Impacting Positively

Hello readers, I am sorry for the break in transmission but hey! I am back. Today  I will be focusing  on what friendships can do to a person either positively or negatively. Okay, as usual, this will be short.   Who is a friend? The bible book of proverbs says (not that I am  trying to get all religious though) that a friend is someone sticking closer than a brother. A  friend is any  person who keeps company and shares  some moments of your life with  you(my definition).   Undeniably, friends form an important part of your life whether you agree or not. They influence your life for good or bad ,directly or indirectly. Just like an absorbent material, people pick up habits from their surroundings before they are even aware of it! This is why picking a friend should  be done with caution.  To  illustrate,  when you are friends with people who do good, you are motivated to do likewise but when friends do bad things, if ...

One week gone since the last post and I have missed sharing my thoughts with the world. Today, I share with you one of my poems written sometime not too long ago. The basic message here is finding satisfaction in all circumstances, favourable or not. Suggestions, compliments and criticism welcomed. Enjoy!       WHY GRUMBLE YE? Friend, why grumble ye? Over saltless stew and meatless soup Over torn shoes and raggedy clothes When many be who hungry for days and cope Cold and beaten by the rain without coats Tell me, why grumble ye? Over overly strict parents around Over old ugly poor sized shoes When in streets starving orphans abound And war victims without feets to wear shoes Neighbour, why grumble ye? Over troubling rays of the sun Over noise of new borns and rainstorm A blind exist who'd give anything to see the sun And a deaf anything to hear the cry of his newborn Why grumble ye? When...

The illiterates of the 21st century will not be those who can not read or write but those who can not learn, unlearn or relearn- Alvin Toffler   Alvin Toffler in this quote uses the word 'illiterate' to qualify any person unable to learn to do new things, to learn to drop bad habits or one who can not learn to do something in a better way. In saying this, he does not try to change the original meaning of the word 'illiterate' but rather, he underscores the need to have the aforementioned abilities.   So , this week dear readers, I encourage you to improve your learning skills, flush away your bad habits although it is not a day's job but requires constant hardwork. Finally, check areas where you are currently lacking. It could be in your education, job or home. Learn to relearn to do things that you currently have difficulty doing well.   Compliments and criticism welcomed. Do have a nice week ahead!
