Fantastically corrupt.

I got this cartoon from LinkedIn. These words are so true,  we have created generations of corrupt practices, we have lost our emotional compasses, we do not know the difference of right or wrong, we do everything to survive. What scares me the most is this is not the kind of life and society I want my  daughters to  live in. I remember a story that happened to Inikpi, there is a neighborhood bakery across the road, so we decided to have a loaf of hot bread, So Inikpi decides to cross the road and requests me to wait for her,  I stand waiting by the gate, I realise that she is taking too long, I quickly cross the road and I see Inikpi looking puzzled, Inikpi whispers to me " mum, my change is incomplete " I walk up to the lady selling the bread, I try to ask politely " madam, the change is not complete" I fix my best smile, she snaps back, "can the girl not talk?, she did not explain"  I was so angry, is it that she wanted to short change the girl?, or she wanted my kid to fight for her change ?  I asked the woman, "do you want her to insult you before you get her change correct?. " do I need to teach my daughter to be rude in order to survive in such a caustic society.

We need to renew our philosophy as a nation.

I have decided to teach my kids good morals, I know God will guide them to a nice place to live.

My heart aches.

Life is worth living happy.

Who cares?

Live your dream Being Successful is relative; relative is a word that strikes my mind because we define what success is. When things are finally looking up, you have nagging thoughts “will this success stay forever? I hope I will not fail again, I hope this is finally it!” happens to me . Candidly, we were born to create, control and rule, we have this natural instinct to want more things, grow from phase to phase, different things, but one thing that is constant is the fact we need to move forward. Success is achieving set goals, goals are not tasks, they are what you want to achieve at a point in time, and the goal has to be timed. We finally achieve the goal, which is success, and you reward yourself, and it does not feel as you imagined it will be, maybe you have poured yourself into the mould that you have lost a number of relationships, you have been too hard on yourself, you never enjoyed your path to success, you have a feeling of emptiness, Success is not meant to feel wrong! ...
