your best,its time to move on. ''


moral
''''''''''''
The only way to achieve is to go through trials.When we undergo hard
times, giving up is not an option.Getting up all the time and
comforting yourself is.

However, we have to realise that not all things are achievable unless
we have an open mind.Open minds help in creating a positive attitude
even in the face of failure.This is because there are many doors to
success in our lives.
As wisemen say, dont be drunk with deceit to close your eyes and deny
yourself an opportunity just beside you.

Did you know?(Jesus lineage and truth of his birthplace)

The place where Jesus was born (Bethlehem) was once called
Ephrath?Ephrath is the name Jacob gave to the place where his wife
Rachel died.

Jacob was the son of Isaac and Isaac the son of Abraham and Abraham.

Some of us may wonder why all this stuff I have written if you aint
non-christian. The truth is that we are near the eve of
christmass!!Here is a brief but long insight on Jesus lineage.

Abraham ''father of faith''
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Abraham was the father of Isaac whom the Lord our God asked to
sacrifice Isaac his only child.Something unique about Isaac was that
he was born when the parents(Abraham and Sarah) were in their late
90's. This was after Abraham had asked and prayed to God in earnest,
many years, relentlessly, for a child.

After some time, when Isaac had grown older,the Lord asked Abraham to
offer his only son for
Him.Isaac without any opposition although feeling hurt went ahead with
the ceremony.N/B:in the Old Testament(part of Bible before Jesus life
and ministry begins i.e new testament).Just when holding a knife to
kill the boy, God's angel stopped him.It was a test of faith for which
God appeared to him in a dream and named him ''the father of faith and
blessed his descendants, for whom the Lord promised salvation from the
Egyptians(that is where Moses comes in to rescue the Israelites).''

Jacob's blessings
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Isaac's sons were Jacob and Esau.Jacob was a good cook whereas Esau
was a hunter.One day Esau came home hungry from hunting and needed
food.Jacob refused but only accepted his birthright so Esau sold his
birthright to Jacob.Later, Jacob who had no hair before his father's
death, wore hairy skin to pretend to be Esau and was given all
blessings, a trick which the mother pointed out.

Jacob was termed by God as Israel and became the father of 12 sons
which form Israel today.It was then Jacob's wife Rachael who died when
they were travelling, at a place he named Ephrath which is
Bethlehem,the birthplace of Jesus.

King David achievements
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
From there, Jesus descended from King David who was the greatest king
ever to live in Israel.It is King David who won victories against
Israel's enemies and who's heart was almost as God's but not, becaused
he had killled many in war .Other acts of David include killing the
giant Goliath with a small stone and sling whilst still a teenager
N/B: (after all Israelite soldiers had feared such a giant) and
killing lions and predtors trying to feed on his father's sheep at a
young age.

King Solomon achievement
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
The lineage of David bore great Kings and men such as King
Solomon,David's son whom God gave wisdom and riches which God claimed
that none in the face of the earth would reach.His books in the Bible
include proverbs,psalms and songs of solomon.Hint: a must read in
order to be wise.

Jesus then through Joseph in the New Testament was a descendant of
King David.These are the reasons from the background why Jesus is
termed as the King,and Son of God.He came from a lineage of kings and
God chosen men.

I have compiled all these stories from the Bible so that readers to
appreciate and understand Jesus as a person.Just as all great people
came from great personalities e.g. Obama's father,Jesus too came from
very great men in the world.

My recommended book is Revised Standard Bible.Book of Exodus and Kings
or just google the great names mentioned in their order.

George Washington

Quote of the day
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'' Destiny has the control of our actions which cannot be resisted by
strongest efforts of human nature. ''

Thought of the day
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
This can be true to some extent but also not totally true.There are
are many human beings out there with undesirable destinies but have
been successful men and women.

People great as King David in the Bible were the most despised but
became kings.Apostle Paul,whose initial work was to kill or sentence
to jail Christ's believers ended up being a staunt preacher of the
gospel and united the church believers in working together to spread
the Gospel.

Therefore, destiny can be changed if you have firm faith in yourself
and courage to go through all trials.

Dealing with stress(combative techniques and actions)

Stress~A humuan being's reaction to an environmental condition or
stimuli.Stimuli could be positive or negative and are factors around
us apart from environmental conditions.

In simple words, stress is anything which affects both our mental and
physical state negatively or positively.

Here are some tips on how to combat, manage and deal with stress when
it strikes.

Find out the causative agent
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
The importance of this action is to determine the source of your
worries or problems.

It is similar to the way military personel fight against the
enemy;find the commander inorder destroy or disintegrate the rebelling
army.

Meditate
'''''''''''''''''''
Take time to relax your mind.Do not make any rush decisions that could
deteroriate your mind further.Meditation is a good way to manage anger
and find solutions to any problem.

Think ahead
''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Put more effort in determining possible dangers of your actions before
encountering them.It gives you a scheme and layout to prepare youself
for self-defense.As the saying goes, ''look before you leap'' or
''dont be a sheep to follow flock where they go for they might be
entering a lion's den when the shepherd is away.''

Use common sense
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Ever been annoyed that somebody cant think on even the simplest of
stuff?It pisses you off,doesnt it?Avoid ignoring or despising somebody
or something;It may be in form of getting extra money, taking your
girlfriend out or table manners. These easy-to-do stuff may be
opportunities to success and can hunt you later in life on realising
what you lost.

Do a lot of exercises
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Sitting down on a couch does more harm than good.It is a source of
more worries and breeds diseases such as stroke.Remember that taking a
run or ride on your bike revitalises and increases blood flow thus
enabling you to handle more mental-work.

These are some of the solutions.More will come later as you keep on
visiting the site.

Neil Armstrong

Mystery creates wonder/amusement and this amusement is the foundation
of a man's desire to understand.


Interpretation
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
The challenges we face today are like mysteries.These challenges
enable us to have deep thoughts .Deep thoughts are like wonders.

The more we try to seek solutions is when we realise later in our
success that nothing is impossible if you have the desire to solve it.

Moral
'''''''''''
Have a desire to find out answers to your problems.This will give you
the upperhand in dealing with any misfortune arising from such a
problem.

Did you know? (importance of quotes)

Sugary foods and stress reduce your thinking capability,dont
they?Sudoku helps you in developing problem solving techniques, doesnt
it? If all this is true, what about a motivating quote a day? If
meditated upon, is key to improving your IQ.An improved reasoning
pro-assists in cultivating good morals and solving social issues.

Reading a quote and meandering its maze of solution, will broaden your
thinking and improve your self-esteem.The more you understand what
other people have been going through, the more you realise what a
special human being you are.Emulating some of their good deeds will be
more benefitial and taking note of some of their misfortunes.

We learn from experience but a person who learns from the experience
of others, grows stronger spiritually and emotionally.This is a fact
and provides the basis of a good life.

The experience and life most historical men and women lived brings us
back to our senses.They have a message , to the present and
forthcoming generation. ''Fail where we failed but succeed where we
did and did not.''

yours and my own lifestyle and in the end bring forth a happy

Focusing your life on making money, is a lack of ambition.It asks too
little of yourself. Only when you try something greater than yourself
is when you realise your full potential.

Factbkl: Oscar Wilde

Factbkl: Oscar Wilde: Men want to be a woman's first love,however women want to be a man's
last romance.

Steve Jobs

You have a limited time, dont waste it living another person's life or
looking at results of other people's thinking nor let your inner voice
be lost with other people's views but have the courage to follow your
own heart.

Oscar Wilde

''If you cannot think for yourself then you dont think at all.'' ~ Oscar Wilde

Moral
''''''''''''
Listen to what others say but do not follow all that they say.This is
reminds to think first, before taking any affirmative action.The
wisest of all men King Solomon attests to this fact from the book of
proverbs 12:18:''reckless words pierce like a sword but the tongue of
the wise brings healing.''

This is particularly true, in a society filled with unruly men and
women.They always go against the good order created in society.Such
are the likes of drug addicts, pornstars and many others. They pretend
to be the most happy, with the best lives only to be investigated and
found as the most mentally disturbed.

The only way to escape traps from peers and mates is to listen and
measure their opinions. An individual should take care to ensure that
what they accept as truth, is in tandem/in line with their goals. I
would view a person's opinions this way; Is it going to affect me
positively or negatively? What are future consequences? Whether to
approve or not, always determines upcoming events of our lives.

Oscar Wilde

Men want to be a woman's first love,however women want to be a man's
last romance.
