Guest Post: Viaje De La Vida by Opeoluwa Odeyemi

So I happened to observe my colleague reading an article one day and I got interested. Minutes later into reading it, I was practically absorbed into that state of deep thoughts about some decisions I'd made. I made a request to speak with the author so I could publish it here. Few mails later, below is the wonderful article by our guest writer, Opeoluwa! Enjoy... You are justified by what you see, how you believed in it and the fact that you worked towards it. You are justified by what you become; for the just shall live by faith. Paulo...

Work at home wife vs Working Class Wife?

Without much ado, I'd just like you to carefully read the outcomes of a poll I conducted yesterday on BBM with a small sample size of 17 people (ages 21-26). It all started with a thought of what kind of wife would be most suitable for child development. Then I threw it open to people who I believe would in a few years/months plan to tie the knot. I was glad I did. Enjoy... I asked the guys what choice of wives they'll prefer... GUYS 1. Age 22,...

One Last Time...Valentine edition

The lights came on again for the umpteenth time, spilling out from the room into the thick darkness outside. It had begun to rain. Rivulets of rain-water trickled on the surface of the frosted glass as the rain's rhythmic drumming on the rooftop of the bungalow and occasional roar of thunder made Anjola shiver in fear.  Anjola, seven, with brown eyes, had her hair in a ponytail as she twirled it round her finger on her way to the living...

What do you know about Silicon Valley?

I watched a very inspiring video today on Justin.TV. It's an interview that was held with one of the Who's Who in Silicon Valley talking of Mark Zuckerberg. He really touched the 'binary' side of me and I just couldn't resist doing a post on it. Our main focus anyway would be on Silicon Valley. Many of you know something or much about it or maybe you just know it's a place where those 'big elite' Tech companies reside. You're right in a way...

Torch-Explorer?

Let's talk. It's been a while you know. How well have you spent this year? Okay here's a checklist since I can't get feedback. On a scale of 1-10, hw would you rate your year goals that have been achieved? How many books have you read? How many lives have you impacted? How close have you been to God? By the end of this note I hope to get you stirred up. I subscribed to John Maxwell's daily teachings and so far they've helped me a great deal...

Before you throw the Mortarboard

This was something I wrote for the Graduating Class of my Alma Mater. It was originally posted on FB and sparked off so many feedback mails and comments of people that were blessed. So here's it for your perusal. You'll enjoy it. So I decided after much postponement and deliberation to write this note. I initially was to make it a testimonial/interview of a sort with real-life views from various people (which would come later) cuzpeople seem...

After the Bruise

I'll skip the cliche intros and just get to hit the nail straight on the head. Disclaimer: Any unnecessary words used here is not unintentional, it is purposely intended to actually bring out the reality of this life we call our world. Now let's go on an imagination ride. Imaginations are good sometimes you know. Now imagine a little child crawling, say 10 months old, then he tries to get up. He fumbles a few steps and then crashes down. (Loud infant cry). Parent comes and picks him up, pats him and the cry stops. Now the child falls and is...
