The Blog for the Ladies and the Gentlemen

We all know a good book when we see one. We read the likes of Nora Roberts, Jackie Collins, John Grisham, and Olivia Goldsmith because these people are best selling authors. They have the right eye catching strategies to steal the crowd. They know how to put every message in a nice way and their vocabularies are perfect. They know how to make their fans wanting more at the flip of every page and the reason for this is because, before they start a book. They think, plan, and organize. No one writes a best seller without a plan, magic doesn’t happen in this world we live in. So today January 1st 2015, we are authors. And whether we like it or not, if we want this year to be a good one, we have got to have a plan. We need improvement, we cannot be the same person we were Dec 31st 2014, and we need to hunger to be better than whom we were; a better kind of good, a better kind of enthusiastic, a better kind of successful; a better kind of us. Life is for the hardcore Homo sapiens who...

Good evening readers and welcome to classicandreal. Now there’s something all of reading this are; we are alive. Now there’s something all of us have got no matter how dead we think we are, scientifically, we all have life in us. we have our heart vessels pumping blood, our nervous system is sending electrical signals constantly, our alveoli is filtering oxygen. Bottom line, we are alive. We have life in us whether we like it or we don’t. so we can admit that everyday, there’s a lesson or two to be learnt. I learn everyday as I walk on the street, eat, sleep, wake, live; I learn. I’ve met people with the good, the bad or the ugliest of hearts. I’ve been through tragedy and cried my heart out and through joy and laughed my lungs out. I’ve seen, experienced maybe not as much as you have but nevertheless, I have. And most of all, I’ve learnt. I am going to give you seventeen lessons life has taught me and I want you to also learn from me. No...

I want you all to say this, it was our pledge in secondary school and it has helped me through life a whole lot; ‘I am a unique and irreplaceable individual, my vocation in life is also personal, therefore; I must not follow the group always’ We are unique, we are irreplaceable but most of all, we are individuals. There’s just one of us, just one and no one has control over your life except God and yourself. Have you ever notice that nothing changes in your life until you make up your mind that you want it to? Take for instance, a junkie. Till he decides to make up his mind to change and take measures to changing he won’t, no matter how much he tells people hey! I’m a changed man or pray, He has to decide. We are all as different as our fingerprints and no two people have exactly the same view of life, we all view life from a different perspective. So fuck what you hear on the street; people judging your opinion, your relationship, your achievements and ...

Look at yourself this morning; you’re a human right? The fact that you are reading this means your brain is perfectly okay. You can think, you can reason, you can speculate, decide, and contemplate. You are functioning. You might be deaf but your brain isn’t, you might have an amputation but your brain doesn’t. Your brain is okay, your brain functions so you can think. Now think; am I proud of who I am, where I am, what I am doing, am I trying the best to get to where I want to be, am I taking responsibilities for my failures or looking for who to throw the blame on, am I growing or am I just stagnant, am I doing the right things or looking for ways to just live in youthful exuberance, be a juvenile, delinquent in his ways of thinking, am I wasting my time on productive things, am I proud of how people see me, do I read, study, invest, build, sacrifice or do I just look for ways to cut corners, gossip and party, am I wasting my money on the right things, what do I hav...

When I was in JSS3, that juvenile with the low cut and very little knowledge about life, we had this mock exam and Mathematics, Math was everyone’s greatest fear. After submitting my answer booklet, I realized few minutes after the exam that I had totally neglected the last number at the back of the question booklet and realized I totally miscalculated a number worth ten marks. I just wanted to pass out and never wake up. My teacher refused to give me my answer booklet, I felt as though my life was completely over………… it passed When I was in SSS2, I had this badass dislocation on my foot courtesy of Jason Derulo that took me in for surgery and cost me the whole of my second term. I missed a lot and thought I wasn’t going to be promoted into SSS3. I had to write my second and third term exam together. I had to read my ass and the little fat I had on me off, I remember always being tired and how probability was a total bitch cause no one ever taught i...

At times; life can be overwhelming. Let’s face it; we have to struggle to get results. Read to pass an examination, workout to have a great body, persevere and face rejections to make it, breathe and wait when things don’t work out. And at times this struggle messes with our initiative and upturns our regular pattern of thinking. I used to tell someone a while ago; life is simple; people just twist it up and turn it into their own personal devil but someone made me realize that life is not that simple but struggling through it with a calm mind that all is gonna be okay makes it easier. Here’s a true life example of a shipwreck who feels life’s unfair; Ebony .K. Wills. EBONY’S STORY Ebony .K was a young lady with a lot of potentials; she was a passionate artist and a beautiful designer. She was fortunate to be part of a beautiful family, the third of three girls each following each other with nothing more than one year and a few months. Though her father died when her mother was pregna...

According to Elizabeth Kubler Ross, a Swiss American Psychiatrist after a devastating incidence we go through five stages of grief. We go though DENIAL We try to make ourselves believe that this is not happening to us, we were careful, played our cards right. We deny, we try to close our eyes to the obvious but then nothing disappears and we get ANGER We fall into rage. Why is this happening to me. I don't deserve it. we put the blame on everyone and get mad at everything. but nothing seems to go away still then we BARGAIN If only we could give everything to make this go away. Go back one more day and try to fix things, sell anything just for a second chance. It's never that easy you realise then we fall into DEPRESSION We realise nothing can really be done about the past, then we wallow in self pity, take whatever substance to numb the pain trying to make yourself pay for everything that has happened. Realising how many things could actually be different. Then finally yo...
