  • Yearning for True Companionship: Connecting with a Kindred Spirit

    Who would you like to talk to soon?

    In the hustle and bustle of life, amidst the chaos and clamor, there’s often a silent longing to connect with someone—a yearning for that comforting presence, that familiar voice that understands without the need for words. As I ponder over the question, “Who would I like to talk to soon?” the answer crystallizes effortlessly: it’s the one who stands by me, unwaveringly, through thick and thin.

    The person I yearn to speak with is not merely a casual acquaintance or a passing friend; rather, they are the steadfast rock in the tempest of life. They are the one I can dial at the stroke of midnight, knowing that their voice on the other end will soothe my restless soul, without an ounce of offense or inconvenience. It’s the reassurance that no matter the hour, their presence is a balm to my worries, a sanctuary for my troubled mind.

    But it’s more than just availability—it’s the comfort of their company that draws me near. The person I long to talk to soon is the one with whom I share an unspoken understanding, a bond forged through shared experiences and mutual respect. It’s the ease with which I can be myself around them, shedding the masks society often demands we wear, and basking in the warmth of genuine connection.

    In a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain, the prospect of conversing with this person brings a sense of peace and stability. Whether we engage in heartfelt discussions or share lighthearted banter, the essence of our bond remains unchanged—a testament to the enduring power of true companionship.

    So, as I contemplate who I wish to speak with in the near future, the answer is clear: it’s the one whose presence brings solace to my soul, whose company I cherish above all others. For in their embrace, I find not only a confidant but a kindred spirit—a reminder that amidst life’s tumult, there are always those who stand by us, ready to listen, ready to uplift, ready to simply be there.

      1. The Importance of a Pure Soul: Beyond Material Belongings

        What personal belongings do you hold most dear?

        When all is said and done, all we will have at the end is our souls. So maintaining a clean and pure soul is all we I need. we came in the world with nothing, we will leave with nothing. All the things we have spent time and energy acquiring will not be with us unfortunately when we are gone from the world, we carry nothing, not even our body. It is our soul alone that goes back to the LORD God that breathed life to us. But the body He made out of the soil is left just here.

        If the soul is impure and contaminated with all the things that are in the world, God will not receive it back.

        What makes our souls impure are the lusts of the fresh, greedy for money, pride, bitterness, malice, hatred immoral thoughts, lies, etc.

        So I keep my soul because it is all that matters at the end, everything else is useless when you stop breathing. All other things we have will be taken by people left alive except our souls.

        So I keep my soul by having fellowship with the creator of the universe in reading the holy scriptures and practicing good deeds and adopting the good culture that was introduced by the son of God, Jesus Christ.

        Vanity of vanities are all the things of the world. For this reason, i will not take bribes to avert justices or steal at my place of work when i have an opportunity to do so without my boss discovering it. Always trying to do what is right and just to everyone.


      2. Manage Your Collections Effectively: Tips and Tricks

        Do you have any collections?

        A collection of things is a group of similar things that you have deliberately acquired, usually over a period of time. For example among the things i have acquired for the last 10 years includes:

        Are you an avid collector? Do you find joy in amassing various items that reflect your passions and interests? Whether it’s books, music, or tech gadgets, managing collections effectively is crucial to preserve their value and enjoy them to the fullest. In this article, we’ll explore some tips and tricks to help you organize and maintain your collections efficiently.

        managing collections effectively requires careful planning, organization, and ongoing maintenance. By implementing these tips and tricks, you can ensure that your collections remain curated, accessible, and enjoyable for years to come. So go ahead, dust off those shelves, and embark on a journey of discovery with your cherished collections.

        Set Clear Goals

        If you collect things aimlessly, you may end up having a lot of junks that is not useful to you. Before expanding your collections further, define your objectives. Are you collecting for pleasure, investment, or both? Having clear goals will guide your purchasing decisions and prevent your collections from becoming overwhelming.

        Develop a system for categorizing and storing your items. Whether it’s alphabetical, chronological, or thematic, consistency is key. Invest in storage solutions like shelves, cabinets, or display cases to keep your collections organized and easily accessible.

        Regular Maintenance

        Schedule regular maintenance sessions to clean and dust your items. Proper care not only preserves their condition but also enhances their longevity. For books, consider using acid-free paper inserts to prevent yellowing and deterioration.

        Cataloging

        Keep a detailed inventory of your collections. This can be done manually using spreadsheets or through specialized cataloging software. Include relevant information such as titles, authors, release dates, and purchase prices. Digital photographs can also serve as visual records.

        Protective Measures

        Take proactive measures to protect your collections from potential hazards. Invest in archival-quality sleeves or cases for valuable books and records. Store fragile items away from direct sunlight, moisture, and fluctuating temperatures to prevent damage.

        Rotate Displays

        Keep your collections fresh by rotating displays periodically. This not only prevents dust buildup but also allows you to showcase different items based on seasonality or thematic relevance.

        Networking

        Connect with fellow collectors through online forums, social media groups, or local meetups. Networking provides opportunities for knowledge exchange, trading, and sourcing rare items that may complement your collections.

        Know When to Let Go

        As your collections evolve, periodically reassess their relevance and sentimental value. Consider selling, donating, or trading items that no longer align with your interests or goals. This not only frees up space but also ensures that your collections remain curated and meaningful.

          Now, let’s take a closer look at some of my personally curated collections:

          From classic textbooks to cutting-edge programming guides, my collection spans various languages and disciplines. Whether you’re a novice coder or seasoned developer, there’s something for everyone in this comprehensive library.

          Soul-stirring melodies and uplifting lyrics define my collection of gospel music. From traditional hymns to contemporary gospel artists, each album resonates with the power of faith and spirituality.

          Entrepreneurship, leadership, and innovation take center stage in my collection of business books. Featuring insights from industry titans and thought leaders, these books offer invaluable lessons for navigating the ever-changing landscape of commerce.

          Delve into the realm of numbers and equations with my collection of mathematics books. Whether you’re passionate about calculus, algebra, or geometry, there’s no shortage of fascinating concepts to explore. In the course of my study in mathematics and computer science i have collected hundreds of such books. I just wonder how many i will be able to study in the course of my days on earth.

          The curiosity in me drove me to want to understand nature and physical forces governing it. From young age i have developed keen interest with physics during teenage and college years, i always picked a book with the word physics on it’s hard cover. Consequently i collected soo many of them. When i discovered internet, i downloaded hundreds of them. If money and paying of bills was not needed, i would devote 20 years of my life to study them all, reporting in my study desk every morning and leaving very late. and From quantum mechanics to relativity theory, quantum mechanics, waves, radiations, measurements, forces, electronics, atmospheric physics, science of materials. These books offer a glimpse into the fundamental forces that shape our reality which i have strived to understand since i joined school.

          My first encounter with engineering was when our math teacher in college referred as to a book called ‘mathematics for engineers’. Initially i wasn’t interested very much but my curiosity was aroused in the process and i collected a couple of them from automotive engineering, mechanical, software, electronics, sound engineering and recently civil engineering. i have not read them beyond the first few pages but i hope to find time and understand what a few of them are all about. However, i understand that engineering Bridges the gap between physics theories and technological practice which i try to understand with my collection of engineering books. Covering a wide range of disciplines, from mechanical to electrical engineering, these books are essential resources for aspiring engineers and seasoned professionals alike.

          Most of them gathered when i was an IT student. They range from network accessories, hard disks, CDs and DVDs, network cables, USB, rams, motherboards etc.. i thought i would use them to in future but they are becoming obsolete in the face of rapidly changing technology, both in software and hardware.

          Whether you’re a hobbyist or tinkerer there are assortments of electronic components that can provide endless opportunities for experimentation and innovation.

          By effectively managing these collections, I’ve cultivated a curated environment that reflects my passions, interests, and aspirations. Whether it’s delving into the intricacies of programming or finding solace in the soothing melodies of gospel music, each collection brings its own unique value to my life.


        1. Make life beautiful for us

          What is the legacy you want to leave behind?

          Love, beauty and justice.

          I would to teach people that the money and material things they are pursuing will all their heart is not what matters. That chasing of wealth and riches of the world is like chasing after the wind, it is vanity of vanities because at the end of your life, all you have done to accumulate wealth feel like bubble that bursts. It profit nothing to your soul, you will have emptiness in your soul because money and things does not satisfy any one.

          What counts in life is the number of people that were made happier, how many lives that were saved because of your presence, what kind of relationship you created and maintained, what kind of solutions did your job or work created.

          Somebody once said, “if I live a thousands years but lack happiness, am not better than still born, who did not live to see the evil works that are done under the sun. So the greatest thing you can do is to create happiness in your life that endures till your death bed and ensure you have as many people as possible that are happy for you. Don’t sell your soul to evil and wickedness but do good, because after this life, all that matters are your good deeds. Because our days on earth are short, just like a smoke. Days flies, before you know it, you r nolonger a teenager, before you discover what it means to be a youth, you are already a middle age, and before you figure out what is all about in being a father you are a grand father, yet others other caught in evil times and their lives are suddenly cut before they can fulfil their days, and they don’t live to see their dreams come true. It is a great evil and vexation of spirit, seeing that the life of man is short and full of troubles. Man experiences evil and good at equal measure, so much so that at the end, he will find nothing after him.

          So what is good for the children of men? Eat what God has provided you. Be humble and help those that are in need, do not accumulate money at the expense of others.

          Make life beautiful by nurturing these three things: love, beauty and justices.

          Beauty is when you have excellence in all that you do.

          Love is when you care and cherish people by virtual of them being human being, not because of where they come from, religious background, political affiliation, material things they posses or any of those things we consider valuable and with which we use to judge people.

          Justices is when we stand for truth without considering what we are gaining or our self interests. It is when our decisions and actions are guided by greatest good rather than our narrow self interest in the things we do and decide. Justices is when we stand for the rights of the weakest people of society and poor of the land without considering positions and wealth of those that want to oppress them.

          Just is when we don’t take bribe and rewards so as to influence our decisions.

          The greatest legacy we can have is leaving the world much better than we found it. That can be done when we care more about the welfare of the human race than caring soo much about profits.

                    Why should I break my bone?. God says “Psalms 34:20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.”

                    What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?

                    My pullover mum bought for me many 13 years ago. It is a pullover I love dearly, nothing much has changed about it except some fading and few holes around the arm sleeves. It is a white silk pullover with shiny pink threads interwoven so that I look like a shining star from a distance. I have bought many clothes that I have dumped then but this one, no, because I always feel that a great love brought it to me
