So, I decided to share my story how I strived with depression and how I overcame it. So, if you are depressed - this will help a great deal. What is depression? First and foremost what is "depression". Depression according to Wikipedia means "a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person's thoughts, behavior, feelings, and sense of well-being".  How my depression started? I woke up that fateful day and since I had no lectures that morning; I was in my room discussing with a room mate when a big bro of mine came looking for me. He sweet mouthed me, gave me several lectures upon lectures for me to invest in his so-called business. He told me I could always get my money back whenever I wanted it.

Later in the day, he gave me a form I filled and I was happy I invested my money not knowing I made a...

As an individual I strongly believe  things don’t just happen conventionally but they occur as a result of our cautious or incautious decisions or actions. For instance, a man who sits down in his house and prays all day doing nothing, trust me such a person will be the father of poverty. If as a lady your character is bad and your partner has been complaining, do something about it. Don’t just be like “I'm not perfect, if he loves me, he will have to keep up with all my flaws”. Hey, sister why not take responsibility to change your disastrous character. I am not saying it will be easy but trust me at the end you will be glad you did. Some persons major in asserting blames to others, i.e., they literally blame others for everything that happen to them. Keep blaming others ooo. Time will tell how far. Irrespective of who you are, where you are and what you do; if you are going to make progress in life, work or career you have to sit in the driver seat, fasten your seat be...

Sometimes I sit and wonder why I haven't found love Everyone else seems to get love without stress Yes I fall in love  But as the North is to the South So I'm to those I fall in love with Fear of heartbreak and regret The agony of having to let go scares my very heart I seek refuge in believing I'm strong and my time gonna come Jealousy, anger and bitterness dwells with me when I see a girl I love but could not approach taken away by another folk Everyday by day I keep searching for love that can fill my selfish and witless anger I just can't comprehend why love is hard to get You see two people so loved up and the next minute the glue of love is gone The people I seem to love don't love me I've found out many pretend to love you because of what they stand to gain from you What is love?

People passing by all dressed in various manner and fashion Drivers driving in various containers known as cars Noise of the busy city that never ends Citizens striving hard to survive Killings and discrimination everywhere Crime at it acme The poor looks up to the rich who in turn kicks them like a football aimed at the goal post Many people living below the standard of living Is there any hope for a better tomorrow? We all glamour and hope for a better tomorrow I think it's possible But is this how we are gonna wait for century upon century until this happens? I doubt so The so-called leaders of tomorrow being the youths ain't ready Selfishness and greed has become a normal thing Corruption is now hailed and exhorted Honest and hard-working people are usually working with no result to show Our society has changed a lot Oh where are the good old days where discipline is encouraged What we know is to criticize other religions Without us asking ourse...

This write-up has nothing to do with any religion. This is based on principles that is similar to successful people all over the world. The 3 steps to greatness include: 1. Goal Setting: An average man with hardwork and discipline that sets and pursues his goals will outstrip a man that has talent and does nothing. 2. Strong Belief System: If you don’t believe in yourself, don’t expect others to believe in you.      When you  look down on yourself , you shrink your self-image which in turn lowers your self-respect and drastically affect your self-worth.      Note: Attitude is the product of belief. The lion is the king of animals because of what he believes of himself. 3. Invest in yourself: Acquire knowledge; increase your information. Invest in yourself and as Sam Adeyemi would say Investment is the key to achievement.      Buy books and read them because the quality of your lif...
