If he makes the mistake of visiting computer village, they'd steal his phone.
I'm sure of that because they did it to me in 2005.
Luckily it was a Sony Ericsson k700i that had a broken screen.

LiteratureWe Know We Know (poetry) by Cirphrank(op):
We know the fiery in the flames
We know the strength in the vein
We have foreheads that are bold
For our hairlines are shy.

We know the pain in the process
We know the struggle in the success
We know the facade of metrics
We know blue ticks and silence.

We have dreams that give us nightmares
We go through Hades like we can't find another way to Heaven
And just before I forget, when you ask us: how are you?
We're fine.

Every once in a while,
I say hi
I go try chyke you
like say I don high.

Every once in a while
I say die
But the next day
I dey claim say na you be my life.

Every once in a while,
You see me.
But I dey claim say
You dey on my mind steady.

Every once in a while
I say I love you
But I nor dey stress am,
‘Cos I know say you nor dey feel am too.

LiteratureBefore Her Fall by Cirphrank(op): 6:11pm On Jun 02, 2018
Before her fall, angels hailed, demons murmured, she never did engage insolence, awesomeness, she only exhibited more...


Fuel for a thousand,
But no light shines forever, even the sun sets,
So when tragedy struck,
Everyone sane knew it wasn't her fault.

She wept, oh how the skies bled,
Nature had given her a stab in the back,
Aided by mankind's zero discretion,
She stood seemingly a playground for tragedy' leisure,
But never did miss misfortune for a tune to which she should dance too.

She did not drink her pains her way,
Nor smoke her agony in wraps of weed,
She picked her pieces of beauty battered up,
Stood up strong, weeded away the negativities ,
By divinely radiating positivity endlessly, rewriting a dim fate to a shine so great the blind could get blinded by it, her strength she drew from having faith in the finished work of Christ never to yield.

She is the sun shine, upon which many make hay, hey, she's mama, sister, aunt, daughter, niece, she is a woman, divinely superb.


Before her fall, angels hailed, demons murmured, she never did engage insolence, awesomeness, she only exhibited more... And after her fall, she only became greater, she is a woman.

LiteratureThe Past Tense Of The F Word by Cirphrank(op): 10:03pm On May 31, 2018
(I)
I once passed by a church as they prayed, I was feeling fatally hurt on that unfaithful day, I can’t say that as of the second I was at peace with God, but in my right mind I was, so yes I am minding my words. I was shocked and plunged into bitterness at their pastor command as I cussed and fools I tagged them, yes the congregation that made up the church, for they had held up over their heads their chairs, praying thus upon the pastor’s order like God needed such a show of foolishness to be indulged before HE would hear HIS children talk, even if they wanted to sit things down with the most high, does one sit with his/her head huh? Anyway I think of it, it still does not follow, and please don't tell me the ways of God are not the ways of men, these are but just gullible men. But then I said unto myself, what do I really care anyway? what do I really care? after all, my life is but just the past tense of the f word.

(II)
I once walked by a kid late night begging for a meal, I had a belly rumbling even after working the side of my back off all day short, short of everything from the pockets to the zeal to breathe, I did not know who to flip on, the kid pleading or the woman that isn’t giving? is the boy too lazy to till or the lady food vendor is just too lazy to do good? I have to keep it at lazy as per the Nigerian youth I am, it wasn’t until I got home that I realized that I did not stand still at the spot and cause a change, even if only by giving the kid small change or the lady some life lessons, I had long since left them and moved on but yet I’m stuck, I pitied, I fumed, but then again
I said unto myself, what to do? what do I really care? after all, my life is but just the past tense of the f word.

(III)
Sometimes the crickets chirping sound like unbeatable melodies jolly riding, some nights I could swear I felt they were just weeping on my behalf, been cut severally, severely, that if you tried patching me up now you won't realize even half of me. I saw a drunk threatening to imprison a mad man the other day if the madman remained a nuisance lobbying around, but I passed in a hush, like I don’t give a damn even if a puppy be barking on a dame, what do I really care? huh? what do I really care after all, my life is but just the past tense of the f word.

(IV)
I got in trouble but wouldn't read the Bible, I did not want it feeling like a side chick and thus I stayed unrepentant, I said a prayer but wouldn’t wait on an answer, like I did not want God thinking HIS earthly P.R.O. is weak? And while I draw my last breath I would not even flinch, I’ll simply roll my eyes, raise my brows and let out a paradoxical sigh of I’m tired+relief, like what do I really care? huh? what do I really care? my life is but just the past tense of the f word after all.

*pheu…

I was going to call you up friend, tell you of a couple of things even in silence, but then I reckoned, in this age of selfies and canon, a problem shared is halved social media broadcast, and I intend not to shoot myself, but then on a second thought, I said unto myself, hold it right there, get over yourself, what do you think this reader really cares? huh? after all your life is…

CareerThe Difference Between Raw Talent And Pure Talent! (Monday Digest) by Cirphrank(op):
Hi there, great evening. Welcome to a great week, full of new opportunities, and I'd root for you to make the most of it!

Today I'd be making a short analysis, and as the title has rightly informed you, we'd be looking at the difference between Raw and Pure talent, let's go.

Nothing is new, just the everyday view is. -Cirphrank
You must have heard someone say once when probably a performer pulls an amazing stunt; "this guy has raw talent" and most times it is wrongly (as regards this point of view) interchanged by same set of folks when another display amazes them with: "this guy has pure talent".

Now, here's a quick explanation of their difference:

Raw talent is BASIC.

Pure talent is REFINED.

What differentiates that local singer from the international one most times is not due to platforms they were opportuned to get on, most times the way they handled their talent is how they get the opportunities. Now one major stuff that differentiates pure from raw is the hard work.

Before I go on to wrap this up in making known what differentiates each from the other, I'd put this to you, raw talent is like iron ore, it's marveling and of value but not without too much gangue (dirts and worthless things) meanwhile, pure talent is refined, fine tuned, of greater value, better mastery of skills, and gets all the glitz.

The Differences.

Raw talent is mediocre, Pure talent is an acheiver, actively breaking status quos.

Raw talent is amazing, Pure talent is beautifully amazing.

Raw talent reaches heights, Pure talent breaks beyond peaks.

Raw talent is a dashing skill, Pure talent wields the mastery of a dashing skill.

Raw talent can yield a platform, Pure talent yields platforms.


In that last line, you'd notice I wrote that Raw can,  meanwhile pure does. Raw talent is like banking on uncertainties, while Pure talent is the total opposite. By default, everyone is born with a raw talent, but what differentiate folks is some keep using it RAW, others go ahead to clean it up and make it pure, while most time greatests keep fine tuning throughout their lifetime!

If you were born with a real sweet voice, that would never make you the one wielding the sweetest voice if you don't polish it up, for while you are busy being contented with leaving it the way it came, many are actively busy working on theirs getting better. Turning your raw talent to a pure one is like becoming a man, it's not a day's job, but so worth it, it gives you a competitive edge, puts you out there better, helps increase your value, in a nutshell, it's one of the step an individual needs to take towards getting a better life. Those who pure up their talent don't stand a chance of showcasing on a couple of platforms alone but in turn learn more, having more platforms and eventually being able to provide platforms for young(er) talents that might not even be anything like theirs! It's all in the will to achieve.

Making one's talent a pure one as earlier said is not easy, but nothing great ever is and no price of reasonable measure/means is too great to pay for greatness, pure talent is a necessary upgrade every dreamer needs in order to work out their goals into reality and I could actually go ahead to name some great men/women who took steps to making their talent pure and as such became timeless great personalities but I believe we actually know them already, Oprah, Hawkins, Musk...

Albeit pure talent requires you figuring put what your raw talent is at first though, before you can start working on it, if you have a problem figuring that out, you can mail us for the free eBook we're giving out this month which dealt on that and some other areas. (hub@betayarn.com)

After figuring out your pure talents, below are some steps to achieving pure talent(which is never totally achieved, for it is an unending continuous process). This list is by no means utterly definitive but sure helpful.

How To Get Your Talent Purified. 

1.) Set a goal, a great one, none is ever too great. (why? because it will give you a nudge to push beyond raw, as raw talent can't really achieve great dreams without being pure.)

2.) Make efforts daily. Read everyday, learn every day, no matter how little, you can never know too much and there's always room for improvement. (you don't need to pay for rent)

3.) Don't try to boycott the process, get in the flow. Short cuts never lead to giving you lasting cuts from greatness, don't fall for a scheme that would at the end of the day even skin you of even the raw talent in you, flow with the process, good things take time let alone greatness, learn steadily not hastily, take your time to find your rhythm that way you'd never lose it.

4.) It's going to be hard. It won't be easy but you can do it, if any person tells you otherwise it's a lie, never let in negative vibes, even if it ever seems like it's not working out, remember, things are not always as they seem. Keep pushing, never you relent!

5.) Consistency. This is like a deliberation on 2&4, BE CONSISTENT. It's not going to be easy but you have to be consistent because practice does not just makes perfect but also helps to ensure that you never lose your touch. Take your goals like a belief system, from which you should never backslide. NEVER.

6.) Sacrifice. Make sacrifices, even Jesus understands the concept of this, that's what you saw HIM fulfilling on the Cross of Cavalry. Some of the bigwigs you see today sacrificed getting proper meals to building their empire. Make Sacrifices to learn, pay attention even when you don't feel like it, pay for knowledge even if it's your last penny, study instead of clubbing steady.

7.) Work, work, work, work. If you don't work for it, you can't complain when it doesn't work for you.

8.) Create connections with those with similar vision/talent. Get in the circles of those that matter in the field (carefully). When you create connections, you create for yourself opportunities.

9.) Be strategic, don't be impulsive as regards the way you take decisions.

10.) Say a prayer everyday.

Remember:

 Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard?  -Tim Notke


And one more major thing, while you are at this, have fun! wink it's important. smiley

The concept of achieving dreams with talents is not one which can be exhaustively discussed in a post, but I believe I've done a quick justice to it, so there you have it, Monday's digest on Beta Yarn. If you like it, don't be mean, kindly share it. Thank you, do have an awesome week.
