The Words You Might Hear Just Once

 My Son Will Have To Learn I Know That All

Men Are Not Just, All Men Are Not True. But

Teach Him Also That For Ever Scoundrel There

Is A Hero; That For Every Selfish Politician,

There Is A Dedicated Leader. Teach Him That

For Every Enemy There Is A Friend.

It Will Take Time, I Know; But Teach Him, If

You Can, That A Dollar Earned Is Far More

Valuable Than Five Found.

Teach Him To Learn To Lose And Also To

Enjoy Winning.

Steer Him Away From Envy, If You Can.

Teach Him The Secret Of Quite Laughter. Let

Him Learn Early That The Bullies Are The

Easiest To Tick.

Teach Him, If You Can, The Wonder Of Books..

But Also Give Him Quiet Time To Ponder Over

The Eternal Mystery Of Birds In The Sky, Bees

In The Sun, And Flowers On A Green Hill –

Side.

In School Teach Him It Is Far More

Honourable To Fail Than To Cheat.

Teach Him To Have Faith In His Own Ideas,

Even If Every One Tells Him They Are Wrong.

Teach Him To Be Gentle With Gentle People

And Tough With The Tough.

Try To Give My Son The Strength Not To

Follow The Crowd When Every One Is Getting

On The Bandwagon.

Teach Him To Listen To All Men But Teach

Him Also To Filter All He Hears On A Screen

Of Truth And Take Only The Good That Comes

Through.

Teach Him, If You Can, How To Laugh When

He Is Sad. Teach Him There Is No Shame In

Tears. Teach Him To Scoff At Cynics And To

Beware Of Too Much Sweetness.

Teach Him To Sell His Brawn And Brain To

The Highest Bidders; But Never To Put A Price

Tag On His Heart And Soul.

Teach Him To Close His Ears To A Howling

Mob… And To Stand And Fight If He Thinks

He’s Right.

Treat Him Gently; But Do Not Cuddle Him

Because Only The Test Of Fire Makes Fine

Steel.

Let Him Have The Courage To Be Impatient,

Let Him Have The Patience To Be Brave.

Teach Him Always To Have Sublime Faith In

Himself Because Then He Will Always Have

Sublime Faith In Mankind.

This Is A Big Order; But See What You Can Do.

He Is Such A Fine Little Fellow, My

Son.  Abraham Lincoln.

The Essence Of Everything Everything

I thank God that everyday of our lives is not in the court room. Why is that? I will tell you. You know I hear some court case where you have to stand and answer “yes” or “no” to some lawyer. You might be facing blackmail or threat,and some lawyer folk will just want a yes or no answer from you,so long you stay jailed,but thank God God is not like that,and thank God our everyday life is not like that. No offense to lawyers though. Before I go on I would like to talk about foundations. Just like some building wall you will see cracks,now if you put extra cement on it with little or no time the cracks comes back,it tells you that the foundation is bad,and you can do almost nothing about it. Now the truth is no matter how experienced or intelligent you might be you can still make mistakes on things you know how to do well (it’s just to inform you to not use your experience or intelligent as some fulcrum). Some African proverb said”What an elder sees sitting down,a child even when he climb...

Sands Of Life

I sit in this arm chair in my work place,and thought plenty about life,and one of them is the sands of time. You know one thing about life is that one day in someday it comes to an end,even if it goes as if it never ends. The sands of time goes slow and steady;after all is said and done the sand always finishes to the last drop,you know,so is it with life,we can just call it the sands of life. John Wesley must have thought plenty about the sands of life when he said"Do good to anyone you can,in all the places you can,and as long as you ever can", 'cause only good thing counts in the long run,bad things can be counted,but good things like light always swell. It tells you that wherever you go go with all your heart,and it tells you that no matter how you try you cannot help everyone,only Jesus Christ can do that,but still give all the love that you can 'cause when your own sands runs out you can only give nothing. You cannot be everything,but be the fine breathe of life...

The Mask On Our Faces

 I was sitting in my work place with a girlfriend,and we were busy laughing about what we were watching on social media. Suddenly a thought came to my head and I asked her"When there was no phone or social media when a guy and a girl are sitting together what do they do?" She said"they talk about things, phones have spoiled us" The thing is I know the advantages of our cell phones and social media,but the truth is that don't we miss the good old days? Those days when a guy sits with a girl and they talk about,about God and bible things,about music,about romance,about native things,I really do miss those intimate days... You know,the days of blue lights in the basement,the days of family times and young love. I have a sister in law who would love to put off the TV at night and wanting everyone to sit and talk,just talk about anything there is... And in one of the times we would sit in the calm darkness and talk about a whole lot of stuff,and laugh without control...
