  WHEN LIFE HAPPENS Part 1: THE CONSTANT In the equation of life, change remains a constant; a fixed value that’s never altered by the alternating variables around it. In fact, all variables dance to the tune of the constant in any equation they find themselves. Irrespective of the length of the equation, no matter how long it takes to get the equation solved, the constant remains unmoved. Every equation is a process targeted towards achieving a desired result, it’s either you cooperate with the constant to attain the desired result, or you sideline the constant and ditch your desired result. The desired result can never be attained without cooperating with the constant of the equation, and such is life. Life is an equation, a process driving towards a result. However, life has a constant in its equation and that constant is called “Change.” Change is no respecter of status, it doesn’t care if you’re wealthy or not, it has no gender preference, it pays no attention to your height, ...

  2018 was the year it all began, just a few months after I graduated from university. I had joined a WhatsApp group named “Singles & Married,” and was always thrilled by the series of short stories shared on the platform. As I read through the stories, I felt a nudge deep within me, beckoning from the abyss of my soul, whispering, “You can also write engaging and thrilling stories.” Back in primary school, I had written several short children’s stories which I compiled into a storybook. That was the plan, but it didn’t work...

SOME QUOTES BY JS HAVILAH v    Life is in stages; each stage comes with a challenge. It’s either you overcome it, or it overcomes you. The choice resides within you. v    Your decisions are hands typing the script of your life. v    Life is a journey with different routes. The one you take determines the hustle and bustle you face. v    Your tongue is powerful, it can calm a stormy heart, but note that it can also stab a man and leave him bleeding. v   Life is a script. Your decisions are cursives of your destination. v Commitment is the fuel that helps you ascend the staircase of success. v Without love, the world will dive into extinction.  

No child journeys into the world as an empty vessel. Deep within every man lies a voice craving expression, a voice resonating from within the core of their being. A voice some have yielded to, a voice some have shut down and left dormant. A voice screaming, yet unheard. For some, that voice had been stabbed and left bleeding. For some, it’s a voice that has remained undiscovered, a voice untapped. Yes, there are many voices, but there is a voice of gift, a voice of talent. Circumstances of a child can be both internal and external, however, some internal circumstances are products of the external. The voice of gift and talent is not an external voice, it is a voice that flows from within, and oftentimes it can be ignited by the external. GIFT: This refers to various things, it can be a physical object transferred voluntarily from one person to another, it can also be an act of kindness. However, the gift referred to in this article is a God-given special ability, an endowment, an outs...
