Education / Facts I Learnt In The University. by AndyAustin(m): 6:29pm On Dec 30, 2016
1) Always hear both sides of the story: Never you based your judgement of an issue by listening to one party alone. Whatever your friend (s) have told you about that guy/girl/lecturer or whosoever, my dear, I'm sorry, it's not enough to judge them. People are emotional and they tend to narrate their story to their own advantage.

2) Rumors are not always true: Yes, 85% of popular gists are not always true. No matter how popular the story, do not assume its true, verify yourself. You heard someone said one lecturer is wicked and you believed hook, line, sinker. Result would be out and that same person would do more than you with grade in the same lecturer's course and you'll know how far.

3) There is YOU: You are in the midst of a large or very big crowd and you think 'do I count? ' or you walking down a busy road with people everywhere, in a crowded bus, marketplace and something is going wrong. You may be tempted to think that someone should do something, but what about you? You think you don't exist or you're just there peradventure? The worse is when you think no one sees you. My dear, that's the devil speaking to you o cos the day you will know you are not invisible, you may not like it. Those in SUG don't have two heads bro, you might be even better and RICHER than some of them. Yes, this I know. But until you take that step, you'll never know what YOU CAN do.

4) Nothing is impossible: Seriously, no height is too high, no dream is too big, no girl is too fine, no guy is too dope. It's all your mindset. No man really is an highland, even God said it, "pursue, you shall overtake", "knock, it shall be opened". Even though in some cases, you'll need sledge hammer to knock and speed boat to pursue... the good thing is, they are all reachable!
I remember during my year2, I told myself I wanted no C in my grades, come what may, and truly it happened like magic (only sey my body tell me).

5) You are the author of your life: This one I don't really know how to explain it because if a university student do not know he/she is in charge of his/her life, I wonder how such student make grades.

6) Make friends: Not everybody really know how to make friends and even very few know how to keep friends. Some are like eagles, yes, they hardly make friends, but somehow...somehow, a tree does not make a forest. After you leave the University, you'll hardly remember what you read from those books that are so important now. It's memories of friends and events that last longer and bring the most happiness. Only if you have Einstein's kind of brain, you may want to move your bed and stove to the library.

7) Opposite sex: Yes o, love them, make them friends and be selective too. Try out relationship, IF you can. Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT be sexually discriminating in friends making. There are more than a reason why God created the opposite sex. Let it not be SEX, SEX, SEX, you can't have all the love in the world. Make friends with some for more than that.

8 ) Live your life: What is it that you want to do? Now is the time. You've got a talent? Polish it. You want good grades? chase it. You want to do something new? Try it. Somehow, when you are graduated those people telling you to face your book they would be the first to ask you 'Who are you seeing?' DO NOT LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE DICTATE OF ANYONE!! In all, live a positive life, you would never know how far the habits you develop during these 4/5 years would go with you, therefore try cultivate good habit.

I was going through another section of literature and saw award/nominations being done there, I think it is a nice idea and would be nice if it is done here too (though I don't know if it is done here too).
Plus I'll like know, do poetry make front page?

Poems For Review / This Is Christmas by AndyAustin(m): 7:59am On Dec 26, 2016
Lights are high, streets full of life
Guys are high, girls are jive
Today D_day, tomorrow later.
Today we celebrate the Maker
Walk the streets, many things you'll witness
Some houses are shining, some in darkness
Some this day their brightest
Some are filled, some are empty
Some are saint, some are tempting
Some are brimming and basking
Some are hungry and asking
Some are getting, some are giving
In all, this Christmas we are living
When tomorrow comes, we'll tell our stories
Of the same Christmas but different memories.
Merry Christmas!

Poems For Review / Shepherd, Silent And Strong. by AndyAustin(m): 12:36pm On Dec 23, 2016
When I was pretty very young
I used to think there was a distance very long
Between me and that being called God
Although I thought about Him and read His word.
People told me, 'God is in heaven'
And truth, I never saw Him 24/7
Everything was here...material
And He was 'something' afar.
Friends, family, neighbors were all I got
And my mom, she was a rock I could not...
He was like He wasn't
God Almighty.
Until friends became foes
Love became foul
Brothers clenching fists
And mother's help couldn't suffice
I then became aware of His presence
The one I thought was afar
A voice quiet, sure and true
Whose words surges me through
Alas, he has been the one I got
When life is cold and when it gets hot
Nobody can be this close
They can only put on a pose.
You are God Almighty, a Friend, a Shepherd
When I roll with the lions and leopards
Helplessly, wholly trusting in you
My rock and fortress, my might and do.

Poems For Review / One by AndyAustin(m): 9:31am On Dec 05, 2016
When you get a one
Don't you quit to get a two
And when you get a two...
Remember you can add up a one again
Making it a three.
When you get to three
Remember you can get to four, five and six
But don't you stop there
There are, still, ten and twenties
Don't get blind in ten, twenty...
You can push forward to get a one
Again... again and again.
And when you keep getting
Don't you forget 'what is a one'
and if you can get a one,
You can get a zillion.
Yet, you don't need a hundred,
of anything, to be....
