The Mind; a treasure box, not a dustbin to keep hatred, anger and jealousy
By Ustaz Mark Bang Most of our politicians are not truly politicians but learners in the political continuum. They have naked plans characterized by bribery, hatred, and jealousy.

Until South Sudan understands why imported goods are labelled “For Export Only”

Telling people the truth is more troublesome than catching a lion’s tail. When you catch a lion’s tail, it is as if you have slapped the Chief of Defense Force’s face. If you survive it, you will always be a self-employed advisor on discipline. It is rare to get a[Read More…]
To avoid mind shutdown

A retouch: Letter to unborn children [Part 5]

Do the world’s presidents have someone employed to taste their foods before they eat?
I have always wondered about the privileges that come with being the president. It is cool and most times, you make a lot of decisions. You can ask people to stay home without going to work or school when you are not feeling well. Work and classes resume when you[Read More…]

Big or small, an opportunity is an opportunity
There is no opportunity that has a nickname. It is a common mistake branding an opportunity as “golden”. There is no golden opportunity nor is there a silver opportunity, or any of that kind. No opportunity that has a colour. The bigness of an opportunity does not make it golden.[Read More…]
