The power of knowledge against poverty

Knowledge is power. It is a tree that bears fruit of freedom and great strength. Ignorance promotes weaknesses and enslavement. With knowledge, any situation can be conquered. One disturbing problem in our society is penury which has caused a lot of set backs we experience today. What could be the source and the solution of this debilitating penury? Poverty of knowledge is the root and source of penury and retrogression. The lack of, and insufficient knowledge power affects the ability and capacity of man to think thoroughly and determine the cause and the right solution to problems affecting human conditions in their environments. Knowledge power comes with quality learning and experience accumulated formally and informally from accredited academic institutions and apprenticeship under qualified experts. Knowledge power is more awesome than political power and even more useful to the country as well as the individual possessor than that which temporarily exist with less

Can Lust Bud Into Love?

 Many relationship begin with lust, and sometimes  leave the partners falling gradually in love. ..... Being in love doesn't exclude lust. In fact, lust can lead to love (Judith Orloff M.D, Intuitive Healing) View the previous post, "lust versus love" for signs of love and lust . So, examine your relationship and draw the lines between love and lust. For a healthy relationship in the long run, it is better to identify what you truly feel at the early stage. FOUR NEGATIVE GUT FEELINGS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS (from Guide to Intuitive Healing) Watch for: 1. A little voice in your gut says "danger" or "beware." 2. You have a sense of malaise, discomfort, or feeling drained after you're together. 3. Your attraction feels destructive or dark. 4.

Love versus Lust

Love is an intense feeling or affection and care towards another person. Lust is a strong craving for something. In terms of intimate relationship, lust is a strong desire to get sexually intimate with the opposite sex. According to Judith Orloff M.D's book on intuitive healing she discussed the difference between lust and love: Pure lust is based solely on physical attraction and fantasy--it often dissipates when the "real person" surfaces. ...... However, real love, not based on idealization or projection, requires time to get to know each other. Here are some signs to watch for to differentiate pure lust from love. SIGNS OF LUST *You're totally focused on a person's looks and body. *You're interested in having sex, but not in having conversations. *You'd rather keep the relationship on a fantasy level, not discuss real feelings. *You want to leave soon after sex rather than cuddling or breakfast the next morning. *You are lovers, but not fr

Dreams Never Die Till... 4

Dreams die hard but give birth to more durable ones. The abrupt end to a dream is not common place unless the dreamer was day dreaming and building castles in the air. Dreams are invested with a resilience to sustain them through a lifetime once they are conceived and until they have been fully delivered of their objectives. We are bound to them as soon as something triggers our memory, even remotely. We can only fine tune them to fast track their reactivation with more vigour. Many careers or academic pursuit fail to materialize because they were unsuitable to the passion of those whom circumstances rather than their dreams determined their choices. This category of people had to revert back eventually to what they actually wanted to do after going through the tragedy of a misadventures. Most of this happened as a result of peer-influences or parental insistence to have their way. Even career guidance at a formal level have not quite ameliorated this unfortunate situation. The abiliti

Before This, Place That

Place your thoughts and ideas in the right order so that you do not get entangled or frustrated in the midst of your (life) project. It is worrisome and unpleasant to jump the gun, or to put the cart before  the horse. Little wonder the unrealized or failed experience encountered when such principle is not taken into consideration. Nutrients for your thought: Before money become the solution to achieving your dreams, place passion. Those people who grumble for lack of money as a prerequisite to moving up on the ladder of life, do not see the future with an optimistic view. Our undying passion should be kept burning under faith (an optimistic view of what is to come). Before opportunity become what you seek for, make yourself and skills available for every good works. It's saddening to know that some people suffer poor self esteem and are  (as well as their abilities) unlikely conspicuous to people around them; while some are lazy or apathetic over contributing towards a go

#originality We cannot afford to indulge our minds in ideas conceived by other people whose capabilities are different from our own and have their part well cut-out to make their success very easy. But if there are similarities with such people then we need to adapt the ideas offered by others to our basic competencies rather than adopt wholesale and make a mess of ourselves.

ANOTHER TOMORROW, Chapter 3

Chapter 3 We found ourselves in an amazing field filled with aromatic and seductive ambience of bright and colourful flowers. Amazing it was! We were caught in the tranquil and splendour of the field. We toured, played, sang and danced like we've never done before. Amazing it was! It was so enchanting that we were oblivious of the time we had spent there. It was like we had found Paradise- a place of rest. "This is a place of enchantment", said Violet. I had never seen her bloom so much with excitement. "It's Paradise", Orange said too.

Nothing can be more alive in the inner recesses of our minds than our dreams. That is the proof of the incontestable superiority of our dreams to all other ideas and thoughts swirling around our brains for attention. The reason is that our rise and fall in life depends on the types of dream we harbour and nurture in our minds.

ANOTHER TOMORROW, chapter 2

Another tomorrow is a place where our dreams and visions can carry us.... CHAPTER TWO We were colours of light. Our speed was graceful and intended for beauty especially when we  moved together. And we had gone miles and come to rest at the foot of a hill. Night had fallen sooner than we imagined. Tents were set up but we preferred laying down on the mats outside; faced up towards the sky and gazing at the stars as though communing with them.

ANOTHER TOMORROW

CHAPTER ONE It's like waking up and finding myself in a dreamland. Dreamland or reality? Whatever this scene may seem, truth reflects in this: life is a journey. Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Orange, Violet, and I,    White were altogether that morning sitting by the pool which shimmered under the luminous sun. The reflection of hope was what we saw, smelt, and felt as we washed ourselves in the pool, and  joyfully refreshed to resume our travel.
