Looking at him as he whispered with the left side of the mouth on his hospital bed, we all prayed. He was sick, and had suffered a stroke that left his left side immobile. I had just gained admission into a higher institution, and more than before I understood the role of a father in my life. I remember the last time I came home barely two months that I went to school, we had a fight, I was hurt by his words, but I knew they were momentary, he would soon call me and we would laugh it off. True to my thoughts, he called and complained I move about like an owl; and in defiance of his joke he looked at my mother. I knew it was a comparison joke and that elicited a laugh from me and a heavy frown from my mother. She was “happily- angered” by his incessant jokes and the rub on her, but such was his ways; Jovial, good provider, friendly, great, generous and principled. One thing was missing though; he never said it all. I can’t call it secretive as every other ...

Time is a natural phenomenon Yet some do not believe the intentions of time for our lives Winners have not used time, They have obeyed the tick of every trick of it. Losers have used time to their judicious failing Time will tell, how we spend every moments of our lives Time will tell our struggles Time will tell our pains Time never talk about our success It doesn’t need to Success reflects itself on the times we have spent either ugly or beautiful times; time is a success - time is a failure We can't recycle wasted time; Bottles filled with sorrowful water Cannot filled an empty stomach there is a time for every fail time for every success, time for every opportunity, time for freedom, time for decision, time for laughter, time for choices, time for changes, time for chances, time for risk above all there is time to make time Time is ugly Time is our cause Time is a curse The ugly for every beauty Remember…Believe…Knowledge…Opportunities (Pink Ambition) Funmi Akerele

The idea of being decisive and taking courage along your journey in life despite the griping fear that  could disrupt success or ovation is often a huge task for most people. One proposition about success is that it can work without fail or work itself out; while a little degree of that may be true, nevertheless success can overtime appreciate due to self driven values put to outline or highlight it. Every success is contoured by tangible and intangible values applied with right attitude, positive vibes, talent and the extraordinary that makes it exceptional. Life tells different success stories but we are honoured with a successful life when we put a great deal of work into it; when we conscientiously work the value we want to see and such values that  people can learn from.  Little wonder  that lives based on these premises are the great stories worth sharing and knowing. ...TARA  Tara Fela-Durotoye is a trained lawyer who pursued her dream...
