CONQUERING OUR WEAKNESS; EMOTION

Image
  Being emotional is the biggest battle I face. Usually perturbed and steered by emotions, I often exaggerate the gravity and efficacy of my words. Not only is this attitude tormenting, but also discouraging and causing anguish, misery, agony to my physical and mental being. Maybe I should say it is a paroxysm of joy. I think you can imagine how it'll feel to live in a world without joy. Upon deeper contemplation, I realized that by confronting my fears,  weaknesses and  circumstantial imbalance gives me the enablement to comprehend this illness. So today I understand that, running away from my weakness is the biggest error I can ever make.     Therefore, I've decided to headlock my challenges and fears, instead of running away from them. Mind you, I've accepted it because it only makes me strong. That's the way I'm conquering my malicious and unacceptable emotions. I still remain focus.

SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

Image
Over the few years a very good number of social media platforms have risen up. From Google+ to tango, from telegram to viber, whatsapp to imo, instagram to snapchat, wechat, just to mention a few. Each one being unique in its own way. A survey conducted to find out which one is the best and the reason for the choices revealed some amazing facts. Google+ mainly characterized by gmail not very popular in our part of the world even as much as more and more gmail users are rising due to the boom of smartphones. Tango came up and showed class but not many spoke about it because during its reign normal use of sms was effective and efficient. From the survey one unique thing about telegram was the ability to send multimedia messages including documents. But the storage size of the app was nothing to write home about;very large. Facebook which I learnt had been in the system from 2004 got popular around 2010. It became the number one media for socialization. One could add as many as 4000+ f

Voice Of The Youth

Image
This article may be one of the dearest to me that I think anyone out there reading it will also admit to its reality. Recently I embarked on a short survey to find out from people(The Youth) this,"How better Will It be to have the Youth run the affairs of a Country?" It was quite amazing per the responses given. Some believe that if the Youth are given the opportunity to run the affairs of a Country,It will be a disaster simply because the former think the mindset/mentality of the Youth isn't built up(developed) enough to run a country's affairs and hence must remain under the supervision of the adults. Others also believe that with current increase in technology and how technology now plays a vital role in a country's development, it wouldn't be such a bad idea to have the Youth running the country's affairs particular with the help of technology. Some of their reasons had to deal with the fact that currently the Youth are storming the te

Why Acknowledge Mothers?

Image
Someone recently asked me why we only show appreciation to the efforts of our parents(Mothers) in our lives on just a day within the whole year,but all I could say is we always show appreciation to them but on such day it just an honor celebrating your mother as the best among the rest. In case we all don't recognize the efforts and benefits mothers incorporate in our lives, then I will briefly tell you some out of the Acronym 'MOTHER' M-MOTIVATES:-Mothers give us motivation as to how to cope with life challenges,being it Educationally,Socially,Religiously and Morally. O-ORGANIZE:- Mothers help us to ORGANIZE our lives and structure it in a way that is appealing and acceptable in the society. T-TRUST: -She always has confidence and trust in US that no matter the twist and turns things are going to be better. H-HUMBLE: -Mothers are so HUMBLE that even when we disappoint or offend them in one way or the other, they easily forgive US. E-ENCOURAGE: -She encou

THE SOCIAL TOURNAMENT(ELECTIONS);CITIZENS VRS POLITICAL LEADERS.

In every country,there is this social tournament that goes on between the ordinary citizens and the country's politicians. Here in Ghana our tournament(the elections)Is held every 4years to decide who becomes president or who occupies what position. One question I seize not to ask myself is "why my choice of this article or piece".I'm sure after you've read it I may have communicated something to you. Ghana attained Independence 59 years ago and since then we've had several leaders who have served the country with the best they can; talk of H.E Dr. Kwame Nkrumah,H.E J.J. Rawlings,H.E John Agyekum Kuffour, and others time cannot permit me to mention. One common language all these past leaders speak during this social tournament (Election) Is" Vote for me and I will make the lives of all citizen better" and so on yet little of what they promise do they deliver. Ghanaians are so generous that upon hearing all these promises,we entrust o
