How do you step from the top of a 100-foot pole

Stepping from a 100-foot pole, that’s simple, what goes up must come down the science of gravity proves it. Depending on how you got to the top will ensure you a soft or hard landing. Hard work can never be achieved by a simple stride, but through sweat and determination. Cheating your way to the top or even stepping on people to get to the top can never be a safe or guaranteed way of occupying and maintaining your position, it will just simple point out how quickly you will fall.

It is the unnecessary measures that one takes that ensure them a steady recovery once they have to step down from even the highest peak. So then it would be wise to tread carefully so that you can ensure a speedy recovery.

We are what we do

There was a time when a man’s word was so powerful that they would swear on it, but nowadays it is worthless. We have been taught through past experience and behavior that one can never trust someone’s word. Hence we say actions speak louder than words. We as society and individuals are tired of the meaningless exchange of words all we want now is action, actions that will reflect as words, because indeed we have heard the empty promises and now we want to see.

A simple gesture of kindness and giving out your time is an action on its own. Everytime I walk home, there is a big board written, 'You have not lived until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.'

I hope people who walk or drive past this board actually take the time and read it. That qoute, basically covers the essence of life, what we should be as well as who we should be.

Fish falling frm the sky

Can fish ever fall from the sky? Sometimes that’s the question we should ask ourselves when posing a requesting to the government. I understand that the Lord created the earth and its inhabitants and made man ruler over them, just as we made the government ruler over its resources to be distributed amongst its people. Asking from government at times is likes squeezing water from a stone. We want housing, we want our basics necessities, but we are not getting much if any that is.

The onus then lies on us as individuals to start working and be creators of our own future. When working towards your personal goal fish does fall from the sky and it definitely will if it has to. So why not adapt the same approach of getting up and doing it for ourselves and thus bettering our communities.
