One Love

ONE LOVE

One song can melt the heart,
One voice makes a song.
One tree makes a forest,
One love can unite a nation.

One smile begins a conversation,
One flower can brighten the room
One candle brings light to a room,
One word can unite people.

One vote can bring a revolution,
One colour make a rainbow
One star can brighten the sky,
One laugh will bring happiness.

One leader, will unite the nation
One word will start a conversation.
One cry will start a war cry,
One hope will inspire the crowd.

One step will start a safari.
One soul is a unity,
One death is a lose,
one at a time ,the key to success!

WORRY NOT

WORRY NOT

You look so composed, how did you manage it
Or how cool are you
or how calm are you 

To try to carry other people’s burden is impossible
stressor are all over us, how do we manage them 

Issues will have an end soon

But, tackle issues, one at a time,

 Until you overcome them 

Worry now, but solve the issues calmly

FEAR-OUR ENEMY

FEAR-OUR ENEMY

Fear, you’ve had enough!                                                                                                                                                                             

     Yes, we want to evade          

Not the Reality but You.

    We’ve been your slave for long,

But now we want to be free like birds,

    To live, to dream and to fly towards success,

To see more of the good than the bad.

    Ready we are to face the challenges,

To sail through the roughs and toughs,

    With a yearning to reach our destinations.

Fear, Out you go from our hearts and minds;

     We are no longer afraid nor your companions

For we know, we know

     That God, our Messiah, is always there for us!

TO PLAY OR NOT TO PLAY

TO PLAY OR NOT TO PLAY

Most teenagers seek great amusement in playing video games, however this habit is causing rising concern amongst their parents. A majority of teenagers spending large portions of their time immersed into the virtual world of video games, where they fight villains and go on exciting missions. But when should we draw the line between innocent, fun and an alarming addiction?

Parent s believe that video games introduce teenagers to a world of violence, gore and explosions; a place completely unsuitable for them. Moreover the lack of physical activity and exercise amongst teenagers is also an issue for concern. Research has proven that the percentage of obese teenagers has risen at an alarming rate in the past decade. Video games discourage teenagers in participating in sports.

Teenagers have   become aloof and unsociable as a result of over indulgence in video games. They spend virtually all their time in this virtual endeavor.  Parents often complain that children would rather spend their time with their ‘digital friends’ rather than have a conversation with them.

However from a teenager point of view, video games are not the horrible monsters parents deem them to be . They are rather, an important part of growing up in today’s digital world. They believe that by playing Video games they will acquire the necessary computer skills much needed in securing job. They also believe that the skills will improve teenagers in tack, leadership, problem solving skills and critical thinking.

Further, video games create a platform whereby teenagers from across the globe can communicate with each other. In the world of video games, there is a place for everyone. Interactive games may actually help bring the family together.

In my view, video games, like everything else can be either good or bad depending on how one uses it. So as a teenager, take care!!!!!

MIND OF A CROOKED MIND

Wednesday, went well, apart from few issues brought about by mid terms exams.

I can not complain as I had prepared well for the Wednesday exams.

After the exams, I stayed in school until 5.00 pm. My best friend Tito had issues with a grade 7 boy. The argument was about, who was to be the likely winner of the English premier league. By the end of the argument no body seemed to convince the other. The grade 7 boy, was fronting for Arsenal as being the league winner, while my friend Tito was going with Chelsea.

My mind was still in wonderland, day dreaming. I had promised myself to clear the my mind log

soonest.

Guys, have few mental exercises which can help you to overcome negative thoughts.  I was taught by my teacher how to overcome this thought. As it benefited me, I guess I should share with you the same that you can also benefit from this exercise.

In the morning, the first thing after waking up, you need to go to the mirror and look at your image, start speaking to yourself. You need to motivate yourself. If this exercise is repeated over a duration of one month, I assure you, you will notice a transformed you. I am starting to appreciate myself and this is turning to be sometime positive in my life.

My crooked mind is directing me towards this beautiful girl. I call her zee. She is a quiet nice looking person. We do not share a class. She is one class behind me. She avoids me all the time; I guess she knows that I like her.

I lack the guts / courage to approach her. By the end  of today, I swear , I will have presented my cards ,I  hope I succeed.

Oh God things did not go as I expected.

At lunch hour, I send a word to zee that I would wish to talk to her.  My messenger was of course my best friend Tito. I had agreed to meet her at the school canteen at 4.00 pm. Sharp. I was early, by 3.30 pm I was already there; I waited for her until 4.45 pm. She never turned up. I don’t know if ever she received my message.

Over the weekend, am going to ask my friend Tito if he ever communicated my message. After 4.45 pm. I left the canteen area and went looking for her. I saw her playing basketball at the court. I gathered all my courage and went to where she was. Funny, she did not even look at me. It’s like nothing had happened. I wonder if she was ever told that I wanted to talk to her.

It’s after this, that I, dejectedly, went home to papa and mama.

What a promising day, that never was. I will fight another day, I comforted myself.

Talk later

ATTITUDE AND THINGS RELATED TO IT

ATTITUDE AND THINGS RELATED TO IT

Attitude is simply a settled way of thinking or feeling about someone or something, typically one that is reflected in a person’s behavior. Most people say ‘my attitude is based on how you treat me’; and according to me, that phrase really does make sense! If a person does not give you any value then you should not care of what they think of you and carry on with life. Why should you care for someone so much if they do not care about you?

Secondly, people should always take their studies seriously and studies should be first in their list of the ‘scale of preference’. Individuals should always have a POSITIVE attitude towards their studies and subjects. At no point in time should one feel that their attitude towards a subject is negative from the others.

Attitude is an expression of favour or disfavor towards a person, place, thing or event. It is an individual’s predisposed state of mind regarding a value and it is precipitated through a responsive expression towards mostly a person, which in turn influence an individual’s thought and action.

Attitude and emotion work hand in hand with each other. Emotion is an affective state of consciousness in which joy, sorrow, fear, hate, or love is experienced, as   distinguished from cognitive and volitional states of consciousness.

A person’s attitude at times may depend on their mood or circumstance. You might not know what the person is going through in this kind of state; nor what they are thinking of. But if your bond with them is strong enough this might change something. “ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING! Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% of how you REACT to it “

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

If you believe in yourself, know that you are on the right path; if you do not believe in yourself start believing in yourself; Believing in yourself will help you achieve a lot in life.

If you can imagine it , you can achieve it, if you can dream it , you  can do it;  that is possible only if you believe in yourself. Let me give you a quote.

“A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking because her trust is not on the branch but on its own wings why?.... Because it believes in itself.”

Choose self esteem not self pity, choose to listen to your inner voice, not the random opinion of others; make decisions based on what you want, not on what others do.

If you believe in yourself you form positive attitude required to succeed in life and you let the negative thoughts fade away,  trust me you,  can do anything in this world if you believe in yourself .

Lesson 1

Lesson learnt

A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.”

“Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?” replied the bull. They’re packed with nutrients.”

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree - he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Moral of the story

Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there

Decision making

As a teenager , i some time  want to be heard by the adults. Yes the grown ups around me , are  all knows, but , before , giving me directives, they would rather listen to me. 

I do have my views, which , i know , can add into something, to the adults ........ directives.

We teenagers are not always wrong , we do not want to harm ourselves, we love ourselves, hence, given a chance , we can do pretty well , So give me a chance adults.

MIND OF A CROOKED TEENAGER

Hi, it has been  few days,since , i chatted with you guys. i have been missing in action. Did i miss anything ?.

My life, so far has been very interesting these few days. I met some one , who made my life  a bit interesting. She is OK, but i will not talk so much about her until am quite sure she means something to me.

Last Friday , i overstretched my body while running for my house. I almost blacked out, , but anyway am a strong guy , i survived. I really enjoyed myself, guess i will take to running as a sport .

Crazy me, my mind sometime , overthinks, am on an overdrive thought...... but most of the thinking is so negative. Imagine , thinking about death, committing suicide, running away from, dating so many girlfriends etc, These negative thoughts overwhelms me, WHAT DO I DO GUYS...............

CALM IF YOU MUST, BUT DON'T GIVE UP.

CALM IF YOU MUST, BUT DON'T GIVE UP.

On dark days , oh God, I need some inspiration
When things are too hard to handle,
When the will is not there any more,
And you want to laugh, but you have to cry,
Calm if you must, but don't give up.

Life is a long turbulent journey that you must travel,
It starts easy but ,later in life it becomes very difficult
You fall but you must raise up and keep moving
Never give up , even if it hurts so much.
Calm if you must, but don't give up.

Will I ever reach my destination oh God ?
The distance seems to be so far away
Do I give up or I continue struggling
The victory is not very far, I pray
Calm if you must, but don't give up.

Success is here I can smell it
the sweet victory is a joy to me
Everybody is happy and celebrating with me
Never give up as the fruits of success is sweet
Calm if you must, but don't give up.

AN UNEXPECTED ORDEAL

AN UNEXPECTED ORDEAL

‘Watch your back’ your skin colour is enough for you to enrage them’ the shopkeeper advised me. I was petrified by his statement. Is this why my wife was killed? I had so many lingering questions running through my mind. I had to think quickly if I was to stay out of trouble.

As I padded away, little did I notice that the darkness of the night had dawn down its shady covers on the last of the fading light? Though only for a while did I feel at peace as the rusting of leaves being blown away on the empty streets added to the already peaceful environment. The odd breeze passed through bringing me out of trance. It was only then that I realized I had walked a long way alone and probably by passed the motel.

When this reality downed upon me I become panic stricken. My fingers become numb and my feet were cold. Was I lost in the big city? I mean, I had barely spent 48 hours here. This was too much to handle.

In a split of a second, the sirens and alarms of police cars could be heart from a distance. ‘What to do? I wondered, panic engulfed every single membrane within me as drips of sweat cascaded profusely my ruddy visage. As if bottled to the grand   my mobility was crippled, my mind rendered useless as I was not able to implement any thought that came through.

In the process of regaining  myself , I was  needless to say i was  surrounded by the police , I had lost all hope as there  was nowhere  to go,
