Good Teachers are our Heroes

Teaching is also the pillow which holds the heads of the world. If I were to use one word to describe a good teacher then it would be ‘ hero ’. A teacher has...

The pink hibiscus on the table

One of the hotel staff had severed this little branch from its main frame, placed it in a lovely vase and rested it on our table to enhance the décor of the room. We were in our second year...

Have it and own it
You can have some things but never own it. On the flip side, you can also own some things but never truly have it. It is human nature once we find something we are fond of or something we admire deeply, then we want to have it, hold it and own it. Love is one of those things, when we experience it...

I can do better than that
My old childhood nature is still very much a part of me today. I attended a function last year and noticed that the event was very poorly organized and left far more to be desired.

Smoking or non-smoking
“Almost everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, emphysema, and heart disease; that it can shorten your life by 10 years or more; and that the habit can cost a smoker thousands of dollars a year. So how come people are still lighting up? The answer, in a word, is addiction.” Adapted from...

Do you listen with your mouth?
Most of us are guilty of this at some point or another. This is where you are in a discussion or just having a conversation with a friend and you do one of the following: Think of what to say while the other person is still speaking. This usually results in us not listening intensely and so we never...

Love has hands
I was reminded today of my very own words which I published in my first book. "LOVE HAS HANDS" Love is labor. The hands represent our ability to hold, hug, caress and give. Love does all these and more. The hand of love means that we are able to share and care for each other. We are able to show and...
