WHEN TO SAY WHAT

Everybody has something they want/don’t want to hear in every different situation. There are words meant for particular purposes and situations, and not every word can be said at a particular time. It is a true statement of fact that love and care cannot be perfected without words, but it’s far better to keep quiet than to speak inappropriate words to a person in a condition. Without much ado, we’ll take some examples to start with. ***What do you say to a person who has just lost something valuable/precious? *Don't dare say... -"It just wasn't meant to be." It's easy to be philosophical when it's not happening to you. -"Are you going to try again?" When someone's grieving over a loss, he/she doesn't really want to think about another just yet. -"At least you know you can get another!" Right, but he/she also knows they can lose it again. Not something they want to be reminded of. *Do say... -"I'm so sorry to

MegaNet Madness!

The bellow was a mail carefully escorted with an SMS I got in the early hours of the starting day of a pleasant working week. Like many hoping to land that dream job, get a change of appointment, I hurriedly moved to my mail box to retrieve the mail, only to meet the most scandalous email I've received in years.

FEAR FACTOR

No one thing inflates itself as much as fear does. No one thing prides itself bigger than it originally is, as much as fear does. Man requires 3-folds more of courage than strength to get past his fears, as appearance and size remain the two viable and most significant fear factors yet existing. Many atimes, what would make a man/animal not to confront its fear/threat lies in its size and/or intimidating appearance. Overcoming our fears is not a matter of strength as it is thought to be (All forms of fear well considered). Overcoming a confrontation of fear requires more of courage than strength. "The potency of venom doesn't often commensurate the size of the producing animal, don't let 'appearance' fool you." Fear comes in sizes and the bigger the better. Oooops!, I know you'll say; the bigger, the more fearsome they appear, but its actually as put earlier, as fear merely inflates itself. More of fear is in its size or estimation of size. Only me

Scapegoat or Solution?

“For every action, there is a cause”. Nothing just happens, everything that happened, did because someone or something made them be. There’s always something/ someone to blame it on. In the sequence of problem resolution, there’s this vital part that determines the speed of conflict resolution. Problem ------- Blaming --------Solution. When a problem occurs, the next thing on our minds should be finding a solution, this originally should be the situation. But on the contrary, something crept in, and has now become a culture, a part of us, beclouding our right senses of conflict resolution. It has become a norm for us to BLAME and trade blames. Most saddening, we spend the most productive energy which ought to be channelled into problem solving into blaming. (Scape-Goat hunting). There’s a problem in the way we view; Diagnosis, Probing, Identifying a problem, and Blaming. It is a good thing no doubt, to identify at all times, the cause of a problem, so as to prevent a repeat. But

What???

......*thoughts..........*Sarcasm..........*Sigh...... What did we say to the deaf to provoke him? What did the dumb say to us to be hurting? What did we flash before the blind to infuriate him? What did we take from the lame that he pursues us? ....And, What did we do to the sheep that it bit us? The answer is why this place is called,LIFE! and we,MEN! . . . The sequence, I know surprises you. How can the deaf hear, the dumb speak, the blind see, or the lame walk much less pursue??? I know you're pondering. Even if they truly or really did, what on earth could have warranted such actions that turned the impossible possible? I know by now you're thinking. The sentence "The answer is why this place is called, LIFE! and we MEN!" I know by now you're considering seriously, in a bid to comprehend what it is that makes Life and Men what/who they are. Its an endless journey I tell you, but if you must embark on it, prepare your mind for a lifelong affai

Laziness

"You have to want to do it to do it, only then do energy drinks work; A lazy being will drink the factory and yet return no results. ...Laziness isn't lack of energy (infact you need some to be lazy); If it were, energy supplements should be breakfast, Lunch and Dinner for many by now". #WillPower #InterestFirst Writing you a short piece this time around isn't laziness, just a proof there's as much power in few words as lengthier ones.
