THE “CANDY CRUSH” MENTALITY

Hello again people, I hope you have enjoyed reading my articles online. Please remember to comment on the box below and log on to my facebook page www.facebook.com/iexcel360 for more inspirational quotes and words from yours truly. Today I want to talk about the CANDY CRUSH mentality. For those of you who are conversant with this game, you might think of words like sweet, sugar crush etc. But now I want to talk about the addictive tendencies of this particular game and how we can use the same addictive tendencies in a positive light. I want to start by saying that I am a huge fan of the game. I play it every day. I love the challenge of the levels and the fact that I will not quit until I have finished a level and move on to the next one. But I have realized one thing, the game is so addictive to the point where people just play and not realize the sole purpose of the game itself. A female friend once told me, “always read between the lines”. The game itself preys on our NEVER...

THE THIN LINE BETWEEN FEAR AND RESPECT (THE THIN LINE SERIES)

Hello folks, hope you’ve had a wonderful day? I hope you have enjoyed my previous articles. If so, thanks a lot for reading them. It means a lot to me. Today I will be writing about the thin line between Fear and Respect. This is another part in the THIN LINE series. The thin line series for those who are reading this for the first time, is a series I made up which talks about the lines men cross which could be detrimental to their lives. First of all let us talk about fear. According to my Dictionary App, Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by actual or perceived danger. Another definition depicts fear as a sense induced by someone or something. The synonyms of fear include dread, phobia, scare, anxiety and apprehension. As for me I am going with the second definition that, Fear is a feeling of being kept captive by someone because that person has or can do something to you. So in order to get on his good side you will do all he asks.

THE “HAPPY” DRUG

Hello everyone, today I want to talk about the “Happy Drug”. In this context, I will be talking about the extreme/risky stunts people do to find happiness. I know there is a saying that you should live your life like it is your last but have you ever stop to think about the choices that you make? Some people live life carelessly all because they want to be “happy”. To find happiness, they resort to doing unfathomable things to themselves and in this piece, I‘ll be talking about some of the stunts people pull to make themselves happy. But before I begin, I want to talk about my definition of the word “Happy”. According to me, it is just a feeling of freedom and whatever makes you smile. The feeling of freedom is just like the song HAPPY by Pharrell “feeling like a room without a roof”.

THE FIGHT CLUB

Hello once again, beautiful people. Today I want to talk about the “The Fight Club”. I am writing this piece in reference to the famous Brad Pitt movie with the same title. Before I begin, I will like to start with a brief synopsis of the movie “The fight Club”. This movie is about a character Brad Pitt who is a charismatic activist who owns a fight club and encourages its members to transfer their anger towards society to themselves through violence. He talks about the unfairness of society and how the government limits our freedom to speak,what we hear and the kind of clothes they should wear. The members of this club are regular folks who are fed up with life and they get-off of each other by beating each other senseless. The main character himself is a lazy bum who has a wrecked apartment but is charismatic enough to amass quite a following.

THE THIN LINE BETWEEN JEALOUSY AND RESENTMENT (THE “THIN LINE” SERIES)

Hello once again, today I want to discuss  a trend that is as old as the creation of man which is jealousy and how it has been mistaken for resentment. The topic of jealousy takes various shades and colours from the jealousy of a lover, the jealousy of a specific gift to the jealousy of a person’s success. The reason why I am writing this is to tell you that being jealous is ok, but don’t let it grow into resentment. I know you might say “hey aren’t those the same?” but they are totally different things and in this piece, I will tell you the difference between the two. My definition of Jealousy is an advanced form of admiration for someone when they do something or perform a feat which you are unable to do. For instance let us take two male singers one is a high pitch singer who can even use the “whistle” technique of singing and the other singer who has a baritone voice capable of shaking the bones of any listener. The high pitched singer could be jealous because he does not h...

YOU ARE NOT “NORMAL”

Hello once again, today I want to write about the word “Normal” and how it relates to our young ones and by young ones, I am talking about our teenagers who have been pressured into doing things that our society deems “Normal” which ideally is considered wrong. On the next part of this series, I will be talking to full grown adults which also include me. I will be talking about some of the vices that affect our teens these days. Mind you, I am not a scientist. What I am about to write is what I have observed in my present locale. So please if you know any other vice, feel free to leave them at the comment section of this blog.

Words of Wisdom for the New Month

Hello folks, welcome to the end of the first month of the year and the beginning of the second month of the year 2016. At this point we can say that this year is not new anymore and we can finally get off the couch and do some work and exercise our brains. The brain is said to be the hard drive of the human body which stores information/releases information to the entire body. There is a popular saying “You cannot give what you don’t have”. If your brain is filled with nothing, you won’t be able to give anything to your society.
