Maybe in the 90s or possibly in the next century people will look upon the 80s as the age of masturbation, when it was taken to the limit; that might be all that's going on right now in a big way.

A Food For Thought. You

A Food For Thought. You ought to do these four things as often as possible. Firstly, you've got to quest for/acquire whatever you need. Secondly, you ought to appreciate/­­enjoy your needs when you finally get/acquire them. Thirdly, you've got to share your needs that you've acquired already with someone else/people out there i.e. someone/people that you are better off or rather the less privileged around you/afar off. The last but never the least. Most importantly, you've got to acknowledge/appreciate/­­glorify the one (God almighty) who gave you the power/grace/life/privelege to quest for/eventually acquire every of your need. For, without him (God) you can't acquire any of your needs. Oh! Yes, you just heard me right as usual, no matter how clever/smart/intelligent/hardworking/academically qualified you may think that you are currently, without God you can't/won't even quest for your needs let alone acquiring them.

Irrespective of how good or

Irrespective of how good or bad you do think life is treating you presently. For the fact you do wake up each day, be thankful to God at least for seeing the light of the day. Because, someone somewhere else was denied to see today/the present. Besides, many out there are just merely struggling to survive and yet they are not bothered neither are they complaining. So come on, give God thanks for who/what/where you are currently.

Anyone who refuses to leave

Anyone who refuses to leave his/her past in the past is likely to adversely affect his/her future. Yes you heard me right, therefore, you've got to have a rethink and do live for/appreciate what today/present has to offer you and not at all what the past/yesterday has already taken away from you. Besides, the future ahead of you has a lot of goodies/positivities to offer you even more than whatever you think that you've lost in the past.

The willingness to give others

The willingness to give others a listening ear will automatically make you teacheable and make them your teachers. Listen up, you ought to be teacheable if you've been unteacheable all these while. Because, the more you think you know, the more you will realize that you know less than you even thought that you knew. Besides, no human is an island of his/her own. So, you are expected to be punctual/humble in order to learn from others.

Make something of true love

Your mouth/word is one of

Your mouth/word is one of the most powerful tool/instrument which you've got. As a matter of fact, the words of your mouth can captivate/enslave you permanently or liberate you for life. Moreover, the words of your mouth can equally lead you into a mess and as well it can lead you to mercy. So, dare to use your mouth to speak positively and emphatically too all through no matter what you are going through currently. Do remember, a closed mouth is as good as a closed destiny.

True happiness emanates from nothing/nowhere

True happiness emanates from nothing/nowhere else but from/by deciding/refusing never to be worried about your anxieties/lacks/needs/deficiencies. And then, resolving wholly to cast all your anxieties/lacks/needs/deficiencies upon God who has long said/promised to carry/take care of all your anxieties/needs/lacks/deficiencies scripture reference (1st Peter 5 : 7).

Dare to add value to

Dare to add value to the lives of others. Because each time you improve/better someone else's life. You are unknowingly sending forth a ripple of hope in what appears to be a hopeless life. You are as well giving a meaning to what seems to be a meaningless life. Yes of course, that's just what you will end up doing/achieving in someone else's life/other people's lives, if only you will dare to add value to a life or more. But, I urge you, to have the gut and do just that. For, it will surely pay you off someday.

In spite of life's distressing

In spite of life's distressing circumstances. Never quit to trust in God. For, he (God) will surely take care of you sooner or later. Oh! yes, he can and he will do just that. But, provided you will continually trust in him in toto, scripture reference Nahum 1: 7). Besides, he (God) has already taken care of those whose conditions/circumstances were worser/more miserable than yours e.g. Jabez, Esther, Modecaih among others. So, keep on trusting in him (God) even against all odds.

Everything that you've got already/whatever

Everything that you've got already/whatever that you will get subsequently came/will come by grace but with faith. Oh! yes, it's never by your might/intelligence. Moreover, God's grace is meant to work out wonders/goodies for you. But, mind you not without faith. I mean, grace and faith are pari-passu i.e. they go/work hand in hand. Yes, you can't receive God's grace without faith and until you're faithful God's grace won't abound in/with you period.

I was an only child

I was an only child for 10 years, I didn't start school until 8, and I didn't have a TV for years. So I found all these voices when playing with my toys. They're really my toys' voices. Schizophrenia comes in handy.

I derive enormous satisfaction from

I derive enormous satisfaction from being associated with determined and capable people. People who have a passion for building a company. Many of today's entrepreneurs persevered throughout the downturn; they refused to be beaten down. That's about more than venture capital—it gives one faith in the human condition.
