I guess the book review will have to wait another day, but don't worry will still do a bit of it, trust me...
Before I say anything, will like to say this: " I had a meeting today with a new friend of mine and it was awesome. I learnt a lot and I am sure she did to.. It seems that making friends, especially with people who think like I do, has become a new hobby for me..lol, but I think it's cool..
Thank you Bookie.
Someone sent this to me and I said who better to share this with, than all my followers who have become very dear to my heart....

"Dare you"
A professor once hit upon a great discovery while buttoning up his vest. Or rather, he hit upon the discovery because his vest wouldn't button up. His little daughter had sewn up some of the buttonholes by mistake. His fingers were going along as usual in their most intricate operations of buttoning a button, when something happened. A button wouldn't button.
His fingers fumbled helplessly for a moment, then sent out a call for help. His mind woke up. The eyes looked down.....A new idea was born, or rather a new understanding of an old idea. What the professor had discovered is that fingers can remember. You know how automatic things can become, riding a bicycle, using a keyboard, or even driving home from the office.
Then the professor began playing pranks on his classes, and he found the answer was always the same. As long as they can keep on doing the things they had always done, their minds wouldn't work. It was only when he figuratively sewed up their button holes, stole their notebooks, locked the doors, upset their routine, that any thinking was done.
So he came to the great, and now generally accepted, conclusion that the mind of a man is "an emergency organ". That it relegates everything possible to automatic functions as long as it is able, and that it is only when the old order of things won't work any longer that it gets on the job and starts working. Keeping things the same may be keeping you stupid.
Maybe that job loss is an opportunity for your brain to wake up and discover meaningful work rather than just a pay cheque. Maybe having the bank refuse your loan application will prompt your brain to come up with a better solution. Maybe that flat tire will trigger a great invention that will make you a millionaire. Maybe the warning about high blood pressure will wake you up to better health and richer relationships....
Hmm this really is some food for thought... I have always known that necessity is the mother of invention...
Quick question:
Have you asked yourself why America and Europe are developed? (Now apart from the slave trade and all).?...
For me I will say that it has to do with what they don't have...
In Africa, we have everything at our disposal, good weather, abundance of natural resources and limited natural disasters etc, maybe that is why we still think the same way..
"Notez Bien: even after all this in my mind I know that there is hope for Africa, and the day will come when it will no longer be associated with hunger, poverty, corruption etc, but with wealth, natural resources, development and the good things life has to offer....
This is my opinion I will like to hear us....
