Data Of Experience




Data Of Experience
What would I call this, the moments or the vacuums? Anyways, my merits wouldn’t matter for long. Losing important and necessary things and feeling like they are not lost is perhaps the most degrading things one should overcome and be done with.
A presidential thought in ragged feeble and indolent mind will remain a presidential thought without change if there is no hard-work. Did you know that, my mama in the village was a very good dancer? She had dreamt and thought about dancing for the presidency while growing up and leading the village dancers. Well, an opportunity came and that was fulfilled, she had actually danced for the governor of her state. She had worked hard, attended various traditional events and was well aware of the people’s choice in her line of art. I can only but imagine the lengthy practices she had done. My mother had told me that mama was praised and given a lot of gift and money after the dance. “She came home fulfilled” my mother would say each time she told the story. I learnt she continued to dance and also did other things before death stole her away. I came to conclude, that she was quite good and impacting in her society and at her craft.
‘Opportunity’ as formerly said, ‘Comes but once’. With all definitive views, opportunity stays with us daily begging that we use them to excel. The perplexity of life shouldn’t make our minds dwindle to a myopic view of success. Success is so large and accommodating that today, you only need to study the hard work and rigour of other successful people, do your own home work and hard work on your craft and excel in simplicity. Studying works of successful people doesn’t mean doing exactly what they did to become successful. Finding a creative niche in line with whatever you are studying will definitely make you a success. Instance, my ‘domicile A’ brother in the electrical engineering department loves light. He studies Thomas Edison decidedly, he does all mistake Thomas Edison had done, before doing the right experiment that produced bulb light. My ‘domicile B’ brother rather did the last experiment which provided the light and creatively improved and redesigned the bulb lights, while A was busy having so many experiences that were ‘not so’ necessary. My ‘domicile B’ brother’s bulb was graciously accepted as further improvements continued in the bulb production. The experience a man exhumes in line of duty is entirely his clear understanding of his duty, and the getting of understanding is via wisdom. Wisdom is therefore, the principal thing.
It is just so unfortunate that most people still behave and think like my ‘domicile A’ brother. Perhaps he thought making the same mistakes Thomas Edison made would aid deeper understanding. The question therefore to ask is, why should I dwell on the mistakes successful people had made, when I can enrich myself with methods used for their successes. It is a fact that, lessons learnt via mistakes made and setbacks encountered will shape you better for quicker solution to challenges. However that would be a major mistake on our part, if we dwell on people’s mistakes, when they had moved on becoming very successful. Mistakes made by successful people while on the journey to their successes should be “our” wisdom. You can research, develop and creatively invent things with the right persistence, hard work, faith and focus, but please, do not construe your mindset to believing that being on a particular level for a longer period with the belief system that ‘experience’ is the best. It is actually, delay in disguise. This does not permit you or your craftsmanship either, not to be well cooked before being presented. Affirmation from your spirit about a passion should be paramount on anything you do. Excitement will be seen even when failing.
“Do not rush into anything, yet do not permit negative ambience on experience overshadow your mind as to lingering unnecessarily on a stagnant point” Make your work be the best there is. Be certain that, “Your mistakes on your invention make you the author and successor of your invention” you alone can write the success story, thereby, it becomes greater wisdom for others. Experience will be an opening to more knowledge, that’s all. Wisdom is the guide, the work on the experience and the solution to million challenges.
Evolve within, in your mindset and thought. Then, your work and action will evolve greatly for the better world and success there in.

POEM: DOWN AND OUT

Down and Out Who cares to notice the penniless? Who cares how they became ripen? Griping you to their desperate chest, So jamed and bashed crossing to beg, Limps and crawls from spot to spot. . My chest flames to such doleful pleas, Clutching hooves strolling thier way, Smokes my heart to hear them cry out, ‘‘Oh how will I succeed, Oh how do I live?” “I crave you with every breath I got in me” Old and weary, young and lanky, Resting beneath bridges for warmth,  Feasting on scrap wearing tatters, Without buddies, no family, nor us, No one seem to see or care little. Having nothing that matters to the rich, Pleased with what they receive with hope,  From break to night, twenty four seven, Lay noisy tummys by slumpy gutters, If they disappeared who cares where to? Miserable basking on side walks, Faces pale like out of oxygen for days, Targets of hunger, cold and epidemic, A smile can warm a paupers lifetime, Let them in, they knock, share your little.

POEM: COULD I BUT SHOW YOU

COULD I BUT SHOW YOU                 Could I but show you how a word can grow into a thorn that lodges deep within? The softest places of the hardest men, you wouldn't be so quick to let one go. In silences, defenceless and alone, security and self-esteem descend; ambitions cease and aspirations bend in the victims of a fatal verbal blow.                     If I could show you how a word can rise - bring laughter, bring excitement, bring rapport, bring nations out of poverty and war - perhaps your speech would seek a different guise. What problems of this world could be deterred if we revered the value of a word?            By Corey Harvard

The Much We Know It is such a wonderful phenomenon that as human we exist in our own worlds, with different beliefs, reasons and characters, yet in all these differences , decisions made does not only affect the maker of this decision but also the society at large. Generally, man works to be successful and well respected, either working to positively or negatively affect the society. Even that individual who does nothing at all will be successful in nothing, these things pays off on the society either consciously or unconsciously. For instance the killing of a single man in an area in a community affect everyone in that area and the whole community negatively in terms of creating of fear in the hearts of the individuals in that community and when there is provision of an essential amenity in a community which is generally positive, such community will be effected positively too, people will be happy and hopeful for more positive outcomes. The consciousness of man helps make deci...
