FROM THE PAGES OF LIFE

From the Pages of Life



This life we live is sometimes strange

No matter what we do we live in range

Life we do not live knowing all in total

Because man’s life has different quotas

Each day like a page of a book we flip

We live, hope and pray as we take the trip



The morning emerges elegantly with virgin grace

The afternoon takes over with blazing rays

Some say nightfall comes like a dreaded disease

Others lookup to nightfall with much ease

In the game of life fairness is not an option

Similarly success is more than just a caption



Life we may choose to live by or without its rules

Yet we end-up going through without much clues

Life has it core and indefatigable anchors

Each of it has its trickery like magic actors

The supernatural creates its guiding regulations

But to us we’re left to make our choices and decisions



Faith for fate

Love for hate

Hope not cope

Heights not slope

Smiles after tears

Guts after fears



The pages of life has its several stages

As we live its plot through the ages

We fall but each time against odds, up we rise

We've been used, abused and confused but we arise

From the events of life’s pages as we flip through we are stirred

Until we retire in its real sense, read on and keep on inspired!

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?

-
  The power of imagination and the power of believe are like Siamese twin, once you have the ability to imagine the result you desire, your belief in what you imagined will bring home the result. The question you need to answer at every point what do I believe in. Like Henry said, "if you think yo can, you can, if you think you can't, you are also right". You are only as able as what you believe. You don't go into a battle expecting to lose because if that is what your believe is, you don't need to bother, it is a done deal, the battle is in deed lost! Once you have sorted out what you believe (which is half way the journey, however an important half), the next then is you then channel your effort to what you believe in. What do you believe in? you believe in that prospect, in that person, in that project in that possibility... What do you believe in? They say ''believe you can then can what you believe and sit on the can''. but before you can do a

A CHAPTER FROM MY LIFE STORY

-
Named Seth because I was a gift after the loss of a child. The 5th Child of 6 siblings raised by a Military man with discipline of the highest 'quality'.  Mum was a house wife into small.scale trading. Dad a devoted christian, deacon & who gave little or no liberty. My first real liberty was choosing to go to University of Ilorin instead of University of Ibadan so as to be away from home and refusing to start over at OAU to read law (which we both wanted before) but I was already in 2nd year in University of Ilorin. He wasn't going to pay my school fees any more because I disappointed him with that decisional not to go start over  and get the chance to be a Lawyer. Economically were weren't the poorest but not rich either. We got basic needs but sometimes we had to wait and pray for the source of the next meal. My parents had to borrow to send us through school because my father promised to send everyone through higher institutions at any cost even if he had to be
