CALM DOWN,BAD SITUATIONS DO CHANGE! PATIENTLY WAIT FOR IT.

30 days and counting we ceased to have electricity in our city, this is Africa, this situation isn't strange. Then, I had read in the news where the Electrical Engineers stated that it may last this long. I had to stay in this state of black-out for that long. Few days ago, thankfully it was on a weekend, our precious electricity was restored, the room, the kitchen, everywhere lited up. All my mind kept telling me was, I survived, wow, I survived. Yea, truly I'd survived. During those period of darkness, I had to take my few essential electrically rechargeables to charge at work, then, I would plug my power bank at my landlord's house in the night time till 11pm, after using it to recharge my phone, the phone which I had succeeded in 'browsing' away its battery. The life without electricity was a little bit tiring at the beginning, but overtime, I got accustomed to it, it became a routine. I smoothly glided through like a new way of life. Then I was lying peacefully on my bed that fateful day and my house suddenly lited up, after about 40days. I was glad, very glad. I felt nice that I had been able to peacefully and patiently go through that period. What really made me happy to have the "light" restored was that the electricity supply around my area is relatively above normal in relation to the electricity supply in this part of Africa. As we could have uninterrupted power supply for more than 2 weeks. It rained heavily with so much of thunder and lightening a day ago,after the light has been restored, the rain started around past 4am till about 9am, the Electricity remain unwavering through the period. It made me feel more glad to have it back. The gist in this story is, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, wait for it. Keep your hope alive, you may be going through a dark time and you feel hopeless, change that feeling and look forward towards better days, there will be better days, inculcate the ability to remain calm when you find yourself in a situation you cannot change easily. Not just to sit calmly, but to make the best out of it, we have to salvage something from what seems like a lost case. We have to learn to find alternatives, shift to plan B, where plan A doesn't seem to work out. We should not adopt the habit of sulking, or generating self pity and feeling sorry for ourselves, or getting angry at every one else. People who makes the world go round are those who do not see themselves as victims of circumstances, but see bad situation as a challenge to overcome, and to become a conqueror, not just a stumbling block but a stepping stone to a better life. We can not be promoted if we do not pass through trials, so see every trouble situation as an opportunity to be promoted further. No matter how bad a situation is, it will change, just do all you know to do and wait for it, like I am waiting for some of mine, no matter how insignificant or important they are, bad situation will surely change. All things are possible to those who believe. I am a believer, there are a lot of us, be one too.

DO NOT BE GUITY OF FAILED PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY!

It is not a waste of money to take your children through standard schools, especially primary and secondary school. Their ways of reasoning and speaking, are mainly affected by their interaction and training in these periods of their lives. It is not a bad idea for your child to attend boarding schools also, especially those schools that have high level of discipline and care. Boarding school makes them to have stronger personalities, to be independent-decision-makers. And give them focus, and a sense of purpose. It has it disadvantages also, which might be that the child may join bad companies. However the chance of a well trained Godly child to escape from bad company, is high. I didn't consider it. Being bullied may be another disadvantage, but this one could act to make the child stronger and to device means to overcome the act of being bullied.
