The First Million

It is not in doubt that the second million is easier to make than the first. In fact, many people say the first million is the hardest to make. Back then when I was passing through the unemployment phase, a mentor of mine, advised me to start small saying “It is easier to get a job when you are engaged with a job”. Even Corporate Mach said something similar when he wrote that “It is easier to get a laptop when you already have a laptop” and he wasn't talking about laptops.

I am not going to talk about Tech or money. Just wanted to put it out there that I agree fully. Ever since I presented my manifesto to my beloved, to which she accepted, the greenlight I have received from young ladies has been overwhelming. A certain acquaintance of mine who took upon herself Jezebelian inclinations even went further graphically describe her desires of me. It was quite wild and I get a running stomach anytime I think about it. But that’s not the point.

The point is once you break even, things get progressively easier as you go forward. In conclusion, the moral of this story is never give up. Keep pushing until you reach that first million.

God's grace, subway surfers: what's the connection?

I was in church yesterday for Bible study and it was so awesome I had to share. We studied God's grace which in Greek is Charis. Let me digress. I am a big fan of the game subway surfers and I have a score of about 255k to show for the countless hours I have put into the game. When I first launched the game a friend told me his highest score was about 80k, he further told me that he'd seen folks with scores in millions. My ultimate goal then became having a score of at least 300k. It seemed like a tall order. However with time I realised that there were boosts (like surfboards, score boosters, magnets and power ups) and aids to help me achieve my goal. The more I ran, the more boosts I gathered,  the easier the game became and the higher my scores climbed. Now this post ain't entirely about subway surfers. Its also about God's grace. God's grace to us can be defined as the unmerited favor and support God bequeathed upon us. Titus 2:11,12 I paraphrase: The grace ...

It's Alright Now

I saw a damsel walking by I smiled and said hello She sneered and gave me nasty look And then walked away But its alright now I guess my lesson's learnt Not every girl wants to be friends Not every story happily ends I saw a fine girl walking by She smiled and I said hi We spent the evening writing poems Singing as we went So am alright now I guess my lesson's learnt As there are red and blue flames Not every girl is the same I've seen the heights of life I've also seen the other side Be nice to everyone you meet Be nice to the cat on the street But it's alright now I guess my lesson's learnt Not everything is as it seems Not everything is as we see I wrote a poem late last night Because I couldn't sleep I worried if it made any sense Or if it was just dense But it's alright now I guess my lesson's learnt You can't please everyone I write to be at peace with myself
