WWE: CHAMP KOFI KINGSTON’S INSPIRING LIFE PHILOSOPHY…


       It’s no doubt that the WWE championship match between Daniel Bryan and Kofi Kingston proved to be the most eye-catchy, most thrilling and most inspiring among other matches in the recently held “Wrestlemania” 35- April 2019. Kofi who had travelled along the success journey for eleven years came to the top at last; triumphing gallantly over the former champion- Daniel Bryan. It was not an easy task as Daniel unleashed all his cruel tactics on his challenger. The situation usually looked hopeless in many cases, in which everybody would think it was the end of road for Kofi, but he (Kofi) would just be seen bouncing back. Even the commentators usually make incorrect predictions, sometimes declaring the end of the road for the challenger. The WWE universe no doubt played highly significant role in serving as relentless source of inspiration for Kofi Kingston.
        The spectators (Also known as WWE Universe) no doubt usually display their support for a competitor regarded to be genuinely hard- working, honest and determined to succeed without adopting any cunny means of attaining his goal. A few years ago; Daniel Bryan enjoyed similar massive support during a Wreslemania contest; precisely the version of 2013. He was in a match with Triple H and later had another match involving both Randy Orton and Batista… He became victorious in both matches; thereby becoming the overall champion. However, events changed with time and Daniel is now in the receiving end of the competition. The spectators roar as Kofi gained upper hand with chants of “Kofi! Kofi!” and there was silence whenever Daniel had the upper hand. Eventually, Kofi triumphed and has since become so famous as a champion.
       As it is well known, a champion is open to all forms of challenges, attacks and aggressions at any time as long as he remains the champion; and it is quite obvious that they are always prepared for whatever may come their way. On an occasion of such attacks by a fellow wrestler called Doff Ziglar, he pounced on the champion from behind and unleashed all sorts of destructive physical bashings on him. Later he (Doff) came on another occasion claiming that he should be champion in place of Kofi. In reply, Kofi reminded Doff that he (Doff) has an inherent habit of quitting intermittently, especially when things are not going well with him. On the contrary, Kofi said, “I am not a quitter, whenever things get bad with me, I dust myself up – pick up courage and move on. I never quit on myself, I never quit on my (New Day) friends and I don’t quit on the WWE Universe (The Spectators) …!!!  (Applause…)

ELECTIONS IN THE THIRD WORLD




 Politics is still being operated in the crudest manner in some third world countries till now. Basically, such countries remain under developed because leaders produced through such fraud- ridden systems always fail to perform up to the expected standard and also; they face a lot of reactionary/ resistant forces who use various anti-social/economic means to sabotage the developmental processes of such countries. Example of such cont-ravenous activities include assassinations, smuggling, insurgencies, to mention a few. 
         Generally, elections are not expected to be “Do-or-die” affairs as it is; but a noble opportunity to serve and make positive contributions to one’s father land. However, in countries where election processes are being shrouded in myriads of malpractices, it is quite obvious that the essence of holding an elective office is already misplaced. Many of such political office holders are known to accumulate overnight wealth with a lot of properties acquired both at home and abroad- all to the detriment of the hapless masses who voted for them with high hopes and great expectations!
           In a grim situation as mentioned above, the most effective way to correct the anomaly is to have a well trained and well oriented set of politicians whose mindsets have been defrayed from such ill-intentions as massive misuse of public assets. Rather, they should be able to view critically the available resources and engage the services of relevant experts in order to expand and upgrade such resources for the benefit of all citizens of the country.     
          One basic problem that requires urgent solution in such economies is lack of empowerment. The first aspect of such empowerment has to do with adequate power supply. Most of the citizens are usually willing to engage themselves in various viable small-scale activities if they have basic power supply. Activities such as tailoring, food processing and preservation, metal, plastic and wood-works, welding, electric spray-painting, electrical/electronic and Information/communication technology to mention a few; are prominent among petty commercial activities in which the masses engage themselves every day.
         The second part of such lack of empowerment is in the area of agriculture, where the practice is still in the primitive form. It is a highly profitable venture that can attract youths and ensure sufficient food production as well as having surplus for export. Leaders of such poor economies are usually blinded to the realities of the present-day strides in the profession. Farmers need basic training, equipment and support in the modern methods of mechanized farming… To be continued.

TECHNOLOGY: BLESSING OR OTHERWISE TO OUR WORLD…

          The world, I mean our world; is reeling in myriads of discomforts, intrigues and clueless vices bedeviling the human race. Ordinarily, life is expected to be far easier to live in; courtesy of the power of automation at the fingertips which makes it possible to accomplish tasks far easier than what it was in the past. Transportation is an example of the remarkable achievements which empowers man to move round the world within hours. Communication is another glaring example, where one is enabled to speak with another fellow anywhere in the world at any time. The examples could go on almost endlessly.
          However, there is the other side of the ‘coin’ which is giving mankind sleepless nights. Our world is presently riddled with the massive use of destructive devices like guns of various brands, explosives and the expertly organized crimes that include armed robbery, smuggling, assassinations, kidnappings, forgery, drug and currency syndicates, etc. The spate of insurgencies at various locations around the world cannot be overlooked. It is easy to see classifications been made concerning how safe it is to reside or not at various locations in different countries on earth.
        Even the high technologically powered social media which is gulping substantial part of many peoples’ daily activities has its vices glaringly. It is well known to have been (mis-) used and still being perpetrated in launching attacks on other people, especially in a bid to blackmail another party. On many occasions, naked pictures of an unsuspecting partner had been displayed flagrantly online. Some see the social media as an avenue to unleash vengeance in return for a wrong doing. Many people also use or misuse it as an avenue to perpetrate different criminal acts. It is common to see a male partner inviting the female counterpart to meet physically under the pretext of being in love. The result turned out to be that the female ended up being gang-raped and killed!
       It is yours and my choice to decide whether to make resourceful use or otherwise of the technological feats attained in the present day or remain on the other side of the divide. One thing is certain, and that is to say that if you choose to make good use of it, you will live good and if you choose the other way round, then expect the odd result to come and stare at you in the face. Remember both the long arms and the eagle eyes of the law. It is still true till today; the common saying that, “Life is what you make of it, be it good or…”

WWE: SETH ROLLIN’S ‘FAST LANE’ TO GREATNESS



  Recent developments in World Wrestling Entertainment, W W E showed how a popular wrestler by name Seth Rollins desired to make himself a legend instantly without minding how hard such road to greatness is supposed to be.
    Seth Rollins is the present W W E world heavy weight champion. He formerly belonged to a trio of fine, well co-ordinate wrestlers called ‘The Shield’. He opted out of the group after being enticed by the self proclaimed ‘Authority’, the controllers of the games so he may be used to promote their unpopular decisions in the day-to-day affairs of their operations.
        He wriggled his way to the top position in the organization (by becoming the World Heavy-weight Champion) through various questionable methods. The Controller of the games, Triple H who pairs with his wife to describe themselves as the “Authority” have been the brain behind Seth Rollins’ acclaimed ‘successes’  with the company.
        In order to make sure he always recorded victory, he had some ‘aides’ always standing by the ring side to assist him. One of them was the seven- footer, lanky fellow wrestler called ‘Kane’, who always represented the Authority. Also, there used to be a couple of moderate size boys called ‘J J security’. Ironically, an opponent always found himself fighting against four people instead of one, in a contest with Seth Rollins. For now, all the three aides have been dismantled effectively by another super wrestler called Brock Lesnar!
       The streak of ‘victories’ within few months got into Seth Rollin’s head that he demanded a statue be made for him by the Authority; to confirm him as a legend. Though he was aware that many people (among fellow wrestlers) were not happy about the development, he least expected anyone to boldly come forward to resist him being presented with the statue.
     At the point of being presented with it, he was resisted by a visitor to WWE by name ‘Sting’, who made away with the highly cherished object. He advised Seth to really work hard and earn such a statue genuinely and not overnight. Sting eventually tossed the statue into a moving refuse collection vehicle!
        The lesson here is that over-ambition may never bring about true success. In the first place, Seth Rollins had to betray his two other friends in an effort, as he put it; “To build a great future” for himself. Everyone needs to realize that greatness is not a short-term achievement, but something to be built gradually over time and with integrity.
     To be successful in online business, you need to be highly committed and resolute; be prepared to overcome challenges and to try again and again in case of failure at the first attempts. Success or greatness is real; but the road to get there is quite rough, tough and sometimes seems impossible. However, just one more effort may take you to the cherished position.

RISE ABOVE IGNORANCE, TODAY!



 The venue of the celebration, a large spacious hall was filled to capacity. The  chief celebrant stood up from the high table to come to the podium, and she was greeted with a resounding round of applause.  
      Madam Rose Mazinga, widow of late Chief Roland Mazinga; a wealthy industrialist of his time, was celebrating her 55th birthday. In attendance at the venue were friends and well wishers of Madam Rose, a highly respected philanthropist in the township. Therefore, apart from her relations and well wishers, there was a group of enthusiastic young men and women- students of various educational institutions; all of them beneficiaries of her philanthropy. They were also there to celebrate with her; with almost each one of them yearning for a space of a minute or two, to express their gratitude to her verbally.
      “I thank all of you for sparing some of your valuable time to be here today”, said Madam Rose as she cast a sweeping look at the audience from one side of the hall to the other side. Then she continued, “I thank God Almighty for keeping me alive today in spite of the huge obstacle on my way of survival. Unknown to many of you, I am one of a set of twin sisters; but I lost my partner fifty years ago.” The hall became cold and enveloped in utter silence; with tears welling up in the eyes of some of her young beneficiaries.
        “Five years after we were born, my twin sister was diagnosed of a heart condition, and with the residue of superstition still surrounding the birth of twins at that time, the general assumption was that the ‘gods’ were not in favor of the kids (being twins). Eventually, she passed away while most of the citizens in the locality expected that I too should follow suite very soon. True to their expectation, I too fell ill of the same ailment a year later. My father was said to be on a business trip abroad and my mother was faced with a situation in which she may remain childless for life because it took her almost twenty years after marriage to have us. This time, she was not prepared to lose me as it happened to my sister. She promptly asked for a referral note from the village clinic to the specialist hospital in the capital city.
          My father was contacted and he consented to the proposed heart surgery abroad”. Once again, she cast another slow, frank and appealing look at the now ‘frozen’ audience in the hall as she concluded, “I appreciate the gallantry of my late mother, who chose to rise above the ignorance that pervaded the locality and opted for an extra ordinary action to be taken to salvage the almost hopeless situation, thank you all once again, for coming.”

‘WEBFORTUNES’ IS…….GLOBAL!!!



You are welcome once again to the arena of ‘Webfortunes’, which, as usual; is meant for all and sundry- anytime and anywhere on the globe. It is quite interesting to realize that the web is a universal avenue that provides unlimited opportunity for whosoever cares to take the vital step that will bring the highly desirable change and improvement to his or her financial status.
    For those who are looking for goods and services to access online, it could come from any part of the globe; just as the buyer could as well be from any part of the planet earth. Soft-wares are being created for varying purposes every second each day of our life in order to cope with the insatiable need of improvement and upgrade of various online projects being created by man incessantly.
     I read about a woman by name Rose Hatley who spoke recently in a local web marketing seminar held in her country; she said, “I can tell you with all assurance that my success in online business could be attributed to various contributions of online experts from different parts of the world; mention it, there great internet marketing experts from Australia, China, South America, Africa, America, Canada, Japan or any other place in the world, I have benefitted from online marketing experts, website design experts and many others from different parts of the world…it’s a global phenomenon all the way!”   
       Contributing adequately to the situation are such resources as communication avenues using e-mail and a lot of social media that help to propagate whatever idea, concept or contribution you intend to promote to the wide world…it’s all quite thrilling and unimaginable, the impact of those valuable resources.
       Also worthy of mention is the universally accepted currency for online payment which is largely the American dollar; and some others like the Euro, the Pound Sterling, the Japanese Yen; etc but the dollar is most widely acceptable. There are also, various means of collection and making payment. To most online regular patrons, such terms as Web-money, Perfect-money, Alert-pay, E-go pay, Pay-pal; different credit cards, etc are the familiar means of online payment and receiving money.
       All you need to do is find out the type that may work for you best and consult the experts before choosing a certain method. Once you get used to the mode of operating whichever method you choose, you can continue with your online business pursuits without fear of any unexpected hitch.
     However, even though it is quite interesting and even thrilling to operate online business, it is also noteworthy to mention the fact that it is not usually quite rosy all the way; you need to be ware of online fraudsters who are extremely smart and deadly in their mode of operations. A lot of them pose as online business experts, Lawyers who are willing to ‘help’ stranded ones while some also pose as clergymen-online; you need to be extremely careful while striking a deal with any one online. All the same there are lots of web fortunes awaiting those who are willing to play the game according to the laid down rules..!
