THERE IS “A LOT” ABOUT LIFE
You may be familiar with the phrase “I’ve been through a lot,” and perhaps you have used it one time or the other to define the challenge you had passed or are passing through. Whether one is having a great time or going through difficult times, there is still that lot that you are getting through or have gone through. It seems “a lot” never ends and there won’t be a better phrase to describe life’s challenges however good or bad. One will have to go through a lot whether he is going up or down the society cadre. This lot may be the stri…
LET’S SWEEP OUR WORLD OF CHALLENGES
In sub-Saharan African where brooms are still part of everyday life, it is common place to find brooms being used as cleaning facilities. It’s such a common tool that one would hardly find its absence in an African home. The broom though is more than a cleaning facility, it is a life teacher. Life is filled with challenges which come voluntarily or involuntarily into a person’s life. The greatest joy any man would like to have is to live a life free from challenges. Consider these challenges as dirt. Dirt finds itself into an area uncons…
HOW ABOUT BUILDING YOUR BUILDING?
When I was little, I had often marveled at the high risings that dotted my city’s landscape. I was opportune to climb to the top of a fifteen storey building once along with my schoolmates. It was tiring since we made use of the stairs. That time, we wondered at how those high rise buildings were built and day dreamed of someday owning such buildings. As I grew and got involved with developing buildings, I understood the many intricacies that characterized getting a building of any nature on the ground. Looking through life as a grown man,…
LET’S HIT THE AIRWAVES
Thank God for technological advancement. If you are born in this age, understanding the difference between then (the days of our ancestors) and now could be so great a challenge. That time, you had no right to your own entertainment except you were king and news was carried by one ragged man who was second to the king only in attracting attention. If you missed the news, you either had to go ask your neighbor or wait for the gossips that followed the news. You dare not miss festivals, else you missed a chance too few to listen to good musi…
YOU NEED YOUR DOSE OF LAUGHTER
The average everyday life is characterized by its series of troubles. Life is absolutely complicated and one may not comprehend the reasons why such complications occur. This complication leaves us in sadness querying why unpremeditated actions should take place in the face of harrowing life experiences. We want to laugh so long through life even in the face of its challenges. It seems a big huddle though because of the seemingly uphill difference that characterizes the challenging life and a laughing smiling life. There always seems tha…
LETTING GO MAY JUST BE ALL YOU NEED
Listening to the lyrics that comes through the speakers of my hi-fi system could be tough especially with the kind of songs that pour from them. In spite of this, I listened to one brother who managed to help me with some message, “just let go.” Over the few years I have lived on earth, my human nature has being at loggerheads with the materialistic desires that characterizes earth. The desire to have and hold on to everything the world offers has being so strong that I had struggled to let go some things sometimes. In the face of this…
YOUR CHANGE MAY JUST BE A SECONDS AWAY!
Life’s dark phases sometimes appear so long, that it seems an impossibility that great times will arrive. The anticipation that characterizes the waiting period may be huge but this often fails to guarantee the kind of life that the common hustling man on the street wants to have. The assurance of a better future for some is only generations away that the picture they very much desire to live in is a far cry from reality. In the face of this myopic viewed belief is one truth; that it only takes a second for change to happen. A graduate f…
