Family / Beware. Praise Beware by ify01: 8:14pm On Apr 13, 2021 |
Credits: SAMDAVE Praise, the group you follow determines a lot about you. they would either make or mar you. Do you need friends? Then choose wisely. Or you would be ruined foolishly. Beware. Praise, beware, for this group with which you walk are leading you than the drain path. You may not know this, but the friends you keep, and the friends you let keep you, determines how far you fall, how painful the fall is and how well you may get up afterh the fall. True, I might have no idea about your background – about your life before now, but. . .Praise. . .have you been drugged before? Have your drinks ever been laced? Why walk down this path of ruin? Why sign a death warrant for yourself? Beware Praise, beware. Why try to fit in, when you know you don’t belong there? Why allow these friends you choose. . .oh! look. Look praise. Don’t you see the ditch before you? Why ruin your life when you can build it? So you need friends? Take a look. Yes, look around you. What do you see? People, I guess. A mixture of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Within these ones lies the friends you chose, and the friends you should have chosen. Listen Praise, the true worth of friendship is not inherent in it’s quantity, but in it’s quality - as regards what positive value that friend is adding to your life. Praise. These friends you have chosen, what value have they added to your life? Do your values feel threatened when you’re with your friends? Beware Praise, beware for the devil craves after your innocence. Why sacrifice it to him on the altar of your friends blind reasoning? Think, Praise, Think. For thinking is humanity most unused gift. Will the friends you now keep lead you across the path to the life you want to live? Will the day not come when you’ll look back to this day, and wish you had chosen your friends wisely? And wish that you had listen to these words? Will the day not come, when you’ll curse the friends you kept? Curse the day you gained admission? Curse the day you met those friends? Look, Praise listen, for you are trudging on a mine filled path. Beware Praise, Beware for it’s a minefield on which you walk. Among these people which you saw, are the friends, the companions, the compatriots you should have chosen. Look at them calling at to you. Still unable to see them? Just wait. Stand by. Keep yourself. And they will come for you. They will find you. Likes attracts likes. But first, cut off these ones. These friends, for they will ruin you. They would be used against you. This Praise, is not a threat. It’s an assurance. An assurance of a certainty. You don’t really have to believe that the sky is blue. Three things determines a lot about your life: You. The friends you keep. The friends that keep you. The last two must all tick green with your personality. If your personality is green, and any of them is red, your personality. Your future. Your goals. And your dreams becomes red. Who are your friends, Praise? Who are they? Show them to me. Do you think you’ll soar high, or sink low with them. Listen Praise, if you lie to me about this, you’re smart. But if you lie to yourself. If you deceive yourself about this, you’re a fool. Beware Praise. Beware. These friends of yours that comes after you. Those friends of your friends that caresses you across your shoulders – at their own dictation. . . What are they after? Are they interested in you, or your body? Think, Praise Think. These are not the kind of friends you need. These are not the ones to surround yourself with. They are not the ones to listen to. Praise, these are not the ones to love. These ones don’t love, they lust. Beware Praise, Beware. Pull out of these ones. Your welfare lies below the foundation of their heart. Choose the right friends. Stand out. Allow the right friends to choose you, and your life, your future, your dreams will be right. Think Praise, Think. When with your friends, are you afraid they might pressure you into doing what you know is wrong? What shouldn’t be done. Are these ones your friends, praise? Beware, Praise Beware. For a word is enough for the wise. You’ve read more than a word. Pull out of these ones. Beware the friends you keep. Beware the friends you let keep you. or someday, when you are alone. Someday, on your deathbed, you’ll remember the words of this note. You’ll remember the day you read this note. You’ll remember this warning. This advice. This plea to beware. Someday when your life would be in shambles. When these friends have wrecked and battered you . That day when there would be no note for you to read. That day when there would be no one to console you. To advice you. To warn you. That day, you will look back to this day - in pains. In brokenness of heart. In tears. With biting of the fingers. In regret, and wish you had followed the words of this note. You would want to turn back the hands of time, but time would turn back your hands and warn you to beware. Because then, it would be too late for you . ..to beware. Now that you have time, Beware, Praise Beware. |
Family / Life And Mistakes: Stopping To Think by ify01: 7:27pm On Apr 13, 2021 |
CREDITS: SAMDAVE At that point in time when you find yourself sitting down, and puzzling over the last few days of your life . . .what do you think? What do you feel? Maybe the fact is that we constantly make mistakes, but the realization that we might have avoided it, for the most part dawns in painfully. Where are we? How did we get here? It is at such times of sober reflections where we find ourselves sitting alone – not necessarily of our own will but of silent necessity that the true reflections of the life we are living or have been living glooms at us. It is at such times that we are sobered by the things we should have done. The words we should have said. And the contacts we should have made. It is at such times that we truly know what we had. But do we really stop to think? What’s it with life anyway, that its necessary we take some time and pause? Maybe I don’t know. But how powerful is life? What bearing does life have over us? Sometimes we think we’re so busy. Too engulfed in the activities demanded or expected of us. And so we move on, thinking we have it all figured out. But do we? Life has a way of making us stop and think; no matter how fast we think we’re sailing. No matter how fast we think life is running. But is life really running fast? Aren’t we the ones trying to fasten it up? The savour of it all is that no matter how busy we are or we think we are – that we cannot create time for the little things of value tugging at us, no matter how occupied we believe we are, that we cannot create time to reflect. To look back on the past few days – On the life we’ve been living. No matter how we try to ignore the little mistakes we’ve been making – in the name of there is no time. . . Someday, life will stop us. The time will don’t have, will have us. No matter how busy, occupied, or timeless we believe we are, we can never stop time from stopping us. We will all find time to die. Maybe we should describe time as an abstract being devoid of human emotions, reasoning or idiosyncrasies. The fact that we hate to stop – to look back, has no effect on time. It won’t stop time from stopping us. But again, how did we get here? It’s not always been like this, or has it? Mistakes are not aliens in the transit of our daily activities as humans. But they could be grievious at times. And most times, it’s the grieviousness of a mistake that forces us to stop, because unless we stop, we cannot continue our transit. These mistakes blurs our views. Our eyes. Our focus. If we must run, then we must stop. But how did we get to this point? What have we done with our lives . . . that must make us stop and think? Do we really have time? The true fact is, no finite being has time, or can claim monopoly over it. It is evenly distributed by the creator among all beings. We can only create time. We don’t have it; we don’t own it. If we would take a break from the hassles of our daily activities, if we would stop trying to fasten up life, and create time to reflect on everyday lived; if we would pay attention to those things we think are little of value – tugging at us, and try to correct every mistake we make, as we transit along life – before they explodes . . .then, but only then, we don’t have to worry about time stopping us, because we’ve stopped to think. It’s much better to stop, than to be stopped. We need to realize that we can’t run from our mistakes. Our past. Our problems. Our struggles. Suppressing our mistakes, or trying to fasten up life can threaten emotional and spiritual health and become a festering sore that would express itself someway, sooner or later. If we won’t stop to think. If we won’t stop and deal with our past, we would be stopped – at the time when we need must run, to think. Since we’ve decided not to deal with our past, then we must not complain when our past decides to deal with us. It’s either we stop, or we’re stopped. Facing our mistakes is similar to what happens in an earthquake. When a large amount of pressure builds up, and the earth is forced to make a large adjustment, great damage occurs to property and lives. However, if the earth makes small shifts frequently, pressure is relieved gradually and little damage occurs. The same is true when we stop to think, as we transit through life. The same is true if we take time to pause, and face our mistakes as soon as we realize them. Like a small earth tremor, no great damage occurs. But disregarding small mistakes causes them to build up. When we finally stop, to look back, or we are stopped by time to face them. To deal with them, a horrendous explosion may take place that wrecks our being – shattering our dreams and hopes, and causes great damage to everyone. No one is so busy that he or she doesn’t have time to visit the loo. No matter how busy we believe we think we are, we must find time to stop and think; To leave the crowds. To ponder at the silent reflections of the life we’ve been living. To give attention to those things we treat as of little value. If we think we are busy and have no time to stop and think, we would be stopped to think. And it might be at a time when we really need to run. Mistakes are termites. If you think termites are weak and harmless, just wait till they pull down a pillar. A pillar in your life. No mistake is of no value. If we have no time to stop and pause, someday – no matter how busy we might be, we would all find time to die. |

Family / Expect Anything From Anybody by ify01: 10:42am On Jul 14, 2018 |
CREDITS: SAMDAVIAN LOGIC 1. Expect anything from anybody; be consciously alert. Always be on your guard. Surprise is an inherent human weakness, kill it. By expecting anything from anybody, you've successfully murdered surprise (in you) and yet, created surprise in your enemy (or the other party). If for an instance, you turn your back, only to find a trusted friend pointing a gun at you, you don't have to look or appear shocked; just quietly swallow the scene and accept the truth that you are facing a fact, and face him calmly - (both the gun and your friend), without an element of surprise. By expecting anything from anybody, you've resurrected surprise in your friend. He or She expects you to be surprised, because you shouldn't, (naturally) expect such from them. Murder the surprise in you. Detonate the surprise in others. Surprise others by not being surprised. Expect anything from anybody. |

At that point in time when you find yourself sitting down, and puzzling over the last few days of your life . . .what do you think? What do you feel? Maybe the fact is that we constantly make mistakes, but the realization that we might have avoided it, for the most part dawns in painfully. Where are we? How did we get here? It is at such times of sober reflections where we find ourselves sitting alone – not necessarily of our own will but of silent necessity that the true reflections of the life we are living or have been living glooms at us. It is at such times that we are sobered by the things we should have done. The words we should have said. And the contacts we should have made. It is at such times that we truly know what we had. But do we really stop to think? What’s it with life anyway, that its necessary we take some time and pause? Maybe I don’t know. But how powerful is life? What bearing does life have over us? Sometimes we think we’re so busy. Too engulfed in the activities demanded or expected of us. And so we move on, thinking we have it all figured out. But do we? Life has a way of making us stop and think; no matter how fast we think we’re sailing. No matter how fast we think life is running. But is life really running fast? Aren’t we the ones trying to fasten it up? The savour of it all is that no matter how busy we are or we think we are – that we cannot create time for the little things of value tugging at us, no matter how occupied we believe we are, that we cannot create time to reflect. To look back on the past few days – On the life we’ve been living. No matter how we try to ignore the little mistakes we’ve been making – in the name of there is no time. . . Someday, life will stop us. The time will don’t have, will have us. No matter how busy, occupied, or timeless we believe we are, we can never stop time from stopping us. We will all find time to die. Maybe we should describe time as an abstract being devoid of human emotions, reasoning or idiosyncrasies. The fact that we hate to stop – to look back, has no effect on time. It won’t stop time from stopping us. But again, how did we get here? It’s not always been like this, or has it? Mistakes are not aliens in the transit of our daily activities as humans. But they could be grievous at times. And most times, it’s the grievousness of a mistake that forces us to stop, because unless we stop, we cannot continue our transit. These mistakes blurs our views. Our eyes. Our focus. If we must run, then we must stop. But how did we get to this point? What have we done with our lives . . . that must make us stop and think? Do we really have time? The true fact is, no finite being has time, or can claim monopoly over it. It is evenly distributed by the creator among all beings. We can only create time. We don’t have it; we don’t own it. If we would take a break from the hassles of our daily activities, if we would stop trying to fasten up life, and create time to reflect on everyday lived; if we would pay attention to those things we think are little of value – tugging at us, and try to correct every mistake we make, as we transit along life – before they explodes . . .then, but only then, we don’t have to worry about time stopping us, because we’ve stopped to think. It’s much better to stop, than to be stopped. We need to realize that we can’t run from our mistakes. Our past. Our problems. Our struggles. Suppressing our mistakes, or trying to fasten up life can threaten emotional and spiritual health and become a festering sore that would express itself someway, sooner or later. If we won’t stop to think. If we won’t stop and deal with our past, we would be stopped – at the time when we need must run, to think. Since we’ve decided not to deal with our past, then we must not complain when our past decides to deal with us. It’s either we stopped, or we’re stopped. Facing our mistakes is similar to what happens in an earthquake. When a large amount of pressure builds up, and the earth is forced to make a large adjustment, great damage occurs to property and lives. However, if the earth makes small shifts frequently, pressure is relieved gradually and little damage occurs. The same is true when we stop to think, as we transit through life. The same is true if we take time to pause, and face our mistakes as soon as we realize them. Like a small earth tremor, no great damage occurs. But disregarding small mistakes causes them to build up. When we finally stop, to look back, or we are stopped by time to face them. To deal with them, a horrendous explosion may take place that wrecks our being – shattering our dreams and hopes, and causes great damage to everyone. No one is so busy that he or she doesn’t have time to visit the loo. No matter how busy we believe we think we are, we must find time to stop and think; To leave the crowds. To ponder at the silent reflections of the life we’ve been living. To give attention to those things we treat as of little value. If we think we are busy and have no time to stop and think, we would be stopped to think. And it might be at a time when we really need to run. Mistakes are termites. If you think termites are weak and harmless, just wait till they pull down a pillar. A pillar in your life. No mistake is of no value. If we have no time to stop and pause, someday – no matter how busy we might be, we would all find time to die. |

Clefayomide:Remedial is only for Science students - as you rightly heard. An art student might be pushed to another department. depending on his result. e.g if you applied for English, and you failed literature, you're likely to be pushed to linguistics. Maybe your friend applied for history and diplomatic studies. |
