When hardwork isn't enough: Lessons life taught me the hard way.
by @marsdave

There was a time I used to believe that life followed this strict, never changing formula, want to know the formula, well here is it, work hard+stay disciplined=success. You know like the everyday Nigeria slang "no food for a lazy man". I so much believe and carried it like a badge of honor, ready to lecture anyone who dared to disagree.

Come with me?
by @oluchi31

I'm not someone to take walks often. I rarely do it. I love being surrounded by nature but most of the times, I would rather stay in my room, shuffling app to app. These days, however, I find myself taking walks more often. Even when I don't really have anywhere to go, I find myself taking walks around the school environment and surrounding myself with the beauty which is nature..

Strengthening the roots of my mind
by @manisharajpoot

Earlier, I used to believe that individuals meet people according to their nature. I used to think that no one could ever do immoral fortes to me, nor I could make bad friends in my life because my nature is acceptable, loving I never harm anyone around me I would only assemble with good people moreover when I am not doing wrong things to anyone, why would anyone be hypocritical or do wrong things to me?.
