Sept 1st & 2nd

“What an old man can see while seated, a young boy can’t see while standing on the tallest hill.” My father kept on iterating this Meru proverb from time to time in his lifetime. Wisdom comes with experience, failure with every attempt of chasing that goal until eventually you learn ways of finally achieving success. The odds may seem stacked against each and every single one of us, and most times they are. Where most give up, the few are kept by the allure that success is just one failure away. Mile by mile, inch by inch, people fight tooth and nail with the hope that breaking certain accolades will bring some fulfillment to them.   Do you believe in fate and destiny? Faith that something is destined to happen and belief that, despite the uncertain chronological order of events, the outcome might be something unearthly, more pleasant and rewarding. Murphy’s Law states that “If it can happen, it will happen.” This phrase puts emphasis on living your life and enjoying each m...

LIFE IN A YEAR: ADVENTURE,STRUGGLE AND PLEASURE!

Image
  What is life? Everyone has their definition of what life is. But despite everyone having different opinions on the definition of what it is, it’s well evident that life is short but filled with a plethora of experiences that make it worth living. The concept of life in a year encompasses a wide array of possibilities for personal growth and development. Every year starts with different goals. As individuals, we strive for our personal goals each year going strong. From making quarterly accolades we need to attain every year, this is what keeps the fumes in the engine we call our lives running. As living mundane beings, we all pursue a happy life, a good life. Through thick and thin, despite all the struggles that life throws on each person’s footpath, we all work towards something and that is our success- us achieving it. “Write it in your heart that every day is the best day in the year” – Ralph Waldo Emerson A lot can change in a year. You can go from becoming a broke tee...

Is success a journey or a destination?

Image
  IS SUCCESS A JOURNEY OR A DESTINATION? What is success?   Success is state or condition of meeting a defined range of expectations. It is also often viewed as the opposite of failure. The criteria of meeting expectations depend on context and may be relative to a particular person or belief system. “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” – Lao Tzu. Success much like everything else in life has a process and a beginning. Joy is found in starting something. By taking the first step into the right direction, one is able to unlock potential which they have not tapped into before and test the limits to it. Curiosity is the sole core of all mundane beings and it is with such that propels us to discover the wonders of life exploiting each adventure to the fullest extent. If you never start something, you will never get to finish it unless you continue persisting and you eventually get it right! Consistency is the key to success. Such is life with various tea...

LIFE'S CHANGING

Image
  LIFE’S CHANGING   We are growing older ‘real-fast’. Times are changing. We all know that change is inevitable and that nothing lasts forever. Everything eventually has to morph into something else, something greater. Back then, when we used to be kids, life was so simple. Happiness was not a currency. All that mattered was going out to play games with your friends and watching the clock run down as you waited for your favorite show to commence. Happiness reign free in the air and the atmosphere was just pure bliss (Immaculate). Each day had its own highlights (Moments of boisterous activity). Growth is essential. No matter how much we try to avoid the changes we face in our daily lives, we have to cope with them. Coping/adjusting to these changes is the definition of growth.   For us to evolve to the next big thing- at least experience a motion in our lives, something that is exciting (brings eccentric vibes), we have to experience change which adversely leads...

WORKOUTS: AN ASSURANCE TO HEALTHY LIVING

Image
  WORKOUTS: AN ASSURANCE TO HEALTHY LIVING Working out is a form of art done for leisure and as a lifestyle for the improvement of the body; both physical and from a mental standpoint. Most people mistake healthy living in thought that it is only the food that a person digests. The poll on healthy living brought about the existence of vegans who take meat as an atrocity and may never devour it. Healthy living involves all sorts of things like what you feed on, the type of exercise you do daily and the amount of hours you sleep. The essence of working out is to boost the adaptability of the body to its environment and make it more mobile. Different sorts of foodstuffs have different uses in the body. Proteins are body-building foods; they are essential for maintenance and building of body tissues and muscle. Carbohydrates are energy-giving food; provide and store energy. Vitamins are protective foods in the body and have various uses in the body. Working out hardens the ...

ROADTRIPS: A SAFEHAVEN TO SELF-DISCOVERY

Image
  ROADTRIPS: A SAFEHAVEN TO SELF-DISCOVERY It is holiday season and what most families don’t consider is that this is a period to reflect on what has occurred throughout the year. What milestones have you surpassed? More so what have you achieved? This is the time we have been given to plan on what’s going to happen the following year. From road to road, highway to single-lane roads, many conversations sparkle between parents and their kids. This is the running hour-glass to which we are handed by the earth’s system to spend time with our beloved ones and enlighten them on matters of importance. There is more to life than education; intelligence in academic understanding and that according to life in perspective. Road-trip conversations are meant to instill some of the knowledge we possess from both generations; young and wild with the old and quite noble. This enlightenment solely enables us as young people to get life skills to guide our peers as we grow into the next big t...

Talent: The way of life 2019

SPORTS ARTICLE SEPT 2019   TALENT : THE WAY OF LIFE We are all born with different gifts when we come into this world. With grandeur and without hostility, we share our gifts with the world, inspiring confidence in the hearts of many. Legends in history books have broken records and transformed themselves into franchises. We have learnt from them that we should never fear to showcase our talents to the world if at all we desire appreciation and glory from it. From time immemorial, we have seen sportsmen and women rise to the occasion when everything is at stake. An example is Giannis Antentokoumpo, a basketball player who plays for the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA. His greatness does not require a microscope to be observed. He is the epicenter of his team’s spirit and their gameplay is based on his movement. He is a pillar of hope to the team because he plays every game with vigour and undying patience. He is truly a legend in the making. The bigger they are, the harder th...
