I walked into an auditorium to find a group of artist perform, "la danse des sauvages," or simply the dance of the savages, with a dozen few people watching them from the benches, I asked for what purpose were they doing it for, was it a performance of sorts? When a director replied instantly claiming that he wanted to show the world how savage we are, any form of entertainment that promotes violence, encourages civil disobedience and harden people's hearts is savage, however peacefully it may be presented, what matters most is the outcome.

When running an organization, things go wrong all the time. A lot of managers complain so much about the work they do because every working day of their lives is always a fight for survival. They feel like going to the office every day to try and rescue a sinking ship. Just like seafaring captains, our leaders go through the same kind of struggles every day. Managing a ship, especially a huge tanker or cargo vessel is such an incredible task, first of all, the captain has to make sure all cargo is carefully loaded onto their ship, secondly, they have to meticulously manoeuvre their ships ...

We think we are prepared well enough until when the next pandemic strikes, it catches everyone off-guard and the world is plunged into unimaginable chaos. You see physicians, nurses, ...

Slavery is a sad part of history that a lot of people would rather not want to talk about, they wish it was swept under the rug as the stories are so distressing & so heart wrenching that it would be better if no one ever spoke about this dark past at all. Debates on such topics have created so much division in the society, social tensions are back on the rise. Descendants of those slaves want these issues to be discussed in public squares, they want this history to be fully taught in school curriculums so as not to repeat itself, many still harbor the grievances and pain they inherited ...

Darwin gathers his large ape family to tell them a tale, the ascent of man is retold once more in the eyes of the apes, he teaches them many tricks which they can use to outwit man and remove him from his current place of dominion, "they can't do anything without their witchcraft," he tells them, he even gives them secret plans to cause mayhem in the peoples households."

I once asked a college professor, ''how come you don’t own a single company or small business when you have been the professor of Business and economics for so many years?'' I just got a blank stare in return and knew it was better not to ask any more questions. The reality of life is that people who teach business are not in the actual business while the people who create fortune 500 companies have never set foot in a business class or college. What a strange world we live in that the people who know so much about something don’t have an ounce of that thing in their possession. If the ...

When machines go on strike who can survive? Who will stand in their way when they join forces to get rid of us? We have become so much depended on machinery and technology that we can barely do anything without them. Picture a world without machinery and we have nothing, we are plunged back into the stone age, to a time when we are unable to do anything complex, we were helpless as an infant and always at mercy to the forces of nature . Shouldn't we rethink our building strategies altogether?

Unable to tell where you are going? You could be heading into a gold mine and strike it rich or you could be walking on the ruins of an ancient lost city , you become a discoverer. Likewise you could be also walking straight into the mouth of a lion's den, and easily get devoured by the fierce beast, never to be heard of or from again. Whatever it is that motivates people to travel into the unknown territories, to sail across uncharted waters or dive deep into a dark cave, that I do not know neither does anyone else, for the public believes they are bored fellows who are tired of living and...

Silly kids definitely ask silly questions, "HELLO KING JAMES," is the name of the Sunday school Jimmy and I went to, as you know it children with their never ending curiosity can be very annoying sometimes especially with their nerdy questions. After all you can't blame nor punish them for their ignorance, for being unreasonable and finding difficulties understanding simple matters. Thanks to reverend Walter for his great patience with us, he tried his best to answer our inquiries in the most satisfactory way possible which many other Sunday school teachers failed to do, we asked many ...

The world is full of fakes, fake music, fake maps, fake clocks, fake passion, fake everything. You have to figure out for yourself which is legit and which is not. However there are those things that start out as poor samples of an existing one, then later go on to improve, to surpass the brilliance of the already existing ones.

I never had any poor image of myself since childhood till when others made me think so lowly of myself, it begins as a simple comment, a playful tease which turns into a contemplation and later becomes a belief, then slowly becomes a reality. A feeling of uneasiness begins to crouch into the mind, some of such thoughts do rise deep from oneself, however, most are ideas of external origin, beliefs put into them by others who despise them, it therefore depends on one's own ability to wade off these invading notions. Whether they stand their ground and defend their confidence or simply give up...

All languages are beautiful for those that speak them and those that don’t understand, it's just like listening to another pair of gibberish parrots, there is no single person who can speak all the languages.
