It would seem that more than we know it, social media has taken the front seat, handled the steering, and is pushing our lives in the direction it wants. The worst part is that social media is in the hands of those who's major concern is profit. Thus, they pick the stories about death, about killings, all wrongs that exists and feed them to us because they know that the human mind craves for such. What they don't know (I'd like to think like that, excuse them for this) is that such negativity is adversely affecting the people's way of life. Cultures are evolving and with the increase in knowledge and information, crueler people are emerging. Instead of thinking of ways to better the status quo, they device machineries that are mirror images of diabolism. I cringe when I imagine that killings now seem so normal. Just this evening, someone popular was killed. Two shots to the head. People gathered. From his surname, I think I might know someone in the family because we st...

There has always been that norm to look down on someone, on their life's works simply because they made a mistake years down the road. That's not the way it works. You don't throw the child away with the bath water. Sometimes, we just need to take the lesson and not judge it by the life of the one who it's coming from. That way we can keep appreciating them for their works and it's impact on our lives.  The originator of a work isn't always as important as the work itself. Some of the worst politicians have given us the best moments, policies, and infrastructure. Some of the not so likeable personalities have given us the greatest written works which we will continue to enjoy. Isaac Newton dabbled into alchemy, yet we cannot say because of that his second law of motion isn't accurate. That would be a fallacy.  In the holy book of Christians, a prophet was made to marry an harlot because the creator wanted to use his life as a lesson to the people of Israel. ...

  There's no power in a forgotten story. Sometimes, I find that having to relay the story to myself and to others keep the story fresh. Also, it provides room for a better understanding. Now, you get to poke at the story, like a lab rat, from every direction. This is the way to obtain a complete understanding. Christmas never gets old because we keep poking at this story in every direction. We use the lens of our conscience to determine if our lives have been affected by this great story in any way. And what if we can be affected in more ways than one?  "Repetition is the law of deep and lasting impression" We learn new ways to live, to act, to care. And if you stare long enough, you can feel some of the story rubbing off on you, modifying your personality and in some rare cases, giving you a new lease of life, a reason to keep striving, to keep going.  Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year in advance. 

 You might not believe it but it's the truth. The one I call my Mentor is currently grossing close to  $10000 every single month. That is like the height of it. My word! If I could get even a quarter of that every month, I'm good to go at the moment. And I like the way he said it's completely achievable. He said to just give myself to working hard and do prayers. He said to take like a day out of every week to fast for the books. And so I did some content writing projects today. I was able to write 10 articles within 2 hours. That's roughly 12 minutes for every article. My fingers were just flowing and I didn't really have to think before pouring out the words. I've been thinking about pushing out as many books as I can. The issue I've had has to do with the introductions to the books. And so my other mentor told me that the books need not have an introduction although it could be a plus if have a good story to go with it.  I went to study the Legend's c...

 It's past 11pm.  I had a pretty uneventful day. I was stuck indoors throughout but was in no mood to write. I feel like I'm the one holding back my own progress because I refuse to take risks. I know writing these articles are bringing in some peanuts. However, this cannot be what I want to build on, for the life of me!  And the funny thing is I've told this client I want to take some time off. Yet, he keeps bringing more work. He's helped me a great deal and I just don't want to disappoint him. However, it cannot continue like this. He brought another set of articles today and I believe that's what made me lose my momentum. I need to find a solution to this niggling issue.  I saw another guy's account for the month of November. $1780+ amassed. Almost a million. Can you imagine what yours truly would have done with such money?  It's well.  I haven't said this in a long time, but I'm still made of more. I'm made of so much more.  Today, I fel...

 [size=10pt][i]I was just going through an entry that someone liked today. It's amazing seeing the different ideas that fills one's head daily. So, I got A phone (I forgot to tell you about it because there's seriously nothing too special about it). I'm thinking I should have been more patient but my dreams no go let me. I got a camon 15. It's got good battery, manageable ram, but it's transsion and I so wanted to leak Chinese phones. Note to self: Remember not to go with someone else when next you want to buy a phone. Store owners will want you to buy theirs and will badmouth other products. Anyway, I haven't seen anything to make me hate this one yet. However, I will get Redmi as soon as I can. Light just came back. If there is one reason why I like this place, it would be that when light comes, it stays for a while. I had gone out to buy fuel and some beans balls when light came. I would have held on to my belief that the light would come later. Not like ...

 I was on the road for most of the day. I left the house by 8am. The bus didn't get filled on time. So, I had to wait until about past 11am. The journey was fast but dull.  I chewed gums almost the whole day. I was awake for most of the journey. However, just the few minutes I shut my eyes proved crucial as I missed the turn I was supposed to come down and had to pay another fare (10% of original fare) to return.  I will leave my parent's early tomorrow. I have article works to take care of. I'm barely 20% done.  It's 11:08 pm now. I need to wake up by 6:00am. There's so much to do, I don't even know if I should try to stay awake.  My mouth hurts from the places I bit my tongue while chewing the gum. I discovered chewing gums helps one stay awake. I wonder if I can begin using it. Are there other ways to stay awake at night? Maybe I should Google it immediately I finish this update.  In other news, I've finished the book I've been working on for almost t...
