18XX – Part 5
Many strange things happen in our school. Little did we know that Sharon, a pupil recently admitted into the school, was sent to uncover these mysteries. She was unusually bright for her age and had gained entrance into the school using a fake identity. Unknown to whatever secret agent behind Sharon, our school had specially…

Patience
A farmer has a cutlass in hand, before him stretches of grass to be mowed. The heat from the sun is enervating, yet he pays no attention. He pays no attention, to his aching back and waist. He is not discouraged by the little work done so far as against the vast unfinished job ahead.…

True Heroes
You will never be prepared enough to take on any new task. Close your eyes. Move. The heat will ripen you. You are a true hero if with nothing as capital to start up your life, you can lend the perseverance in your empty pocket to one defeat after another till your name becomes a…

Seasons
You are like a tree. If you keep moving from one job to another, from one church to another, from one country to another, from one relationship to another or switching businesses every now and then, you won’t give yourself the opportunity to grow. Give everything a chance. Give that relationship a chance. Give that…

18XX – Part 3
It was time for our first lesson. And as the teacher motioned for the board to be cleaned, I starred at him, wondering what could have brought him all the way from the south to the far north here with its harsh weather conditions. The south of the country was bustling with economic activities and…

Play to be remembered
Pay attention to the things that fascinate you. Pay attention to the things that greatly inspire you. Pay attention to the things you find mentally-stimulating and thought-provoking. Be curious to find out things for yourself. For every truth out there, we’ve all got to write our own versions and live our interpretations of them. Never…

18XX – Part 2
Whiles trying to take off my bag before occupying my seat beside the class window, I spot an intriguing figure roaming in the woods in the distance. Adrian, seated behind me, tugged incessantly at my shirt. He wanted to show me something hidden in his bag that he had smuggled to school. Suddenly, an open…
