as a man thinketh

Do you believe that you are what you think, that as you thought is that is how you are. And you can also change yourself by changing the way you think.
I read this book AS A MAN THINKETH by James Allen and it’s a real eye opener on our thinking process. It’s a book that I will advise everyone to read and I bet you will enjoy this book as well as be inspired. This book had helped me to realize that our thinking process had an effect on our life and can determine the life we live. It determines our happiness, our success, our health, wealth. Our thinking process is more powerful than we think and if directed properly, we can live a fulfilled, healthy, rich and wealthy life, and we can help change the world we live in.
The book throw more light on the aphorism “as a man thinketh in his heart, so he is”.
The book shows that what we have in our heart manifest in our outward behavior. A man who doeth evil has evil thought in his heart and the man who has evil thought will seek to do evil. The hearth is like a field, whatever is sowed and cultivated in this field, that’s what you reap, a man who harbors thought of negativity will always attract to himself negative things, while the man who harbor positive thought will attract positive things to himself..

living life

Most time before I go to sleep, I usually take time to reflect, it can be on anything from what happen that day, on what I would like to do the next , just about anything that comes to my mind. When I am about to go to bed are one of the few times I have quite moment to myself, when I can have sometime to reflect.
Last night, my mind raced back to my first lecture in the university. I will always remember that lecture because my lecturer said something that day that really had me pondering. He said that life is made up of three stages - birth, living and death. Of these three stages we are only conscious of when we are living. As for birth, you surely can’t remember the first thing you saw or how you felt on that graceful day you came to this world. Then for death we surely can’t tell, not for now. So what we are really accountable for is how we live our life. We are not accountable for who our parents are, what religion we are born into or the place of our birth.
So I was pondering before I went to bed how I was living my life. I began to ask myself questions - was I living my life for me? Or was I living for people, doing what they expect me to do. Was I happy with what I am doing or I had let my passion slip away? How is my life affecting people around me? Do I make a positive impact on the people around me and my environment?
I believe we have one life and we should live it to the best we can, enjoying life the way we can, living life with passion and full of hope and we should have a positive impact on the people around us and our environment.

love has wing and can fly

Without you, life goes on
You can’t stop time,
But you have made it worthwhile.
You can’t change the weather,
But you have been my comfort.
You can’t change the imperfect world that we live in,
But thank God for people like you who made the imperfection worthwhile.
You are no super woman, you can’t save the world,
But you surely made a difference in my life.
Life may not be a bed of roses,
But with you life is a bliss.
You are no superstar,
But to me you are the only star shining.
You love is true,
As true as the sun rising in the morning.
You love is pure,
As pure as the smile of a baby.
Your love is certain,
As certain as the sun.
To have love you is to know what love really is.
And to have lost your love is to know what it feels like to be loved.
But thank God, I can say I know what true love is.


Love has wing and can fly. Love should not be thrown to wind, it might just fly away.

life is a just employer

Today I took time to reflect on what I posted last on my blog, that’s the difference between the poor and the rich. And I took a look at where I live to study the life of the rich and poor. I came up from my own perspective the difference between the poor and the rich
The rich not only work harder but they also work smarter. The rich are innovative, they move with the time(in this computer age, most of the poor people are not literate)
The rich are good at saving and investing.
the rich are idealistic
The rich are goal getter. They set goals and go for them.
The rich are not lazy. They don’t just sit around all day.
They seek expert advice on what ever venture they go into.
The rich are good risk taker.
The rich had belief in themselves
The rich don’t think impossible , they only see possibility
The rich are opportunist; they take advantage of any slight opportunity that comes their way.

For I have come to understand that life is a fair judge though it may dealt us different cards. But life gives to those who have the desire, passion, skills and have worked hard. Life may not have offer everyone the same chances, but it surely gave us a way out: for as a man makes his bed, so he shall lie on it and as a farmer sow his seed and tend his farm properly, so one day he will harvest and reap the fruit of his labor.
Life gives to those who are willing to work, who have the desire and passion to succeed and improve themselves.


I bargained with life for a penny
And life would pay me no more.
How ever I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store

For life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had ask of life,
Life would have willingly paid

the attitide of the rich and poor nations

To reflect and . . .act
The difference between the poor countries and the rich countries is not the age of the country.
This can be shown by countries like India and Egypt that are more than 2000 years old and are poor.
On the other hand, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand that are 150 years old are inexpresive, today are developed countries and are rich.
The difference between poor and rich countries does not reside in the available natural resource.
Japan has limited territory, 80% mountainous inadequate for agriculture and cattle raising, but this is the second world economy. The country is like an immense floating factory, importing raw materials from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.
Another sample is Switzerland, which does not plant Cocoa but has the best chocolate of the world. In its territory, they raise animals and plant the soil during four months per year. That enough they produce dairy products of the best quality. It is a small country that transmit an image of security, order and labor which made it the world’s strong safe.
Executive from rich countries who communicate with their counterparts in poor countries show that there is no significance difference in intellect.
Face or skin color are also not important. Immigrants labeled lazy in their country of origin are the productive power in rich European countries.
What is the difference then?
The difference is the attitude of the people framed along the years by the education and the culture.
On analyzing the behavior of the people are rich and developed countries. We find that the great majority follows the principle in their life
1) Ethics as a basic principle
2) Integrity
3) Responsibility
4) Respect of the law and rulers
5) Respect of the rights of other citizen
6) Work loving
7) Strive for saving and investments
8) Will of super action
9) Punctuality
In poor countries only a minority follow these basic rules of life.
We are not poor because we lack attitude.
We lack the will to comply with and teach functional principle of the rich and developed societies.
If you love your country, let the message circulate for a major quantity of people and reflect about this and change.

love nad understanding

To love, to hate are humans emotion. At times I wonder how one goes from love to hate. I had seen it happen many times, when people fall in love and they fall out of love hating each other so much you begin to wonder if these were the people that were so happy with each other.
One thing I had noticed is that when we first fall in love as humans we are blind to many things about our spouse that we see only the reason to be with them. We noticed their beautiful smile, lovely set of teeth, the way they smile etc and all this make you feel happy and want to be with that person. But as time goes on you begin to notice some things in your spouse that you don’t like and if they are not tolerable to you, you begin to dislike your spouse. Of course these are not the only reason why love turns sour; we have the trust issue, the cheating and so on. But it all bound up on not being able to tolerate you r spouse.
Let’s get something right, love is not just the things that make you happy, it’s not just the happy times only. Love is when we can tolerate one another and look past one’s lapses and be able to live with each other fault and lapses. Love is when we are able to be with that person when they need us, love is when you look beyond beauty. Love is tolerable, selfless, giving, forgiving, appreciative, understanding, considerable, and free and makes you happy and fulfilled. Love is not wicked, is not bondage, is not forceful, not for sale, doesn’t bring sadness, love is not negative.
We should try to love for the right reason because only then can we feel fulfilled and happy. Lets live life full of love and understanding.

taking check

Its been fourteen days to the new year and I think its too early to check yourself if you are going on about the goals you had set for yourself but I just think I should do a check on what I had done so far and if I had with the goals I set two weeks to the new year.
Prior to the new, I made a promise to myself that I would set a blog site and I would enroll for a programming class two weeks to the new year. That was my short term goal. Well I had started blogging, that’s good, but I had not enrolled for the programming class and come to think of it, there is no good reason why I have not done that. I do hope I don’t want to go on procrastinating like I did last year. So today I will get out and go and register before I do anything else.
I have come to realize to always put things in check, that way you can get things check and be able to know where you are lacking behind. I now write what I want to do on paper, that way I can check myself and I know I must be compel to get them done just to see a good result on my check list. I read about this trick from a book, I cant remember the book but the trick seem good and applicable and it helps one to keep to time.
