Romance / Re: What Will You Do If A Lady Is In Love With You And You Don't Love Her In Return? by Sirma1: 5:50pm On Aug 02, 2017
Use these two idea; 1. Act like you are now a pastor and preach to her seriously, tell her about Jesus, about her obsessed infatuation and tell her it's a lust and not love. Just be serious about it am sure she will run from you.
2. Suggest you have friend that love her seriously that can take care of her. Tell her you want to arrange her for him. Am sure she will hate you for saying such. Then you go your separate way.

Religion / We Need A Revival!!! by Sirma1: 2:07pm On Oct 09, 2016
WE NEED A REVIVAL!!!! � At a time when the church has become a ground for entertainment, we need revival. At a time when a music minister competes and compares himself with secular musician, we need a revival. At a time when the altar of God is used for comedy, we need a revival. At a time when a successful minister of the Gospel is measured by how rich he is and not how much impact he is making, we need a revival. At a time, when passion for souls have been replaced with fashion parade in the church, we need a revival. At a time when motivational speaking has replaced biblical preaching, we need a revival. At a time when you really cannot differentiate between a daughter of Zion and an harlot, we need a revival. At a time when pastors kill each other for post and higher position, we need a revival. At a time when modern preachers now tell us that Jesus is not coming soon, we need a revival. At a time when packaging and special effect has replaced the beauty of God's glory, we need a revival. At a time when sexual sin is referred to as weakness and the grace of God is taken for granted, we need a revival. At a time when prophets prophesies by divination and profits from false prophecy, we need a revival. At a time when the church does not know the difference between witchcraft spirit and the Holy Spirit, we need a revival. At a time when filling the seats in our place of worship has become a priority than raising disciples of Jesus, we need revival. At a time when sinners feel comfortable in our churches and saints feel no sense of urgency to preach the good news to the lost, we need revival. At a time when pastors are more concerned about how much money members give than how much the members truly love the Lord, we need revival. At a time when the word of God is scarce and the fire on the altar is going out, and the priests have become blind, the watchmen sleeping, and holiness is no longer our standard, we need a revival. We need a revival not a programme. We need a reawakening of our souls and a new awareness of the power of God. We do not need another jamboree but true repentance coupled with a changed life. We do not need another noise, we need a shaking and a mighty rushing wind. We do not need another movement, we need a reformation. We need the Lord to come again and restore us unto himself. We need the Lord to open our eyes again that we may see Him. We want to see His Holiness again that we may see our depravity. We need a genuine outpouring of the Holy Spirit, WE ARE TIRED OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES AND NOT LIVING CHRIST-LIKE. There is no other desire that we have than to hear again the same voice that spoke in the valley of dry bones to BRING US BACK TO LIFE. Our nations are in darkness, yet we are the light. We cannot pretend anymore, Jesus come again in your power and reawaken us. WE NEED A REVIVAL!!!

Celebrities / Celeb Big Butt Obsession - A Woman Butt Implants Explode. by Sirma1: 12:39pm On Jul 15, 2015
A WOMAN WENT INTO COMA AFTER HER BUTT IMPLANTS EXPLODE WHILE DOING SQUATS
A Woman is in a coma after her butt
implants exploded while doing squats for an Instagram Video. Serena Beuford, 27, was working out with a friend. After Beuford’s friend finished
working out, she attempted to record Beuford doing squats to post the video on Instagram. As Beuford was squatting, she heard a loud pop; which prompted her to immediately stop. Soon after the popping sound, Beuford fell to the floor screaming in agony from the pain. Jewel, a patron of the gym said: I heard a loud popping noise followed by the woman falling to the floor. She was screaming my a** is gone!!!; I had no idea what she was talking about until I saw her cushion like butt missing when EMS took her out the gym. She used to always show off her butt in the gym and tried to get guys attention with her
work outs. She was rushed to the hospital where she
went into a coma possibly due to the trauma. Doctors say Serena Beuford is in serious condition. Beuford’s sister, Jackie Beaford said: My sister Serena had visited an unlicensed clinic to get the butt she
really wanted (64 inch bottom). She started to become famous on Instagram and even got a job at a
club. Guys would look at her differently and buy her expensive stuff just because of her butt. The clinic Serena Beuford used for the procedure is currently under investigation. There has been an increasing trend in woman getting butt injections and implants to amass unhealthy sizes. Psychological studies
suggest the trend is due to artists such as Lil
Kim, Nicki Minaj and Iggy Azalea being worshipped for having fake backsides. According to medical officials, Beuford will require extensive medical procedures to
repair the damage caused by the bad surgery. Physicians says, these surgeries are not healthy for the body and are not meant to last long.

FATHER ATE THE FRUITS AND CHILDREN'S TOOTH NOW ACNE
Saartjie "Sarah" Baartman 200yrs ago
Baartman was born in 1789. She was working
as a slave in Cape Town when she was "discovered" by British ship’s doctor William Dunlop, who persuaded her to travel with him to England.
But it’s clear what Dunlop had in mind – to display her as a "freak", a "scientific curiosity", and make money from these shows, some of which he promised to give to her. Baartman had unusually large buttocks and
genitals, and in the early 1800s Europeans were arrogantly obsessed with their own superiority, and with proving that others, particularly blacks, were inferior and oversexed. Baartman’s physical characteristics, not unusual for Khoisan women, although her features were larger than normal, were. "evidence" of this prejudice, and she was treated like a freak exhibit in London.
She was called the "Hottentot Venus", 'Hottentot' being a name given to people with cattle. The label "Hottentot" took on derogatory connotations, and is no longer used.
Venus is the Roman goddess of love, a cruel reference to Baartman being an object of admiration and adoration instead of the object of leering and abuse that she became. She spent four years in London, then moved to Paris, where she continued her degrading round of shows and exhibitions. In Paris she attracted the attention of French scientists, in
particular Georges Cuvier. Once the Parisians got tired of the Baartman show, she was forced to turn to prostitution. She didn’t last the ravages of a foreign culture and climate, or the further abuse of her body.
She died in 1815, at the age of 25. The cause of death was given as "inflammatory and eruptive sickness",
possibly syphilis. Others suggest she was an alcoholic. Whatever the cause, she lived and died thousands of kilometres from home and family, in a hostile city, with no means of getting herself home again. Cuvier made a plaster cast of her body, then
removed her skeleton and, after removing her brain and genitals, pickled them and displayed them in bottles at the Musee de l’Homme in Paris-#actofcruelty. Some 160 years later they were still on display, but were finally removed from public view in 1974.
Baartman was exhibited first in London, entertaining
people and by showing what were thought of as highly unusual bodily features. Cezar placed her on exhibition in the Egyptian Hall of Piccadilly Circus. She had large buttocks (steatopygia) and was rumored to have the elongated labia. To quote historian of science Stephen Jay Gould, "The labia minora, or inner lips, of the ordinary female Instruments are greatly enlarged in Khoi-San women, and may hang down three or four inches below the vulva when women stand, thus giving the impression of a separate and enveloping curtain of skin".
Baartman was sold to a Frenchman, who took her to his country. She was in France from around September 1814. An animal trainer, S. Réaux,
exhibited her under more pressured conditions for
fifteen months. French naturalists, among them
Georges Cuvier, head keeper of the menagerie at the
Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, visited her.
She was the subject of several scientific paintings at
the Jardin du Roi, where she was examined in.
In 1994, then president Nelson Mandela requested that her remains be brought home. Other representations were made, but it took the French government eight years to pass a bill – apparently worded so as to prevent other countries from claiming the return of their stolen treasures – to allow their small piece of "scientific curiosity" to be returned to South Africa. In January 2002, Sarah Baartman’s remains were returned and buried on 9 August 2002, on South Africa's Women's Day, at Hankey in the Eastern Cape Province. Her grave has since been declared a national heritage site.

BIG BUTTS OBSESSION IN WHITE WOMEN. WHO'S TO BE BLAME?
“With an influx of new ‘it’ girls from Kim Kardashian
to Nicki Minaj, the images are inescapable,” the
documentary’s description reads. “Women have
taken drastic — and often dangerous — measures
to achieve the impossible and often unreal.”
The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic
Surgery found that backside augmentation procedures jumped 58% in 2013.
Rapper Nicki Minaj is also known for her bottom.
Kim Kardashian is famous for displaying her assets.
According to TheGrio, the documentary examines
who is the blame for this growing trend and
features sound bites from plastic surgeons, women
who have gone under the knife and men who like
bottom-heavy women to present a well-rounded
overview on the obsession.

Health / How Onion Detoxify Our Body. by Sirma1: 8:09am On Jul 04, 2015
Information is circulating and spreading, that
onion is able to absorb toxins from the body if we
put it on our feet using a sock during the night.
Now then, is it true all of this? Chinese medicine
ensures that the feet are strongly connected to all
internal organs of our body through “meridians”.
On the other hand in antient times the onion was
used to absorb the virus circulating in the
environment.
When in a house someone had the flu, an onion was
cut in two pieces and placed in the patient’s room,
usually when they were suffering from flu and
cough, it was noticed a very good improvement.
Many of us know the benefits of onions only when
they are consumed either raw or in infusion. But
scientifically it has been proved that onion has the ability to absorb toxins that circulate in the environment and it is used by many people.
Home and natural remedies often differ with
science as they tend to work in some cases better
than the drugs themselves created by science in a
laboratory.
The best way to check the benefits of an onion on
our foot overnight is testing it. So I’ll explain how to implement this curious method to detoxify your
body, the image below takes
you up
.
Additional Instructions:
-Take a purple onion, then you have to wash it well
and proceed to cut it into slices.
-Before sleeping, place on your feet a slice of onion
in the soles of the feet exactly where the arc is
formed.
-Use an old sock for covering and ensuring that the
slice remains in contact with your foot overnight.
-You must place on both feet and use it for five
consecutive days.

Health / Suya And Reasons You Should Stop Eating It by Sirma1: 9:12pm On Jul 02, 2015
Suya as it is being made and sold in many places should not be eaten because of the risks and dangers associated. I will try as much as possible to explain this in very simple and clear terms. This is to enable even a layman read and understand the message of this post. I promise not to mention terms such terms as benz[a]anthracene, Fasciola hepatica and Taenia
saginata. In fact, forget I mentioned those three. All I
just want you to know are the risks and dangers associated with eating just any Suya.
What is Suya?
If you are reading this, you probably know what Suya
is. But by way of definition, Suya is a spicy skewered
meat which is a popular food item in various parts of
Nigeria and is enjoyed as a delicacy in many parts of
West Africa. It is traditionally prepared by the Hausa
people of northern Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger, and
some parts of Sudan.
Health and Safety Issues Associated With Suya
Consumption Forget the dirty environment and poor or zero hygiene conditions in which Suya is made and
handled in many places in Nigeria, there are other
dangers that are inherent in the consumption of Suya
– those that many would never know unless they are
Food professional or have come across an article like
this that explains it.
1. Suya and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) You know when they say Cigarette kills? It is majorly due to the PAHs they contain. Many Suya sellers make their Suya by burning all sort of woods and charcoal
to make their fire. Some even throw in such things as
plastics to make their ember burn brighter in order
to cook the Suya meat. Many of these materials
burning under the meat contain these Polycyclic
Aromatic Hydrocarbons — and do you know what
these PAHs do in the body after enough consumption
or exposure?
1. Some PAHs are chemical carcinogens (cancer-
causing compounds) while seven PAH compounds
have also been classified as probable human
carcinogens.
2. Some PAH compounds are mutagens. Mutagen is
a physical or chemical agent that changes the
genetic material (DNA).
3. According to a finding, reported in an article on
health.usnews.com, high prenatal exposure to PAH
is associated with lower IQ and childhood, asthma.
Sources of PAHs majorly smokes
2. Potential of contacting zoonotic diseases
A zoonotic disease is a disease that can be passed
between animals and humans. Since Suya meats are
generally undercooked and in rare occasions
carrying some blood on them, there is a chance that
one could contact zoonotic diseases from Suya.
Take for example, during the Ebola Virus Disease
outbreak, we were warned to stay away from Monkey
and Bat meats. There was also a stern warning to
always cook our meats very well before we eat them.
Cooking meat very well cannot really be said of Suya.
Other type of diseases that can be passed from
animals to humans
include, LEPTOSPIROSIS, BRUCELLOSIS, BUBONIC
PLAGUE, SALMONELLOSIS, etc.
Some zoonotic diseases can be passed from the host
animal to human directly while others can be passed
from consuming their products such as meat and
milk.
3. Beef Tapeworm ( Taenia saginata) This is commonly
known as the beef tapeworm – a zoonotic tapeworm. Like it was mentioned above, humans majorly get
infected by consuming undercooked beef. The infection is may come without any noticeable symptoms but heavy infection can also occur with attendant symptoms. Heavy infection often results in weight loss, dizziness, abdominal pain, diarrhea, headaches, nausea, constipation, chronic indigestion, and loss of appetite. Heavy infections may cause intestinal obstruction in humans — this can be alleviated by surgery.
Suya can be very delicious and make a good delicacy
if well cooked and appropriate types of woods are
used for smoking. For example, it is advised to cook/heat the Suya meat to a safe internal temperature around 80 degrees Celcius or more. Avoid adding plastics or fuels such as kerosene to the fire to make it burn better.
Finally, let me say that eating moderate amounts of smoked meat (Suya) without charring to a safe, yet medium temperature should not not pose a problem.
Stay healthy!!

Romance / 7 Reasons Why You Should Get Married Early by Sirma1: 11:07pm On Jun 24, 2015
In fact, there
are certain plausible advantages of getting married at
a younger age. The belief that early marriage comes
as a burden and an incomprehensible commitment,
is not really a standard that applies to all.
So, here are some reasons that explain why marrying
early can be a good decision.
#1. The perfect age saga
Marriage is more about the ‘perfect person’ than the perfect age’. Many argue on the necessity of being
prepared for
marriage. But in reality, you can never be prepared
for it whether you are in your 20s, 30s or 40s.
So, if you find your prince charming or dream girl at
an early age,
then there is no point actually waiting for long to get
married. It is all
about spending the beautiful moments of your life
with the person
you love. So, think about finding the right person
rather than waiting
for the right time to arrive.
#2. You get more quality time with each other
The young couples usually do not have the pressure
of achieving
parenthood immediately after their marriage. In fact,
they get enough
time to know and understand each other before the biological clock
starts ticking. So, when you get married early, you
have a lot of time
on your hands before you indulge into family
planning or saving
money for future.
You can enjoy your life with your partner without
worrying much
about these things. You can see the world together
and steer your life the way you want it.
#3. More harmonious relationship
You are more likely to be a companion and a friend
to your partner rather than just being a husband or a
wife. While you would be learning to live life as adults, you would be
more flexible with each other and more open to compromise.
Also, you will have enough time to adjust with each
other’s temperament, and understand one another
before you delve
into more serious and deeper responsibilities of life.
This way, you are likely to be more compatible than
the couples who
get married late.
#4. More lovemaking time
You will get to experience those beautiful moments
of cosy lovemaking with your partner more
frequently as compared to those who get married late. It surely will help you to feel strongly connected with your partner
emotionally as well as
physically.
And since you do not have the pressure of having
kids right after your marriage, there is ample time to
thoroughly enjoy
this time with each other. Also, many researches
show that after having kids, the couples usually
experience a dip in
their lovemaking activities due to reasons like low
energy, lack of time etc.
#5. Sharing each milestone
The milestone of achieving parenthood is of course
one thing, which every couple experiences together.
But when you marry early, there is a lot more that you achieve as
well as celebrate together.
Whether it is buying your first car, moving in to your
own home, achieving success in career- the happiness increases
manifold when you have a partner by your side to share these amazing experiences of life.
#6. Being a great parent
As you would have spent so much time together, you are expected to share a really strong bond with each
other. This
level of understanding between the two of you is one
of the key requirements of being a great parent.
When you attain parenthood in your twenties, you are all the more excited as well as energetic to spend
time with your
child. On the other hand as you grow old, you might
be burdened with issues like financial well-being of
your family or
your own health. This will take away the time from
you to be with your child. Furthermore, seeing your
child become
independent before you retire is an achievement in
itself.
While you become a proud parent at the right time,
do not let it take away the charm from your married
life. Here are 5
Ways to Spice Up Your Marriage after Kids
#7. A second chance
Although this is not at all desirable, but if at all things
go terribly wrong in marriage, the younger couples
get a slightly
better chance to bring everything back on track. Since
they would have already shared many ups and downs
together,
they would know how to handle each other during
tough times.
Surely, an early marriage is no recipe for success.
But, it is necessary to understand the nuances of a
marriage to make
it an accomplishment. Getting married by mid-
twenties is a great option and with the above
reasons, we hope you know why.

Romance / Type Of Women Who Will Always Cheat. by Sirma1: 7:44am On Jun 22, 2015

oldies.
2. The "crusher": as humans, we all have crushes but
when a woman crushes every guy....she could easily
be laid.
3. The natural cheat: these days some women see
cheating as "normal".
4. Revenge mission: the women who cheat as a
"reprisal" on their cheating hubby.
5. Social network: frequent bbm/whatsapp contact
with that young dude down the lade might leading to
"experimenting" especially during trying times in
marriages.
6. Housewives: idle minds can be the devil's most
favourable tools.
7. Office romance: frequent official trips with a
charming subordinate could lead to being screwed
someway, somehow.
8. Ungodly women: women who lack respect for
marriage would always sleep around.
9. High libido: especially when there's a mismatch
with that of her hubby.
10. Culture: rumours have it that some cultures
permit cheating (not verified though)

Religion / God’s Provisions In Any Desert June 21, 2015 by Sirma1: 12:52pm On Jun 21, 2015
They spoke against God; they said, “Can God really spread a table in the wilderness?” — Psalm 78:19
I recently heard about a conversation that a rabbi who heads up a lifesaving organization had with a board member. After looking over the rabbi’s ambitious goals, the board member said, “Maybe we need to rein in those goals. You can’t save the entire world!”

The rabbi replied, “The reason why you think that we can’t save everyone is because you think that you can save 300 lives. If you realized that you can’t even lift your finger without God’s help, let alone save even one life, then you would understand that if God can help us save 300 people, He can help us save a million.”

When we realize that we can’t do a single thing without God, that’s when we finally understand anything is possible with God.

In Psalm 78, the psalmist addresses the doubts mankind has about God’s capabilities. He goes through a survey of history, from the time the children of Israel left Egypt until David assumed the throne, recounting how every time the people doubted God, He came through. Although God repeatedly proved His faithfulness and power, the people forgot His miracles and betrayed God.

The key to staying strong in faith and obedience is remembering God’s faithfulness and miracles in the past and believing wholeheartedly that they can occur in the present.

In verse 19 we read, “They spoke against God; they said, ‘Can God really spread a table in the wilderness?’” The Jewish sages teach that this was spoken by the nations of the world when the Israelites were in the desert. Could God possibly provide for His people in the desert?

According to the sages, God’s response is expressed beautifully in Psalm 23. Verse 5, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies,” refers to the miraculous manna that fell from the heavens each day. God piled it up like snow on mountaintops so that all nations could see His miraculous provisions for the Israelites. “You anoint my head with oil” refers to the fatty meat that God rained down on the Israelites in the desert. It was such a drastic amount of meat that the nations couldn’t possibly miss the miracle. And “my cup overflows” refers to Miriam’s well, which overflowed with water to satisfy the thirst of a nation in the desert. Without it, the Israelites would have perished. Indeed, their very survival in the desert proved God’s greatness to the world.

The message is clear. God can provide for us in any desert – whether it be a dry financial season or a health scare that seems daunting. God can provide – He can provide sustenance, healing, love, and for all our needs. No matter what the doubters may say, God has the final say.
Phones / Theankfulness; The Key To Having. The Life You Really Want. By Joyce Meyer. by Sirma1: 11:00am On Jun 21, 2015
Thankfulness: The Key to Having the Life You Really Want by Joyce Meyer
I recently spent some time thinking about what bad
attitude bothers God the most. I believe it’s an
ungrateful attitude.
If you’re a parent, you can probably relate to that.
You work hard to do all you can for your kids and
you’d jump at the chance to do it all over again if
they’d just say, “Thanks, Mom” or “Thanks, Dad. I
sure do appreciate the things you do for me.” But not all children display that kind of maturity. Many times they’ll come home murmuring and complaining, “I want this” and “I want that” and “Why won’t you do this one thing for me?” That’s
pretty aggravating, isn’t it? As God’s children, many
Christians probably sound the same way to Him!
That’s why I believe we need to take a fresh look at
ourselves and the importance of having a thankful
attitude toward God.
What the Israelites Couldn’t Figure Out
After Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, they
grumbled, murmured and complained. They didn’t
like his leadership, and they were tired of eating
manna. They actually wanted to go back to Egypt
where they were beaten and forced to work long
hours in the sun.
The Israelites thought their enemies were the reason
they couldn’t get to the Promised Land, but it was
their attitude that kept them wandering around in the
wilderness. (See Numbers 11.) All they needed to
do was be positive.
Now, think about the things in your life that you were
so excited about when God first blessed you—the
baby you were praying for, the spouse you longed
for, that promotion you tried so hard to get. They
may be the very thing you complain about today!
The nature of human flesh, if it is not disciplined and
controlled by the Holy Spirit, will always drift toward
the negative. You never have to try to complain, but it
does take a lot of faith and effort to maintain a
grateful, thankful attitude.
Appreciating Your Time in the Wilderness
You may think it’s a little bit strange to say this, but I
think we need to learn to appreciate our trials a lot
more than we do because they’re what make us grow
and mature in godly character.
You see, in hard times, we tend to experience more
of His nearness and power in our lives. It’s in those
times that we really come to know Him.
Complaining actually opens a door for the devil. We
need to learn to thank God in everything.
Don’t go to lunch with someone and spend the whole
time talking about your problems. Remember, recall
and recount the good things God is doing in your life.
Talk about your Red Sea moments. Remember the
manna He gave you last week. Remember the
resurrections you’ve had in your life. The Bible says
to fix your mind on those things that are worthy of
praise ( see Philippians 4:8 ). Remember those
things. Talk about those things.
I’m not telling you it’s going to be easy to do. It’s
much easier to make excuses and feel sorry for
yourself because things will happen to you that don’t
seem fair. The key is to keep saying, “I trust You, God,
and I believe You will work it all out for my good.”
The Benefit of Believing God
It’s a wonderful thing that God has done for us to be
able to look at a negative thing in a positive way and
actually say, “You cannot defeat me because God is
on my side.”
I want to have a good attitude because that’s what
will glorify God. He has promised that if we will do
three simple things—continue to pray, to love Him,
and to want His will—that all things will work
together for our good (see Romans 8:28) . That’s a
100 percent, ironclad guarantee that no matter how
messy life gets, God will make good out of it. If you
want victory in your life, all you have to do is adopt a
lifestyle of thanksgiving.
If you can manage to be thankful in every situation,
really believing that God is working everything out for
your good, you will end up with the victory every
single time.

Literature / Atitude by Sirma1: 3:15pm On Aug 18, 2013
What is really the essence of the word attitude? Attitude is the very gist of an individual's way of thinking; it is an individual's ideals, his concepts of right and wrong, and all his/her aspirations. In a nutshell, attitude can be defined as the totality of the individual himself. Man is, I'd say, what his attitude is. His thinking, his views, his likes, and dislikes are all enveloped in the single word i.e. 'attitude'. The next point for us to understand that we discover how these attitudes grow in an individual, are they inborn or are they a later growth in man's life. To this question, the answer is that, yes, some aspects of an individual's attitude are inborn, inherited and taken in due to his/her circumstances. This is because what an individual grows with, has go to have an influence on his life's pattern and his personal thinking, which account for his attitude. However, as he grows, and comes out of his shell out of his very personal circumstances, and develops his own attitudes to several things. Though at this stage of his being a grown up person, some changes may occur according to the needs of the times, but his basic thinking and attitude remains the same as he got during the grooming stage of his life. Thus, though some minor changes do occur in adulthood, the basics that he grew with never change in depth. We often say that, attitude makes a man - yes, once an attitude has developed, it is there to stay, and it plays a very important role in molding the man. Once the attitude of an individual is happy and wholesome, he continues to grow with this attitude and live with it. Living with this happy attitude makes him a better man, and then he keeps on improving as an individual - all this because of his healthy and happy attitude. The attitude persists and becomes more and more pleasant a man with the passage of time. If his attitude is healthy, it will radiate towards him only and
make him better and better. Thus the environment changes the attitude of a man and the man then is made by his attitude. In the same way, if the attitude of an individual is one of continued resentment towards all that is his and is around him, this attitude will also radiate towards him only, and continue to make him a worse and worse individual. This effect of attitude on the individual is a continuous process and keeps molding the individual for the better or the worse. It serves just as a vicious circle, the good become better with a good attitude, and the bad and the unhappy become worse and more unhappy with their respective attitudes to life and all there is in it. Thus, when we realize that attitude of a person has such a deep impact on his personality we must try to have a straight, honest, and healthy attitude towards everything and everybody around us. If we do so, we will be able to appreciate our surroundings and get appreciation in return. It is our attitude to life and all there is in it that makes us happy or unhappy, pleasant or unpleasant, even wanted or unwanted in the society. It is for us to try to develop a healthy attitude and be easy and comfortable with life and all that it has to offer. I am sure, if we learn to take life as it comes, with a smile there will be no cause to be unhappy at any stage of life.
