Often people tend to dismiss any implication, even without response to any warning about any action and defiance of the regulation about the forest in question. However, he was not going there all the time because he could manage to supplement with gas that could not really last for a very long time. And he would go to bed often with tie on his [b][/b][b][/b]neck due to the severity of the winter. When he has to go to the nearby mountain, he was always with his tie on and cutlass in hand to fall a log of tree he would engaged to cut down. Otherwise, he would simply engage any existing one already on ground. Often, the foretieri, as they called them, would only come soon after he had carried out his share of the wood. The reality, is that, beside the entrance of the mountain, there is always some layer of well arrange logs of wood cut into equal parts. He would never touch any of this, knowing that it may belong to someone, as he choose to cut his own, even if it require falling anyone down, without any flash of the implication, negative or otherwise. To demonstrate this desperate attitude, one day he was challenged by one of his neighbor, who he thought was a friend, of the need not tempered with cutting any wood because, they are being protected. Taking it as a joke, he simply did not look at him none alter word in response, due to that singular behavior as he walked briskly passed him and went into the forest. Although, with unsettled mind as he was prepared for the worst, even, if his so called friend has to go and inform the forestry guide. But Bettino was very sure, no one would dare stop him except those men in inform, otherwise he was prepared to fight anyone that come his way, if only to prove a point, that he was not really sick man after all, as they all have to come assumed over time. After that first challenge, soon after he was just entry into his compound, the men in uniform arrived and saw him with logs of wood, but only to simply look at him without saying anything. This he was inwardly rejoicing about as he comes to view their indifference, no matter how grievous the offense might be, and in what might be called their high level of understanding of his extraordinary predicament. Yes, oh, it has to be called so, when a man become so desperate with a tie –in his neck and with a cutlass in hand and a wheel barrow full of wood as never before witnessed, come to be seen in an open defiance of what looks like environmental regulation. It was obvious he deserved pity instead of punishment. Because a man who resigned his job with whatever reason, now in a state of confusion of which he was not directly responsible, thank goodness, they tends to own up and they become aware they have to assist to enable him to overcome the unique server winter in which ever this was deem possible. As the winter evolves, after the departure of his friend he was completely exposed to a new reality, as this has come to brace away. Because, of the sudden passing away of his only friend in the vicinity, he refrain from his recreational ride. It simply down on him, however, that life is really vanity as often being instructed in the scripture, since before then, he has come to view life differently. Although, he is unable to say in clear term the very perspective he has come to view it, but one thing was sure, his current state of mind is a wake up call, not taking anything for granted due to the unexpected event taking place around him. The same is true, that come what may, he was not going to drag his current situation to the extreme. But any avoidance though, could turn into phobia. Such phobia that might trigger an anxiety every time he is in a situation that resemble the original trauma. Henceforth, he said to himself, he can only hate his past mistake but not to hate himself. But must strive and be prepared to look into his current reality in the face without relenting in reshaping himself like the sculpture caving a stone, if that means stating from the basics. Gradually, as the summer role out, he realized he must not only be fair to himself, but also must learn to forgive himself for whatever error of judgment of the past. And he struggles to recollect that expression of himself when he had time to stare at the mirror. But without stretching his introspective element beyond its limit, he realized he was a man of confidence, or rather he uses to be. Even when there was nothing to demonstrate it, but for the mere fact that everything around him seems fairly in order was just enough. It is true, that he is very close to the school of thought, in the believe that clever ones still posses the necessary skill to turn setbacks into asset. His ability to do that seems doubtful, as long as he sees himself as not a practical man as such. Many a time he has contend with his reality, as daunting as it may seems, and he struggles to overcome them on daily bases, and as M. Williamson will put it, “ As we let our own light, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.”. Read more on;-https://philoedu2017..com.ng/. |
In spite of what looks like a very close friendship and close neighbor, Bettino and Albettino, never thought at anytime, to pay a visit to one another, except when they are going for a ride. Their close proximity of habitation was never a barrier to their friendship; on the contrary, it tends to strengthen it. During one of the unexpected event that shock Bettino when he became a recluse at a particular period of time, was the time his friend pass away in a mysterious circumstance. It was the time that Albertino felt some imbalance in his health and could not see each other for a ride during the time. They were never use to visiting each other, and for sometimes now, it has becomes a normal absence of weekend ride without knowing what had transpire on either side. Bettino- battling with his depressive status and Albettino with his imbalance of health both in state of incommunicado. The reality, is that Abettino could not survive his health imbalance, at that particular period of time and it was unknown to Bettino. Due to the unique nature of the country side, Bettino always live his window open, be it day or night just to benefit from the pure air of the countryside. He is a man who tends to love nature and its openness in its generosity to man, although, of which not every one may such view, if you like. To buttress this idea, he was more like astronomer in his constant observation of the night sky as he stir through his open window. He takes time to even adore the panoramic country side overlooking the window in the opposite direction. In one of this faithful night, although, he slept very late as he tries to indulge himself in one routine task or the other. But this very night tends to be different, as he felt nostalgic of his past in a summer night like this one he was in. The reason was clear, when he would have just breeze in from outside with such a speed in his ford, as if he was being trailed behind. But the truth is that he just enjoy doing that and like his night driving in the country side. Of cause, the situation he was could not in any way be compared with his previous life style. However, for the sake of adjustment with his current situation he would create time to watching what looks like a popular movie-like Dynasty at the time. In this particular night, without any inventory of the day, not even Bible reading as he had always been doing lately, which he had tried to be part of his roster of the day. But as nature would have in just few minute later, he soon dose off. Although, as if he was awake or in a trance, there was his friend who appear from nowhere on his bike trying to cross over his window. As Bettino notice his coming with over where he was laying down, he simply asked him to be careful not to jump on him as both of them joke over the issue. And Immediately, Bettino was awake, as he reflects over what looks like a five minute dream he could not just figure out the meaning. And in particular, of why his friend he has not seen for quite sometimes could now be jumping over his head in in a ride. In his moment of recluse, he had never for once speak with his immediate neighbor about any event happening around, but this time around, he came out of his enclave just to get a reaction of what he has just dreamt about. Soon after, neighbor also came out eager to inform him of what has happen to his friend passing away. He was not too surprised as his dear friend has had a way of informing him of going away, although, he could not disclose this to them. But he was simply told that they intend to lay him to rest at that very day. All his life, Bettino has never follow any one to any of such event. But it becomes imperative for him not to absent himself as a moral principle to assist in laying his dear friend to rest. But his level of depression only tends to increase not without the shock of the sudden loss of his dear friend, he least expected to just pass away as never happened before in all his entire life experience. With this state of things he decided to remains more in silence than ever due to this singular event, as he felt the impact. During his state of what look like an acute -depression, he would wake up only to attend to his morning cleaning up without even allowing himself to be seen by others as he slip back into his enclave. His immediate neighbored would just move on with their own acute-indifference, but only contented to have everything at their own disposal. In what look like overzealous attitude, they seems to be blinded, not to see what the environment in which they live look like. The immediate result of this was the overwhelmed-environment by weed that covers almost everywhere without the normal care that befit the cottage. The reality was that it was Bettino who actually was carrying the environment care. But due to his current situation, he never tends to care what anyone may say. But often time, he could imagine how any one passing by would not only react but also doubt as to whether the occupants had left the building or maybe away for a distance holiday. The reality was that it was only himself who seems to care about the up keeping of the environment without which anything could be done. Although, Bettino in his mind often felt disturb about the overall impression they tends to be exposing themselves to , not only to the people around them but also any passerby who already know so much about them. The same is true, that Bettino remain indoor without been seen, as if he was no longer there with them, except some close neighbor who knew he was in there. As for Bettino, he was quit aware of the negative impression such neglect was having on them, but was prepared not do anything about it for now due to his depression, unknown to his immediate neighbor. Because, after all, those who seems to have known him with the couple, were never surprise in Bettino’s tactchitunum due to his peculiar situation. Soon after the winter finally came, and gradually, the depression give way as he get worry about the winter simply because, the environment must be heated and he must to a level remain worm otherwise, he could himself freeze up and pass away like his friend Albertino, he thought to himself. After much contemplation of what to do, he soon figure out the way to pass through it, an idea that looks unique. The reason stern from the simple fact that it tends to defy any known environmental logic of his time. Of course, in this environment, there are low levels hills and valley of which the forest is situated right on top of them, but guided often to scare any intruder, in particular during the period of winter. But he never for one moment comes to view any grievous implication of his going there, if only this would enable him to survive what looks like a harsh winter ahead. However, the psychology was very clear, he was at this point in time a very desperate man in a desperate situation and he must do something to get over it with whatever means available to do so. The only challenge he hard was just to remind himself of the implication of his actions that tends to defy any known environmental regulation of the country side he tends to find himself.

However, Bettino is single, but he has a couple that reside with him in this same unique and enviable cottage. He could remember, he made it possible, and due to his effort that these couple find them with him in this same country side cottage envied by everyone around. With time, Bettino and this couple - Mathis and Luisa, became antagonistic, due to what they assume know of which Bettino was no way near to the known. In the climate of such misunderstanding, Bettino confronted them head on without caring for the consequence. On this faithful day, as he was doing what he was doing in trying ready his novel, the couple started what has become their usual habit of mockery. Then Bettino was charged as he let loose his rage and dashed into their room without a word to initiate a half an hour fight with no one to separate them. On the contrary, the couple collaborated to have their way to fight back. Because, he actually could not resist the temptation of which Mathis with his wife Luisa combine to give him the beating he list expected. While Bettino handle Mathis himself, Luisa no doubt occupied him from the back with an attack he never thought of, except with the evidence of a swollen head. Although, he thought, he had exhausted his potential to unleash as much punch on Mathis that could not be forgotten. But soon with his swollen head, he realized it is the beginning. Hence, he could not be satisfied due to what Luisa eventually left on his forehead as evidence of been beaten. In the police station, it became an evidence of contravention on the part, of the couple, hence, they were dismissed due to their almighty connection and the matter was closed. But for Bettino, it was just a shift of yet another incontro- from their relationship within the shortest possible time. In spite of what looks like a treat on his person from their part, he became cut up between love and hatred towards Mathis. Although, he was well aware that it was Luisa who often tries to instigate Mathis to get out of his way in her dominant attitude. With this observation, he come to understand that whenever Mathis gets into a problem with him, he will never act without any form of sympathy and flexibility toward him. In fact, an instance did take place just a few weeks apart from the first fight. This time around, as Mathias was waiting for his noon-work resumption, something happened that has its origin from the previous disagreement. But Luisa happened not to be around, hence, Bettno and Mathias was now alone in the mix of what looks like what is about to take place, another fight. It was obvious; Bettino was just willing to prove himself in whichever way it was possible to do that. This time around to Bettino’s estimation, he just thinks he has nothing to lose by any such fight. Before he could denied or accept what was the bone of contention, Mathias was already on the ground as Bettino lift him so high and rest him on top of pavement for the next couple of minutes. Although, Mathias never at any time doubt his credibility and his potential to fight him hand down, but was stun of the time limit and the act of taciturn before the said fight could take place . Later Bettino cried over what he has done to Mathias and decided on a matter of principle not to fight him anymore no matter what happen. In his moment of reflection, he realized that it is in despair you find the most acute pleasure, in particular when one is aware of the very helplessness of that situation. It is often, in the same vain that when everything seems to be in a mess, it is almost impossible to tell what is at stake and that is the moment one would manage to laugh at himself and get over it. But despite what looks like blink situation and deception in the overall assessment of what is going on, no doubt, it still hurt. And of cause, the less he understands the more it hurts. Overtime, he had tried not to be idle, instead, to get himself busy even, in his spare time .Then he remembered how he had long ago, with the advice of a close friend, had tried to make good use of the small plot behind the cottage. Then he had planted a lot diverse vegetable and the likes due to its cohesiveness for such items. His friend did not just advice, but also gave him what to plant. And in its first experiment, it was a great success, of which his friend was not so surprise but Bettino was, beyond disbelieve as he would no long buy some of these item in the shop and instead would simply walk behind the cottage to get this things for his meal. Although, with his current situation, he had stop to plant, but make use of his spare time, was the contemplation to resume the previous productive work of making use of the plot behind the cottage in his idle moments. Among the numerous bunch of people he come in contact, was this neighbor of his who, they both have an affinity of spirit to engage in the same sport. He had a son almost like Bettino, but was not the best of friends but only with the Dad- Albetino. [b][/b]The reason was that they go on weekend bicycle ride together. Even, in spite of their age difference, they do fall into a discuss a great deal. A discussion of things of common interest during their ride. In the process, it becomes like a father and son affair instead of a friend, which was the impression they display, whenever such occasion arises. They would ride into the country side, even during the weekend as long as time could permit. But as Bettino could not really afford the authentic – sport bicycle, he single offhandedly managed to buy ordinary one and convert it into a real and authentic sport one. Although the mechanism was different but it never demonstrate any different from the real authentic sport cycle and always happy to ride with a friend like Albetino.

This cottage has this modern method of heating as well as the ancient method called chiming during of which during winter gives it an added incentive of attractiveness and an option in use. During the summer, Bettino spends most his time in the vicinity of the small forest to read some novels. And some other he would take his friends there, whenever they come around to spend some time in what he regard as a fascinating environment to cool off from the excessive heat. Although, he has always a strong sense of intuition that it must be a breeding enclave of some crawling reptile, except that he had never sighted any one. [b][/b] Sooner than later, there appear from nowhere this black reptile, very dark in color as he has never seems before all his life, if he wanted to be fair enough with his memory for an exact description. But it simply appears in the mix of an intense high temperature as never before witnessed in his entire past years in this country side. Although, he was shock beyond disbelief but not afraid, as he tried to scare it away instead of harming or killing it. A few days ago, after a lot of thought about it, he had sensed a type of minute- noise to depict its likely presence, although, unpronounced. Although, without much doubt in his mind, he sensed, it could be due to what looks like a speculation of the problem of ecosystem in the stratosphere that resulted in climate change. During this particular summer, there had been report of an incident in the media in recent time of the implication it had on the old and children. Accordingly, because of the excessive heat, as never before witnessed for so long, in all this years. In seeing this reptile, for the first time, what come to his mind was the change of whether and the level of heat it tends to generate. However, Bettino only just look at it with dismay with thoughtless observation for a few second, as he regain his senses to make a frantic effort to scare it away with the least intention to harm it. He was successful in his first attempt but after a few minute, it made its way back again as the sun glow with high level of temperature. Then he observed that it find its way right to where one of the tap was located behind the wall. Soon, Bettino, sighted the old mama, a neighbor behind the right end of the maintain and stop her immediately to recount his surprises. And her reply amusing, in her understanding that the reptile was out just to cool off due to the heat, hence, it was beside the tap to source for some water and not to harm anyone. Right or wrong, but with Bettino, this is unheard of. But the reality is that, the dam reptile did not have to worm itself in Bettino’s compound to defy his order. He tends to soliloquized to himself, as he reflects to ask why on earth it has to choose this very cottage to cool off. He thanked his neighbor of what he comes to view as two mode of reasoning in his partial acceptance of the presence of the dark reptile. The next time he sighted it, it was behind one of the window where a the tap was install newly , a sort of making a frantic effort, to drink some water, irrespective of the danger this may pose. With this scenario, Bettino was getting convinced it actually was thirsting for water as long as it was constantly being seen beside the tap. As Bettino was never in the mood of killing it, he was prepared just only to drive it off the compound, and with time, as the winter drawn very close, it finally disappears from the scene and was never to be s seen again. However, Bettino has been at work, when suddenly he decides to resigned himself for a reason best known to him, which reality was due in part of environmental intolerance. And when he finally opts to redundancy, he eventually fell into what looks like a depressive state of mind. And this was to last for a very long time. A situation that almost consume the best of him, as he decided to isolate himself completely from everyone and from everything. The truth could not be ascertained, as to whether he was truly aware of his state of being at the period as he fell into complete passivity. Only very few people tends to care of what he was going through or did not even understand he was going through any kind of situation. Bettino, had never come to know a lot of friends, hence, during this particular period, the only few friends he had known could not even come around to ask what was wrong with him. But he was contented, in his isolation, and was never prepared to see anyone, even though they send some emissary to verify the authenticity and motive of his recluse, but all in incognito. However, he could not disclose his reason to anyone, as he assumed that they knew why he did what he did to resigned his job that eventually lead to what look an acute depression unknown anyone. Even his immediate neighbor, were not left out of his incognito depression and never cares to have anything to do with him. He was at this time, completely in his own world, be it cold or hot he would never talk to anyone, even if there was need for such communication. He would sleep late listening to American FM stations that play a great deal of musical of the sort of country music and he tends to get all the consolation he crave for at any point in time. He does it with equanimity, as if the deejay at the other end of the divide seems to know what he was going through. Because, most of the country -music tends to blend and interpret his very state of feelings. And this he was often very delighted about as it absorb and squeeze out of him some of the congeal depression that defy his logic to understand. Although, he was well aware, that recognizing his predicament enables him to trust more of his logic than the imagination when it all matter most. It is during the winter that the beauty of the environment with snow fall becomes so fascinating. And it is always extraordinary as it lack adequate word to express the nature’s generosity and ingenuity at this time. It becomes a sight of extraordinary structure behind the mountain, unique in its way with a compelling attraction and embodiment of various elements; any contemporary culture has ever been exposed to have witnessed. Within the vicinity of this cottage are other cottages of equidistant apart. In one of this unique cottage resides this old middle age man of average height with fair color who seems to have migrated from Latin American country side. According to reliable information, he was said to be around this part of the enclave - coli-village for just a couple of years back. And was not having difficulty getting to know everyone around due to his friendly nature. Often, he gave an impression of one who knew the environment beyond what is expected of him and others do not know. Such that he is not quite an ignorant, in being exposed to the fascination of collie –Eugenie kind of stuff. He looks like a man who has traveled a great deal, not without a unique experience as such. He was also said to be very lucky to be in the cottage he has just packed into a couple of weeks ago. Before then a bunch of travelers have always wished they could get the cottage rented, and if nothing else for their summer holiday. Unfortunately their dreams never sail through to the reality of getting the cottage. With the providence on the part of Bettino, he got the place on a Plata gold in an enviable manner and quite unexpected. Although, he was unaware of the providential hand and the level of connections at play in his favors. Nevertheless, due to what looks like an intrinsic connection, unknown to Bettino, his friend who collaborated to make it possible, spearheaded the initial maintenance of the cottages. At the end of it all, Bettino was expecting he would ask for some token of payment to have carried out the maintenance but to his unimaginable surprise , his friend was so adamant in asking for any recompense. The truth of it all is that, the level of appreciation was not measurable compared with the level of assistance given. Although, Bettino, in his passiveness, never really say more than “thank-you “whenever such good is done for him. This gesture did tends to remind him of his past of which he was always been forced to say these words due to their importance. And he was reared in what looks like a staunch –conservative environment, of which what seems to count when an offense is committed against any one is just to say “Iam sorry” or when any good is done- you simply say “thank you” and that end it. But the level of excitement compared with most liberal attitude could be regarded as insufficient appreciation in is estimation. Read more on;-https://philoedu2017..com.ng/[color=#006600][/color] |
I simply play my favorite music or pick up a novel. |
The cottage behind the forest is a small building of four rooms in a low land between two hills of which one of the hills is a forest, hence, the cottage behind the forest. The low land is stretched in a compelling onward flourishing site to the farmland. The farmland full of cultivated maize growing in an extraordinarily manner that often draws any passerby attention. The cottage is beside the hill of Coli-Eugenie overlooking this impressive area of farmland of maize. Often, Bettino have a unique fascination to just have a glance on the farmland. And he would take a ride on his bicycle alone, come rain come cold in this Coli-Eugenie village that stretched over a vast area in the country side. The forest is not without ownership; hence, attached with it, is the forest guard to look after the forest to watch over it and drive away any miscreant or intruders. Because during winter, everyone is prone to want to fetch some wood for their use. The cottage is an enviable medieval structure of which many have strenuously tried to occupy, not only during the summer period but also winter. These people are mostly visitors from faraway country side, who often would like to have a long period of rest in the cottage with its ancient outlook. In fact, be it cold or hot period, it simply tends to maintain a unique and fascinating memorable atmosphere that would put one in a nostalgic past. To this fact, everyone takes delight just to view both the mountain and the surrounding cottage and they do that almost every evening when the sun is heading to descend in westward. The forest is right on top of the mountain and the surrounding area. The cottage fenced all round, often present itself from afar as an empty cottage. And unless they ask people around, it hardly present a looks of being occupied by anyone. But the reality is often the contrary as any occupant often feels comfortable not to know the impressive nature, the cottage hold to outsider and onlookers. Inside this cottage is a decoration of an impressive medieval architectonic structure that could put no one in doubt, why so many dreams to be an occupant. One of the fascinating wall pictures, Bettino could never forget was this same similar picturesque -cottage in the mixed of a huge snow fall. He tends to take particular interest in glancing on this picture hang on the passage in a unique pictorial faction. It often cut his attention as long as he passed beside this unique art work. He would look with dismay of what it might have taken in terms of imagination for the artist to figure out such artist work. In his modest estimation, it deserved to be ranked in status as equal to Picasso art work. And that the contrary is the case tends to disgust him a great deal and left him a hole in his reasoning faculty. In a brief description of the art work, it is a hunter with his gun on the shoulder as he came from the huge forest-with a bird on the shoulder, behind the cottage after spending the night hour of hunting. It was a night; it seems of huge snow fall, as he tried to force himself into the cottage through the main door to finally escape from the cold weather as the snow was still falling on him through into the front door. He was holding in his left hand, while with what looks like a huge-bird was with the gunpowder on his right shoulder. Such that the backgrounds of this unique cottage and, if you like, the surrounding was just like a forest on top of a maintain not quite different from the very one he is standing to observed the passage -art-work. His attempt to rationally understand the relationship between where he was and what he was looking at tend to elude his comprehension, just as it tends to be an exercise in futility. It remains a work of art; however, that one can never think of not to commit to memory. In his observation, an approach base upon intellectual analysis only tends to brings one back around to the dissatisfaction one may be trying to escape. Because, in his moment of recluse, he would be there in front of this unique picturesque looking at every detail of the unique painting he thought could be very real to find anywhere.Soon he realize that rationalizing one’s feeling when the emotion is strongly influenced by the unconscious urge is but a huge task. Apart from this picture, he was also being fascinated by the old furniture of the stampo –medieval, he was never bored to admire in the cottage. And only the decking of the roof that sometimes gives him a lot of concern. Such concern that stern from the noise it makes often as one walk on top of the wooden roof, as if every roof would fall down in an instant. Although, the reason being that it was made of wood, instead of the modern iron roofing. Of cause, such noise, no doubt, due to the exhaustive age of the material in use. In spite of this, the cottage has some modern facilities like borehole adjacent to the building with two method of heating; an option, not without envisaging the dynamic of the future- in progress.

Manzoni has come to realized that, his once old friend is but a toxic individual who misunderstood his good intention. And this gives him the idea of being conscious of identical individual with low level value system with similar inclinations. What looks like imaginative perception, often left him in a state of decomposition and speechless with an uneasy attitude behind many of the stony reserve attitude manifested toward him. But with the apprehension of such trends, due to incomprehension, he has come to learn to embrace an attitude of indifferent since he cannot force any change that is taking place. However, in spite of his many setbacks, but virtue of the subtle moral affinities, he was still capable of judging correctly any complex situation, although, the necessity was not always pleasurable for a man of his status. Holding a book and merely staring in some pages, has come to assist him to regain the lost sentiment of isolation necessary for reflection and continuity of his thought, even in the mix of insufficient means and precarious situation. In his character, there is certain contentment, a sort of an inborn religious placidity, uncommon trait united with some level of sensitivity favorable to the quiet and habitual observation of an imperfectly animate existence. In the process of recovery, he still need some level of power to convey to the consciousness of the abstract and elementary impression of silence. These influences, no doubt, tended to the dignity of human nature and at the same time tend to act as a tranquilizer, to say the least. When ever he encounter his fate, he looks with keen and resolute profile straight in the face, as he strive to utter some utterance to the central truth of human feeling. Of cause, in sincere and concentrated expressions of any recoiling flesh. Overtime, he learnt that every language posses its own fastidious genius that can expand with purity of its elements that must change along with the changing thoughts of the living people. His sensitivity and caution tends to pay off, as he strives to avoid over emphasis of certain emotional instinct as opposed to his intellectual background. Such background that enable him to capture the very moment of experience without descending to what he come to call the frozen formalities of every day struggle. Although, in spite of his predicament after his contact with Charlie Brawn, he still carry with him, the impassioned contemplation of a supreme example of intuition’s ability to reach the perception of that principle of unity beyond the attainable by rational analysis alone.” Be happy” Manzoni would cry in his moment of frustration and discouragement with what looks like a patient labor which for him and certainly was a condition for a great success and forward looking character. One of his many set back seems to be that he was never an orator of torrential eloquence like others who have the ability to sweep every one along in what looks like a rushing noise and foam of a great enthusiasm most people of today are so used to; an act of conformism. The same is true, that he dread a high level of much argument, although, not because any level in itself of such argument would shake his faith, except, the mere tendency to deviate from any conceptual element of objective nature of fact, often disconcert him painfully in his thought at once. Such thought that one might have assumed have cohabited for so long in his mental solitude, more barren than a waterless desert; such that no living voice have ever combated and commented, talk less of an approved. In spite of his numerous setbacks, he discovered that some people still lack the basic of the spirit of imagination essential to man, that contributed to Charlie’s attitude as to make him blind by what might be called idiotic vanity that left him to be so indifference to the very awareness of his level of atrocity committed. The result of such attitude is often the extreme confusion between cause and effect, manifested like most of the distinguished propagandist with impulsive bomb thrower with an assumed organization where in reality nothing of such exist. In reality, it is but an act possessed by an endless determination of Charlie Brown attitude to make one remain with stomach flat on the floor with no basic explication of such exasperation like a hungry man. The basic explanation according to Manzoni emanated from a derivative of an exasperation that has its root from what he termed social revenge but at something different from the ordinary passion of humanity. But it is not very far from psychological differences found among individual’s impressions where a phenomenon of distention of a hasty judgment of every event that take place, is an order of the day. Whatever the outcome, the shadow of their evil gift have come to clog to them like the smell of a deadly drug in an old recipient of poison emptied now, useless, ready to be thrown upon a heap of rubbish of things that have served their time. Aware of the conspiracy to distract him, he strives for prudent, convinced he could not count on any one emotional display of pity to the many of the contrasting attitude always of something of the ordinary like the bomb outrage. Such that for it to have any effluence at all, must extend beyond the intention of a vengeance and purely destructive beyond the faintest suspicious of any object. In such peculiar process of reality, he never lose focus for any chance to become what might be called the darling of providential force vibrating beyond humanity’s frequency of consciousness. With this attitude, he distance himself in order to make his proximity to rise above the spirit of Charlie brown , a key that will open up another dimension of what he regard as windfall. Because he come to view himself in the light energy of an acrobat, balancing across space and time. Although, it makes him curls his muscle into an obedient fierce creature, at a point, he realized, he has the primitive, ready to attack mentality, that readiness, as an act of seizing any opportunity to re-position himself.

The topic as you can see is tag "moral decadence" a sort of total decline in some standard of living in general term.This is both as a family, individual and indeed as a society. The question that may come up here is what do we transfer to the next generation in terms of culture and standard of living. Because, often it seems to me that, there seems to be a distraction in this line of thinking in general. Not that people are not aware that such concept or ideas as a contention do not exist to be seriously addressed. Except that people don't seems to share the very spirit of collectivism, on the contrary, often to the direction of individualism that do not seems to solve any problem other than to compound it. Now let me extend this further in terms of a continent like Africa who seems to find herself in what I choose to call "Bivio" or in a junction with many path way. What happen is that, she is a sort of get stranded of not knowing which part is the right way to take to get over her problems. Of cause, due to her problems, she becomes already nervous emotionally, not compose as she tends to blame others for her predicament. Some contingent and necessary truths might be available to rendered some insight of how to get the basic thing right. But as I said, the nervousness and emotional distraction, becomes an obstacle of which insecurity tends to find its shadow to overwhelms the spirit of of a clear thinking, to even know that -you just cannot -"do any quality jump" without the basic rules, simply because others are doing so. We as individual, as family and society, as I said, are just missing the point in disregard to certain basic issue like" Moral, Standard of living in our society of today, as in the concept of collectivism or individualism that tends to be playing a role without actually a well define role in the society at large. How long do we really have to remain in this Bivio-or Junction- is left to be desire, as there is always praises of inexplicable strive of development, truth or false?. Of cause, there is always a choice, of -Inductive method or Deductive Method-. In the first perspective to view what looks like this discrepancy , is "from the Particulars to Universal or General while secondly "from the General or Universal to Particulars. Do not get me wrong, because at the end, it has to do with taken responsibility of which every individual, family and society must be accountable either individual or collectively at the end of time-because distraction has level remember.

The story of the conspiracy of distraction is but a story of a unique existence palpable but not daunting. But revealing and not indicting but of a courageous life lived by a man of a unique individual in unique circumstances. Unfortunately, it is within the confused generation of his time. It is a story of an exciting man in a hostile environment that eventual left him speechless with the confused reality of the perennial question of to be or not be –of which is the question. It is of a man coming from afar, who had a taste of what it means to laugh and shear tears at the same time. He did it, not for the fun of it but for a deeper reason inexplicable in itself due to the circumstances that provoked such experience in an unusual circumstances. He is not a closed minded individual but an open minded one, who knows the importance and value of the benefit of experience. With such awareness, it has become his principle of influence that emanated from consistency and commitment in its wildest sense of the word in his own modi operandi. He is but Manzonian, a realist with unequal affinity with a deep sense of specifics. And in general a conscience of the power of extraordinary analysis of the trends of things. He may not be a perfect man but he doesn’t lack in the inclination to view reality in their face values and not without optimism. He has always come to view life as a journing rightly or wrongly, through which every one struggle to do his best, without falling by the way side for whatever reason. But as it plays out, he ran into what he calls-Charlie brown character, which as he tries assisting a friend along the way, with all good intention, he was simply kicked in his ash. During which before he could get back to his senses, his dear friend has already taking off. In such moment of delusion, in his good intention, he has either fallen in the process with an endless staggering without stability or he has fall completely lay with his stomach flatten on the ground. In such agony, if you ever have a falling experience like he did, you probably will agree without argument the need not to be told of what it is like to lie with stomach on the ground. Don’t get this narrative misunderstood, Charlie brown, may not have expected the level of which his friend went through or is still going through after their encounter. With good intention always on the side of every one irrespective of what is taking place, charley Brown view his action as normal in an environment of the winner takes it all. Therefore, being held responsible for what has happened is completely out of the point. The was obvious, like the god samaritan. After all, his friend had come a long way with all type of experience before they meet. In fact everyone does it, except that it varies in degree and circumstances. By the way who is Charlie Brown? According to World Encyclopedia of Comic, he is an epitome of the great American unsuccessful story, in that he fails virtually in every thing he does. Therefore, along the line, he become a lovable loser, a child possessed by endless determination and hope but who ultimately come to be dominated by his insecurity and a permanent case of bad luck. Often, he becomes an individual being taken undue advantage of by every one who comes his way. The same is true, he not only being taking undue advantage of, but also prone to being victimized by other characters beyond imaginable level. Even getting blamed when something goes wrong, and when he is not at fault but all due to his bad luck. The like of him is rarely incomprehensible and rarely unexpected in an uncertain environment just because he rarely does not fit in. But in an environment where material object is placed in high value as the only sole determinant of life, even if it has to be a in short duration, Charlie brown would be found there. He is often a representative of every character going through a hard time,even when one feel like nothing is ever going right for them. But he always refuses to give up, no matter how daunting such situation might be. Uniquely, he is forward looking and backward never character, such that in the face of depression, he is still very much optimistic and hopeful that it all must come to pass. In fact, he has the spirit of “always being blamed for whatever happens”, and he feels, no one like him, therefore, everyone else is constantly mocking at him and even when no one is saying so. But except though, when he tried to be funny with an act of defense mechanism to dispel from himself of any misgiving. The lovable loser, in its materialistic inclination, and scale of value, tends to find himself in low level. Because of this, since his encounter, things have never being the same with him again. This bitter pill of experience Manzoni had with Charlie brown along the way left him desolate and indifference to virtually everything around him, but not without some future lesson learn[b][/b]. Meanwhile, Manzoni due to this devastation of the so call encounter with such character, he come to perceive himself as a victim , even if no one ever made mention of it to his face- an indelible mark?.

[b][/b]They eventually arrived at their destination at the early hours of 7am in the morning, in what looks like a freezing whether that unfolds into a fascinating atmosphere that tends to conceal the severity of what is at stake, the climate change. At that moment in time, Cassidy in his passivity has lost sight of Jacobo as he wonder about, but Jacobo was keeping track not to miss him. Soon after, a dozen buses were brought in to convey them to another station. Once again Cassidy and Jacobo struggle to be together in this journey that lasted more than three hours from where they were pick up. And they were all conveyed to a very small village on top of a hill, not without some exciting and enviable panoramic view. Then, once again comes the placing of the various groups in their different hotel rooms as a sub-goups and Cassidy get himself missed up among the crowed while Jacobo immersed himself in an unending search to track him down as his roommate. But only in a moment interval, he discovered and over hard as they called out Cassidy’s name which has already been merge with another room-mate. This splitting, on the part of Jacobo never go down well with him. The reason was clear because they will never be regrouped again. As they were now merged differently with other individuals. For the next two months Jacobo held Cassidy responsible for such displacement and the result that will led to their unit and class split for a very long time. But the bitter truth, and if you like, Cassidy was just indifferent of such splitting .And the reason is was clear, as he come to view it as an opportunity to experience a different interaction with others. Instead of their usual cart and rat movement that was never yielding anything other than what can be said the stampo- clamoroso, to say the least. Although, it was only Cassidy who tends to reasoned this way. But in contrary expectation, Jacobo tends to reason it differently to have left him into a mild filed of resentment of which Cassidy was so passive about. While they were in the hotel, a lot of events unfold one after the other. And one of such event that stand out of which he could not afford to forget was when he was eating a snack in the open air. Because of the freezing whether he was unable to hold and chew the snack due to his unsteadiness. As it falls constantly from his hand, he decided he was never going to letting it go, as he struggles to finish it up. It was at this point; he recognized the new reality he was into and reminds himself of the usefulness of the two weeks excursion he had attended during the striking period back home. Being a rover-scout, he reactivated the motto in his mind that often read- “Be prepared”, because the word, apart from its literary connotation, its ontological meaning often come to fascinate him as a source of encouragement rather than inspiration. Although, this only occur, when he had to contend with unusual environment, with its extra ordinary and unexpected misunderstanding. And the one he sensed he was going to be facing seems very uncertain in spite of its coloration. Read more on ;-https://philoedu2017..com.ng/. |
Cassidy- had left the country side to the urban city, many years ago at the age of sixteen soon after his sixth grade to further his college education. After the transfer, he was greeted with a very different reality, he later come to view as an uphill task as he tried adjust to the new yielded-filed of realities. Although, seems promising, he was aware he needed a constructive creative effort to get what he set himself to achieve. Yet he was also well aware he needs to work hard, if his expectation must be meant in his silent journey. Along the way, Cassidy never for a moment fail to realized that he was going to further his education anytime. He never doubts about this, whether he gets the necessary assistance or not as long as he work hard towards. And to this prospect, he was always optimistic as a compelling necessity.The same is true he never loses sight of his prayerful background with some level of faith and this he would hold firm to be true. He still remembered in his residing apartment, the catholic-priest who stays in the last floor. With his presence, Cassidy never for a day fail to attend the morning mass before taken up any task of the day. [b][/b] Sometimes, they could just be two or three person present at the mass, of which often times; he acted as the mass-server. With this trend of things and upbringing, he had the necessary encouragement and some level of faith that would remind him of the task ahead of him. In this perspective he never for a moment lose sight of what looks like a personal vision, as far as his carrier was concerned in his conduct. He also tends to take himself very seriously such that, after the day’s work, he would join the group of friends to spend the night in the library to read, known by then as –Awoko. Even, if it meant spending most of the time to sleep off, like many others , with just a few hours of reading, it still a way to take himself serious of what he intend to do with himself. Although, he was yet to enroll into a secondary school, yet majority of his friends were already at the university and they seems to admire and love him for his conduct. And in particular, his tachitunum- (silence) with an appearance of a humble unique individual. It is this uniqueness and in what looks like a humble beginning of appearance, that distinguish him from others and made most of his friends to even gives him freely their own meal ticket on daily base. In fact, he was like” when a child washes his hand clean, he eats with the elders”. Cassidy though, an introvert individual he maybe, this tends to have a telling on him .Because often he had difficulty explicating his problems, even when it appears glaring in his face value. However, inspired he maybe, he refuse to let lose the cure spirit of humbleness, as a concept not only in abstract but leaving it since he read it, in one of the novel he loved so much and of which he read a great deal in the past, by “Chinua Achebe’s “Things fall apart”, although, he admired Okonkwo, as character, but he never embrace his high level of courage to get rid of Ikemefuna, who mistook Okokwo to be her father. He did not particularly like the heading initially, until he read it, with this adage he could not forget- according to which:- “ those whom their pan-cane are being broken for them, by a benevolent spirit, must not fail to be humble” and for him, he told himself he belong to this category of individuals, and hence, strive to be humble. Gradually, in facing -up to his reality, “nell bene, nell male”or in good or bad situations, he has now come to the point of making a change. And all along, he had never wasted a moment without thinking of doing something different, if that would mean a demonstration of eagerness and seriousness in his determination. It was this mindset that actually propels him to join the boys scout when he eventually enters into college. During the time they had undertaken some expeditions, and what seems to standout was this two-week he spent in the bush without telling anyone. As a group, they were about a dozen of them, as they match to the outskirt of the town into a nearby forest of which they spent the next two weeks and feed for themselves without taken anything along. And when they were going, they were only allowed just a kit for those of them who chose to take a few things; otherwise, no one was to carry any edible item along. In fact, they were divided into four groups of which Cassidy was made a leader of his group. Before any execution of any given task, the group must have to wake up at 4am to run a couple of kilo- meter to the nearby village. And when they get there, they must start the cleaning up from one street to the other that has come to be called –a civic duty. And sometimes, the villager will wake up to meet them busy themselves struggling with the pile up rubbish to do away with them. With this activities, the villagers tends not to comprehend the act, and not always without a great surprise, and a great deal of explanation behind the act. This is obvious, simply because of the unique and a kind of experience rare to the villagers, of which they have never witnessed in their life time. As they even come to view them and thought at a time, it was a ghost -invasion of their villages, in particular, at that early hour between five and six, when two people could not clearly identify themselves. And to be exact, it was about five to ten kilometer they had to cover daily to get ride and clean[b][/b] up the refuse, as they move from one village to the other for two weeks. Soon he opens his eyes to realize he was too far away from home with a new experience to contend with this time, when his friend tap him to wake up for another journey.

Before this day, Cassidy has always had to struggle as a young lad with an oversight with which he was brought up in an average family. Such family that do not have to lament so much in terms of those basic and essential things of life. In his peculiarity, he had a great expectation of what he wanted to become; a burning ambition to go to a great school and do great things. The slow pace of events in his great expectation often tends to frustrate and devastate him before this particular strike came up. And it was like an unbearable and difficult thing to have happened to him that looks impossible to contend with at this time. Now the preparation tends to be gradually gearing on in slow pace and Cassidy in his unusual passive habit, was simply doing what he has to do. He simply moves on in his cake making and reading his novel, as if nothing is happening. In fact, he wake up this morning feeling a bit tired but soon remind himself of what looks like unpredictable future ahead. He did baked into the night, and knew this was not going to be an excuse to wake up late. With this momentary reflection he sprang out of bed, as he remembered the cake must have to be ready for the wedding the next day. Granny as it were, never relent to source for some of the necessary things for Cassidy’s use during his travel, and of cause, including his friend. But for Granny’s resent summer tour, she never stops exaggerating how she spent her holiday, as she now find Joe as a perfect companion in such discussion. The same is true, as she delve into what seems to be a prediction of what to expect in -admonition for adequate preparation for their travel. And of this Joe tends to find an unusual interest, in attempt to curtail his outing, knowing that Granny was doing everything to assist both of them. This is because she has come to familiar herself with the various weather conditions, as they vary with the months in Europe. And she figure out that February was going to be very cold in Europe, for the two gentlemen who were schedule to travel. And she knew the implication of that with the much spoken about, called the climate change. With such knowledge, she took it upon herself to equip both of them with the psychological and physical aspect of what they might expect during the time. And she make sure everyone of her friends were never left out of such assistance to Cassidy, of which many come to view as a void without his presence in his cake making. On the D-day Cassidy left for Europe with his friend to further his studies, and behold they got there in the heart of the winter as never before in the history of its time, of which the major contributor rightly or wrongly in its severity, was the culpable climate change.

[/b][b][b][/b]Not many of us are aware that there is a historical support for the idea of the word “culture” brought to our mind. It was in the 19th- century, when Mathew Arnold- (1822-1899) define “Culture as the best that has been thought and spoken in the past”. Of cause, this is evidence that an eminent thinker considered culture just like “Education”-being defined as a worthwhile, is something which involve the handing on of value. The same is true, that culture is a cumulative thing, with the result that increases in strength or importance. This means that in each generation, when it taught and wrote something that was worthwhile- education, must add something to the existing culture. The “idea” of value and excellence seems to be clear here, when considered in the perspective of Norman’s definition of culture, as the “pursuit of perfection” and in particular, if we recall “Plato’s Educational ideal for Guardian”. And the ultimate aim of their education was simply the contemplation of the Good of which Nettleship (1938) described as “ascent to truth”. In the same token, Sir R. Livingstone (1944) made the connection between Elites, Excellence and Culture. In his view, the spread of democracy cannot in anyway help in the “standard”-even when democracy is interpreted in social or Educational term. In the same vein, to call masses into power is to dilute the existing culture. This same is true, reflecting in the perspective, he concludes by saying that “Life without standard is the most barren life of all, sweet in the mouth but bitter in the belly”. And M. Arnold did emphasized a great deal, on the importance of connection between culture and right standards and condemns the upper class of his days, as he labeled them “Barbarians”, of which the reason stern from what he called their obsession with sport and physical prowess. On the part of the middle class, they were not left out of this condemnation in his days, as he labeled them “philistines” simply because they seems to focus too much on material aspect of life to the detriment of every other aspect as we tends to be doing in this current generation.

In the first place, we understand by “concept’’-as it refers to a procedure or an abstract idea. And the word “Idea” refers to plan formed by mental effort. With this in mind, we can go ahead to see what the concept of culture is all about. In fact, Culture is a term we come to use very frequently just like the term “Education” with little precise meaning. The reason being that it is a word that seems to convey to most listeners, a general impression instead of precise idea. This general impression is of “doing the done thing”. But there seems to be a connection of the term “Culture” with activities like listening and reading, eating and drinking as well as behave in an acceptable way. With this, there seems to be justification that link culture and education as both involve “doing the done thing”. And we are told that Education is concern with what is worthwhile activities .Therefore it is clear that any person who perform what looks like a worthwhile activities as mentioned above, is refer to as a cultured person. However, they all tends to develop through history which has become traditionally accepted. And a close examination of the past tends to show that generation after generation have also attempted to match up with what look like a vague idea of education and culture, or an educated man and a culture man. What seems common is the fear of not “doing the done thing” that may result to public disapproval. And if you like, such disapproval by a section of the public may come to view them as doing things that “are not-done”. This line of thinking, no doubt, tends to lead us to view the connection between education and culture as well as the idea of gentle man and the public or society. Often it appear, that society or the public, at least in part, come to determine what is culture and the same is true, of the existence of a connection between what is worthwhile-Education and Culture. According to Peter- education implies the transmission of what is worthwhile, and the word “implies” seems to suggest that when you think of education, you think of people handing on values to other people. But here there is a connection between education and culture of which both appear to involve values and transmission. Therefore the need to be careful of what value this current generation is handing over to the next generation in the society of today. And could it be, that this current generation only seems to care of what looks like a well developed and technologically advance society but with little concerned about our family and spiritual values.?

In the turning point of event was on Monday of the new week, and Cassidy felt very uneasy, but in spite of this, he did manage to get back his focus soon after, without given way to any form of pessimism as a lost in the maize. But one thing was certain, he was anxiously waiting to see Jessica.But when the mom came around, she was alone as she disclosed that Jessica would not be around as she have decided to spend the remaining holiday period in London. At this point, the idea of seeing Jessica to break the news of his traveling soon could not materialize , and at this point Cassidy found himself completely devastated mentally. But in a split moment, he felt a cloud running over the sky for an imminent down pour of an unusual rain fall. The reason was very obvious, she was the type, he likes just to see and feel her presence although, he could never say he was in love with her, even if they do not discuss a great deal but it is -a kind of unique affection. However, he felt very bad and for not going to see her again, even before she finally leave but he soon, remind himself that after all, he was going to travel out, even though, he was yet to be confirmed when that would be. And he remembered, she did promise him she would come around in one of the holiday whether in London or at home in Nigeria. Nonetheless, Cassidy resulted to self accusation, because he now reflected to remember her worry of his passiveness to listen to her whenever she was talking. But Cassidy would not and will always regard such moment as a distraction, and this may be the consequence. As it were, he promised himself to take it that way it is in other to planned for his coming traveling, he least expected, that may come up soon. Right down in his heart, he was bleeding, as he found he was actually in love with Jessica but due to his passiveness, he could not recognize it as to make it known to her. In the cause of preparation, Granny took the responsibility of making sure they will be sound and healthy when they get there, irrespective of when they will be leaving to be there in Europe. This was due to the weather that could be very severe depending when they get there. Because Granny has travelled far and wide, even to the U.S.A, of which she was always, jokingly boasting with an excitement with Cassidy, how she stood at the podium of the U.N, as an imaginable experience of a life time. And to buttress, this fact, when she eventually left to America at the time, Cassidy was still in the school, as she left everything in his custody to take care off. During the time, there was this couple who were anxiously wishing that Granny will be the one to make their wedding cake, but unfortunately[b][/b] for them, Granny was not around to do it. Yet they figure that Cassidy must be the underdog behind it all, since Granny, in realty was quite aged, and therefore, they were not going to back down in the quest mean business. With this mindset, they came to the school to ask for Cassidy, and he was just having one of his drawing class, but he was called out to attend to some individual outside, presumed to be his family members. As he saw them, he immediately intuited what they wanted and without argument about the amount, he accepted to get it done for them without problem in just two weeks time. Then he asked for the advance of the money, to enable him to procure the ingredient to proceed in the making of the wedding cake without close supervision. To be able to make the cake, he knew he must ascertain among other thing, the ingredients and what other things is available. And soon after the school he checked that everything was just there to get it done and opens Granny’s bedroom to hide the advance money given to him under the pillow and locked the door. As it were, he was assign the custody of everything and must be ready to account and take responsibility. At the same period, there was this coetana, -a town person, Cassidy had assumed with all honesty and to have known for a long time, indientro- far back, who also want a birthday cake but without any advance money paid within the week. Without wasting time, he got everything ready in the first one week, both the birthday and the wedding cake, as he expect they come for them with the remaining part of the money. The couples came to discover that it couldn’t have been more beautiful than what they saw and were very overwhelmed with joy of a life time. But the birthday unfortunately was never paid for but the cake collected due probably of trust which was never reciprocated, if you like a sort of betrayer of trust. Then he kept all the proceed hidden under the pillow, without saying a word to any one, as the only one who have the access to Granny’s bedroom. When eventually, Granny came back, he simply explicated all what happened in her absence in such simplicity beyond any imagination. But for Granny, who has traveled far and wide for side seeing, knows quite well, what it means to came back with virtually nothing left in her purse, after a lot of acquisitions of one thing or the other, as she presented Cassidy with a wristwatch tag- Bristle. Before Cassidy left her, he simply refers her to a pillow on the left hand side of the bed to pick what was paid for the cake he made in her absence. And he tendered his apology or can it be called misconduct, but in either way, he knew he must tell Granny, he was sorry over what has happened over the cake not paid for, but he was simply told not to worry about it. But when Granny went for the Money, she could not believe what she saw and she simply thank Cassidy and gave him a buck of it beyond his disbelief and from then on Granny was always prepared to stick out her neck to assist him out in whatever he chose to do and the scholarship becomes the avenue to reward his dedication and humbleness.And they traveling was schedule to come in February, that was figure out to be one of the coldest period in Europe, although, depending on which part, as it were.

In regard to Cassidy and Jacobo, in their idea to get the scholarship. They have been figuring out ways and method to facilitate the matter at hand of which Madam Teddy seems the potential one to assist. To this end they would fall into various options, but it was certain, doubt must not be allowed to take over their optimism. And Jacobo was always ready to guide Cassidy in this direction of the best option, which was Madam Teddy; he was often very close when making cake for her and tends to appreciate his passion. Because of what looks like the closeness between them, Jacobo continue to reminded Cassidy that the lady in question likes him; therefore, she could be very well disposed to assist them in their bid, since he is the one who always bake for the family most of the time. Therefore, the idea that she was not going to be of help was unlikely very remote. Then Granny promised to get in touch with Madam Teddy to find out the rudiments, in the facilitation of the process of getting a positive response. It was according to the extraction from the newspaper during the previous week that was still at play. And it was the procedure that Cassidy and Jacobo were still trying to work out through Madam Teddy that was confirmed to have a positive exit according to Granny. After this piece of information of positive exit, this tends to inflame Cassidy’s day with confidence as never before. Although, he had tried not to let the cat of the bag, even when Jacobo meet with him to discuss the matter as to the level of which Madam Teddy could be of help in their aspiration. Nevertheless, Cassidy often try to assure Jacobo, he was going to intensify his finding of the right connection to get a positive response. With this assurance, Jacobo overtime tends to curtail his outside movement as he mount pressure on Cassidy on daily bases not to relent. But as if to remind him that every second count and of his obligation to put up his best to have positive outcome, although, in this pressure, Cassidy find it irritating. This is true, on the part of his friend, simply because if this is something that was going to work out, there would be no need to look for any form of occupation; Jacobo tends to reasoned. In this perspective, mounting pressure on Cassidy to follow up, no doubt, also tends to gives the impression and actually it did tends to curtail his movement as it becomes an avenue to compensate for his unusual random movement, that he was known for. In the family, Granny has even with her acumen in observation, have scolded him about this, as she revealed openly the very positive outcome of the deal which Cassidy have been reluctant to confirm. She would say, come here, just because you are about traveling out, you now decided to stick around, otherwise, we all know you that you are found of staying outdoor. With this outburst of what looks look like -la verita-or truth, everyone would burst out laughing, excited that the two friends are lucky to be traveling soon. Within the next one week, a directive was issued out for the immediate collection of the form with all the necessary documentation to be made. Behold, it was Madam Teddy who was the overall head of the office, as confirm by Granny, and who is issuing the directive and disbursement of the forms. On the part of Cassidy, he was not too surprise, but Jacobo did until the last time Granny openly scolded him that almost confirm before hand of the situation. Although, Granny is aware her friend work there, but did not really know, if she was in direct position to assist. And when Jacobo was informed that Madam Teddy was actually in charge of the department, he became excited and was not too surprise that it was a done deal. . At the end of the day, both Cassidy and Jacobo were very sure that, it has been done and they went home in complete excitement to inform Granny about the whole show of their acceptance. They both recount the story of Madam Teddy, of how she was of great help to them, in her assurance to make sure everything work out accordingly for both of them. It must be said that Madam Teddy, is a foreigner who get married to indigenous individual of high personality of which Madam Teddy became a respected Lady themed qualified to head the department. And whenever, she needed a cake instead of getting it from any other place she would come to Granny, as one known for excellent and beautiful decoration of cake making. Cassidy in his unique disposition to embrace anything that comes his way, will not only learn to do it, but also come to be gradually known as he become a teacher who thought a bunch of them in the process . And it was just like the saying- “that when the young learn to wash his hand clean[b][/b], he can eat with the elder” and if you like, according -Achebe author “of things fall apart”-“those whom their pan cannel are been broken for them, by a benevolent spirit, should not fail to be humble”. In fact, Cassidy was found to be very humble, hence, he was admired by Madam Teddy and others, who are always prepared to go extra mile to assist, of which his friend was never in doubt of his connection.

The peculiar attitude of Cassidy is that he was very condescending when it has to do with domestic orientation and with this attitude he is loved by all. But this he was never aware, until he was instructed to teach people without any guidance and not without commendation. Cassidy love baking and cooking and although Jacobo, as a friend of his, was not all that too interested as a result of his instability and flexibility in domestic issues, hence, he could not learn how to make cake. And was not often disposed toward anything with domestic bearing like Cassidy. During the holiday, Jessica with her Mommy came around to use her holiday to learn how to make cake and the one who was to teach her was Cassidy. But before then, they have always come around to order for cake whenever any birthday in the family is comes up.And Cassidy did manage to have an unusual interest in both reading and baking simultaneously[b][/b]. He actually learn to do this from when the school was functional and when he has to do any exam, just to keep up with time without any excuse. Because, after missing his cake he would continue with his novel from where he stops, hence, he eventually develops the habit of reading and baking. And this have seems to be a part of him ever since. And overtime, has come to develop the very act in the structured and articulated timetable to getting the work done whenever there is need to bake. This time around could not be different with a well planned timetable with Jessica. And when Jessica came, she discovered that Cassidy was so interested in reading novels to such an extent that even though, he is busy mixing the cake, he still manage to held his novel in his armpit, just to take up the line of reading from where he left it. And he does this so perfectly that, it helps him to finish any one novel he engages himself to read. It was this attitude of his that tends fascinate her so much about Cassidy, but without saying it openly. Rather she engages herself to make so many advances in her interest in Cassidy but for him it was just a distraction that tends to infringe into his timetable of work, hence, he was adamant. And yet everyday he was always expecting to see Jessica, of which when she fails to show up, it was as if something mysterious has happen to him, without his consent and in what looks like a void , he would lose his appetite, not only to concentrate but even to want to read. But whenever they show up, he manages to observe that he becomes very different and not without excitement, mentally and physically. Although, as an introvert of what he is, he never came out openly, but often, mutedly to say anything of his affection and love for her. Often, Jessica, would immersed herself in questioning him, as she expect a response, but to her dismay the answer was always not forthcoming and without even, extending the discuss as Jessica would have appreciate to have it just to show her he was also interested in her.. As it often plays out after a few weeks, she come to the understanding that Cassidy was probably inexperience or has something to hide or just been timid. Then she comes on him very bluntly that in a weeks’ time she will be going to England to remain there until she finish her studies. Reluctantly, Cassidy made her to understand he may probably want to get a scholarship to go out too. But to where exactly this place would be, this he could not imagine for now, but it was obvious and Jessica saw it, at that moment that he was interested in her, except that he was the timid type of individual. Even though, he never come to recognized himself in that light but he knew that was the case. At one point in time, Jacobo came in from one of his unusual outing, as he came with the information that it may be wise to applied for a scholarship he read about in one of the daily paper a couple of hours ago. As it were, Jacobo is a long time friend of Cassidy, who have just arrived from school. He would have finished at the same time with Cassidy, but due to their indefinite strike that have almost taken a whole section, Cassidy then, still have one year to go, but for his friend, he needed to get himself into the job market to settle. And this becomes one of the reasons; he actually opts to stay with Cassidy, just to enable him to lay hand on daily papers. Because, in the family, they often get about three to four of the daily papers, of which Jacobo is well aware could facilitate any information for any job hurting. Then Cassidy asked for the paper for him to have a glance through, so as to ascertain the veracity and can access very closely, if it really worth applying for, so that they could both apply for it. Nevertheless, Cassidy was very skeptical about the whole issue of applying, due in part because he was yet to round up with just only one year from now. And secondly, on the part of Jacobo, without the involvement of Cassidy, it might be difficult without seeing the light of the day due to so many logistics and connections involved. But Jacabo knew it that at this point in time Cassidy is much favored in whatever it takes to get it. In this line of thinking, Jacobo made his friend to understand, very bluntly he certainly will have nothing to lose in make an attempt judging from the content of the scholarship, and it is oversea in that matter, hence it is an opportunity very rare not to miss. And Jacobo so trust Cassidy when it has to do with connections, in this sort of things, because of his cake making, of which he has thought a bunch of people. And also because he was very much listen to about anything that has to do with his education. And it was as if Cassidy was already having an insight when he told Jessica of the possibility of getting a scholarship to travel a few days ago. The moment, Cassidy read through, he was excited and saw immediately the possibility of getting through and reported the matter to Granny who tends to shear his vision every time he come up with one like this . Granny reminded Cassidy of one Madam Teddy, who is a very good friend of the family, who could be of great help in that direction, because it seems she was actually in charge of the very office of issuing the scholarship papers. With this information, both Jacobo and Cassidy were very sure they have already got it without question due to this unique connection through Cassidy. Read more on ;- https://philoedu2017..com.ng/ |
The truth is that both Joe and Jacobo suppose to have finished their schooling at the same time, but due to the strike going on, Jacobo is unable to finish his program. In the village both of them could not actually do without the other in terms of their level of friendship. And it was this same mindset that Joe had, in making him to chooses to come and stay with Jacobo instead of going to stay with his own sister and other relations, in spite of the difficulties to cope with space in the metropolitan setting, which is quite different from the village life . In Joe’s modest estimation, there is nothing wrong with putting up with a friend irrespective of whether the space is there or not. It is all about simply refusing to assist a friend in need, and with that in mind, Jacobo remain muted in acceptance of whatever his friend chose to do and instead of going to his sister, which was a stone throw from there, he decided to systemize himself among the already congested space with Jacobo in one room. In this unexpected situation, he knew he must be extra careful not to offend his friend as he observed that in any slightest thing, he friend could want to leave to his nearby sister in his already muted grievance. When Joe was still in school, he was often around to spend his holiday with Jacobo, but always in a different atmosphere and environment coupled with the excitement of all what holiday come to depict. And in comparison with their current state, a lot of thing has changed of which Jacobo was reluctant to revealed to Joe, that has almost cause a rift between them. But Jacobo knew he will only have to make sure, that both of them are not starving during the cause of Joe’s stay that seems to be indefinite in all ramifications, like the indefinite strike he seems to find himself. The reason for this line of reasoning was simply that no time Jacobo ever made it official of his presence previously, whenever he came around, simply because he was use to flash in and flash out, which was the kind of his stay. Unfortunately, he was also an individual who cannot stay a minute in a go and to buttress this fact he would go about visiting his relations in the pretext that he was asking to be assisted for a job now that he has finished his study. Often, this was true but other times it was just an escape from assisting in the domestic affair of the enclave. Gradually Jacobo was able to introduce his friend to Granny this time around as a visitor in the house, otherwise, Joe would simply be there consuming his daily ration of food without been seen. But when he was finally introduce as a friend from school, Granny was now always striving to make sure he did partake in every meal, although, not knowing that Joe never like staying around, only when he is hungry he care to come around. One day, a meal was to be served but Joe definitely was not to be found at the time and Jacobo knows it, but Granny has never be informed of Joe’s habit, which was the snicking out at will without even informing anyone of his where about. But the moment she got to know about it, she scolded Joe beyond recognition and asks him, if he has partaking in any dog -meal in his life, which according to her could be responsible for his instability and his high level of propensity, of which he always want to be on the move from one place to the other. But this could not make any slightest positive or negative impact on him toward any adjustment to want to change his movement. And Jocobo, however, was well aware that such concept with his friend in itself is too foreign for him to understand. Granny on her part, an erudite conservative of the stampo-Victorian era, tends to view his visitor as part of the household irrespective of who the individual maybe. And of what come to be known as a responsibility is a concept that must be taken seriously towards any such individual. The body language of Granny in respect of this concept, for Jacobo, is understood and acquainted to so well, but for his friend, he seems to be unaware in all its ideas and concepts as a term to grapple with in any language analysis and observation. Jacobo and his friend are two individuals in opposite pole, although, identical in outlook and in temperament. Granny was preparing to treat Jacobo with all due respect as August -visitor of the house but his friend never come to view himself in that light in any slight imagination. On the whole, Jacobo simply tends to laugh on every issue that has to do with his friend whenever, Granny wants to call toward his friend, although, Jacobo was never going to reveal any of this intriguing situation to his friend about his conduct. But out of curiosity, Jacobo went further to really get the fact about dog-meat meal but only to be told, it was one of those saying of the past without any form of verifiable objectivity in the concept. But the truth in of all this, in what looks like a modern culture, such meal actually comes to be adored a great deal in some section of the modern day culture. From Granny’s observation, it immediately occur to Jacobo that, if his friend must stay with him for a very long time he must be prepared to handle the mantle of defense , even if it amount telling a consistent lie in order to maintain his friend’s integrity and in what may look like a questionable character. Because Granny was not too use to any such attitude due to her conservative nature. In this perspective, Jacobo had to struggle daily to conform and protect, of which his friend was never aware in what looks like his freelance attitude, not without mind burgling propensity with low level of observation. In this climate his friend still behave as if he was still in school or with one of his elder sister as he snick out often to see them. But that there seems to exist; some diverse level of viewing reality between these two individuals cannot be disputed. Read more on;- https://philoedu2017..com.ng. [b][/b] |
[b][/b] It is one of those hazy day, unlike the previous days, although, there was nothing particularly extra ordinary in comparison. Except that today was all about day dreaming, which may be due to some worrisome known or unknown situations? But what exactly, this he could not accurately figure out nor imagine the very nature. It is worrisome to stay home doing nothing all because of the strike going on in the school, he suppose to have rounded up in years time. But because of the indefinite strike of a thing going on, he could not really be certain that his finishing up will see the day light soon. And this could simply also come to mean that in another two or more years, he may never round up. It was this state of things that seems to be spinning his head unceasingly on daily bases. Although, he had tried to get his mind off the line of worry, and to convince himself that he was not alone in the game, if it might be called so. In spite of what look like an inquietude feelings, Cassidy , often try to couple himself together in other to flow along with the current reality- nel bene nel male i.e (in good and in bad time)- not without focus, in virtually everything he set for himself to accomplish for the day. The thought, of expecting to be called back soon, could not erase from his mind, due to the word “indefinite”, even though he tends to disagree them in the use of the concept, in a place where people must care for one another. For him, he view such word, as an act of not being care enough and of the likely implication of what posterity or legacy this would result. He was quite aware that even though, he was not particularly a brilliant chap, but this does not mean they should not reflect over a single word and its future implications. After a couple of hours of reflection, he recognized that this time around could serve as an opportunity to recover from some of the area at school in which he was not too good. Often he would shovel from one book to the other as he soliloquizes to ask where he needed to read the more to help himself. But only to discover that he was not really too good in any of the subject, instead, he must read all of the them, if he must improve in the subjects, whenever they are called to resume. This time, he became a little addicted to reading novels like the Hardly Chase books , as he was almost doing away with his school subjects. However, it has now becomes a habit that, among his few clicks of friends , they now seems to boost of how many type of such novel they read in a week, but not without some explication of the subject matter of the novel, although, in fair judgment, this new interest of his could be profitable in his literary subject, no doubt. In fact by this time, the terms were already running out and he discover he had read a bunch of these novels. The same could be said that Jacobo was already an ardent lover of anything literary and debating society, even though he was never a good public speaker, so to say due partly to his very nature, but he did admire them a great deal, those of them in their eloquent display of their passion during practice and would always want to be like them. He knows, he only needed to cultivate the interest to do so, hence, now that he is very much interested to reading novel instead of his books, this could not be judged as a bad omen. Cassidy in his new awakening, now have to reschedule his timetable with his daily routine work with reading, without much worrying about the indefinite strike. In the literary debating society, he was one of the executive member of which he was always looking forward to making a different before suddenly the strike began which contributed to his much love for anything literature as it were. During this time, Cassidy never want to see any of his friends to gossip about anything or anybody, as it often the case among students, although, he has a habit of not visiting friends but they could come to visit him in their numbers and that was never a problem for him. Due to his new time schedule between reading his novel and his domestic work, he seems no longer have time for anyone. Among his class mate, there was one of them who seems to be very fond of him and would always want to be with him, if nothing else, just to be him for a few hours to discuss about the long delay of finishing up. Because it simply means, when the strike will be call off, another year may have to be added to get things in order before rounding up their final year. And then they will be thrown into the job market which all them have been anxiously looking forward to prove themselves, except some very few of them who would want to apply to go to university. Cassidy - knew, he belong to those few categories of those who might be nursing such idea, but he would never say it openly due to contingent reasons inexplicable. In one of such visiting, he told Ojemeke point blank that enough of his visiting, except strictly on invitation, he is no longer going to be welcome until the call off of the strike because he is no longer readies to immense himself in what termed frivolous gossip about the strike. In the same vein, Ojemeke should try and get himself occupied with books or something instead of coming to disturbed him. He was saying this in what looks like a reprimand mixed up with joke, of which Ojemeke was unable to dissect the true from reality. And in what looks like, an outside who don’t know the level of their relationship would regard as a connotation of insulting language. But Cassidy did manage to spare a few hours with him before send him away for good to concentrate on his schedule task for the day. After a few days later, Jacobo arrived from school, another of Cassidy friend, to say that he has finished his program. Although, for Cassidy this was never a problem except the disruption of his new timetable of which Jacobi has now come to put to a hurt due to his presence with him. Because Cassidy and Jacobo seems to be two individual, although compatible to a level, but they remain like Aristotle and Plato, the Greek philosopher, for those who may care to know what differentiate them in their outlook. |
Great, an error of misconception of topic construction, thanks |
When we speak about the word of-“incompatibility” we simply means two ideas or actions etc, that are incompatible and therefore, not acceptable or possible to be together due to some basic difference. But compatibility means any two ideas or actions, that neither is possible to be together due to nor existence of any basic difference. As it were, these incompatibilities exist everywhere, like among people, places, environment and in activities that does not just align with who we are inside. But more often, we intentionally make up our mind to fall in line just to make end meet. And we do this consciously or unconsciously, but without the passion or interest necessary to galvanized and motive us along the way. The reason for this stern from our freedom of choice that sometime, often land us into a wrong decision taking, of which a lot of factors come into play. These factors are diverse, the most common could be to just conform, which is the problem of incompatibility of which we are inside us. It is true that when our external reality is not in sync with our inner self, the result is resistance with the feeling to escape or to jump the fence, in avoidance of our circumstance instead of facing up to it. This is the reality many of us tends to face with a secret silence, which often, becomes individual problem as it escalates into a societal one. The same is true that we often come to feel powerless to make any change, but deep down is the very sense of a strong desire to get out and leave some part of our reality behind. And all these are in relation to our environment and the type of relationship we tends to keep. Read more on-https://philoedu2017..com.ng/ [/b][b] |
Congratulation to Nigeria for that, but I think Nigeria must strive to be inward looking instead of always, of what goes on outside. The house must be put in order domestically or otherwise, if you like in every sector of the economy. |
The difference between broad and narrow concept is said to be parallel in the very basic function of human mind. Often, the broad mind is always fluid and constantly assimilating new information and it is a mind that expands in its perceptual with creative power. Inversely, the narrow mind is often the frozen and self- limiting in receding into what might be called a repetitive layer of fixated vision with fruitless effort to affect the world around it. It must be made clear, that concept here tends to refer to a procedure and abstract in nature formed by group of individual. While idea refer to a plan formed by mental effort and not abstract in nature. Read more on ;- https://philoedu2017..com.ng[b][/b] |
When Cassidy finished his primary. He could not figure out for himself of what his next step would be. And this was due to the hardship he had single handed[b][/b]ly gone through over time. But when he was still in the primary school, one of the traits he constantly display was a journalistic attitude. Because, whenever he had to carry out any assignment in the school, he was constantly writing on the very sport like most journalist do. Although, reflecting back on memory lane, this was undeniably known only by a handful of his friends at the time. Eventually, it was his Dad that brought the idea that he must move away from the country side due to the prevalent redundancy and difficulty to getting anything done without viable sustainability. When he later came out from the country side, he knew he was open to numerous possibilities that would enable him to help himself out, without waiting for any idea from any one. His first move in that direction was to enroll into a part time schooling to study construction, a field he was not particular interested in doing. But for the sake of occupation and to just make use of the necessary and available time he has to fall in line The reality of such idea was that, he was not going to waste time at all, even though, he was not particularly interested, but he soon discovers that he was good in drawing among the many subjects in the field. But after just a few months into the program, he pulls out without reason. Although, he later discovered it was all due to a low level of interest he hard towards what he was doing at the time. When he pulled out from the school, Cassidy was interested in taken up a full time job. To his estimation, he could save enough to school himself on a full time bases instead of part time he had chosen to attend. While he was now working full time he never give up in his study as a way of preparation for his next move. Needless to add that, Cassidy was a disciplinarian in his term, hence, he was preparing gradually for a time he would go back to full time study. Just after about three years on his job, Cassidy was anxious to quit his job, as he was trying his hand in some of the external examination. After one or two of such examination, he was called upon to start off. According to reliable information, without hesitation he left the job and went straight to a full time study. He did so, without informing any one of his decision, and when he was asked of how he would found the fees, he would simply say nothing. But the reality was that he was just waiting for the gratuity he would be paid to start off the initial payment. As soon as he was paid, left his work and enter the school with the help of his friend who carry the preliminary connections. Because without such connection, it would have been difficult, if not impossible. Before, he knows, he had finished up and as the providence would have it, he got a scholarship that helps him to travel out. Cassidy eventually end up of not wanting to come back as he got himself a wife and settled with children. |
The problem of character and attitude is of wide range that needs not only to be addressed at workplace but also in our homes and schools. In a wider perspective, it is our attitude and mindset toward life in general that determine our altitude, height or progress. With this in mind, I also think, everyone and in particular parents, teachers and the clergies have the greater responsibility to educate and direct the affair of this nature for the collective well being. BEHAVIOR;- What is behavior?- We have good and bad behavior. This is a range of actions and manners together with environment that has a positive or negative influence on any individual. This is acquired through conditioning that occurs through interaction with the environment and individuals. Example of such behavior like being-Loyal, Thinking of others , Stealing of other people properties, and Always feel that people are right or wrong. ATTITUDE; - What is Attitude? - We have good and bad attitude. We are told, it is an expression of favor or disfavor toward person or things and event. It is also an opinion or method we chose to do things, whether anyone is watching us or not. In an Attitude of love and Forgiveness. Example of such method or disfavor, varies in our daily work just like, we chose to respond to emergency call on the phone, when we chose to believe in what someone else is telling us. The same is true, when we chose to respect or disrespect a particular person or friend for an unknown reason. CHARACTER;- What is character?-We have good and bad character. It is a mental and moral quality, distinctive to an individual. It is a trait that is inherent in a person, an inborn that varies from every individual. Example of such could be character being Lazy, Loyal character, Unfriendly and selfish character, Generous or careless character. HABIT;-What is habit? We have good and bad habit, it is a routine behavior repeated regularly and it occurs unconsciously. It requires little or no thought and we often tend to learn it and we are not born with it. Example of habit is when we smoke excessively, Drive without seatbelt, Hot temper, Stealing, and habit of shearing. We must observed that-Education, Experience and Environment, are all factors that go a long way to affect our behavior. But we have a responsibility and a choice to make, to do the right thing. Choosing the right Attitude, Character and Behavior in acting or controlling ourselves toward others in our conduct to do the right thing. [b][/b] Read more on;-https://philoedu2017..com.ng/ |
The Organizational behavior- in dealing with being different from those around you, in your career and in your work place, is a situation one is never exempted. In this perspective, you may be the only male where the other colleagues are female or .you may be in a situation where you are older than your colleagues. But how do you deal or cope with such challenges of being different? You must invest in building effective relationship, by knowing that early relationship often attract those who are demographically-i.e. (Scientific study of number of changes-in birth, death, and diseases etc.) Similar to them. It simply means your colleagues may never find out how smart, hardworking or fun, you are, if there is a limited interaction with them. Therefore, develop an attitude that creates opportunities for an interaction, no matter how brief. And seek to know some area of commonality that exists among you. You must choose your mentor, i.e. an individual that may give you an insight of an existing culture, as to help you feel you belong. This may show how powerful and knowledgeable your mentor may matter to you. In this context, you may be more attracted to someone at the same level and similar to you. The same is true, that you may have to learn from someone more experience, knowledgeable and powerful than you are-or of dissimilarities. It must be emphasized, that experience tends to influence thought to become an attitude. And attitude becomes the blue-print of a new experience that often develop into a pattern of behavior. You must know your right, as you acknowledge that harassment based on protected characteristic, such as gender, age, race and disabilities, and that any discrimination based on these traits are illegal and unacceptable. Therefore, any time you are faced with this type of harassment or discrimination, you must know that anyone responsible for such attitude is but an act of persecution and liable for sanctions. Therefore, you must get to know also that through the awareness of our personal life style, which is critical, is what comes to transform any negative attitude and behavior into a positive one, and which becomes the key to empower and establish our personal responsibility through our changing behavior. The same is true, that as any organizations manages diversity effectively, they can as well benefit from it, because they achieve higher creativity, better customer service, higher job satisfaction, and lower litigation expenses. The same is true that- organizational behavior -can manage demographic diversity more effectively by building a culture of respect, humility and obedience to the constituted authority and making everyone accountable for diversity and creating diversity awareness where and when necessary and not without affirmative action.

Really, but Nigerian must be interested in history -it is all pathetic. |
Ethic is broadly defined as an act that deals with question concerning the nature of value in matter of human conducts. Therefore, work ethic is vital in any organization to achieving any set objective or goals. The same is true that every individual in any organisation must strive to have a good work ethic to keep the organization functioning at its peak. Work ethics is a set of moral character that deals with what is right or wrong and good or bad in matter of human conduct of individual uses in his work. Therefore, certain factors must come together to create a strong work ethic, of which the most prominent among this are ;-( DISSE). 1. Discipline; - In any organization, it takes some level of commitment to finish any given task. Any individual with good discipline must stay focused with determination to complete any given task. Must always demonstrate some level dedication and commitment in ensuring high level of performance. 2. Integrity; - Integrity as a concept stretches to virtually every aspect of any individual’s task. Therefore, any individual with integrity strive to a foster genuine relationship with everyone around. There must be some level of trust among individuals in any organisation for honest feedback. It also implies putting up some level of high moral standard and trust without questionable character. 3. Sense of Responsibility;-A strong sense of responsibility affects a certain level the result of any given task. When an individual feels responsible for any job performance, such individual, no doubt, must keep to time with the best effort on performance in any given task without distraction. 4. Sense of Teamwork;- Most individual must have to work together to meet up with set objective Any individual with high sense of teamwork not only facilitate the set objective but also help to deliver high quality of any given task. Teamwork is not just a collection of bunch of in individual with different agenda but with a complimentary skill committed to common purpose and mutually accountable for attaining a result in any given task. 5. Emphasis on Quality; - Any individual with strong work ethic must care about the quality of any given task. Often, there are some individual who only do the bare minimum, enough to keep the job intact. Contrary to this notion, individual must always do their best to produce great work, not merely doing what is just needed for its own sake. But by putting in some level of commitment to quality improvement on the part of individuals. And this must be demonstrated in order to improve the overall organizational[b][/b] quality.

It is clear there are varieties of definition for attitude, which seems to center around the notion that evolves measuring of people, issues and objects etc. This measurement often center on two components which are cognitive and effective - (values and beliefs). Our values and beliefs is a combination of cognitive component. And these components which are cognitive and affective[b][/b] did give us a long range, or persistent measurement for dealing with the environment we find ourselves. (Bootzin, 1983). By values, we mean the ideas about the worth of importance of concept, things and people that emanate from personal beliefs system.(U.S. Army,1983). As it were, value is one of the components of attitude, because it assists to determine how individual will act as to weigh the importance of various alternatives. And indeed, individual of whatever class have different level of attitude that can be accessed through involvement in the performance of any assigned responsibility at any given time. Therefore, an attitude tends to pave the way for behavioral action which ultimately can influence productivity to enhance a viable development. It is also true that attitude and productivity tends to be studied to have being found to have various factors responsible for some level of relationship. It is argued that attitude tends to be favorable when some level of affection, recognition, friendliness and freedom are allowed to enhance productivity. But where this is ignored, there emanate a low moral with low productivity that may becomes the common theme, although, may not be outwardly put on display but may remain a hindrance. The same is true that any unfavorable attitude can also result to a poor relationship with lack of recognition, inequality, development and insecurity. It must be emphasized that any individual with lack of satisfaction in an environment, ethical value and standard may inhibit some level of attitude detrimental to productivity and development. It is also true that when productivity and development are adversely affected, any form of advancement with aim and objective come to suffer. It is pertinent to note that favorable or unfavorable ethical values, as the case maybe, must have lay down procedures and standard, to establish the guide and conduct, attitude and behavior in any system. Therefore, the successes of any system or society come to depend to a large extent, in the attitudinal factor towards increasing productivity and development. Of cause, self -discipline is called into question, because it assists in developing certain principle in guiding the individual feelings, conduct and behavior, and indeed, thought habit along the process. The result that emanate from such process is often self control, self reliance and self determination that ultimately stimulate individuals in the sustenance in the necessary drive in taking a positive decision towards achieving the set objective at any given time. Because any lack of self discipline and self confidence, often have the consequence of negative disposition and distressing thought with lack of enthusiasm with adverse effect of low self esteem, productivity and advancement. Therefore, we need to admit, that self discipline cannot be transferred and instilled overnight. But it must be a process of a learning culture explicated and epitomized by those who may care in the very promotion of a strong and viable relationship and commitment in the advancement and development of a society they also belong. We gain the knowledge of these things through the context (experiences) and understanding; and it is through the context we are able to weave together the various relationships of our experiences. And the greater the understanding of the subject matter, the more we are able to weave our past experiences(context) into a new knowledge in absorbing , doing, reflecting and interacting with others.

As human being, we seek accountability. Often, people want to know who is responsible for certain actions and who is accountable for the consequences of certain actions. According to Harry Truman, -responsibility in the end must be taken by someone, an identifiable individual who must be held to account for it But .increasingly today, people are more likely to ask – where exactly does the buck stop or it does it not stop.
