I believe in you...


"What I've learned the hard way" 
by Bob Perks·        
Don't just stop and smell the roses, touch them, look between the petals  and become the rose.        
There's always plenty of time to pull over to see the rainbow.        
Share whatever you have even if your friend takes more than she/ he should.         
When you fall get up again and again and again.   
It was never as bad as I thought it would be.        
Talk is cheap, action priceless.        
We are all connected.        
I am somebody.        
My parents were right.       
 Dream Big, work Bigger!        
 Read the instructions first.         
Be daring, don't "Open other end."    
Take time to get the right tools he first time.        
Vegetables are good for you.  French fries with cheese count for vegetable and dairy.        
 They were the good old days as long as you believe they were.        
 Hug guys anyway.        
Forget politically correct.  Tell the stranger she looks incredible!       
Hug girls anyway.       
 If you don't know say so.        
"Because I said so"  Is a good enough answer.        
 Let the other guy go first.        
Even when you know your kids won't listen, tell them any way.  It's your job.        
Just one more is always one too many.        
 Regret weighs tons.       
Failure is a lesson learned, not an ending.         
Faith is stronger than fear.  But what you fear, owns you.
Love is always the answer.   
Love your enemies.  If you don't, you are no different then they are     
Keep trying to save the world.        
Have doubt? Try anyway.  Doubt gets you nowhere.    
Sing whenever/wherever you want to and get others to join in.        
 Write poetry and love letters.  They are the whispers of angels.       
Don't just walk by people, smile, say "Hello!"        
"If your friend jumped off a cliff, would you?"  Really is a good question.        
There is no such thing as luck.     Buy a lottery ticket for the $50 million anyway. Maybe it was meant to be.        
Say, "Yes, dear" and mean it.        
Listen like you really care.       
Be there.     There is nothing more important than family.        
God is the head of the family.       
 Even if you heard the joke before listen again and laugh.  Don't steal their joy.        
Your dog always loves you.   Your spouse knows you better.        
 Don't lie.       
Tell the truth, except when someone asks "How old do you think I look?" Lie.      
 "Do I look fat in this?" Lie.        
Buy flowers "just because"  It makes up for all the lying.       
Take care of yourself,  not just for you, but for those who love you.        
Don't forget your anniversary.       If you forget your anniversary...lie.         
Buy more flowers.        
Somehow you will make it through anything, you always have before  That's how you got this far.        
Say "I love you!" more often even when they don't say it to you.         
Sit in a puddle, leave your umbrella in the car, splash, run, jump and roll   down a hill.        
Never turn your nose up at nonsense.         
Clean out your closet.  Give your skinny clothes away.  By the time they fit they'll be out of style and you can go shopping a over again.       
Re-discover your brother/sister.  Why weren't  they this insightful before?  They were.  You were too wrapped up in yourself to notice.       
Forgive.       
Ask for forgiveness.        
Pray.       
Believe. 
 Try.   
 Try harder.
 Praise        
 Add to life. Don't just take from it.              
Count your blessings and leave out the bank account and possessions.      
 When I say "I believe in you!"... believe me, I do!
"I believe in you!"

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...

The Career Woman

I stumbled upon this beautiful article on IFP while researching on other stuff and thought to share it. It's a 4 minutes read. I totally agree with it. Gender equality seems to be the one issue that isn't going away. Many of us like to believe sexism is something that only plagued the workplaces of yesteryear, but unfortunately it still exists. Don't believe us? Well, in 2016 just 57% of the world's  working-age women  were in employment, compared to 70% of their male counterparts. And even the females who were in work were struggling to catch up with the men. Women with  full-time jobs  still earn only about 77% of their male counterparts' earnings. Of course, the issue is complex and many expect that because most countries have made it illegal to pay women less than men, that gender inequality has fixed itself. However, problems surrounding  unconscious bias , parental leave, and outdated stereotypes about gender roles persist in the workplace. But what are th...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...
