Everyone Is Born Great!

 

Everyone Is Born Great!

So many people often think that some people are born great while others are not, some others also believe that once you are born into a privileged family (like a royal family)  that are bound to be great.

That’s not true!

Some others, especially the youths think that imitating someone who is already successful, maybe the way the walk, talk or dress that it will in a way make you become successful.

That’s not true either

There are certain things that every great man or successful man or woman who has ever lived possess and they are;

Uniqueness

Discipline

Sense of direction

I Am Me

 

I Am Me

When I was little, we were asked what we wanted to be when we grow up

And while my friends were busy shouting, Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer, I said “I want to be a business tycoon when I grow up”

My teacher looked at me disappointed for giving such a horrible answer

This made me feel as though I had announced of having cancer

I lowered my head in shame, to avoid the pitiful glares of my fellow classmate

But then my best friend said to me in game “you are insane in a good way mate”

He said “do not let them decide the future for you”

“Rather, make them see good being unique is for your”

I lifted up my head from where I had hidden my face in shame

And swore that no man would make me feel this shame again.

I am me!

Year 2016

I had hoped to post this stuff earlier but then I live in a developing country where many factors can hinder your plans, but nevertheless i still get to post it.

First of all I want to say a little thing about this stuff called “New Year Resolution”.

New Year Resolutions

They are promises people make to themselves mostly at the turn of the year which they intend to keep till the year runs out, at least that’s the idea.

Reasons why it often fails

The main reason why this promises or guidelines are often broken includes;

The Thrills of High School Reunions

Many at times in life, we start to miss the people with whom we have shared the better part of lives.

We tend to miss the same people whom we used to detest when we were with them,We miss the guys whom we fought with when we were in high school,We start to miss the same girl who used to rat us out to our form mistress for noise making or for disturbing her.We tend to miss the same guy who snatched our high school heartthrob from you.We begin miss the same girl who insulted us in front of your peers just because you wanted to date her.

Sufferings of a Nigerian Student

Students taking lectures sitting on the floor

I wanted to write about the African student but I decided to write this one first since “charity they say begins at home”.

Being a student in Nigeria is the most herculean task I know.

You first start from the kindergarten, then spend three years in the nursery school, then six years in both primary and secondary schools, then another four, five or six years in the university, depending on your course and of course you can leave out the years when the teachers would go on strike due to one issue or the other with the government.

That’s a complete total of at least twenty years if you didn’t repeat any class along the line.
