This past week...

I just noticed that almost everyone in my office is either itchy,acting frustrated or just nursing a wound under their skin.Have you ever worked in an environment where there is so much animosity that you literally feel it?If not,then welcome to my world!.You know I keep asking why anyone should blame anyone for his/her situation in life.I am personally of the school of thought that celebrates taking responsibilty for oneself:your actions and circumstances!.Life has different shades and for God's sakes everyone must at one time or another see these different shades.If it was all green or purple once upon a time,then be sure to welcome black and blue times too.

A colleague of mine would walk into the office wearing this long face you would think this  dear colleague of mine just hit a trailer!.This same person would let off vibes on FB,(thank God for Facebook,at least you can rant there!)dissing the company and the bosses,calling them mediocres...hahaha,chei!.Why would you remain in a place where the people who lead you are mediocres?If mediocres are bossing you around,what does it make you?Your guess is as good as mine.If you are working in a place you genuinely believe is below your standards,the sanest thing to do for your beloved self is to move away quickly so that the "mediocres" don't rob you of the A-Class left in you.Don't frustrate yourself and others showing face in that same place every working day acting coy.Nobody should have any excuse to stick around medoicres.Why overburden your dear heart with so much animosity?Why suffer yourself so terribly because you wouldn't tell yourself the truth?Why severe your relationship with your maker because of misplaced judgement which you have no right to?Free youself from the spirit of mediocrity,stop hating anybody for your "predicaament".Afterall you accepted and signed your employment letter!.

Be the champion,take a bow now that the ovation is loudest!Why blame others?

Longest Nails on the Planet!

This is Christine Walton from Las Vegas -- who has the world's longest fingernails measuring a freaky 19ft 9in (601.9cm).She has set a record in Guiness world book of records. That's 10ft 2in (309.8cm) on her left hand and 9ft 7in (292.1cm) on her right hand and the 45-year-old singer says she hasn’t cut her fingernails since 1990. Christine insists the nails don’t prevent her from living a normal life; she can still braid hair, cook and drive, however, she does confess to struggling when shopping for clothes: "I’ll see the cutest shirts, and they’ll have these skinny arms and I know that my nails would just rip straight through them, she said. "I never made a conscious decision to grow the nails, but with all my children and the music commitments I guess it was easier to let the nails grow," she added, "Then one day I look down and they’re like 9 inches long!" Her current length of the fingernails are the equivalent length of a killer whale; two...

The Empowered woman

I think being a woman,I mean a real woman is one of the hardest things ever!. You won't agree with this only if you are not a woman,but if you are a woman,then congratulations to you.You are a mysterious being but then again this congratulation goes to the 'real woman'. The real woman is that person that makes everything difficult seem easy.She is a hard worker,faithful friend and partner,a good manager,a home maker,a lover,a confidant,a mother,a sister,a daughter,a visioneer...Someone,may say,"Yea, ok...I'm not a mother or I'm single and so does that make me not a real woman?Of course not!. Age,class,status,beauty or achievements do not define a real woman,but character does. I can't but wonder at the stories we hear these days about women.I marvel at the rate of evil perpetuated by women in our society.Prostitution is old wives tale but when women are involved in armed robbery,kidnappings,terrorism,gang rape,adultery,fraud to mention a few,then by a...
