NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

What are your New Year resolutions?

Studies show you’re more likely to commit to a decision, plan or project and see it to a successful completion if it’s written down and we make others aware. It's almost cliche, almost everyone you ask what they want to do would say, "I want to make the world a better place". 

Well, the reality is the world cannot and will not be better, if we do not become better persons. So let our resolutions make us better persons, then we bring to life the better world we dream and wish for. 

Please drop your comments and re-share. To a better world, cheers!

NELSON MANDELA DISCHARGED FROM HOSPITAL

Nelson Mandela 

It has been 3 weeks since former South African President and Icon, Nelson Mandela was admitted to the hospital.  He was discharged on Boxing Day, December 26 from a hospital in Pretoria, the South African capital. Mr. Mandela, fondly called “Madiba”- his clan name, was admitted to the hospital Saturday, December 8, he was diagnosed with a lung infection and underwent gallstone surgery.

The procedure was successful according to his doctors and although he has not yet fully recovered, he has made steady progress. A medical team will remain with the 94-year old Nobel Laureate to provide “home based high care” at his residence in the Johannesburg neighbourhood of Houghton.

I wish him a full and speedy recovery, as do billions around the world.

Dear Diary...Traffic!

First of all, I apologize this is coming late. This was supposed to have been posted about 48hours ago. I hope I've been forgiven? Without further ado, lets go straight to the story of my day and boy what a day it was.

Traffic! Traffic!! Traffic!!! That was the theme for today. Unfortunately, I didn't get the memo; I would have made some changes to my schedule. Oh well, let me take you to the beginning.

I woke up at 6am. I conducted some early morning business, placed an order for the delivery of some goods later in the day. I scheduled it for 5-ish, I planned to go out you see, I figured I should be back by then. I was to meet my dad on the mainland sometime before noon, so I set out in my car for the 1 hour or so journey. As if it was a sign of things to come, I spent about 75mins on a journey that should take 60mins. But I didn't think much of it, since I wasted some time by taking a route I was unfamiliar. I was in limbo for a while, tried using GPS; it didn't help much as the route it suggested was blocked off. Then I remembered a saying common among my people, the Yoruba people, it says, "the man who knows how to ask for directions never gets lost". So, I asked the next person I saw, a young boy, he pointed out the way. Coincidentally, it was a path I had passed taken and I remember thinking, "this could be the way", remind to listen to my inner voice. Anyway, I made my way to my dad's office and after a while we set out together to conduct some business and effect some transactions at the bank.

This time the Traffic was not of cars but of people in form of a long queue in the banking hall. I suppose since it was the last day of the week, a lot of people were making last minute transactions, as were we. It took us another hour or more to complete our transaction and head back to our individual businesses.

I needed to make some purchases, so I made a stop at the market. With the boot and back of my car, filled with the stuff I just bought, I set out on the trip back to the island, it was 2pm. Remember I said the trip should take about one hour? I didn't get home until past 5! An extra 2hrs on the road. It was a hot day, 33ºC!

Exhausted, thirsty, skin covered with a thin film of dust (it's harmattan season in these parts), I finally made it home. Showered, had something to eat and went back to work. I had a few hours left before Close of Business and there was still quite a bit to do.

N.B: I obviously didn't fill my diary *covering face*. I'll make it up to you.
