Any Day, Any Minute is Fishing Time.

E showup is my shop. And this shop opens daily. No, I compare it to a pitch where: Every day, l Show Up. I kick the ball and do the touches. Sometimes they break my leg. Sometimes I lose. Sometimes I cry in the rain. But the zeal and quest to score is too much, I always get back to the game. No wind, thunder, lightning, or storm kills my spirit. God is my backup.  No stuff to show, only stories and experiences to tell. Own competition. Own targets.  Hey, you own a shop? That hustle is your shop and you got to make sales. Each day, make them come back calling your name. Report to the office daily and get the job done; Diligently, while observing double accountability.  Three years on. #Eshowup boat sailed daily. Went fishing daily. Any day, any time has been a fishing time.   The Dream Shall Never Die. 

EXPORTING WRITTEN CONTENT (2).

EPISODE TWO. In this, I'll highlight the things the company or client you are working for is expecting from a writer; By the way, I first worked for writemyessayshere.com  ( ain't sure it still exists). I delivered hundreds of essays and research papers. Currently, I use writersarc.org , and  writershub.org .  1. Meet the deadline. If the paper is 6 hrs , it should be submitted within that time, beyond that starts attracting penalties and tension from the client. If fortunately or unfortunately one cannot meet the deadline, request for extension (though usually short) rather than keep quiet. 2. Delivering the paper. At times we pick up papers but have no clue of how to do it. In case you find it very technical to be done, you can drop it, but it attracts penalties. 3.Communication. The assumption is that one should be online - I advice you set or allow email notifications. Once you apply for an order, you are supposed to confirm receipt almost immediately. If they

EPISODE ONE. "A NEW FREELANCING ZONE". This is what I have always told anyone I introduce to the volatile industry.  Sometimes I meet with professionals, and they ask what I do, and am like…. where do I start from - Just to tell them, "I export written content." Yes, exporting written content.  For you to understand better, I will give two scenarios: - Scenario 1 . Suppose you are in University pursuing your undergraduate or postgraduate. On top of that, you participate in the music club or choir. Still, you take part in basketball, not to mention, you play cards and hang around with friends.  Then, one fine morning ( Let me use Thursday ), the philosophy lecturer issues an assignment to be submitted the following evening (Friday). Mark you, on Friday you are to represent the school's basketball department in a friendly match, mandatory attendance. This means that you only have Friday to work on the assignment and submit it the same day. But it's on th

YES, I CHANGED.

I shouldered the pillow away. My head comfortably on my hands; I turned to the wall. I wasn't there yet - I wanted a comfortable rest. After a busy night, all I wanted was to sleep. I, therefore, pulled the duvet to cover my head.  There, in the dark, I tried crossing my eyes even harder. The mind was still on. I had to surrender:  Hey, how is the clock ticking? How have you changed? How the world, too, is changing? Interestingly, how everyone must adopt.  (All this flashed in my mind in a second or two.). Yes, I have changed. Maybe to a quieter and more reserved individual. More calculative and determined. One stride at a time is what matters the most now – even if it means late sleep, early mornings, more 'lone' time. Yes, it feels like it – The right turn, speed, and focus. Ambition can only be its peak. Amazing persistence.  With the peace there is in silence, these changes are the costs of ambition . It goes to the extent of being misunderstood, appearing crazy,

RESET

For 35 minutes, I sat along the cemetery pathway. This time I had glasses. Then came this lady whom I had been watching from a distance. Though I ought to have consoled her, she held me by the shoulders and started; “…you get older, and you learn there is only one sentence and if you can say it to yourself it offers more comfort than almost any other; I am not going to live like this anymore! Some make that decision at 15, some at 25, others at 50 while most never make it. By this time, she sits by my right side. Then continues, “Life is generous to those who pursue their personal legend. One stroke at a time, everyone is intended to become the person they choose to become. Without gambling for the future, one should take control of their environment. However, look; there are certain times in our life when we don’t get to choose what happens. It’s tough to know when to accept your circumstances, and when to take the reigns and make a concerted effort to influence your life

FOUR MINUTES HOLIDAY

… I am in a boat bike, 1630hrs: Moderately , Its_My_Time goes first in the playlist. Wonderful_wonder by Nathaniel reignites my love for Gods nature as it plays next. Some kilometres away — is a dream of paradise; an escape from the rat race, a perfect patch of sand where you can gaze at a calm blue sea while relaxing under the rustling palms. Well, not all islands are created the same. This is my new home. Here, I hide out in a luxurious over-the-water bungalow and bask in my good fortune as well as fall asleep to the gentle slosh of the sea. It’s fun. As I cycle back to the island, Roger Whittaker’ A Little Goodbye sinks deep and moves me to tears…(chorus). A little good-bye A little I'll do what I must do A little good-bye A little I'll do what I must do The sundowns. Every new day offers a unique mechanism — a new change. A Laptop, internet access, food & power is good enough to sort me for survival on the island. However, this calls

THE KINDERGARTEN

I was ten years by then. In a small kiosk, I met my caring Dad who broke the news to me; “I’m transferring you to an academy.” Over the next 11 yrs or so, I spent most of my life trying to specialize myself in a building called ‘school.’ Finally, according to the set system, the schooling came an end when I did my last paper on campus, BBA 407. Little did I know schooling had just begun! When I was 21 years, I remember these words from David, former schoolmate: Life itself is a school — a kindergarten. I thought he was mad! Today, I stamp this statement as true. Life you are exceptional, And I want you to know how much I enjoy being your student How fast the years run I try hard to learn all that I can Indeed, there is so much to know! The one thing you have tried to teach me To last my whole life through, Is to know that you are SPECIAL. BEST KINDERGARTEN. With distinguished professor's, life is a thorough kindergarten. With all the degrees, pape
