The Youth Proverbs (Volume 6)

Image
By
Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt?
Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
Doth the wild ass Bray when he hath grass?
Can you settle for the tasteless meal?

O'Youth! You are as good a tasteless meal,
When you refuse to pull of the childish raiment,
When you refuse to grow,
When you see no reason to add value to yourself.

No one buys from the market what needs not,
No one fights to get what has no value,
If you are not fully loaded,
You will not be desperately needed.

'Cause it is tasteless, you run from the egg white,
'Cause it has no flavour, you run from the meal,
When a man has no taste, he is not needed,
When a man has no flavour, he is neglected.

Many are the ordinaries,
Few are the extra ordinaries,
Creatures need more extra ordinaries,
Pull out of the ordinaries.

You need a shift,
You need to grow,
You need more flavours,
The creature earnestly awaits to taste of it.

In your world,
If you must sell, you must be valuable,
You value determines your buyer,
When your value is high, Kings will come for you.

Your gift will not make you stand before kings,
But, the value of your gift,
Many are gifted,
Only a few adds value to their gifts.

Soak your gift in the pull of value,
Nobody loves a raw food,
Cook your gift,
Then King will stand up for you.

The world needs you,
But not the crude you,
Fine the crude you,
Make yourself tasty for the world.

In a Nutshell;
Dear youth, you have great potentials, God has loaded you with graces but there's need for you to develop yourself.
      Something happened after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ, God needed who is well grounded in Jewish law and passionate, who would take the gospel of Christ to the gentiles. Guess who was prepared for that, it was Dr Paul who later turned apostle Paul.  He had in his youthful age developed himself and while an excellent doctor of law was needed, God hand picked him out of many other (ordinary) doctors.
       No matter how huge what you have, if you don't maximize, expand and develop or add value to it, it can not sell.

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....
