LIFE IS A BED OF ROSES.

A butter fly is one of the most adorable insect on earth. It’s a lover of flower, beautiful and scented one to be precise. Anywhere you see a beautiful flowering plant, there you will see a butterfly either playing with the petals or sucking the nectars.

It’s no longer a news that rose is one of the most beautiful flower in the Universe. It is adorned with beauties. Hence, cynosure of all eyes and insects. But despite this beauty rose is full of thorns.

Butterfly is a lover of beautiful flowers, of which rose is one. How can butterfly perch on rose to suck nectar without getting injured and damage being done to it wings?

How can a guy have chance to speak to a pretty girl whose father is a soldier that doesn’t condone nonsense from anyone? Then, the guy needs to apply wisdom. Winks

It’s a common saying that, “life is not a bed of roses,” People usually say this because they believe life is full of challenges. And indeed it is. They believe that living life to the fullest require a lot of energy and determination.

Today I put it to you that life is a bed of roses full of thorns. The life is a beautiful place and all things rightly positioned in their respective places. Fish for sea, land for human and sky for birds, etc.

If you take the panoramic view of life, you will see the beauty that has been endowed upon it. All things bright and beautiful the Lord God made them so. Amidst all beauties are many challenges of life. If you want to be great in life you have a price to pay.

Nothing goes for nothing. We humans are like butterflies while rose symbolizes life.

Therefore getting the beautiful things of life is not by power because if you try so hard you will get injured. And if you are scared of the thorns (i.e. challenges of life), you won’t get out of your comfort zone. You won’t take risk because of the fear of getting injured (i.e. failure). And once you are afraid of taking risk, you can’t get anything out of life. Because life is a bed of roses full of thorns. The thorns are symbolic to the challenges of life. Don’t try so hard getting the best out of life need not lots of energy but lots of strategy in order not to wear out in the race of life.

We are like butterflies, the World is a bed of roses full of thorns. So, for us to get our nectar and play with the petal, we need not try so hard.

Only our faith in God coupled with determination is enough for us to get the best out of life.

Till we next time. Keep being good and keep being you.

I remain my humble self, AKERELE ODUNAYO SAMUEL.

IT MATTER

IT MATTER! The topic to be discussed today is ‘it matter’, but the question is, what matters? Join me as we look into this deeply. When I was in secondary school my Agricultural science teacher taught us then GERMINATION and the factor responsible for growth. Some of the factors are: viable seeds, moisture or water, nutrient (soil) and air (oxygen) When I meditatively considered these factors I realized that not even one out of them is un-important. If any of them isn’t available then the seed growth or germination is in jeopardy. Applying this into our lives’ journey as humans, it is evident that some factors also responsible for our own growth in every endeavors of life. Some take this serious while some others don’t. When I say growth I do not mean increase in the number of age. Neither do I mean increase in stature. We grow in business, career, and ministry and so on. For us to grow in life we need to take these factors seriously. For instance the viabil...

I PROPOSED A DECEIT

I was born when the time was still partially measured by the throaty crow of the cocks. When if cock refuses to crow, the time was measured by the height of shadow. I can still very much remember how my father would say the time is three o'clock in the afternoon because the shadow had reached a certain height on the wall in our backyard. Sometimes I was wowed at the level of his intelligence. He didn't mark that particular spot on the wall and he never for once missed it. I tried doing but kept on missing it. Then, I used charcoal to Mark it. Isn't beautiful to say I also measured time by the height of shadow? Winks. My father was a farmer and partially a hunter. He was very diligent and good at what he does. He had cocoa, cola nut, plantain, yam, maize, cowpea, and rice farms. He was rich in goats, and different kinds of fowls. Apart from the fact that he uses labor we the children were also part of the labors employ on his farm. We worked all ye...

YOU TOO CAN BE BIASED

'My mother is the best mum in the world.' Are you conversant with this saying? I'm sure you do. I once disprove it, and you hear them saying I'm not talking about everybody but to me, my mother is the best in the whole world. This statement is biased. You see that point you pass judgment concerning a matter from your own point of view, you are biased. Like I said earlier the writers of the best mum in the world write based on who they think is the best mum in the world. Even though, she might not be the best. But as far as they are concerned she is the best. This is a biased judgment. Photo credit to Pixabay. Am I trying to point an accusing finger at people for being biased? No, but I'm directing my article to those who believe that they are not biased. People cook up stories just to favor their course because of their interest. They will go to any length to prove this, not because of anything but their interest. If there is anything humans...
