To think of being much without doing much is to find your life’s efforts a waste. Likewise, to dream of doing much without being much.

Are you willing to become the person you desire to be?

An adage goes like this, ‘when things get more difficult, be more determined than ever to succeed’. This implies that no matter how tough it is out there we are encouraged to keep pushing because it is only through determination that we can succeed. When the odds are against us, it is very tempting to choose the easiest way out – to give up. When we give up, we will never know what lies at the other end of the ocean. Also, when we are afraid, we give ourselves all sorts of reasons to stop trying.

I read an article which said that African hair is thick and tightly curled in order to protect the skull from excessive heat. Elsewhere, someone wrote that the compulsory cutting of hair in many African schools is linked to colonialism – a way to control the African identity. African hair comes in various textures ranging from rough to silky. It can also grow beyond the buttocks, whether silky or kinky. Take Daddy Showkey’s hair for instance. This blog post will discuss ways to manage the “thick, woolly” - according to my social studies textbook - type, which for a long time, many blacks have been ashamed of.

I believe everyone was born with talent, yet m any people die without activating them .  As children, we are loaded with our true personalities, our calling, and a deep connection to the creative force. But as we grow older, we tend to forget who we were as children and who we are created to be.  In pursuit of academic qualifications, climbing up the career ladder, or competing with others, we often forget that life is filled with endless possibilities and we all came into this world alone, with special gifts - our talents - something we are very good at, that comes naturally to us . Our gift and service to humanity. Most successful people who walked this earth; regardless of being early or late bloomers, their
