Some words.....

1.“Friend. – a person you know well and like and who is not usually a member of your family”
- Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary

Life in itself holds a lot of stories as to the importance of a friend in the life of man. A dog is even a man’s friend and you cannot but agree even if the dog is a dog.

The important thing to remember is that a friend will smile with you, a friend keeps smiling with you, a friend keeps shinning with you and a friend keeps going through life with you.

In life there are some friends that are meant to be there all through your life and there are some who are meant to make an appearance and sometimes these friends come with their demons and some with their angels. I have been so blessed to have so many wonderful friends who are angels and have made me to become one.

Who are you being friends with and who is your friend? Are you there for them all their life or are you just making an appearance? Whichever one best describes you, make the best out of it because you never know what your friendship will do to them.

2. “Nothing teaches us more about who we are than seeing ourselves with the people we least expect”. - Anonymous

Life is too short for one to keep wishing for a second chance; a second chance to be able to do that “thing” the right way and not be afraid of failures.

We are drawn by the force of nature which ultimately tells us we have to be familiar with what we are doing to be able to do them well or we have to be able to overcome overwhelming odds. When we are given the chance to prove ourselves we fight it because we think we are being unjustly treated.

But the truth is, nothing will teach you more about you than you being with the people you think hate you, like you, love you, tolerate you, despise you, annoy you, fight you, degrade you, etc.

it is just a force of nature and believe me, it is not pretty but if you allow it have its way, you will be the better for it because then and only then will you be able to find out who you are and what your place really is.

So when you are moved from your comfortable department to one you do not like, or given an assignment that looks like it will break the back of a donkey, try to be you because your acceleration starts with the things that are labeled impossible.

3."Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out if they've got a second. Give your dreams all you've got and you'll be amazed at the energy that comes out of you."
-William James 1842-1910, Philosopher and Author

The dream part of a man’s life somehow goes a long way to determine what he eventually turns out to be tomorrow and whether he likes it or not it ultimately makes him look forward to having another of such dreams.

Dreams have a way of being good and bad or both; and as uncertain it may appear at first, it is important to get into it with so much energy so much that should you get a second one…. it will be worth the while.

Many of us have had dreams to be who we are or still are aiming to be. Many of us are somehow content with the dream we are living, Many have had a not so pleasant dream, Many have instead of having dreams had nightmares and Many are still waiting to dream.

For some they never get enough of the dream because to them, (these are the ones who have had nightmares instead of dreams) a day without a dream is not complete and they look forward to dream and even do it with their eyes open.

Many have had dreams to become fathers and mothers, rich and influential, wickedly evil and inconsiderate, fanatical and crazy, good and bad…..the list is endless and no matter the hard or evil it presents, there was a dream.

One thing is sure, dreams have a way of making the day go by and you never know, your dream could be what the world will be living in the near future, just the way you are living the Mark Zukerberg’s dream, the Larry Elison’s dream, the Jeff Besos’ dream, the Roman Ibramhovic’s dream, the Bill Gates’ dream, the Steve Jobs’ dream, the Aso Savings and Loans’ dream etc.

Dream on!!! Dream away and never stop at the first.

4.“To discover new lands we must consent to lose sight of the shore.”
-Andre Gide

To be able to become exceptional and great in life, you must consent to become creatively dangerous and be always ready to stick out your head in a bid to achieving set goals.

You must learn to avoid the comfort zones of life and experience a pain like you never experienced before.

You must get to a stage in life whereby dawn breaks with so much waiting to be handled.

And because you just must succeed you must consent to the fact that the winnings of yesterday will not be recorded as that of today or tomorrow, it counts for the past and until you are seen or called Crazy, the shore will always be close by and will become the failing part.

So be wickedly far from the shores and stay crazed with the passion once you do get far from the shores.
