Thought Therapy

The past  2 months , I have been readjusting myself to school and so far I can't complain about the series of assignments that keep coming my way because that's basically the norm.I have 2 CATs this week and am already switched to christmas-holiday mode!!But... what  good will it do me if i rant about my assignments and assessments instead of getting them done...soooo..let me skip to the dilemma that am having. Recently I was sitting in a lecturer room  "keenly" listening  to a company rep pitch about his company, all i wanted to know was whether they were offering internships or not .I didn't care much about  how many branches they had or what new business strategies they were using..in short, most of us showed up because we want internships that eventually lead to having a career. My ears slowly came alive when  one of the speakers started saying that good grades don't really matter once you start looking for a job and that you can get by just by knowing

“Courage doesn’t always roar, sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow”                                                               Mary Anne Radmacher Sometimes you surf the internet mindlessly until you get something useful and you can't help but pat yourself on the back for spending so much idle  time .The quote above by Mary Anne Radmacher reminded me of  a very somber poem that I had written and I had  felt very  guilty about writing  because it was too depressing! Give me another today I read a page today, Telling me that today is never like yesterday Telling me that all I had was today But my today feels like a repeat.. Nothing changes and all  I have left is this heart beat. I haven’t won a battle, I haven’t won a title… I have nothing but today I have nothing but today I want it to change, I don’t want today I want someth

Stuck-up high, yet you see nothing below Only a  half-sided view Stuck up-high,yet feeling so low To see nothing in something All because you are stuck up high on that high-horse. I never get to write down the things that I don’t like or the things that get me really annoyed because of two reasons:1)what good will it do venting out my frustrations in text?am hardly good at venting them out in person                                     2) it’s very hard to write down everything!! But…there’s always that one exception and I have to put it   down in writing.I   don’t like proud people!! I didn’t say hate, I said “DO NOT LIKE” simply because I can tolerate them   even when they   annoy me. In my opinion and out of the people I have met,there are two categories of proud people,both of which are not all too positive depending on how you look at it.Type 1 is the “am-too-good-for-you” type whose pride always puffs them up and they t

"It burns and it hurts!" That's the  start of a poem i couldn't finish writing until i stepped outside today and literally kept repeating those words in my head..it’s my incessant complains about this hot menacing sun that I wish would just disappear even just   for a day!!I rarely complain ( am an African bred by the heat of the sun ,hence I know not of sunscreen) Once you  step outside and you end up regretting why you came out in the first place, and you can’t help but wish for the rains. So as I dream of the next rainy season, I have to bear with the heat! All this weather wishes got me thinking about something my mum always says ( I never know how much she affects my life until I start writing things down) “Humans never get satisfied” in mother-tongue it sounds more like a wise saying than a gluttonous phrase. In other words, we humans never seem to be content with anything. When we get what we want, we still want something else and what we have ne
