“They couldn’t even say thank you after all I. I regret doing every bit of what I did for them” those are the word of a man that had let the worry of ingratitude takes a large chunk of his life A quarter of us indulge ourselves in the orgy of self-pity of ingratitude. We worry about those children we raised that we thought were not appreciative enough, we worry about worker that were not thankful enough,  we worry about those whose live we’ve saved an couldn’t bother to atop an say ’thank you’ The first thin to note here is:  If we really want tackle ingratitude I that we should learn that IT IS PART OF THE HUMAN NATURE - IT IS HUMANE A story was told of a woman that raised 6 of her nephews when they were small; she housed them, nursed them through the measles, fed them and got them educated. Did they come back for her? Yes of course but they feared these visits because she thought they were not appreciative enough. They knew that by visiting her, they would be subjected...

Some pains will bring the beast out of you If you've been fake, some pains 'll outrightly make you live true Some pains make our lives true through what we're going through And some pains serve as a cue To help us checkmate life's puzzle too.

. Few years ago, I had no thoughts of writing and when I did I only wanted to write about not giving up, reach out to as many people as I can and put a full stop to it. I can remember that evening I asked a friend and mentor: Me:Can I write? Him:Do you think you can? Me:I don't know and that's why I am asking Him:Believe you can and you will. For so many days I sat down in my room wondering if I really could do that, I was figuring it out! Few months ago, I knew I just wanted to write, it has become a passion, I have figured that part out(Thanks to God). Today I am writing, though still growing but I am writing and will keep getting better because it gives me a sense of fulfillment. Though I was able to figure out writing but there are a lot I am yet to figure out. John C Maxwell is a 'Wow' writer but he his still figuring it out The point is, we are all figuring something out, the question is what are you figuring out? You are so lost, ...

FAILURE IS A PROCESS The wise man said and I grabbed; "If you fail to plan, you're planning to fail", meanwhile there are a lot of "Master Planners" who have failed even after planning, therefore I say - even if you don't fail to plan, if your plans are faulty, you're planning to fail. Let's take a tour to the United State of NOT America but Wikipedia, we have failure defined as the state, that condition of not meeting a desirable, targeted, intended, aimed or set goals. Bunch of English words you said? Let's go further.  I have been about this topic, I must confess it is not as easy as I thought earlier. Well, from what we got in Wiki's nation above, failure is said to be when you don't (when you have FAILED to) meet up with a desirable objective  and I agree with the used words along the definition. Coined from my previous article - "Figuring It Out", I said "Success is not a destination, success is a journey"...

We are all humans and have all, in one point or the other in our lives, encountered criticism from people; constructive or destructive. When this happens, we tend to have our emotions tampered with and this may affect our day to day activities. Here is a list of what to do whenever criticism comes knocking at the door: ·          Learn To Stop Criticism From Hurting You: Major General Smedly Butler, one of the most decorated generals of the United States Marines, said “I have been berated and insulted and denounced as a yellow dog, a snake and a skunk. I have been cursed by the experts. I have been called every possible combination of unprintable cuss words in the English Language. Bother me? Huh! When I hear somebody cussing me now, I never turned my head to see who is talking” We should all know that people are not thinking about me and you or caring about what is said about us. They are thinking about themselves. They w...

1. Focusing On Things Outside of Your Control It’s one week until you’re final exam or test, you haven’t even looked at the material that’s covered yet.  Oh god, stress overload.   Why oh why didn’t I start studying earlier, damn those Netflix marathons! That’s exactly what you DON’T want to do. Instead you need to FOCUS on what you CAN DO and take back responsibility and control over the situation. You still got a week left to work with - use that week as best you can to study and stop freaking out over things that are in the past because it doesn’t help you! 2. Approaching Study as a Chore There’s a BIG difference between HAVING or WANTING to do something. Do you  have  to study? The truth of the matter is, no, you don’t  have  to do shit. You WANT to study. No one is forcing you to study and even if they try, you ultimately have the choice as to whether you will study or not. When you approach studying as something you WANT to do it’s a ver...

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are in a plane crash. Who survives?  America. If I had a penny for every Trump joke being made right now,  I’d have a  small loan of a million dollars .           Donald Trump may be the next President but the big winner is Melania Trump.  Now she can call herself the First Lady instead of the Third Wife. A young immigrant boy tells Mr. Trump he wants to be President when he grows up. “Are you stupid?” exclaimed Trump, “are you an idiot? Out of our mind? Are you retarded?” The kid calmly replied, “you know what, never mind, those are too many requirements.”           How is Donald Trump going to fulfil his promise to shut down the Department of Education?  By renaming it Trump University . What do you call a movie about Donald Trump, Bernie Madoff, Charles Ponzi, and Kenneth Lay?  The League of Extraordinary Con Men . A swastika has been spray painted over Donal...
