Reciprocal...

Image
Hello guyz... Its been a while. Hope you all are having a wonderful time. So I want to discuss about reciprocal. Its neccessary in our lives. I mean, we all expect our favour to be returned in one way or the other. Even if we claim that our actions are simply selfless but sometimes it hurts when the other party doesn't reciprocate. Yeah, most times it causes conflict, thus we should try to understand that it doesn't happen always whether we like it or not, everybody doesn't have the same mindset. The person you did the favour may not really remember. So, it will be much better for us if we dont let these teeny-tiny detail get in the way of our relationships.  Also, sometimes we also expect a person to do something when we ask them just because we had previously done it for them. I absolutely detest this, I mean, just because you fufilled my request doesn't mean that I will do yours, because Its possible that I am in a situation that I cant do it. It makes me unsettled

Apreciation...

I completed another 365days of my life yesterday. I am grateful to God Almighty for his infinite mercy and His immeasureable grace in my life. Its not easy to be alive and healthy to witness this day. I am thankful to my family for their support and encouragement over the years. They are the best gift I received from God and I am really happy to have them. I also appreciate all my friends that called, sent me sms, DM's whatsapp messages, wrote on my timeline to wish me a happy birthday... You sure made my day and am reminded that I have people by my side. Even the friends that didn't wish me, I know you have good intentions at heart. Finally, I am aware that I've made mistakes, erred, stumbled in the past, but am hoping on becoming a better and stronger person than I've ever been as I start another cycle... Thank you all once again, I really appreciate.... Still yours... Las B...

My bunky

I have always said that a person's birthday is the day they are supposed to be remembered and celebrated even if they aren't remembered on other days. So here it goes: ​Its impossible for me to complete the tales of my days at Feddy Onitsha without mentioning her. Infact I can't even forget it neither in my dreams nor imagination, talk more of in reality. I could probably write a book if ever I start going into details, my experience with her. I remember vividly the day I was assigned to be her bunkmate. As usual, I came back early, enthusiastic "aspa" jss2 girl, eager to have the new students, I was even angry because of the re-arrangement of the hostels making it Junior and Senior hostels when I walked up to her partners and her with my brother and she told me that I was in Jasmine...Then I was given the bunk A2, as I was still contemplating who I was going to "mount", our house cap shouted her name "Odera, see your bunky here oo", Gosh, my h

Be yourself...

People are always advised to be themselves in anywhere they find themselves in, but sometimes a person has to compromise in order to fit in as the saying goes "when you get to Rome, you behave like the Romans" A person adjusting his or her character a little so as to have better communication with others isn't wrong but what is wrong is when you transform yourself completely. Its better to behave as one's character is so that people will get to know you as you are than pretending to be someone you are not, cos believe me, one day you will be discovered which in turn will lead to your humiliation and embarassment in a very terrible manner.  Reasons why people pretend to be something else.  There are many reasons for that, I will list a few ⭐ To receive recognition: Yes, many people just forget where they come from and behave otherwise because they want to be recognized as the best or be noticed by the higherups. Thus giving them leverage over others in terms of trea

Introverts vs Shyness??

Image
Hey Guys, I was having a conversation with a friend I met on social network and he talked about an introvert is the same thing as being shy. I disagreed with it. My reasons are that an introvert just don't like being in association with people, its more like living in solitude but that does not mean that they are not outspoken. It is true that majority of introverts are shy but it simply shouldn't be generalized with everybody. They just don't like going out, they feel uneasy whenever they think of going out. The funny thing about it is that Nothing will actually happen if they go out but just the thought of it is enough to spoil the mood. I don't know the reason but it has happened to me so many times already. For instance, I want to visit a friend but thinking about the journey weighs heavily on my mind but if I make up my mind, its just easy as everything else or If my siblings decide to visit a park or anywhere, I always want to stay behind. Thus, I agree wholeheart

Procrastination...

Image
I decided to write on procrastination cos it's one of the reasons people fail to achieve their aim. To procrastinate means "to delay" a plan intentionally or not... Its a common occurrence in our everyday lives. People tend to delay or push  to a later time, things that can be achieved immediately example chores, plans,especially the "new year resolution"... This is the most severe case of procrastination, Infact only a few people actually put to practice what they resolved at the beginning of the year and when we continue that way, we realize that we never achieved anything in the year.  Infact, I always procrastinate on my resolutions that I decided to stop writing one but I try not to postpone what I planned though it can be very difficult, thus it requires self-consciousness and discipline to curb that.  How should I discipline himself.  Its hard to control oneself especially if the trait wasn't developed at childhood. Even those that were taught disci

Personal...

Dear mom, cant believe its been 7 years already. Its been hard though growing up without you and not having your prescence in my life. I always envy my friends when they talk about theirs but I always cover up putting on smiles but to be honest its been hard... I remember vividly the last time I saw you, you came back from the hospital just to see us and since I went for children ministry, I wasnt really present there. I remember complaining about why you bothered to come since you were getting better and I remember when you were waving at us before entering Uncle Pius car. It was as if you knew that you wouldnt see us again, Who would have thought that you'd die when you were already getting better. I even remember procastinating my visit to the hospital on the week of your demise since I was hoping you would be back soonest, am sorry and I regret it. I apologize for skipping primary six against your wishes... I know this wont bring you back but I just want to express my feelings.
Happy new month guys. Welcome to the month of february , the month of love. And guess what, Its also my birth month. Hurrrayyyy 🙌 🙌 🙋 🙋

Our Mentality...

Something has been bothering me lately and I intend to share my personal views...It is often said that poor strugglers tend to achieve great things more than an average or rich person. So, I was wondering if that means that an average person cant achieve as much as a poor person.  Of course, the ideas that argue in its favour is the fact that a person with no sponsor has more determination to achieve success but that cannot be generalized. This is because, not everybody has persistance and optimisim. But that doesn't mean that an average person cant attain great heights. Some may say that 'an average person can be lazy thinking that he or she has enough' but I disagree. Like I said earlier, "the mindset of everybody is not the same"  Considering this notion, it only implies that an average person shouldnt aim higher cos they probably wont make it. I didn't intend to be too forward with it but this is what I have always concluded whenever I think about it. Th
