@Kennosky, I'm very much around and have as usual been visiting this thread virtually everyday, following the posts. With every sense of respect and no prejudice to recent contributors, however, I've found it a bit difficult to actually contribute to the postings in the past couple of days or so,, @Kuwena We were having an interesting discussion about the Book: "The Richest Man in Babylon" a short while ago. What's your take on the meaning and impact of "luck" in our daily endeavors, visions and ambitions? Is the saying true that Hardworking people are usually lucky? Permit me to apologize on our behalf, , we got a little carried away with our gists. . . i guess its all a part of the diversity that is welcomed here. However, with respect to your question on "luck", well. . . it depends on what definition you are looking at. Well, if its luck as in good fortune, i am tempted to quote Ecclesiastes 9:11 , " neither is bread to the wise, nor fortune to men of skill, but time and chance happens to them all. . . . . .I have read George Classon's "The Richest Man in Babylon" and a lot of other books relating to Personal Finance and they all have the same concept (although presented in various forms), just as Kuwena had enumerated earlier. . . however, most of these books refer to a Higher Power, an inexplicable Force, a Supernatural Presence etc that seems to guide the affairs of men. Christian authors simply refer to it as the God factor. Others call it luck. Notwithstanding, i also believe just as that there are physical principles that nature answers to, e.g. law of gravity etc, there are also some spiritual principles that govern nature. e.g. Principle of Sowing and Reaping, Principle of giving etc and these also go a long way to bring "luck" our way. In my honest opinion, there's no hard and fast rule that says hardworking people are always lucky. . . i have seen princes walking on foot and servants riding on horses. . . Alfaprime. . . i have seen hardworking men that stick to the rules die in penury, and i have also seen "not so hardworking" men get one lucky break and live as princes all the rest of their lives. In conclusion, well, what can i say? Tho' the race is not to the swift, be the swiftest you can be Tho' the battle is not to the strong, being the strongest is not a bad idea Tho' bread is not to the wise, nor riches is not to men of understanding . . . get all the wisdom and understanding you can get Tho' favour is not to men of skill, i fail to remember anyone that was not skillful at something Believe that your time and chance will not pass you by. . . . Have a splendid night folks!!! |

Alfaprime, Hi. Its nice to meet(?) you. I read ur posy and I am going to say that honestly, I don't believe in luck. Luck is just wishfull thinking. You want something, you work towards it. If you go acording to the principles, u get it. if u don't, u don't. Would you call Abraham's Lincon's success to the white house luck? Nada! The phrase should read HARD WORKING PEOPLE ARE USUALLY SUCCESSFULL. But then how true is this statement. working hard is one thing, applying the right principle in ur hard work is another. so what are we saying? My dear HARD WORKING PEOPLE WHO DO NOT APPLY WHATEVER PRINCIPLES THAT GUIDE WHAT IT IS THEY want to ACHIEVE ARE NOT USUALLY SUCCESSFUL. Kenosky I am seriously getting addicted. Its crazy. wishing u success in ur exams tomorrow. Aniffy |

I'm not dishing out any blames. I didn't even say the recent contributions were meaningless or purposeless for that matter; a bit of humour is very necessary, even in serious discussions of the sort we ususally have here. I only tried to let Kennosky know that I hadn't "signed off" as it appeared, but was more or less waiting for a posting that I could contribute to. I certainly saw your inquiry about the book. Appologies for not responding immediately. Like Annify says, the book was written by George Classon and can be obtained from any good bookstore, or even from the book sellers with their wares spread out on the ground at various corners and major bus stops. It's not a very "serious" looking book, I must warn You, and not too voluminous either; but inside, it speaks volumes to the reader! Offering several nuggets of money-wisdom and hard core, time-tested principles of financial prudence, the book itself is based on a true assumption that the basic nature of man hasn't changed one bit with regards to his attitude towards money. It actually brings across it's messages coated and packaged in short, witty anecdotes about some dwellers in ancient Babylon. I can assure you that You'D enjoy it. @Annify Actually I get your point. I believe that that saying "Hardworking people are usually lucky" is mainly championed by the hardly-working others who seek to blame their lack of progress on the absence of luck on their part. It could also be substantiated by realising that most time, what we call "luck" is simply Opportunity coming face to face with preparation and diligence in a diligent person's. If we care to admit it, some people actually act like they've already seen the very sort of future they're going to have, and are working assiduosly towards achieving it, while others carry along like anything goes, and actually end up going nowhere! That the race is not always to the swift is very true; but that that scripture also puts it in a context of an exception ( "NOT ALWAYS"), hence buttressing the fact that everyone should actually aspire to be fast, skilled and wise, as well as trust God. So, let's prepare ourselves today for the challenges of tomorrow, even when it's looking like our tomorrow will also be consumed by the corruption and internecine conflicts that have consumed our today. because it wont end up that way, anyway,I must say. God will surely see us through! |

These days I don't know myself anymore. There seems to be nothing I believe in. There seems to be nothing I hang on to as the purpose of my life. I am also preoccupied with the concept of suffering: Why is there so much suffering in the world? Why are there so many people unemployed and hungry, and why do I have to go on thinking of it? I feel purposeless these days. Time just flees and I drag myself along with it, empty. There is no love in my heart, no faith too. Just emptiness. I am fast becoming an empty, fearful, insecure person. Many times I wish I were someone else. I dream of myself as someone else, maybe a Yoruba boy, with a father and a mother. I imagine my father working in a Ministry or a company, and my mother maybe a lecturer or a housewife, and I dream of brothers and sisters, and so much love and togetherness. I wish I were much smaller (pardon me, but I do wish so), could play football (I don't know how to); had at least three girlfriends, like many regular guys; could make friends easily; frolic, joke, party and have everyone feel at ease with me, and like me. I wish I had a different Ibo name, instead of mine, which means 'each person and his own way of life'. I wish my name were something like: Anuri (happiness), or Kenechukwu (thanksgiving); sometimes I even wonder if I would be happier by being less intelligent, or a little less self-conscious. Or it may be that I am paranoid. It may be that four years of being entirely on my own without family is telling on me. It may be that I am trapped.  Why don't I just die? But then, where will I be buried? In Kano? How will my body be discovered? My neighbours and housemates will be alarmed. O dear. I have a job that I feel trapped in, in which the only thing I like is the money at the end of the month. I would have liked a job wherein I could use my talents. Sometimes when I dream, I wish I had a job to which I feel like going every morning. Like those days when I used to teach catechism. Even before three o clock, I would have prepared my lesson notes. The children in the First Holy Communion class I used to teach would be waiting for me, and I would be thinking the whole day of them. And whenever we met, it felt like heaven. My creative mind was always alert. I wish I had a loving family I could return to after a workday; people to console me when downcast. Alas this is not to be. And maybe I shouldn't complain. There are so many people who are probably worse off. But this realization does not help. It makes me ponder: Why are they worse off? Why is there so much suffering in the world? Yet some people are enjoying. Which makes me sometimes wish I were someone else. Which is not possible. And even now, I know I have been forced to choose: between succeeding and having family; between moving ahead in life and feeling belongingness to an unfeeling extended family. Question is: why do I feel I have to choose? And why me? |

I'm sorry. Seems I logged off before I noticed you were actually on line. I'm really looking forward to the next time we'll both be online same time; it'D be a real pleasure to chat with such a great mind.
@Kuwena
Aww, Kuwena. I always admire the sincere manner in which U usually bring your personal travails at any point in time to this forum where U can be sure of brotherly acceptance and understanding. I've gone through your last post; these are not the rantings of a confused mind; methinks they're the sincere desperate outcry of a soul that has been long disconnected from its ultimate Source, Creator and Owner: The LORD Jesus Himself. God and family are so pivotal to the whole essence and purpose of man's existence, that to be cut off from them both is to be reduced to a mechanised sort of life with virtually no definable purpose. Recall I've pleaded with U severally on this forum to quickly make Ur peace with God; you have been fighting and running from Him with for virtually cause at all. Now, it seems U've finally come to that point where truly every achievement appears to be mere thrash in the absence of any greater, noble purpose for living, which is to serve and please Him. See, it's not about your tribe, name, family background, and all that. (There are also many people from various other backgrounds, countries and even races who have had surprisingly similar experiences as you have)
It's about your world view and how u're handling ur situation!
In all sincerity, could you pick pen and paper and pen down the numerous wrongs and ills U strongly believe U have suffered from the hands of Jesus Christ? and could U on the adjacent page also write down the blessings U have gotten of His hands? Then compare both and let's see what we have.
I earnestly hope and pray that this weekend, U'll shut yourself in alone with God and do what U what U really should about this. I'm not trying to be judgemental though (far from it!!!). Only to help U see that without Christ, your numerous talents would not even be harnessed enough to be of material benefit to you and your world.
I'm expecting good news on your next post.If however, U still need help or would prefer a discussion, you could relay on this thread and I'll arrange for a hook-up.
@Others
Thank God It's Friday. Even for those of us who're planning to work this weekend, let's prepare to also ease off the stress and get enough rest!

@ Kuwena You can do something about the suffering in the world and it might even give you a sense of purpose, it starts with one person at a time. Make up your mind to put a smile on someone's face and the joy you'll bring to such a person's life will more than repay you for your efforts and that is a very good purpose. Or what do you think? I honestly don't think you'll ever be happy being any other person but yourself. Each and everybody is unique in his/her own way. As AlfaPrime said. Compare and contrast the blessing you have against the "hard knocks" then if you justifiably believe that you've been hard dealt by, come back and post it. And stop comparing yourself to other people, when you say some people are enjoying, Do you know the burden they bear in their hearts? Do you know what each and everybody is passing through? Some are just real enough to know that you don't go around carrying your burden where the whole world will see it. Maybe they are the "Acuna Matata" kind of people and that's the best kind of person to be. The Bible says something about worrying not about the problems of tomorrow that the worries of today are enough and that the Lord our God provides for the birds of the air, How much more you, His son Kuwena that he created in his own likeness and image??? Are you saying he doesn't know your needs? (Not your wants o!!!) He knows them all so cast them all onto him. You have a job many others would die for, (Don't you see some other peoples posts when you open the jobs section of N/Land? you'll see posts like "Thank God Intercontinental has called me" Or Zenith or Spring or 1st bank or Access or IBTC) but the bottom line is that it's not your dream job, so what do you do? Sit and whine about it? Or work towards the job you've always dreamed of. You are doing something in that effect i believe by planning to further your studies. Focus on that and forget about the initial inconvenience that you'll pass through before you get what you want. Nothing good comes easy or it won't be appreciated. As per the wishing you had a family issue, I'll just say if it'll not disturb your other plans, create one. Get married, You certainly are old enough to be because marriage is a function of maturity and not necessarily age. And I'm very sure your wife will do much more than console you after a hard day's work. 8)You've not been forced to choose, You can have both a family and success, they are not mutually exclusive. N I'm sure u don't really want to die. You've still got a lot to achieve and the whole world is before you waiting to be conquered so start working on that and stop whining about the bumps slowing you down. Gotta go now but Kuwena, I must advise you to stop self-pity it won't get u anywhere (That's not meant in a spiteful way). What you want to do is grab the world by the scruff of it's neck and let the whole world know you have a mission to fulfill and that a man who knows what he wants and knows how to go about getting it is around. As AlfaPrime advised, I'll beseech you to make peace with your God (I'm not talking about religious activities) because you can't fight God, it's always going to be a lost battle right from the start. I've been there. It just ain't worth the whole stress. And as you know, it's always easier to destroy but much more difficult to build. And i mean that both literally and practically. Gotta go now. Everyone should have a nice weekendl |

Niyoo, thank you very much. I think I feel better already. Your arguments are very sound, indeed. Yesterday I was very depressed. Instead of focussing on the positive things around me, I was focussing on the negative. I let stress, worry, sadness and insecurity get hold of me, and that was why I posted so. It was wrong of me. I should have got a grip of my emotions. But thank you, I really do feel better today. I honestly don't think you'll ever be happy being any other person but yourself. Each and everybody is unique in his/her own way. As AlfaPrime said. Compare and contrast the blessing you have against the "hard knocks" then if you justifiably believe that you've been hard dealt by, come back and post it. And stop comparing yourself to other people, when you say some people are enjoying, Do you know the burden they bear in their hearts? Do you know what each and everybody is passing through?

Are you saying he doesn't know your needs? (Not your wants o!!!) He knows them all so cast them all onto him.
I guess you are right. You know, there are some truths we know, but when we are sad, we forget them. A priest told us a story about trying to be someone else, or to lighten our burdens. He said that some people were going on a journey and were given crosses to carry. One person who did not want to carry a 'heavy' cross began to cut his cross little by little. He would walk a little, then cut a piece; walk a little more, then cut another piece; then he would do it again. Until they reached a gulf. Others who had not cut their crosses simply laid theirs across the gulf and walked across, but as his cross was too short, he had no 'bridge' with which to cross. And so he gave up on the race. Life is like that, the priest said: sometimes, the hardships we endure are tests for what God is preparing for us in the future. If we can patiently bear with them, they will come in handy in the end. Thanks, Niyoo. Thanks, my dear brother. You can do something about the suffering in the world and it might even give you a sense of purpose, it starts with one person at a time. Make up your mind to put a smile on someone's face and the joy you'll bring to such a person's life will more than repay you for your efforts and that is a very good purpose. Or what do you think? In truth, I have been preoccupied with the concept of suffering. You know, because of the impending Zimbabwean elections, CNN has been focussing on them. Come and see what the citizens of that country are going through! A CNN correspondent reported that certain young men managed to save only 100 dollars over a period of two years! The inflation rate there as well is nearly 8,000 percent! Yet Mugabe insists on remaining president. Why is he like that! Na wa o! But why is he like that? Ehn? Why is he like that? Can he not notice that his people are dying? If living in Nigeria is like this, then I wonder what living in Zimbabwe is like. Na wa o! Come and see the CNN clips! There was this particular one in which a mother was making a strangely-looking gruel, and then she gave it to her child to eat, some mucky stuff, it was. Yuck! The supermarkets are empty. Why? Phew! Na wa o! Why are they like that? And Mugabe sits tight on power. Can he not see that the people are suffering?!!!! Can he not see it? Can he not see it!!!! Hewuuu! Can he not see it? Why can he not see it! Chei! Anyway, Lest I work myself into hypertension, I better leave Zimbabwe's problems for Zimbabwe. Maybe God will show me what I can do to help reduce suffering in the world. Have a lovely weekend everyone. God bless you all. |

I earnestly hope and pray that this weekend, You'll shut yourself in alone with God and do what You what You really should about this. I'm not trying to be judgemental though (far from it!!!). Only to help You see that without Christ, your numerous talents would not even be harnessed enough to be of material benefit to you and your world.
I'm expecting good news on your next post.If however, You still need help or would prefer a discussion, you could relay on this thread and I'll arrange for a hook-up.
AlfaPrime, I thank you very much, but if there is one decision I intend to stick to permanently, it is the resolve not to have religion anylonger. Whatever the implications. I would have to henceforth use the powers of rational thought to solve all my problems (and I hope they will not be many). And where logical thought cannot help, I'll just have to grow a thick skin and move on. Till I discover my lasting niche and fit perfectly into it. But thanks anyway. Tomorrow work resumes. I wish all of you a productive week ahead. Thanks and God bless you all. |

Aniffy, I see you are online. There's something I want you to teach me. It appears I have not learnt how to insert quote bearing the name of the person who made the quoted statement. Can you show me how to?

kuwena bro, i m sure u misinterpreted my post- i ddnt mean here he comes with his whining. All i implied was that wishing all man (including u the great kuwena a good night rest) would help us wake up more refreshed and ready to face the new day.
About inserting quotes, once u go to reply, go to the person whose quote u intend to respond to and click insert quote. Afterwards, go up to the icons above the emoticons and click on insert quote (after highlighting the quote sha). U can then go ahead and reply accordingly. Let mi know how far with it!
