#THE STORY OF MY LIFE. (season 1)

Throughout my life, l have seen narrow-shouldered men, without a single exception, committing innumerable stupid acts, brutalizing their fellows and perverting souls by all means. They call the motive for their actions fame.

Been a man in my country, is not an easy way to grow especially when you are from the low class in the community were you work trough thorns just to be have a better feature.

Life is short, art long, opportunity fleeting, experience treacherous, judgment difficult. But my son be strong and wise to counter any problems that comes your way in the future. I shall be well with you when you keep your hands clean.

That was my father's last word to me before he gave up the ghost at the age of seventeen (17), when I needed him the most.

I grew up having a friend intact a best friend who's father gave me all the advice I needed from my father at that age.

My best friend's father told me something the first time I came to their house after my father was no more.
He said,
CHANGE IS NOT MERELY NECESSARY TO LIFE, IT IS LIFE.
AS ONE GOES THROUGH LIFE, ONE LEARNS THAT IF YOU DON'T PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE, YOU DON'T MOVE.
THE TRUE MEANING OF LIFE IS TO PLANT TREES, UNDER WHOSE SHADE YOU DO NOT EXPECT.

That was his elderly speech he told me to keep those quotes at the back of my mind as I go through this world without a father to constantly advice me.

The story of my life (season 1) ends here.
So watch out for the season 2 my next post.
