  Buzz Buzz!                  New year along many other things comes with a feeling that you have been given a new chance to start something. We feel elated, we feel energized to take the bulls by the horn, we are more encouraged to pursue new goals, not because the sun rose from the south or we won a lottery, but because it is a new year. It feels like a big reset button was hit, and our psychology concurs. But after a while, the feelings fade, the spiked morale starts dipping and we start marching almost as we did last year, so in this piece, we would be dealing with how to avoid that and start a new year properly.        Step One - Do Not Rush:                 As the new year feeling gets more robust during the first few days of the year, the more we want to fill a cardboard will goals and targets. Without accessing the possibilities, our emotion sponsored goals are poured down, without concrete plan on how to get to the mountain top, we include “reaching the mountain top” as a goal

Sun, Oct 18, 2020 7:26 AM                   I will never forget what happened during my university days in school. The police brutality I and my friends experienced, and how we were unable to do zilch about it. Even now, the thought about it haunts me badly. The emotional scar it left is still a subtle reminder in my heart. I can't see a man in Police uniform without feeling attacked, without feeling safe, or without feeling the reassurance of my life. That's how bad things have gotten with me. The traumatic pressure and experience. The post traumatic stress of the agony I experienced first-hand.             I and my friends were home that frigid afternoon having fun. We skipped lectures that day, because our schedules were free. Plus, we ordered pizza and drinks, chilling and gisting. Oblivious to us, SARS operatives were in our lounge, looking for apartments with opened doors. In other words, looking for victims. While we were there, discussing, they barged into our house, lo

                 It is true that a few governs the many; the minority mindset that rules the majority. Part of the reason for this is that there are few people doing things in contrast to the rest persons. Instead of trying to fit in, they emphasis on standing out. You get a reward for your uniqueness and not your similarity. If the world can not spot you in the midst of the crowd then there is no need for it to meet your needs. The world is brimming with people with supposed enlightenment especially the younger generation; people who appear learned but can not produce what learned people produce, people who appear ‘woke’ but have been stimulated into a deep slumber which is evident in their response to life and its fiery challenges. Everybody has something to say about everything and as a consumer, you are adrift. Hearing 30 persons giving 30 contrasting answers to one question is burdensome and can lead one into poor decisions. If you want to make an impact in your society, you must

Should We Loose Hope?     a.)     Is there still hope? Our world seems to have been broken beyond repair. Everyone is running to and fro trying to do this or that, hopes are being shattered, dreams are being abandoned. Families are being broken, government is steadily lying to its people, but, should we give up? Someone advised that we should limit our expectations because life is full of disappointments; wow. First of all life doesn’t actually owe you anything, if you want something, go and get it and depart from self entitlement. Secondly limiting your expectation is a disaster for mediocrity and we don’t wanna be mediocre, or do you? So, advising that we limit our expectation not because the world is ending tomorrow but because life is full of disappointments is an attack from a strange personnel, and the earlier we arrest that thought and cast it out of our minds the better. We shouldn't limit our visions because of life and its unavoidable calamities, rather we should refine o
