Everyone is connected to each other in some ways. We are different individual entities though. Some of our differences or similarities are more exposed to others. But we must never fall into the trap of fitting in.
You are who you are, no matter what your friends or whoever tells you. People should love you for yourself and not for what they can make you or get from you.
Nothing is complicated! Just be yourself. Keep it simple.
Ever noticed how people with a strong character are loved and respected? Everybody wants to be like that! Now, why can't we do that? It works, I know it works!
I tried to be someone else and everyone turned their backs on me. Immediately when I snapped out of day-dreaming and reconnected with myself, everything went back to normal. I've done excersises to strengthen my character and I'm myself again. So, everyone: Nothing is complicated!
Keep it simple.

Like father like daughter
It's so amazing how we are just like our parents but we hate to admit it? Recently, I spent quality time with my daughter. Amazed by how we speak and think, I started to wonder: how is it possible?
After I noticed the look on her face, and for the record it was the same look I used to give my parents. I laughed, then I told her how much I love her. Somehow it seems we can read each other's mind. We have our special language and funny enough no one can read our letters. It's like we are twins but born at different era's.
Most people call her my princess. I call her my better half! We are so much alike, me and my daughter. Again I'm a bit like my mom and dad. They too give me 'the look' but I'm trying not to be too hard on them. Somehow it's like my relationship with my daughter makes me understand my parents better.
Dodo is like her father: free spirited and fearless! I hope she doesn't become a rebel like me. But if she break every rule, question authority and rationalise everything she comes across- we'll have yours truly to blame.
I'll just have to console myself that it runs in the family. My daughter is a real chip off the old block! Just like her old man, grandparents and great grant parents... the list goes on.

Earlier today, I was on working my laptop- doing my usual parttime job. My daughter paid me a visit. After sometime, I realised something wrong! Why is it so quite?
My parental instict kicked in and I've never been so scared. I called my baby and she didn't respond. Looked around the house and my baby was nowhere to be found!
When I went outside, I had to track her with my psychic ability. The moment I saw her was like a movie. Held her in my arms and told her never to leave the house without my permission. I now realise why Nathaniel is so close to his daughter.
I vowed never to neglect her again!

I'm this type of person, for one when I'm happy- everyone sees it. The same applies to when I'm sad or angry. What the generation before me has done is completely unacceptable according to me. I can't pretend to be stupid!
Life is too short. And I totally disagree with double standards. Can't waste my time acting as if I'm stupid, and worst of all, in front of someone from a different race!!!
This older collegue of mine, George, asked me not to show senior staff member that I'm smart. We argued about that! I believe first impressions last. However, I didn't take his advice. But at least I was true to myself.
Most of my friends are not from my race. And they say I'm different but I don't think so. I choose to speak my mind, they choose to keep quiet.
I understand why people from other races or countries think we(Africans) are stupid. We know it's a lie! But still keep quite and grin. Like being African is something to be ashamed of!
I totally disagree!!! My heritage, my identity, I will never forsake even for the whole world. As captain of my ship, there are two options. 1. Shape up or 2. Ship out. Very simple.

Sometimes we hold too much on things that destroy our lives. That grip is holding us back and we don't realise it!
Once we realise what has been hindering our progress is within our reach, we become responsible for our own action.
I learnt to accept that people come in and out of our lives. And we have no control over it! But we can make the best of what we have. Complaining about what we have lost is a waste of time!
Accepting that I won't be working at a laboratory again was devastating! But at least I'm making friends every time I get a chance- at work and at home over the net. Now, ain't that a blessing! Probably, I would have remained a nerd or I don't know?
I've let go of everything I knew and became a newer person. Everything I achieved through the grace of GOD. My friends who passed on, I've let them go. That expensive lifestyle, I let it go! That lab job too!
Now, I live my life like it's the only life I have. And I always keep it simple. Tizz.

I've never seen a place where people (from around the world) could meet and share their photo's, blogs and ideas. You can make friends over the net! Debate over issues and see how people from other countries think.
Opera, a great place to be! Tell your friends about it. See it for yourself first, then tell the world!
Friends I made over opera are countless! Also got great advise for the community, share it on opera.

We are more often asked to put ourselves in other's shoes. Now the question is: if everyone does that, what about our own? I mean, won't we lack originality? My suggestion: let's be true to ourself- be original and ...keep it simple. Tizz.

Stress is the major culprit that destroys our lives. But sometimes stress helps us to discover our inner powers. We worry about a lot of things. There are factors we control which can make us more or less stressful. One of them is relationships. If you don't like something, say it! Somebody hurts you, tell them! You know, people with communication problems stress more- how they look, what will people say, etc... They don't say what they want to say. Silent, quite ones are dangerous! Last year a 15year old slashed 2 other kids at school, with a samurai!!! Not that alone, my teamleader also used to stress me up until I thought of quitting. I didn't quit but I surely straighten the whole team up. That's why I always say keep it simple. Tizz.

Every generation goes one level up from it's predecessors. How? If our cell can mutate to accomodate our current stress levels, then we have the ability to evolve. This theory is hundreds of years old! We can evolve... becoming better than the generation before us. For example, how many times did the first world record (in any sports) being broken? We are becoming stronger, faster and better than the generations before us. Evolution? Or is it just generation upgrade??? Think about it. Tizz

Every action has a reaction. Whatever u throw at the universe will be thrown back at u. If u give love, u'll get love or even more love. The truth about this is: I decided to change my lifestyle. Cutting out on alchohol and stopped smoking! What happened? At least I'm not always broke! Now I'm detoxing and am no longer depressed or angry. Karma? Maybe! I think I got my tune with the universe.
