#MyRandomThoughts

Sometimes you are unsatisfied with your life, while many people in this world are dreaming of living your life.

A child on a farm sees a plane fly overhead and dreams of flying. But, the pilot on the plane sees the farmhouse and dreams of returning home. That's life!! Enjoy yours.

If wealth is the secret to happiness, then the rich should be dancing on the streets. But only poor kids do that.

If power ensures security, then officials and made-men should walk unguarded. But those who live simply, sleep soundly.

If beauty and fame bring ideal relationships, then celebrities should have the best marriages.

Live simply. Walk humbly and love genuinely! All good will come back to you!!! It is not the means of exit from earth that matters but the destination.

LIVE

Don't exist, LIVE

Live for those tired of breathing,

Give out of your banquet of hope to ease the pain of the condemned,

Live for the expressions that captures truth with no chains,..
Bring together an harmonious weather for those without a sky,
Live for the essence that never clogs the wheel of progress,
Live,it is sacred to live,
Live and let live...

Martin Luther "50 years anniversary of Keeping the Dream Alive"

Been a while I came around... lotta things keeping me outta here.like my various social responsibility projects and  working our jobs on  www.aboutcsi.blogspot.com (you probably know that already). Just thought I should share this though.  You obviously know the Martin Luther Story and the vision filled "I Have A Dream"  Then you should like this

50 years anniversary of Keeping the Dream Alive 

50 years ago, a vision filled speech was unleashed to transform the Black and Blessed Race 

I have a dream !!!
What you might not know about the speech .....

"I have a dream this afternoon that my four little children will not come up in the same young days that I came up within, but they will be judged on the basis of the content of their character, not the color of their skin."

The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke these words in 1963.

King spoke these words in Detroit, two months before he addressed a crowd of nearly 250,000 with his resounding "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington for Freedom and Jobs on August 28, 1963.

Several of King's staff members actually tried to discourage him from using the same "I have a dream" refrain again.


As we all know, that didn't happen. But how this pivotal speech was crafted is just one of several interesting facts about what is one of the most important moments in the 20th century in the United States:

MLK's speech almost didn't include "I have a dream"

King had suggested the familiar "Dream" speech that he used in Detroit for his address at the march, but his adviser the Rev. Wyatt Tee Walker called it "hackneyed and trite."

So, the night before the march, King's staff crafted a new speech, "Normalcy Never Again."

King was the last speaker to address the crowd in Washington that day. As he spoke, gospel singer Mahalia Jackson called out to King, "Tell 'em about the dream, Martin."

Then he paused and said, "I still have a dream."

Walker was out in the audience. "I said, 'Oh, s---.'"

"I thought it was a mistake to use that," Walker recalled. "But how wrong I was. It had never been used on a world stage before."

The rest, of course, is history.

SHAVING THE BLADE!

  

                   SHAVING THE BLADE… Prof Fortune Omosola

                                               

                                            Life is an abstract mechanism

                                             powered by tales and fury

                                    a functioning episode prevailing of humour

                                                 and prevailing ideals

                                         a concept of horror powered by fute

                                              and submerging infertile

                                          temporal, disgusting yet revealing

                                             occupying and transcending

                                                   life, what a mystery

                                             deepened in colossal strength

                                             of myth, aphorism and prejudice

                                                    For all words worth,

                                                     life is an harlot.

DESTINY AND THE GOD FACTOR

-->

DESTINY AND THE GOD FACTOR

AYELESO TOYOSI

                           “Yea, though I walk through the valley

                                   Of the shadow of death,

                                       I fear no evil,

                                  For you are with me;

                        Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

 

The human destiny is metaphorical to soap bubbles. While some never rise at all, some rise as though they don’t cause, they fall to the ground as soon as they rise and bust. In the same vein, there are some that rise and continue to move higher and higher till they disappear into heights. It is important to note that all the soap bubbles with their varying experiences are borne out of the same soap solution.

Now comparing it to human life, just as soap-bubbles are borne out of the same solution everyone born into this world is born with what I call the inbuilt ability to succeed”. This is a force that follows every human being that is born on the surface of the earth right from the period of labour. This therefore implies that everyone born into this world is supposed to be a success. Then, this could arouse this important question; “If everyone is born a success, then why is everyone not successful?

Interestingly, the answer is not far fetched and this is where the God factor comes in. The beautiful destiny of everyone that comes carrying success is born into this world, which is the valley of the shadow of death. This “valley of the shadow of death” which we call life is full of cosmic waves, which therefore tend to attack individual destiny depicted as the “soap bubbles”. Fortunately even in this valley full of cosmic waves that tend to blow up the soap bubbles so that they fall, how beautiful is it to note that some still end up rising higher and the sky happens to be their limit.

Full Text of President Jonathan's 52nd Independence Anniversary Speech

Beloved countrymen and women, on this day, fifty-two years ago, our founding fathers brought joy and hope to the hearts of our people when they won independence for our great country. Nigeria made a clean break with more than six decades of colonial rule, and emerged as a truly independent nation. That turning point was a new beginning for our nation.

Those who witnessed the lowering of the Union Jack and the emergence of the Green White Green flag continue to relish the memory, because that ceremony was not just about the destiny of a nation, but the future of a people.

That future is here; we are the inheritors of a great legacy that goes even much farther into the past.
The worthy patriots who made this possible were young men and women in their twenties and thirties. They worked together to restore dignity and honour to the Nigerian people. Their resolve united a multicultural and multilingual nation of diverse peoples, with more than 250 distinct languages and ethnic groups.
In 1960, our diversity became a source of strength, and the new leaders resolved to carry the flag of independence for the benefit of future generations. They had their differences, but they placed a greater premium on the need to come together to build a new nation.
It is that resolve, and that glorious moment that we celebrate today. We also celebrate the patriotism of our heroes past: Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Sir Michael Okpara, Chief Anthony Enahoro, Herbert Macaulay, and several others who made the case for our independence.
We remember as always, their contributions to the making of the Nigerian nation, and the efforts of their successors since 1960. We also celebrate the unfailing optimism and resilience of Nigerians who remain proud of our national identity.
