EARN TO PROTECT THE FUTURE OF YOUR CHILDREN

By
It began with a dream, a senseless dream in which I thought I was a man of means. From my belt hung a handsome purse, heavy with coin. There were shekels which I cast with careless freedom to beggars, there were pieces of silver with which I bought finery for my wife and anything I deemed best for me. There were pieces of gold which made me feel assured of the future and unafraid to spend the silver. A glorious feeling of contentment was with me, I don't think you would have known me.
 "why then do I know you?"

Protect your children by earning your portion first, let the money you earn work for you
Safeguard your future generation
Why indeed ! Because I awoke up and remembered how empty my purse was, a feeling of rebellion swept over me. As sail
ors we ride in the same boat we two. As youngsters we went together to the priest to learn some wisdom. As young men we shared each others pleasures. As grown men we have always been close friends we have been contented subjects of our kind. satisfied to work long hours and spend our earnings freely we've earned much coin in the years that have passed yet to know the joys that come from wealth we must dream about them. Are we more than dumb sheep? We live in the richest city in all the world . Travelers do say none equals it in wealth. About us there is much display of wealth yet we have it not. consider also our sons are they not following in the footsteps of their fathers? Need they and their sons and their sons' families live all their lives in the midst of such treasure of gold and yet like us be contented to banquet upon sour goats milk and porridge? I have labored to build the finest chariots any man could make, softhearted hoping some day the Gods would recognize my worthy deeds and bestow upon me great prosperity. This they have never done. Now I realize they will never do.

My heart is sad I want to be a man of means . I wish to own lands and cattle to have fine robes and coin in my purse. I am willing to work for these things with all the remaining strength in my back, with all the cunning in my mind, but I wish my labors be fairly rewarded. Why cannot we have our just share of the good things so plentiful for those with gold to buy them?
"Would I know the answer?"

EXCITED ABOUT YOU AT 25?

By
So, a close friend of mine suggested that I write about LIFE AT 25.(hey Clinton)  Well, I am not 25 - maybe not yet or already past it (guess you'll never know, lol). But come to think of it, there's so much to talk and write about it. One thing I know for sure is that most of us expect to have figured out everything (having a job,that dream car and a perfect life partner - name it all) by this age. People tend to feel so much pressure around this age. Society has a way to burden people with the many unnecessary expectations. Someone, actually at some point my boss, once told me, "If you won't have been married by age 25, forget about getting married!" Now all I could think of was finding me a boyfriend. What if no one wanted me? What if I end up having those creepy lonely nights without a husband? What will become of me without a complete perfect family of my own? What would people think about me? All this until one day I realized that 25 is ...

FACE IT AS IT IS

By
    Suppose you were a stage artiste and you were to play the role of a woman, though you are actually a man.   Don't be ashamed to call quits on bad habits      You would put on a woman's dress and wig, talk and perform like a woman. But you will not forget that you are a man at the end of the act.   You would eventually get off the stage and go back to the dressing room, change into your real clothes and walk down the street. When you set out to work on Monday morning, you will talk and live like a man. It would be ridiculous for you to go back to work talking and behaving like a woman, the way you did on your role play the other night. The same thing applies to you now. You acted in the wrong way before you knew it was wrong ( I'm not saying being a woman is a bad thing ) but now you have a new life that makes you differentiate the right from wrong. You have been playing the role of a woman for a long time and sometimes you ...

I AM QUEEN

By
  They are the most over-protective brothers in history. I often feel like I am queen and they are my personal guards,except that I can't order them around, like a queen. which hardly seems fair. Needless to say, they have never let me near enough to a boy to be in a relationship. This one time, one brother, George, said on me over a boy I had my first kiss with, as if a girl couldn't have enough trouble securing a boyfriend. { why I am using this photo, I do not know } And so now it was the first day of campus for me and I was ready for it. I mean who hasn't been ready for a great time in campus! I went to the living room and there he was, Merck. HIM: So are you ready to rock your life in campus? ME: Hell yeah, cant wait to see all the cute boys faces. HIM: No way! you cant talk to any boys except for Thomas. ( see now, Thomas you wonder who he is. Thomas is one of our brothers, at least we make it look like it. He actually i...
