Problem is beyond NOT reading and understanding- it is a MIND/PSYCHE thing, COGNITIVE LIMITATIONS! Just read what our YOUNG AFRICANS post on SOCIAL MEDIA,the insults, the vulgar trash, the unintelligible things they post even when their exposure and educational capacities don't measure up, but JUST POST. They even support things which clearly work against their own INTERESTS. We SPEND HOURS AND HOURS SHARING OUR FAMILY SECRETS AND PERSONAL INSENCURITIES on these platforms, etc...Now, juxtapose it with how the JAPANESE PEOPLE (15-79 years) behave on SOCIAL MEDIA, 👇, and the difference will hit you like HAMMER, brother! So,
It is basically a MIND/BRAIN thing,CULTURAL thing; boils down to COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT DUE TO COLONIALITY! And Africans seem not to take this seriously,sadly! But who can? These types of leaders? I have variously written why this is so; I won't tire, going to write again, and again.....

Speaking about the deep contradictions in human nature, someone once said…

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one barely use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about the relatives still in their lives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have a partner often fail to appreciate them. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the full complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.

The key to happiness is gratitude—to truly see and value what we already have, and to understand that somewhere, someone would give everything for what we take for granted.”

One of Einstein’s students asked him: “What does logic mean?”

Einstein said: “I will answer you with a question.”

“Suppose two workers enter a chimney to clean it. One comes out with a dirty face and the other with a clean face. Who will go wash their face?”

The student immediately and without hesitation replied, “Of course, the one with the dirty face.”

Einstein said: “Your answer is incorrect. The one who will wash their face is the one with the clean face, because he looked at his colleague’s face and assumed that his own face was as dirty as his colleague’s. The one with the dirty face will not wash his face, thinking it is clean like his colleague’s.”

The student said: “That is correct and logical.”

Einstein replied: “No, it is not correct, because the question itself is illogical. It is not logical for two men to enter the same chimney at the same time and for one to come out clean and the other dirty.”

In a few words, logic itself can collapse, so sometimes the problem is not in the answer but in the flawed question itself.

Expecting your kids to be 100% perfect?

You'll be disappointed every single day.

And your kids will be anxious wrecks afraid to try anything.

On the flip side:

Letting your kids do whatever they want with zero accountability?

You're raising entitled brats who will crumble the first time life tells them "no."

Neither extreme works.

Here's the balance:

1. SET HIGH EXPECTATIONS

Kids need a standard to aim for.

Not perfection. But excellence within their capability.

"I expect you to try your best."
"I expect you to be respectful."
"I expect you to clean up after yourself."

Give them something to reach for.

2. HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE

Expectations without consequences are just suggestions.

If they break the rule, there's a consequence. Every time.

Consistency is what builds respect.

They need to know: Dad means what he says.

3. ALLOW ROOM FOR MISTAKES

Here's the key: They WILL mess up.

Constantly.

Don't act surprised. Don't lose your temper.

They're kids. They're learning. Mistakes are part of the process.

Your job isn't to prevent failure. It's to teach them how to handle it.

4. TEACH RESILIENCE

When they fail:

Don't shame them.
Don't rescue them.
Don't ignore it.

Teach the lesson:

"What happened?"
"What did you learn?"
"What will you do differently next time?"

Then let them try again.

The formula:

Expect excellence.
Accept imperfection.
Build resilience.

That's how you raise strong kids who aren't afraid to fail and know how to get back up when they do.

A Cesarean section is the only major surgery in the world where:

Five to seven layers of tissue — skin, fat, fascia, muscle, and uterus — are carefully opened.

And A new life is lifted into the world — sometimes urgently, sometimes unexpectedly.

And within hours, the mother is told to stand, walk, and care for her newborn.

Six hours after surgery where stitches, staples, and deep incisions still burn — she is expected to:

Feed her baby

Change diapers

Bond through exhaustion

Sit up despite intense abdominal pain

And while healing, her body still goes through:

Contractions as the uterus shrinks back

Hormonal surges

Breast milk production

Emotional turbulence

Sleepless nights

Yet she keeps going — even when:

Laughing hurts

Sneezing hurts

Standing hurts

Sleeping hurts

Breathing hurts

Still… she does it.

Not because it’s easy.

Not because she feels ready.

But because her baby needs her.

And that — is strength.

To every C-section mom reading this:

You didn’t take the “easy way.”

You took the necessary way.

You chose life, safety, and love.

Your scar is not a mark of weakness —

✨ It is a silent badge of courage. ✨

Whether planned, emergency, or after hours of labor —

you brought a life into this world with bravery few will ever understand.

So hold your head high.

Rest when you need to.

Heal at your own pace.

And never forget:

You are strong.

You are enough.

You are a warrior.

Time feels different at 52 than at 25. My kids don’t need help tying their shoes anymore. There’s a quiet shift when you realize you’ve gone from being their entire world to becoming a chapter in their expanding life.

My father passed a few years ago. My mom passed when I was eleven. I live with the unfortunate truth of knowing exactly how many more moments I’ll have with them, and the number is zero.

I’d trade everything I’ve earned for one more hour with them.

Seneca said "Life isn’t short, we just waste it." I’ve wasted plenty. I’ve rushed when I should have slowed down. I’ve attended meetings that drained life instead of adding value. I’ve said yes when I should have kindly said no.

Marcus Aurelius said: “You could leave life right now.” One day you’ll wake up for the last time and not know it. That doesn’t depress me. It sharpens me. It brings everything into focus.

Mortality shows up quietly: a child outgrowing a phase, laughter at the dinner table evolving into deeper conversations, friends moving away as life reshuffles itself, opportunities you once assumed would always be there slowly fading.

I’m not trying to optimize every second. That’s a stress trap. I’m choosing what matters.

If I don’t want to spend time with someone, I don’t.
If something drains me, I drop it.
If I’m tired, I rest.
If one of my kids wants to talk, I close the laptop.
When I care, I go deep.

And here’s the upside: when I spend time with someone, they know I truly want to be there. I show up with more presence, more patience, more warmth. I connect more honestly. I feel more like myself because everything I’m doing is aligned with who I choose to be. I’m living by design, not by inertia.

I’ve lost money. I’ve made bad decisions. Money is replaceable, time isn’t.

Many people talk about urgency and clarity that mortality brings. My perspective is different: don’t treat time as a motivator — use it as a filter.

If I had ten good years left instead of forty, I wouldn’t retreat from life. I’d let go of more nonsense. I’d keep fewer grudges. I’d be slower to irritation and quicker to laughter.

Mortality is a filter. It quietly asks:
Is this how you want to spend today?
Is this conversation worth having?
Is this relationship worth nurturing?
Is this work worthy of your life-force?

I’ve had the very human misfortune of attending many funerals over the years. Don’t wait for tragedy to wake you up to what you already know.

The reminders are around you: in your relationships, your aging body, your memories, the irreplaceable moments that slip by unless you notice them.

“You have two lives, and your second life starts when you realize you only have one.”
– Confucius

When good things start to happen in your life, do yourself a favour; please stay quiet. You'll never regret moving in silence.

People don't want you to do better than them.

You will only inspire envy and jealousy to the surrounding people.

And you never truly know what someone is thinking.

They could be praising you for your aspirations but, behind your back, hoping you fail miserably.

Privacy is power.
