“What is beauty? Why is this world obsessed with beauty? It is a pathetic way of measuring your worth in the eyes of another. How can one person or the majority decide who is beautiful and who is not? Why are people all over the world being driven to adopt standards of beauty? Why do we have beauty pageants? The world is making people want to look beautiful but not be beautiful. The world is making the new generation self- conscious about external looks. The majority of people are becoming superficial. There is no depth in people. True beauty is not in how we look. It is in how we love, care, and share.”
“In my old age today, I feel no change; I still do feel young, there’s nothing that’s strange. Truly, this I must say in all candor: “No one gets old, just don’t face the mirror.” Hence, don’t ask around if you look your age, you’ll just hear words meant not to earn your rage. Instead, walk to that mirror on the wall; it’s not known to lie—it will tell you all.”
“Forming bad habits, you ought not condone, lest it would form part of your comfort zone. How important to life is comfort zone? It tells if you will be footstool or throne.”
“The only time we realise we getting old is in the morning when you look at yourself in the mirror”
“When poor, man is imbued with thriftiness; when filled, man is imbued with lavishness. When sick, man is filled with cries for God’s help; when healed, man is filled with worship of self. Oh, man is one “Soul of Contradiction”; he changes with every situation. A blend of holiness and corruption, “his perfection’s in his imperfection.”
“You hate the world? It won’t adjust to you: “You need the world—the world does not need you.” To begin with, the world’s actually you: “Hate it, it hates you—love it, it loves you.”
“Am I happy because I want to be? Or I’m happy because I am really. Must one adjust his mind to be happy? Or it’s either there or there not really. Happiness is not positivity, like “think positive and you’ll be happy.” It’s but the true state of reality— “You’re happy simply because you’re happy.”
“Why kill not?—Due to law or our values? Why rob not?—Due to law or our values? Why rape not?—Due to law or our values? Why dope not?—Due to law or our values? If the call of evil we do refuse, we’re either scared of law or have values. Or, truly, there’s only one that we use: “We’re scared of law borne of our good values.”
“You can’t stop WARS without stopping hatred; you can’t stop HATRED till all evil’s dead; you can’t stop all EVIL till man can’t help choosing to worship no God but HIMSELF.”
“If you’re not mindful of what goes into your mouth, then be mindful of what comes out of it. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu”
“GREED knows no humanitarianism, no kith and kin, no patriotism. It’s purely founded on “worship of self”; “what pleases self” is but its sole precept. This makes greed the “evilest of evil,” the worst product of a corrupted will. In all facets of life, they’re everywhere; from the looks of it, its end seems nowhere.”
“Man’s SOUL is linked to the whole universe: “He reacts to any movement adverse.” To man’s wicked ways the WORLD too reacts: “BOTH are conjoint in their balancing acts.”
“Every soul is dying for approval, regardless how low be the pedestal— hating criticism, though how shallow; adoring compliment, though how hollow.”
“See how animals roam around for food; having found, they rest till next hungry mood. See how people work hard for food and all, having found, they rest till next hungry call. Truly, we do work, so when filled we rest and work more to gain comfort at its best. It seems man was made for “REST and COMFORT”; give him all and he’s freed from all effort.”
“Two actions that bring man education: “Physical Action” and “Mental Action.” The first teaches the “Principles of Life”; the second captures the “Wisdom of Life.”
“Always face the world playing on your strengths: “With it you can go at whatever length.” Yet, treat not your weaknesses like rabies: “They’re diamonds waiting for good polish.” For instance, your weakness is you are lazy: “Then work smart to make a hard life easy.” Or your weakness is you are impatient: “Then apply it in getting proficient.”
“Each created thing is a masterpiece; each was built with most unique properties. Then there stands MAN, the best of all beauties; then they say he just grew out of monkeys.”
