“You drown not by falling into the river, ...

...but by staying submerged in it.”

So it’s not not fatal when you fall, 

But when you stay down you’re crushed;

We’re crushed by self defeats,

not by unfavorable conditions 

which are normal and systemic,

But by refusing to look up when we fall;

The sun, the moon and the stars are still up in the sky,

They need no one’s permission to shine the light

On the path of the one that has chosen to see what lies in the morning after,

 the coldest night is over.

5 things government should subsidize.

People submit themselves to government becàuse they believe that government has the resources to make life comfortable in ways most individuals can’t. 

Government everywhere knows this or should know this fact. 

In places, where the legitimacy and acceptability are obtained by popular means, people who seek public offices promise to make life easier for the masses by lowering costs of essential goods and services.

One of the popular ways people-centric government keeps this promise is by subsidizing the costs of  filling basic needs. 

The costs of filling the following basic needs are often subsidized by governments that empathize with the sufferings of their people are:

1. Education,

2. Food,

3. Quality health care,

4. Decent housing and,

5. Energy.

People friendly governments subsidize costs of satisfying these needs because they understand that;

1. When the most people have access to quality education, they would in return use their acquired skills to support governments efforts to strengthen the economy and develop the society for everyone.

2. Without food, people will starve. A society populated by hungry people breeds violent crimes. The costs of, in the least, controlling violent crimes are more than the costs of preventing them.

3. Health is wealth. A healthy person is a happy person. A responsible government would always prioritize the enlargement of accessibility to quality health care for its people.

4. People need decent places to call homes. 

5. Easy accessibility to quality and cheap sources of energy would boost industrialization efforts by both public and private sectors. 

Such efforts would produce more jobs for the people,  increase the availability of quality products at cheap prices, increase the gross domestic  product, increase the per capita income of the people and produce a robust economy. 

At least, the cost of food and energy should be subsidized by governments. 

Kristalina Georgieva, IMF boss agrees;

"Governments need to subsidise the cost of food and energy for the poorest members of society."

3 Big Questions To Ask About Life.

 

Life presents to us all, numerous questions. 

But it reveals its meaning to only those  who seek answers to only few questions.

The meaning of life is found in the answers to:

1. Who am I,

2. Why am I here and ,

3. How do I fulfil the reason I am here.

Searching for answers to more, would easily make  you unhappy and unfulfilled in life.

Your success is all that matters.

 

When you make attempts to take a big leap,

You should expect to be pushed and kicked

by those who seem to love and support you,

and give you hope with their nice words 

but their actions give you every reason,

to seek to be isolated from humanity.

No. Rather choose the isolation

that protects your exclusive position,

to love who you are 

and also, all those that come into your life,

it doesn't matter, 

that many among those who smile back when say hi,

are those who don't want you to win,

what matters is, you succeed 

and when you do, you become the star

that no darkness can stand on its path.

What is the best happiness quote?

Motivation in your pocket.

 For me, it is Ralph Waldo Emerson quote,

"For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness."

     Pause! What do we get by being angry? 

Does anger on its own change bad situations and make them good? No!

Then if it doesn't , why do we sacrifice moments of happiness for an investment in anger that returns only negative?

It doesn't make sense, does it? 

But it makes sense to go slowly, so that you don't miss life's beautiful moments, which are often sandwitched between the beginning  and endless ending of the rat race to make ends meet.

It's this endless rat race that generates competitions among us and competitions create moments of disappointment, frustration and anger.

And anger, robs us of happiness when we submit to it. 

The good news is, you have the power to always choose happiness over anger. 

The power comes when you make up your mind to intentionally seek out people and things, that fill you with laughter and keep you happy.

How to stop hurting after being cheated on.

 

The gods. The beginning.

When you love truly, you invest your whole heart into it. 

No one that invests their heart into loving someone, willingly chooses to share the love-of-their life with another person. 

But loving someone with your whole heart and being completely faithful to a relationship, are never enough to stop a partner bent on being unfaithful. 

An unfaithful partner will always hurt a faithful partner. And a faithful partner is always going to feel cheated, betrayed, incomplete and not worthy enough.

It’s natural to feel bad when your faithfulness to someone is rewarded with unfaithfulness. It’s also natural to decide not to love any more with your whole heart after you’ve been cheated by a philandering  partner. 

But understand this, there’s always someone else , some where who would love you with their whole heart and would be faithful to only you.

To meet that someone, you should find the mental strength to walk away from an unrepentant cheat. 

  

It's not going to be easy but when you make up your mind to help yourself, you're going to find the courage to reach out to family and great friends, who would be more than glad to help.
