to to do even when you don't want to do it. Self-discipline is one of the values that are beneath that people can't see that fine-tune one talent that people see and keep one in success. Your talent can bring you success but self-discipline will keep you in it.
Henry Parry said
*"What we do on great occasion s will probably depend on what we already are; and we we are will be the results of previous years of self-discipline"*
Other values that makes up that are beneath, that strengthen our talent are Integrity, Focus, Knowing who we are and lots more.

The terrorist amist us
Truly in the society we find our self, sexual violence is an unseen terrorist that’s been rampaging all around and happy to hear or know that the society is deploying every tactics she knows in fighting it. But the society seems like to be fighting this war with a tactics that’s more favorable to one gender over the other not because its intentional but because the society seems to look towards one gender as the victim and the other as the perpetrator.
Anytime sexual violence is been reported, 95% if not 99% of the populace believes the female to be the victim and of course the male the perpetrator, why? Well, this may be as a result of different reasons which we as an individual can think within ourselves but some of the reasons why the society has always seen the females as the victims is because the society we found our self has imbedded this ideology into us all that the female are the only species that suffers such violence, why? Because we are all taught that the males are always in control when it comes to any sexually related activity. Also I also think that the fact that the females always speak out whenever they fall victims, has also strengthen the believe of what the society has imbedded in us all.
Due to the above, the society has in one way or the other turn a deaf ear or blind eye to this same terrorism fighting the men/boys. Robert Blum a physician with over 40yrs of studying adolescents and also one of Johns Hopkins scholars, in one of his words said “our data suggest that, the myth that boys are advantaged and girls are disadvantaged simply isn’t true”. Even more troubling Blum said, the research he and his team carried out showed that boys suffers even higher levels of physical violence, neglect and sexual abuse than girls. As we all know, the movement for gender equality is focused on empowering the girls. But to Blum, acquiring gender equality also requires attention for boys. Those findings I think should ring a bit. We can’t solve the problem of sexual violence against girls and women without also addressing violence against men and boys. For the more a boy is victimized, the more likely he would do just that to others.
Statistics showed that 10 out of every sixty boys/men that is, 1:6 has been sexually victimized. And in 2015, a survey by Centers for Disease Controls and Preventions found out that, about 4million men (5.6million women) had been sexually victimized just the previous year. As I said earlier, any case of sexual assault that arise is been seen by everyone as boys being the perpetrator and the girls the victims, but that is a damaging ideology built on the stereotype that males are invulnerable. And this has canceled the truth that boys get hurt and men need help. We just found our self in a society that makes it hard for men to admit to this truth.
To fight this terror of sexual violence in our society, attention shouldn’t be one sided, but all sided. For it’s a battle fighting from every sides and we need to counter from every side.
SOLICITING
Hi everyone I’m Michael by name and a member of this great platform for months now. As you might have noticed, this is the first post from me for the past two to three months now. I wasn’t able to publish any post not because I was sick nor is read.cash rejecting my post. The problem is, I was robbed of all my gadgets (laptop and phones) which I use for work (3D) and also write articles which I post here. I am currently handicapped, because I can’t take new jobs as a freelancer since what I use for work has been stolen. My post of today was from a friend. The total amount I need to get another laptop is $200 and I promise to use the funds for the sole purpose. No amount is too little
Forgive to be Forgiven
I know it might sound weird to our hearings but the topic of today is something we need in our everyday life. Many people never forgives or have this heart of not to let go of others offences to them. They hold grudges against them paint them bad to others just to get back to them.
If we should go not only by the two most populous religions but by all religion now, forgiveness is something they all preach. But before we go further let’s look at what it means to forgive.
TO FORGIVE MEANS TO PARDON AN OFFENCE COMMITED AGAINST US BY PEOPLE. TO LET GO OF CRIMES COMMITED AGAINST US. That’s the best definition I can give to that.
One interesting thing about forgiveness is, it’s something you have to give before you can receive it. In other words, you have to forgive the people who wronged you before you can be forgiven by God for your wrong doings.
I know there are people who have or are hurting us and we feel like “I can never forgive you this person for what he/she did to me”. But the truth of the matter is that we will continue to be offended till the day we return to where we came from and for all these while you are being offended you have to forgive. You might now be thinking, why should I forgive these people? Well you have to forgive them for the following reasons
*It’s a commandment from God to forgive others who wronged us.
*For the general well being of your health. If you refuse to let go of an offence committed against you, you end up with some health challenges resulting from you think on how to get back at the person who wronged you.
*You have to forgive for you to be forgiven.
In conclusion forgiveness is something we must give out freely. We ought to learn from the hurts we are received only but let go of the hurt and embrace we doctrine of forgiving.
Shortcuts.
Sometimes, many people or everyone wish they can find a shorter way to their destination in life. Whether they are travelling or are planning to achive something in life but forget that all ways that leads to their destination is not the path to their destination. Everything in life is in two faces. There is good and bad, day and night, time to be born and time to die, time to plant and time to harvest.
In this contemporary world that we are now, people are desperate to archive their dreams whether its God’s plan for them or not. People especially the youths don’t want to do the jobs. They don’t want to get that genuine experience that will make the story behind their glory something to be proud of. Though some since they have lost every iota of conscience in them as well the fear of God feel proud on how they achieve their success when it came in the wrong way. Shortcuts are now the order of the day.
True to be said, even God knew the dangers associated with following through a shortcut and for that, he took the children of Israel through the desert when there is a shorter way that leads to the promise land. You can check out the book of Exodus 13v17 as a reference for what I said. What God saw in the midst of the of the shorter way that led through Philistines, was war and he knew this will make the children of Israel run back to where God has delivered them from. Beloved do you know the shortcut you want to take so as to become that fealty rich man/woman might be the last of you? If peradventure you scaled through the wars in the midst of this shortcut that you are following that the Lord is not telling you to, do you think you are going to enjoy the tidings for long? This is a question we should ask ourselves.
Now don’t get me wrong. The shortcuts I’m referring to here is not doing the work and want to reap the profits where you did not sow
Remember, the hands that stays idle is the hand the devils borrows to carry out his mission. Find something doing, don’t try cutting corners just to get there quick, do the work, get the genuine experience and let the story behind your glory real as you will be sharing it with others.
Critical traits of a leader
CRITICAL TRAITS OF A LEADER
Over the years, I’ve conducted qualitative research on what positive,
inspiring leadership looks like (and what it is not). Sadly, over the
past several years, we’ve seen an increase of examples of negative and
destructive leadership and communication that has palpable results –
it leads to a dramatic expansion of fear, hate, recrimination,
divisiveness, blame and anxiety. Those outcomes are the opposite of
what enlightened leadership generates.
How do positive influencers and leaders make a meaningful difference
to the people and endeavors they touch?
I’ve seen that there are six critical traits of positive,
life-affirming leadership that uplifts rather than destroys. And you
can begin cultivating these in your own life today.
These six keys are:
1-They are clear about the challenges ahead, but they inspire faith,
hope and collaboration, not fear.
2-Blame is not in their rhetoric – they never stoop to recrimination
or demeaning, belittling language.
3-Their self-esteem is strong enough to take constructive criticism
and critique, and in fact, they welcome it.
4-Their communication style is positive, with words that inspire
greatness and growth in us.
5-They don’t surround themselves only with people who “yes” them –
they surround themselves with diversity, truth and openness.
6-The success that they long for is success and opportunity for all –
not just one faction, group, or organization.
Who the hell is Mila?
Oh baby, you took me to heaven with your nice moves. I never knew you were this good. No baby you are really the one who did that to me he said as he planted a kiss unto her forehead.
You’ve got lectures today Mila? He asked as he readjusted his positin in other to cuddle her properly so as not to make himself inconvenient.
Yes baby she replied, but I don’t think im gonna attend that.
Why?,
Uhmmm baby I really wanna be in this arms for the day.
Really? You sure want that? He asked her sweetly and she nodded yes.
Alright baby. You wanna stay? So be it. Lets enjoy the company of each other today he said as they both stood up to take their leave out of the park where they have been having fun to get something to eat in an eatery.
Through out the day, Mila was with her man. The best any lady could ever think of. By evening when they are done with the fun of the day, he escorted her back to the hostel where they bid each other a good night accompanied with a kiss.
The next day as Mila’s man Paul stepped his foot into the class, here and there comes cheering from his friends who were in it together.
Wait man don’t tell me you’ve gotten that girl.
Which girl dude? Paul asked feigning ignorance.
Im gonna kill you man his friend said. Common man im talking about the Mila girl who always do like no man can get her.
Really. Paul said as he laughed. I told you guys im the king of babes. The only girl who can reject me is yet to be born. I told you guys to come have some teachings from me. To surprise you guys, im not the one who even toasted her just to let you know how effective my method is.
Paul as well known by his friends and few people is a guy who knows how to sweep ladies off their feet with his words. But unknowing to the new ladies who he is, they always fall for his words, see him as the sweetest guy on earth, well, until the night she shows his true color. Due to the hailings he gets from his friends, he comes to enjoy the pain he causes this ladies and so, continue in his act. This same fate was about to befall Mila. Before Paul calls it quit in all of his fake relationships, he always asked for intimacy and after which he is done, then he breaks the news, so in this way, the lady feels to be at the loosing end and be pained more.
This day came when Paul wanted to do what he enjoys to Mila so he asked her for it. His farewell action but unknown to Mila. Due to how sweet he is with his words he was able to get a hold of her to submit to his demand even though it's not really what she wants at the moment but who will want to loose a guy like Paul.
Paul was still on the bed with Mila when a knock was heard from the door. Come in Paul answer. In his mind he thought, come in and let this one cry out. As she stepped in he greeted her with a long french kiss in the presence of Mila. Not minding Mila who was sitting on the bed, he hugged, caressed and do lot of things just to get Mila angry but she didn't. So to make it worse, he asked her to join him on the bed. To his greatest nightmare the bed could only accommodate two people so he thought Mila will have to leave so she could join him. But as he lied down, the new catch lyed down to. He looked and saw Mila lying on the bed looking at him, but to his surprise his new catch can't see Mila for she is lying right on top of her. Who the hell is Mila is the question Paul has been asking since this incident. Could you please help Paul out by answering this question. He's in psychiatry right now chained to the wall.
Why ladies love tall guys
I’ve come to notice that 80% I know or have come across kind of like guys who are taller than them for best reason known to them. Well as you’ve seen some of my articles on this forum on topics related this, I have to go all out in other to find out the reason or why this is so.
But to be candid, it’s really not an easy thing to go gather info from people about such personal matters. But no matter how hard it may be, there are still some who are going to help out. The following points are the reasons some of the ladies I met who are willing to help me with this gave as the reason why most ladies kind of like/love guys who are taller than them better.
**WHY DO YOU THINK LADIES TEND TO LIKE GUYS TALLER THAN THEM?**
*Tall guys look so manly: while this might not make sense to some people, some ladies think tall guys looks macho. And to many ladies, a guy’s height reflects his manliness.
*It feels safe with tall guys: to some this might also look senseless but many thinks this way. They tend to feel safe while together with a guy taller than them in times of bad weather of danger, the guy just simply embraces her in his arms and make her safe.
*with tall guys by you, you don’t worry about keeping things at highest point at home: this may sound funny but this is what most actually this also. They feel with this tall handsome buddy here by my side chairs or ladders ain’t needed in other to get to that height. They think instead of ladders or chairs, the guy just grab them by the waist and up he lifts her.
*makes me feel more petite and feminine: many ladies wants to feel who they are when around their man. When a lady is shorter than her man, she feels that height difference between the two tells their different sexes. Girls want to feel girly so they get this feeling when dating someone taller than them.
*tall guys are very confident: most short guys will oppose this but the truth is that tall guys are kind of more confident and short guys kind of have this low self esteem. This confidence is what ladies kind of fall for.
*its in ladies DNA to believe tall men are better: I think its something that’s embedded in women from above to believe tall guys are better than the sho…… ones. The very same way men are naturally attracted to wide hips, big boobs, and pretty face so it is also with ladies about tall guys.
These are some of the reason I came to find. You guys can add yours if you know of any.
Be Excellent
Make it beautifull.
HI everyone and I hope our year has been going on well. This year, we will all have an exceptional testimony in the name of jesus.
I believe as an individual, we all have one thing or the other that we do for our daily living which many are also involed in. well to say many are making it in that same field why some are struggling. Its not like the struggling ones aren’t hardworking although some aren’t. There is a law that guides everything on earth but i'm not going into that today. I will like to talk about Excellence. How creative are you or how excellent are you in the field you find yourself. Know it now people who excel in the fields where some are struggling are doing something which the struggling ones aren’t doing and this thing they do differently is what makes them stand out from the rest. This is the spirit of been creative or excellent in what one does. In everything man finds his/her self doing, the lord expexcts you to be creative because we are made in his image and he is creative.
Gen. 1v31 speaks about God looking at his works on the sixth day and saw that it was good. Note the bible said “it was good but not beautiful” because of this God created man with the spirit of creativity in other to make the good things he created beautiful using the spirit of excellence he embedded in man. For this same reason God asked man to name all the creatures he made. Something he could do himself but because he knew the spirit he has put in man, he entrusted the duty to him. Something excellent only comes out of something good.
Do note the spirit of creativity doesn’t come on man like the holyspirit we always pray to come into us. The spirit of excellence, of creativity is already in you since birth but you are the onl;y one who can bring it out in you. You have to nuture it, train it and this is a continous task till time of death because the day you stoped developing this spirit in you, you are no more excellent.
Be creative in what you do, bring it out in a different format. In this life, nothing is new anymore everthing is just been renovated by the people who has nurtured this great spirit God imbedded in man.
***Factors that makes one excellent***

Metrics of measuring success
Character
Relationship
Timing

Business strategy

Blindness
Unknown to people, blindness is not only when one couldn’t se with their physical eyes. Why? Because many never new that blindness is not limited to eyes. Just has there are various ways of been dead without actually be dead (that is the people who are called the walking dead) people who are living without a purpose who are just living, moving in the direction the world leads them.
There are people who are living in the midst of opportunities that can turn their lives around for the best but couldn’t see it. They are suffering in scarcity the midst of plenty because they are blind and couldn’t see this opportunities. In this article ill talk about some few types of blindness (which you can also mention yours to if you have any in the comment section below) and I believe I I’ll be able to help step up your understanding by the mercy of the almighty.
1_ The first type of blindness I’ll talk about is the physical blindness- these is the state of not beign able to see anything physically. It’s the experience of being in darkness all time in one’s life (as explained by a blind person communicated to).
2_ Mental blindness- this is the state of been blind creatively. This set of people are in one way or the order doing something but are never creative not because they don’t want to, but because they re blind from seeing things in a different way. These sets of individuals also don’t see opportunity. I believe most of us know the story of two students who visited India. Then these people don’t have shoes not because there is no shoe, but because they cant afford it. They both looked at the condition of these people, but only one saw opportunity from the scenario. The one who saw the opportunity went back to get shoes that are very cheap to sell and from there, the rest is stories. MANY PEOPLE JUST LOOK BUT THEY DON’T SEE BECAUSE THEY ARE MENTALLY BLINDED.
Some may be thinking alright you have listed the problem what is the solution. Physical blindness maybe corrected by man but any other type of blindness both the one mention here and the ones not mentioned can only be heal by one person who is God. Go to him in prayers and I believe we will find our salvation in him and only him alone.
Advice for the New year
Hello 2021 how've you been doing. I welcome all you all to this year and I believe this year is going to be far better than the ones we've been through in life. 2020 was so tough not to a particular nation or continent but to the whole world but I believe the world is coming back stronger.
This is a new year and you shouldn't afford to put a new wine into an old jar. You can't do things the same way you did it in 2020 and expect a different result in 2021.
For the year 2021, I've got some advice for anyone who is willing to hear and I believe it's really going to help.
1- Don't be stuck to your past. Don't be down because of what you lost in the previous year. Live is like a soccer game. Some time you win and sometimes you loose. But one thing remain for sure, LIFE GOES ON. Forget what happened and look forward to what will happen. Note we can't change our past but we can change our future.
2- Scrutinize the people around you. Delete the people/contact of people who added no value to your life the previous year and surround yourself with people of great insight. A fool who walks with the wise people become wise.
3- Do what you love and not what you admire. Do things that you will still be happy doing even if you are not paid. With you doing this, depression will be something you won't worry about when working.
4- Be strong.
5- Don't be intimidated.
6- Above all service to the almighty.
This is just a little advice from me and I hope it helps.
This year will be productive to us all by the grace of God.
It's been a while here on read.cash. Since it's my first time this year let me say a happy New year to everyone on this platform, thanks for your support through out the year 2020. May we make it big this year. Special thanks to the read.cash community.
Love square
All we hear about mostly is love triangle, how about hearing a new kind of love story which involves this time not three people but four. LOVE SQUARE.
Jane a year one student in the university was being chased after by a fellow coursemate. This guy's name is John who's also a year one student. John who loves Jane allot always tries his best to please her maybe she could in return love him. John almost everyday takes Jane out for lunch which she always insist on taking it home. Despite all what John does, Jane never said yes to his proposal but always saying the famous qoute "I'll think about it".
There's this guy who is a year three student in the same institution and also same course. His name is Josiah. This guy is who Jane run after. She loves him so much that she confessed her love to him. Anytime she raises the issue of her feeling, he always find a way to knock down the conversation in other to avoid giving her an answer. In other to see Josiah every now and then Jane uses tutorials as excuses to see him. Everytime she's going for a tutorials, she comes with a lunch for Josiah. As you guessed well, this is the same food John buys for her. This Josiah guy has a girl he loves so much whom is a year one student but in a different department. This is the girl Josiah run after just as Jane run after him. Her name is Justina. Justina a girl of average height and also plummy whom is a crush of many guys in her department. But Josiah's love for her is exceptional that the rest students think they are dating but no they are not. Josiah when ever he receives a gift from Jane at times gives it to Justina. Although Justina has told Josiah point blank that she can't date him but can settle for a friend. Josiah agreed to this but with his interior motives of eventually winning her heart. But this heart of hers that Josiah want to win has already been given to John even though it wasn't accepted. Justina and John are really close pals but Justina wants something more which John isn't ready to give to her because he has already given that to someone else.
One day, John bought for Jane a unisex neck chain. When he giftted her the chain, she was extremely happy and planted a kiss on John's lips. This kept John day dreaming thinking to himself that it seems like he starting to get success in winning her heart. After some time, Jane gifted the chain to Josiah for his birthday which he appreciated. She took him out to have fun together. After the day's fun with Jane, Josiah took the chain to Justina and gifted her the chain for New year. Justina who has been thinking hard on what to gift John for New year was filled with joy as she collected the chain from Josiah. but in other not to give him just the chain, she got a pendant and added it to the chain and packaged it before gifting it to John.
John on receiving the gift was happy because this type he has got a chain with pendant to gift Jane for New year.......
Please note: This story is just for reading sake...
Creativity
Don’t think you are creative when you are able to do some things. When I say some things, I mean things that anyone can guess how it can be done that way or recreating something that someone else has created the same way. That’s not creativity but copycat. First of all let’s define what creativity means then maybe we might grasp a better understanding of what being creative is all about.
Creativity is the art of turning new imaginative ideas into reality. Now take note, the new and imaginative ideas here doesn’t mean when you want to be creative you must make something new. Something the world has never seen. No. Not that. You can be creative in something you didn’t create but picked up along the way and still stand out among the numerous people who do the same thing. Let’s take artists for example, all the great artist that history kept mentioning like the likes of Leonardo Da Vinci are not the first people to paint neither were they the ones who invented painting but creativity made them stand out among millions of artists out there.
Look not only creating something new is creative but even recreating something in existence in a new dimension that will beat the original invention is what is meant to be creative. Karl Benz made a car but creativity is what made us ride luxurious cars around today. The kind of airplane the world is riding today, is as a result of some creative minds who recreated what the Wright Brothers created.
Creative people thing differently from others. You can call them abnormal people. I think I like that because it takes a certain degree of abnormality to challenge oneself and bring into being something which is not.
*“If you have ideas but don’t act on them, you are only imaginative but not creative.”* Basola Victor.
The Robber of Happiness
As the saying goes, MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, so also I say everything has it's own opposite. If money is the root of all evil then CONTENTMENT IS THE ROOT OF HAPPINESS. Yeah you might be wondering how money turned out to being the opposite contentment in this article. I'm not saying money and contentment are opposite words, no, they aren't but I'm only using it as an analogy. Many people lack happiness in their lives, some with reasons they point to, and some don't even know why they are unhappy. The truth is, everyone can be happy if they choose to and one of the strongest weapon to being happy is CONTENTMENT which many has lost.
Contentment is the state of being satisfied with your present circumstance. I know many might be thinking why should one be satisfied with one current circumstance. If one is satisfied with their current circumstance, then they won't move forward in life because they like the position they are. Please note, don't make the mistake of misinterpreting the word to be contented and to aspire.
Humans current development is as a result of their aspiration but they are now in one way or the other destroying everything through lack of contentment. I've talked to many people who will say once they are rich then happiness will come. True there is a joy that comes with money but it never last. If the person who got the money lacks contentment, he or she won't enjoy the joy that comes with the money. There are billionaires families who lack happiness which can be found in the family of a poverty stricken man. Why? Because the poor man didn't allow lack of contentment to rob him of his happiness. The urge to have more is good in fact I think it's a thing God put in man. But when you begin to see what you want to be everything to you rejecting or not valuing what you have at present, then you let lack of contentment to rob you of your happiness.
Lack of contentment has led many into their greatest nightmares. Many has fallen in depression some becoming addicts, some because of lack of contentment has developed high blood pressure which they have to control by drugs almost daily. The truth is all this problems can be averted with contentment. Be thankful and satisfied with what you have, with your current circumstance and aspire for the next level which you are looking forward to.
Life....
Life will always knock us down. But it's left to us to either learn from it and continue our life or stay in regret and not moving. Someone said, "if you can't fly, run. If you can't run, walk and if you can't walk, crawl. In whatsoever way, just make sure you are moving. Life is a school which has no end. Nobody in life can graduate from the school of life except when they were certified by death (and this mean only when they die, they stop learning something new about life).
Some people especially in Africa as much as I know are quick to link their miseries whether in business or personal life to spiritual attacks. This is prity much understandable because such cases is something very common. But not all is an attack. Some just needs common sense of man and everything will be fine.
When some people want to start a business, they tend to miss the crucial part of it which is planning both for failure and success. When they want to start the business, all what they look for is just capital not knowing that money is the number 13th out of 15 things you need to start a business. Many don't want to start from scratch. They go to start from the top and when they collapse due to lack of good foundation they blame spiritual attacks when they are their own attacks.
When we fail to plan, then we are planning to fail. The only antidote for failure is planning.
Believe in Jesus (John 14v14)
(John 14v14) Christ was speaking to his disciples in this verse telling them to ask anything in his name and it will be done. Many Christians still don't know the kind of gift and access God has given us through Jesus.
Now, if you read that verse properly, Christ said; " If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."(KJV). Christ didn't say I MIGHT do it or he MAY do it but said he WILL do it. Unlike might and may, the word will is a comfirmative word which can be used only by people who are able.
Another problem with Christians now is that the devil has toyed with their minds that they no longer see the affirmative word of Christ but completely filled up with doubt. You can't get anything from God with a doubtful heart because a doubtful heart is a faithless life and without faith no one can please God (Hebrew 11).
It's only in the human realm that we have to see before we believe. But when it comes to God's way, you believe first before you can see it. Everyone has already been given what he/she asked for but yet to see it not because of anything but lack of faith in God and note you are already committing sin if you have no faith in God. For without faith, no man can please God.
Our God honours his word more than his name. Use his words in your prayers and see him in a new dimension.

In the beginning, the FIAT currency was the order of the day. No one could do without it neither can you get it in a different form. But all the days of FIAT, it was never stable. He has taken the people for granted by rising and falling anyhow and in one way or the other bias towards some people. Whenever he’s been used for a transaction, he commands a high price for him to complete the transaction or he will not do it and possibly he’s going to get lost, meaning he is not going to come back to the one who sent him. This has been a problem to many people and has always looked forth to someone who can save them from the menace of FIAT.
By 2008AD, FIAT met a doom which crashed it down. There was a global financial meltdown and as you know fiat was badly affected. This led people into great sufferings, the rich became poor and the poor found themselves in abject poverty. Once again people looked forth to someone who could save them from all these.
There was a man named SATOSHI NAKAMOTO who also was one of this people that the fiat has affected. When he was coming back home from work in his beetle car, he was thinking how to save this people and also himself from the menace of FIAT instead of all of them waiting for a savior who will never come. He came to this conclusion that no savior is coming from anywhere because the savior is already in their midst but no one just has the courage or the idea.
One day, when SATOSHI was reading a mail sent to him via e-mail from a friend abroad, an idea dropped in his heart. The idea was that if it’s possible for us to be able to get a mail digitally, then we should be able to have a currency digitally. With this idea, SATOSHI went and shared it with some people of like minded. At first, it seems impossible but as time goes on, the people he shared the idea with agreed to work together and that was the genesis of a great rival for FIAT.
SATOSHI and his colleagues went to work and before the end of 2008AD, they had created a digital currency which they call the BITCOIN. They didn’t release this currency into the market for a reason best known to them until in 2009AD. This currency they created came with advantages. Some of these advantages are; *the currency is purely digital. It cannot be withdrawn from a bank like fiat. This method makes you to be safe from robbers. *The value is the same all over the globe. And the value increases which yields more interest than fiat. * it cannot be monitored. That is, it is very well encrypted that no one can intrude your financial privacy.
With all these people began to use this new digital currency ( BITCOIN) for most of their transactions though FIAT was not abandoned because it can never be, it experienced a great shortage. But as time went on, people began to complain about some difficulties with the once upon a time savior BITCOIN. Even some returned back to do business with FIAT because they say BITCOIN fees its getting on the high side. These complaints of the people caused the organization of SATOSHI call for a meeting on how to solve these problems. Many issues were discussed and many solutions were raised from this meeting. At last, the organization agreement split into two. Some agreed with solution A, while some agreed with solution B. this led to the breaking into two the SATOSHI organization. People that agreed with solution A, continued with the BITCOIN while those that agreed with solution be created a new type of BITCOIN but this type of their own bitcoin was a simpler version of the initial bitcoin. They followed the footprints of the first bitcoin in producing their own version but edited the works done in other to make their own currency better. By 2017AD, this new digital currency was released and named BITCOIN too but with a suname CASH hence the name BITCOINCASH. This new digital currency they made was better than the original bitcoin almost in every way except for the monetary value. So far from 2017AD, this new bitcoin has showed to the people that he is far better than his creator the BITCOIN in doin transactions and a host of other things and people has so far put their faith in it when doing business because of its simplicity, low transaction fees and speed.
After the creation of BITCOIN in 2008AD, many people who were inspired through what SATOSHI did also went ahead to produce their own version of digital currency which is now called ALTCOINS and each of them with its own unique feature. But will any of these digital currencies be able to solve the world’s financial problem? Wont they one day disappoint the people just like FIAT did and people will be looking for another savior? Well, only time can tell.
PLEASE NOTE, THE ABOVE IS NOT A HISTORY OF CRYPTOCURENCY ITS JUST ME TRYING TO BE CREATIVE.
Ladies Dream Guys
Almost 90% of ladies when asked which kind of guy they want to spend the rest of their lives with end up giving the same attributes or quality they want in a man. This makes me wonder, if the guys with these qualities are the inly ones the ladies wnt then who should be the one to marry the ones without the quality? (just kidding there).
I have tried to speak with some ladies I was able to (and you can try that where you live too) by asking them what they want in a man that they want to spend the rest of their life with. Its shocking that almost 80% of them said the same thing but in different order. Some of this qualities I tell you is so funny that anytime I remember, I just laugh. (actually I think going out there to ask for peoples view on some matters can be a way of saving yourself of boredom because you just in one way or the other end up with a view you cant help but just laugh till your tummy hurts).
Now my question when I went out there was this; WHAT KIND OF A GUY IS YOUR DREAM GUY? ( I’ll like to hear from the ladies on read.cash too). This question generated missed feelings though because it didn’t went down well with some. They were just like “why do you want to know, is there someone in your family that needs a wife bla bla bla……..” ( that’s part of what you come across anytime you go out there to get peoples view, So it doesn’t matter to me. I’ll still go out there again). For those that the question went down well with, below are some of their answers.
Note, the answers below are just the main points in their points.
Q: WHAT KIND OF A GUY IS YOUR DREAM GUY?
RES: Wow! I want a tall, muscular and handsome guy who is so caring.
Q: WHAT KIND OF A GUY IS YOUR DREAM GUY?
RES. I just want a rich and romantic guy.
Q: WHAT KIND OF A GUY IS YOUR DREAM GUY?
RES: A rich guy that has a nice size of “uncle Thomas” down there.
Q: WHAT KIND OF A GUY IS YOUR DREAM GUY?
RES: A God fearing man and of course rich.
Q: WHAT KIND OF A GUY IS YOUR DREAM GUY?
RES: A nice man who is God fearing, caring, romantic and has a good pay cheque. ( when she was asked if she can marry a business man, she said: “if the business is already stable then no problem. But if not, nada.)
Q: WHAT KIND OF A GUY IS YOUR DREAM GUY?
RES: A guy who is caring and loves partying and of course rich. Has to be good in bed too.
Q: WHAT KIND OF A GUY IS YOUR DREAM GUY?
RES: A God fearing, hardworking and a caring man.
Q: WHAT KIND OF A GUY IS YOUR DREAM GUY?
RES: Look my brother, any guy na guy make he just like me and make he dey do bad things. ( Meaning any guy that that comes her way. She just wants him to love her and shouldn't be involved in any bad things).
The response got, went on and on which I can't put down everything here. But what got me baffled was that many didn't even want a God fearing man. Even those who added those qualities mentioned it after mentioning almost every other things. Does this mean that some ladies don't look into the future or they just don't want to build a future with a guy who has a bright but yet fulfilled future. Still wondering............
The people Europeans met when they came to Africa.
It's just out of context if left to me when discussing the topic that civilization of Africa was brought by the Europeans. True this Europeans brought a more advanced civilization,but didn't meet Africa at her primitive state. Every historian because of the reason best known to them writes the history of Africa in favor of the Europeans.
Before the coming of the Europeans, Africa already has it's own civilization and there are many evidence of that.
To me, the Europeans claiming of bringing civilization to Africa I think is because of their way of life which they brought down to Africa of which some were imposed on the masses. They brought their values, culture and others to Africa of which many were very good and important while many are not.
I said earlier that there are facts backing Africa of being a civilised continent even before the coming of the Europeans. This are all evidences that are right before our nose. We are seeing it but don't want to believe it because of what we've been taught in school. There are so many facts to Africa's civilization before the coming of the Europeans which I believe you can find with the help of the search engine (Google, Wikipedia....) but here is a few I'm going to mention.
* The pyramid of Egypt.
Egypt was believed to be where civilization began before spreading out to the world. But that's not my point here but the pyramid is. The pyramid has been there since before the coming of the Europeans and this pyramid is said to be of a great architectural intellect. So tell me how can such be if Africa was still primitive before the coming of the Europeans.
* The Benin kingdom in Nigeria.
This kingdom is one of the oldest kingdoms in the world. Unknown to many, this kingdom has a wall way greater than the great Wall of China but because it has been destroyed when the Europeans invaded the kingdom so no tales was said of it. This kingdom when first visited by the Europeans before they came back to invade it, said, the building plan of the kingdom was like that being used in London and where surprised how people who didn't attend school could do something they can do only after going through training in school. If Africa was primitive, this wouldn't be.
* Art works of Africa
* Visitation of king Solomon by Queen Sheba.
There are so more facts that can be stated ( of which you can state yours in the comments section below) that shows that Africa was already in her own way of civilization before the coming of the Europeans.
I'm not in any way saying the Europeans didn't bring civilization to Africa. They did, but they met people who are already civilised in their own way.
Adopting crypto (BCH) for transactions in Africa.
Africa as a continent as of recent been heavily going into cryptocurrency majorly by the citizens. This may be due to various reasons of which all cannot be over emphasized.
Countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Botswana, Kenya, South Africa and a host of others are the main countries into cryptocurrency as reported by gobitcoin.io a site which deals mainly with the Africa cryptocurrency news.
Atleast two or three of the above mentioned countries are like the leading countries of the continent of which most other African countries emulate. If the citizens of the rest countries in the continent move on with the trend of moving into cryptocurency then Africa might be in no time a giant in the continents with largest population of people who own a cryptocurency even though it's rarely mentioned now. Due to the fall of local currencies to Dollar which is the global currency, this will now lead me to what I want say today.
What if CRYPTOCURENCY TAKES OVER FROM USD AS THE CURRENCY FOR DOING INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS?. Well known to all, cryptocurency is an unregulated currency which makes life easier when dealing with international bodies. Basically, all countries in Africa has to trade in USD whenever they want to do business with an international body and this comes with a lot of side charges which may at times put the buyer or the seller on the loosing side. But this is not the same when it comes to cryptocurency especially BCH.
Of course when it comes to cryptocurency there are big names out there with likes of, Bitcoin, litecoin, monero, and a bunch of others but I specifically choosed Bitcoin cash because of its simplicity and a very low transaction charges when compared to other cryptos out there. I've been able to trade some coins out there and BCH turns out better.
Some positive side I think comes when trading in cryptocurency (BCH)
* Very little charges paid so profit is optimal.
* Unregulated. You can trade internationally with any amount and not breaking any law.
* Very secure and guaranteed. Unless you are dealing with a scammer, there can be no issues of failed transaction which can result in money loss.
* Not affected by the rise and fall of the country currency.
* It's untraceable.
Many more advantages is related to this which is not mentioned here.
Although the transaction been untraceable could be both good and bad.
However, adoptation of cryptocurency could leads to loss in the Nation/government side because all revenue generated through the charges placed on transactions perform will no more be there. This could be a major setback for cryptos to being adopted as a means of transaction by any African nation. And if by chance cryptocurency keeps getting stronger against USD in doing international transaction, then it should be ready to get regulated.
Deceptive Love
Still lying together on bed, he turned around to put on the sound system. After shuffling through his phone music, he finally play one after connect his phone with the sound system. Boom THREE LITTLE BIRDS DON’T WORRY by the reggae god Bob Marley filled the air.
Oh common baby that’s to loud she said lovingly into his ears. Sorry bae he said as he turned down the volume of the sound system to make the music a backgrounder. Good morning my heartbeat he said accompanied it with a peck which she responded joyfully and then rested her head on him as she runs her fingers though his haired chest. I wish everyday could be like this. I really want to always wake up with you by my side. Your voice, she said as she looks into his eyes “makes my heart blossom just like the sun does to the flowers”. He gave her a faint but passionate smile of assurance as he gently placed her head back on his chest. “ don’t worry, about a thing, coz every little thing gonna be alright” he sang along with his masculine voice as he gently used his fingers as a comb for her hair. Baby, do you remember what I told you on our first date? Yes; she said. I’m not going back on my words. But this is about your family. Your mum in particular she said with a worried tone. I know he replied, no matter who it is, I’m not going back on my words. She wished she could find solace in his promise, but her heat just didn’t.
I have to go she said as she gets out of the bed to get herself dressed up.
Common baby why so early?;
Coz I don’t want the good memory of this morning to have a sad ending. Look baby your mum might be here at anytime.
You know that hurts? he said as he got up to switch off the sound system. You don’t trust me he said.
She stood still looking into his eyes without a word for some moment. She moved closer to him, hug him, and said; I trust you baby. I do with all my heart.
Alright if you do, you have to come with me to see my mum. You come with me to see her so we can resolve everything.
Are you sure you really want to do that? She asked with now a serious face.
With all my heart he replied.
She picked up her bag and left his house quietly as she boarded a taxi she ordered. After about five minutes, she picked her phone and dialed a number.
Hello. A deep masculine voice spoke from the phone.
The son of a bitch has taken the bait. He will be taking me to his mum soon. You guys should get prepared. Don’t mess around with me this time around.
After a week, he finally brought her to his mum. She looks very anxious in the gigantic house but kept her cool. Few minutes later, a woman at her early 50’s made her way downstairs towards them. Good morning mum she greeted but got reply for her greetings. The woman looked at her from head to toe using her eyes as a scanner and said; I really don’t like you. I’m only taking you because your price isn’t that much. Looking surprised, she turned around to ask him what his mother is talking about. Baby, what is your mum saying? What’s with the price?
Look here girl, I don’t know what he told you, but I’m not his mum ok? I’m never going to be a mum to a woman trafficker.
What!!! You son of a bitch so this is your plan all along. To sell me off into slavery?
Common baby, he said. You’ve spent lot of my money. It’ll just make sense if you get me those money back so I can spend on other ladies who can eventually fetch me more money than you are gonna do don’t you think?
You must be crazy to ever think of selling me off she said with a scornful smile and swiftly dip her hands into her bag to bring out a gun. Get down on your kneels she said to both of them which they don’t want to do but eventually did when her gang members broke in.
Huhhhnn….. baby……. She said as she bends down before him robbing his head with her gun. Thanks for helping me out.
Revealed! Why God rejected Cain offering and why Cain killed his brother.
Hello lovely people hope you all have been having a good time. This is another episode on the series I started that explains to us or answer some of the questions we tend to ask ourselves when reading the word (BIBLE). Today ill be talking on the reason WHY GOD REJECT CAIN OFFERING AND WHY HE KILLED HIS BROTHER just as I had promised in my last article “CAIN’S WIFE” you can check it out.
(Please note, this is a series of teaching. The Holy Spirit might be giving you a better understanding).
Some of us might be thinking that after the fall of man caused by Satan, Adam and Eve were no longer tempted. As a matter of fact, some things that is a norm in today’s world, came as a temptation to Adam. Example is he(Adam) taking Eve to be his wife (my next article will be on this).
In Genesis 4v3-8 talked about what happened and why Cain killed his brother. But please take note most things or stories written in the Bible are only summary of what happened. The bible passage written above only showed Cain offerings not accepted and his countenance fell so, went ahead and slew his brother. But let’s take a look at the book of James 3v12 *“not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew him? Because of his own works were evil and his brother’s righteous”.* The passage above speaks about Abel’s righteousness and Cain’s wickedness. This both things are of the heart. As known, our God is a God that deals with man according to his heart.
Now back to why i said Adam and eve decision is what Satan used to break Adam home. When Adam and eve were talking about giving Cain’s sister to Abel, the hater of all good (Satan) went to pollute the heart of Cain using the decision of Adam and eve. This didn’t get down well with Cain whom has fallen to the speech of Satan who appeared to him in human form. Cain became evil towards his brother, Cain after the devil’s speech, went out of the fields, beat and cursed his mother for agreeing to give his beautiful twin sister to Abel. Although Cain was evil in heart, and also, he fallen for the words of Satan and also the hate he had for his brother because his offerings were always accepted and his rejected was what pushed him to killing his brother. Doing this, he thought, will make him keep his beautiful sister to himself which he did but has to go far away from where Adam was.
In conclusion, God didn’t reject Cain’s offerings only because he didn’t give the best, but also, because his heart is full of evil, proud, full of guile and fraud…
Thanks for reading. Hope you learned something. Keep reading the word. Don’t just read, but do and live according to its teachings.
Cain's Wife.(Where did she come from).
Hello everyone. Hope you are having a good time on read.cash platform. I’m starting a series of teaching on some common questions about some things writing in the Bible, how it came to be, what transpired the verse to be written and a good example of this questions I’m talking about is what I’ll be briefly discussing today. CAIN’S WIFE.
I’m sure many of us would be thinking where Cain got his wife from because the bible didn’t mention any other people living on earth or did it mention that God created any other human apart from Adam and is help mate who later turned to be his wife Eve.
(Please note, this is a series of teaching. The holy spirit might give you a better understanding on the topic(s)).
Genesis 4v17 told us that *“And Cain knew is wife…”* now the question is where did Cain found his wife when there was no other creature on earth?
Well, according to theology, Cain and Abel his brother were not born as single child. They were both twins. Cain twin sister was named LULUWA because she was beautiful than her mother Eve. And Abel twin sister was named AKLIA (meaning not stated).
As they both (Cain and Abel) were coming of Age, their parents decided on whom they would marry. As agreed, between Adam and Eve since there is no other human on earth, they decided to swap their sisters for them to take as wives meaning Cain will marry Aklia Abel twin sister while Abel marries Luluwa Cain’s twin sister. This decision made by the parents is what the devil later used to break the family of Adam. The plan between Adam and his wife never worked out because Abel was slain. After Abel’s death, Cain took his sister Luluwa to be his wife. The reason why Cain slaughtered his brother will be explained in detail in the next series. Cain didn’t find a wife from a different people but from his family.
So, hopefully I’ve answered one of your numerous questions you ask yourself when reading the Bible.
Keep reading the word. And don’t just read but do and live according to its teachings. Until next time, stay blessed.
Lessons from the past mistake
Sometimes, I just wish I could reverse the time back to around 2016/early 2017 when Bitcoin was less than $1000 . I just keep wondering now why at that time I never think of the future. Well maybe I wasn’t ready to wait a long time to make this money or maybe because I wasn’t enlightened then (and I know many made this same mistake).
As its known, when Bitcoin was released, there were apps that helps you to mine on your smart phones using your device CPU (but I really don’t know if there’s any left now and if there is, please share) with no hassle as long your device can handle it. I once had one of this apps (can’t remember the name now though) but because it slows down my device I went ahead deleting it even after having Bitcoins worth around $500 unknown to me that when this app is running, the device should be left alone to do its thing (imagine what the value of $500 Bitcoin then will worth now). I think the man who sold his APPLE shares for $800 wasn’t the only person who made a terrible mistake by not been able to see the future.
Well the past can’t be changed but we can learn from it. So I’ve learnt my lesson to always look into the future rather than looking for short term investment. There are various altcoins right now who has a promising future but is yet to be known or acknowledged by the masses. If there’ any means you know that we may be able to tap into this so as to prepare for the future, please we’ll like to know about it.
Rapist.
Rapists commit rape for various reasons, and a particular rapist may commit the crime for different reasons at different time. So, no theory can explain all sexual violence. However, some cultural factors appears to kind of contribute to rape.
Some of the common myths which contribute to date and marital rape:
*If a woman engages in kissing or petting, she is obligated to engage in sexual intercourse;
*A man prove his masculinity through having sex;
*Women speaks ironically if asked for sex. So a man shouldnt mind their disapproval;
All these are dangerous myths that can/may lead to sexual violence.
Gender roles of tradition prescribing women submission and men dominance are also connected to sexual abuse. In Australia, Germany, and Japan, rates of violent sexual crimes were connected to national levels of dominant masculinity. Research in various nations have suggested that strong gender roles and promotion of an ideology of male toughness are related to violence against women.
Some people beliefs justifying sexual violence more strongly than others. People who commit the crime tend to believe more strongly in myths about rape, and they are more likely to engage in fantasies about coercive sex.
BCH's future. Where from here?
Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is one of the biggest and most important forks of Bitcoin (BTC).
The crypto currency came into existence in mid 2017, just when the well known crypto bull run was underway. At the time, developers and miners were deliberating possible solutions that would help BTC solve its scalability issue. Bitcoin, for all its popularity, fame and value, has quite a few flaws. Its blockchain is very slow, and it can only handle a handful of transactions per block.
Developers and miners came up with two solutions making the needed data to be verified smaller/lower, and increasing the data per block. However, not everyone agreed with this, so a part of the community/organization split off and caused a hard fork that led to the creation of Bitcoin Cash.
BCH blocks are now capable of handling 8 MB of data, as opposed to Bitcoin's 1 MB, the amount of data thats needed to be verified for the new coin became smaller since it is based on the technology known as segregated witness, or SegWit2x.
As a result, BCH is a faster blockchain that can, in theory, handle more transactions, and do it quickly than its father Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Cash became an official crypto currency on July 24, 2017, and as at then, it was believed to be a better version of Bitcoin at least by some. It attracted much attention for its price to start growing rather quickly.
BCH PRICE VALUE WHEN IT WAS LAUNCHED
The price of the coin increased rapidly, reaching its all-time high by December 21, 2017. When the coin was launched, its price sat at $543. Less than halve a year later, it hit $3,556, right around the time when Bitcoin itself hit $20,000.
Those familiar with the crypto history likely know that the following year, 2018, was not kind to the industry. In the second half of January 2018, crypto prices started crashing down, which marked the beginning of a year and a half-long crypto winter.
The price of BCH followed this trend, although it did try to the best of its capability to resist it. The coin kept falling as day, weeks and months went by, and it eventually reached the height it had back when it was first launched.
Unfortunately, the crypto winter was far from the last problem that BCH experienced. The project was programmed to have a hard fork of its own by November 2018, where it would implement new upgrades. The initial Bitcoin Cash chain was supposed to be dropped, and the one that forked away from the original chain was supposed to become the new main chain.
But, similarly to how Bitcoin cash came to be when the community could not agree on what to do with BTC, BCH supporters also could not tell on how to proceed with the project. This led to the invention of BCH's new rival, Bitcoin SV (BSV), and a hash war that further knocked Bitcoin Cash value to a new low prince of around $80 per coin.
Since then, the BCH/USD price has seen remarkable recovery, though it never managed to reach its launch price, much less its all-time high.
The coin saw several upswings in 2019, and even in early 2020. However, BCH price remained stable between February and November, mostly rising and falling between $230 and $270, mostly going above or below these two levels, but usually staying between them.
At the moment, the BCH trend is not at all synonymous to the one dictated by BTC, which is interesting, considering fact that BCH did follow Bitcoin's lead in the past.
While BTC price has surged by many thousands of dollars in the past few months or so from $13,000 to $18,000 the BCH price remains mostly unchanged, apart from the mentioned small fluctuations.
BCH 2021 AND BEYOND PRICE PREDICTION
BCH's situation has caused many to become very interested in the BCH predictions for the next year, as well as all those that will follow.
When it comes to Bitcoin Cash next year(2021) predictions, there are some experts that are quite bullish. Roger Ver, for example, has previously said that BCH might see a 100% price increase over the following 12 months. If true, the coin would go above $500 by next November.
Of course, Ver gave this prediction before the latest hard fork happened, and since then, he said that hard forking like this could badly damage BCH. One issue with giving accurate Bitcoin Cash price predictions is that BCH is still somehow new with only three and halve years worth of data chart as compared to BTC that has 12 years worth of data chart.
Some BCH predictions are even more optimistic than what Ver expects, and these ones believe that BCH may rise above $700 by July 2021, and maybe reach this price again in September 2021 after a brief correction.
For the long-term BCH predictions for 2022 and beyond some believe that the BCH price will eventually fall to an average of $252 in the first month of 2022, with a potential to rise to $375 by the end of 2022. Long Forecast, on the other hand, expects BCH to drop to only $50 by the end of 2023, indicating a negative long-term Bitcoin Cash prediction.
I believe things will begin to get better from there, however, at least according to other forecasting sources. For example, BCH is said will hit $1,138 by December 2025, and then surge to $1,399 by 2026 as believed by DigitalCoinPrice.
IS BCH A GOOD INVESTMENT?
That depends on your investment plan for the coin. Going by the long-term predictions, the situation for BCH is going to become worse before becoming better. In other words, if you are looking at long term investment in the coin (like 5-6yrs), you could possibly invest now and get your profit by 2025/2026. However, predictions for 2022 are not very optimistic.
A world without technology
Have you for once ever sat down and have this thought “WHAT IF THERE WAS NO TECHNOLOGY?”
I was just chilling down at the balcony enjoying the beauty of the large yellow sun after work when the thought scale through my mind. I actually couldn’t fathom how or why my mind just has to throw that question to me when I was chilling so as to recuperate the energy lost during the day.
But come to think of it, if truly just as it scaled through my mind there were no technology in the present day world, what would have become of the it? I believe if we are to be giving the room to tell what you thought would have become if there were to be no technology*,(which you are given in the comment section below*) you would have tons to say. Below are some of the sectors which technology has played a crucial part.
HEALTH
Let’s take a look at the current unseen terrorist who has terrorized the world, COVID-19. Comparing it to other virus that once hit the world like the SPANISH FLU, and a host of others. We would believe that the advancement of technology was what saved the world. CHOLERA a disease that killed tons during its first outbreak due to the un-advanced technology is now the same disease that is seen as no threat to humanity anymore. I strongly believe if let’s say the corona virus outbreak happened in the 1900s, the fatalities recorded would be a lot greater than what we have today. If there were to be no technology, maybe there would have been no speculation of depopulation of the world as been the motive behind covid-19 as some people say since millions of people that were saved through tech wouldn’t have been added to the numbers.
TRANSPORT
I can’t help but wonder where our forefathers got their strength from. They walk hundreds of miles with loads. People travel from the present day Africa to the Middle East on foot! Spending hundreds of days on their way, some don’t make it back home and a host of other bad things that befalls them.
But through technology, the journey that takes hundred of days has been turn to journey of hours. Even animals like camels and donkeys I believe will be thankful to technology.
In this part, we can’t but give credit to THE WRIGHT BROTHERS, CARL BENZ, KARL VON DRAIS, JON FITCH and a host of others than wasn’t mentioned.
COMMUNICATION
How many of us had the opportunity to hear the stories of our grannies when they were courting with no internet, GSM, fax and others except for post office. Unlike nowadays when we can communicate with anyone, anywhere and anytime. It may take months for a father who wrote to his son in the U.K from Africa to hear from him.
Technology has also helped in saving of lives through communication. The people who were lucky to be rescued during the fall of the titanic, enjoyed the grace of communication I believe we all know of other examples. We cant help but say kudos to JOHN LOGIE BIARD, ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL, GUILIELMO MARCONI and those who I couldn’t mention.
Let me put my fingers to rest here for you to have your say. What do you think of the world or how do you view the world without technology?
First Proposal
Its just kind of funny how some ladies speaks in irony when being approached by guys. They tend to have this kind of response they give to a guy which actually makes it looks like they kind have an organization where they have hads an agreement on the kind of response they are to give to a guy when being approached for the individual for the first time. *“well just joking right there”.*
Based on my personal research with both parties, 85% of guys tend to kind of receive a negative response from a lady they proposed to, even though some of the ladies were the one giving out green lights as said by some guys. Not to make it a one sided research, I walked up to some ladies to know the response they gave to a guy who once approach them preferably their current boyfriends/fiancés. I couldn’t help but laugh at some responses I got from these ladies even though some confessed to love the guy even before he approached her.
Among all the responses I got, there’s one from a lady that got my attention and I quote ***“If I accept him the very first time he approaches me, it will make me look cheap to him. In other words he won’t value me”*****.** I know this will be the reason of so many even though they didn’t open up to me and this got me wonder why some if not all ladies thinks this way and this what my mind said might be the reason why.
It’s obvious, especially here in the western part of Africa which I’m very familiar with. Some guys are immature. They see ladies who truly love them as a whore and thinks that’s how she runs after other guys. They go about saying it among their peers how an easy catch she is and these hurts the feeling of the lady. No lady likes it when her feeling for a guy is being used to hurt her.
Another reason might be the kind of life this particular guy has lived or is living. How social he is. The kinds of words this kind of guy said to her first and this is where I think many ladies miss it ( more light will shed on that next time).
I really can’t tell all the reasons because that particular sentence of the lady carries a truck load of unearthed reasons which I really wished I could unearth.
Everyone needs someone!
Why are the people who enjoyed the grace of God to make it to the top from ground zero think that everyone else also should get there on their own?
I've come across this people who forgot that God puts them in a position in other to pull some people up.
We are different. God created man though equal but different. We have some categories of people who can never get to the top despite their God giving gifts except there is someone who looked down from the top and grab their hands. But it's a thing of great concern that people no longer want to help someone who they can't something in return from.
I am just thinking out loud, what if Christ said he's not going to die for our sins because we humans have nothing to offer him or he says we should get our salvation by our selves just like how some people say, what would have become of us by now?
I'm speaking based on my region now, for this virus that the motivational speakers has injected peoples with is now beginning to cause harm to the body of Christ. They go around feeding gullible people that they don't need anyone's help to make it in life, making the people that can help less concern about the people they have the capacity to help since they also attend this seminars.
Yes I believe that God is the one who can set someone at the top. But I say again, God won't come down to do that. He will give that assignment to man and if this man is not ready to do it. Now tell me why people won't leave the body of Christ to follow the opposite when they are ready to do what the people in the body of Christ are capable of doing but don't want to do.
