WHAT A GOOD FATHER?

Here on earth there are many fathers but my dad is above all.
He is always very kind to me.
He always do to me things that make me happy.
He is a very respectable father because he always respect himself.
For every opinion that we give out, he apreciate it.
He filters his words as he talk & does not make me unhappy at all.
He is a handsome man .
He is the best father I have ever seen

MATCHING WITH LIFE CHANGES

I was sitting with my mother at home chatting about changes that are taking place in our day today life experiences. Surprisingly, it was too hard for me to convince her that we should cope with modern life. No sooner had I finished explaining to her than she interrupted me. "what are you saying now? Don't you see that these modern changes are contradicting our tradition facts?. That you can't do what our ancestors used to do?." she said all these while standing and I thought she had gone mad.
"Mother, you should understand that life is matter of creativity. You don't follow what dead peaple used to do or what others are forcing you to do. you do things out of your own will".
***
Modern life is a matter of creativity. We have to match with new changes as long they involve innovation and creativity. BE CREATIVE AND EXPLOIT THE WORLD'S RESOURCES RESPONSIBLY

EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER

There are thing that makes us feel desperate, sad, afraid, surprised and amazed .People go through difficulties which makes them feel lonely and disappointed .One may fail in this in problems without his her concern.
.Last Friday when Brazil had a match with Netherlands we were escorting our friend past seven in the evening .That was something that I was not used to but it forced me. My parent tried to sooth her to sleep home but she disagreed with them so, my sister and I decided to take her home.
On our way home, we saw a beam of light at a far distance. We couldn’t see clearly because it was too dark .My feelings could not let me move on, but my friend kept on encouraging me. As we were approaching the gate, we suddenly heard somebody behind us. ‘Stop! Stop! Or else I skin you alive,’ a harsh voice came from behind. We let out a loud scream that cut through aerial silent that had roomed the area. My friend’s parent came armed for a safety. The strange man ran away helter shelter after he heard them coming.
We couldn’t go home that night till morning because of fear. From that day I never dared to walk at night.

HURRY HURRY HAS NO BLESSINGS.

Sometimes people wake up in bad mood and being stressed. Sometimes it is difficult to get a person without mental anguish. Most of the students get stressed and you would see them in class thinking instead of concentrating.When people grow old they become forgetful, and sometimes make mistakes.
This happened to one of my classmates who did a funny thing. She woke up late and wanted toget to school early. She had 20 minutes to prepare herself, take breakfast and rush to school.she prepared herself in a hurry and swiftly got into the dinning table.
In there,got her mum who served her the tea.There were two containers of sugar and salt on the table.The containers were same in colour. Due to her hurry she took the container containing salt and put one spoonful of the salt in the tea. Guess what? mmmmh.....the tea was too bitter!!! She rushed outside and spat it. she washed the cup and repeated the same mistake again.She had no alternative but to go to school without breakfast.
We should be accurate in all our doings.we should be sober always. We always mess up because of carelessness. Remember always the adage that states " Hurry Hurry Has no Blessing".
