DON'T CHASE WHAT YOU CAN'T KEEP



Yes, it's very true one never gets another chance to make a first impression but people forget that first impression is not the last chance to make a good impression. 

This is the story of a classmate in Secondary School who set his eyes on a pretty lady and wanted to win her love at all cost. From the look of things, this lady was from the city and a well to do family, whilst this mate was from the village and a poor farmers only hope. My mate was advised that in order to get the ladys affection and attention, he must take her out to an expensive restaurant and also get her some few gifts. I advised him to let go or just be a friend and allow the lady to like him for who he was, but this fell on deaf ears.

Before I knew it, my friend had spent half of his academic fees on the lady in question. Portraying to the lady he was also from well to do family. Well he did win her love but maintaining the relationship on an empty pocket became a nightmare for him. He couldn't meet the lady's demands, and he was dismissed from school for non-payment of bills. Eventually the lady and everyone in school got to know the truth.
Although the lady liked him; the lies and pretense turned the like into hatred. While living here on earth, it is very important you spend your life with the people who make you happy, not with those you have to impress. This is one lesson which has changed my friend, a lesson which changed his destiny. He has become a successful farmer and entrepreneur now. Sometimes, the strongest and most bitter drug needed to change us for the better is another human being. And when things go bad, you don't need to use that as an excuse, rather make improvements.


 The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are. Don't forget, to accomplish anything in life you need peace of mind. If the mistake you made has turned you into the talk of town, its necessary you lose your connection with people, places or things that created all the noise surrounding you. Go on and dont be ashamed of your story, it will inspire others one day if you don't quit. Always remember there is no reset button in life. You can't take anything back, and you can't undo anything.
All of your actions have consequences, and the things you say and do today will have a lasting impact on the rest of your life. You have to understand that and be careful in your decision making.
In conclusion "But Samuel replied, What is more pleasing to the Lord: your burnt offerings and sacrifices or your obedience to his voice? Listen! Obedience is better than sacrifice, and submission is better than offering the fat of rams" - 1 Samuel 15:22 (NLT).

The Rise and Fall of AfroBeat

L Like any music genre, is influenced by a multitude of factors including cultural shifts, socio-political dynamics, and changes in artistic trends. Afrobeat, a genre that originated in West Africa in the late 1960s and was popularized by Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, experienced significant growth and international recognition during its peak in the 1970s and 1980s. During this time, Fela Kuti's revolutionary lyrics, infectious rhythms, and fusion of traditional African music with jazz, funk, and highlife elements resonated with audiences around the world. Afrobeat became not only a genre of music but also a symbol of resistance against oppression and a platform for social and political commentary. However, Afrobeat's popularity waned in the following decades due to various factors. One significant factor was Fela Kuti's death in 1997, which marked the end of an era and led to a decline in mainstream attention towards Afrobeat. Additionally, the rise of other music genres a...

A WISE MAN ONCE SAID

1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to; 2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person that borrowed you remember or ask for it. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes. 3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner. 4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem; 5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public; 6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time; 7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what's 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you....

TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND ENEMIES

1. Once upon a time I met a man who told me that telling the truth and making someone cry, is better than telling a lie and making someone smile and happy. 2. He said to me your true friends are those who will never avoid you just because they have met new friends. 3. As he kept on speaking to me, he said If some people do not appreciate and value my presence, I should work hard to make them value and appreciate my absence. 4. He said I must not be angry with anyone who is quiet on me because there must be a reason why they are quiet, and that I will get to know the reason later. 5. He told me it is always better to be a blessing to others at all times than to be a burden at all times. 6. He said I must learn to forgive others not because they deserve it but because I deserve the peace that comes with forgiveness. 7. I must know that everyone deserves a second chance and many more chances if they ask for forgiveness, but I must not loose my guard over their intentions....
