PRETENCE

Image
By
Pretence is an act of presenting a lie as the truth or an act of presenting false in place of truth. Pretence is a game of fools. Because, only the fool will pretend to be what he's not.
          Pretence is one of the most dangerous bad traits amidst our youths of today. A lot of them youths will want to be like another person, from their minds ,they want to look more presentable. They sell their personalities to pretence. This act is very dangerous. It is so dangerous that it will hinder your helpers. It is dangerous because, by the time you look back, it would be difficult to open up and still hiding will lead you to shame someday.
  Let's take this scenario 
A Lady who lives in a face me and I face you apartment has a cup that has a cover, but the cup is dirty. Very dirty but the outside was clean, a neighbour asks is that cup clean? She says yes so that she  wouldn't think she's dirty to have kept a dirty cup. Meanwhile the person should have helped her to wash it. Now, she's afraid of bringing the cup outside to wash, the cup remained stinky inside. She's discomforted, what if she wanted to wash it inside and the neighbour comes in? If she wanted to wash it outside the neighbour would question her, to avoid that, she packaged the cup with refuses and throw it away.
      That seems simple right? But I tell you that's how uncomfortable a pretender's life will be.
     My dear, don't  shackle yourself with pretence. Break free and open up. You are wonderfully designed for a glorious purpose. Don't hide your bads, open up to people who can make goods out of the bads of you.
Pretence is dangerous, be yourself.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

By
Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them)  Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

The Greatest Goal

By
When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal.  Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal.       Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....
