The Rat Who Wanted to Eat the Sky ⸻ In the lowlands of Uvoko, where millet grew tall and fruit trees leaned with sweetness, lived a rat named Diga. He was small, fast, and full of wild ideas. But of all his dreams, one was the strangest: He wanted to eat the sky. “I will nibble the clouds,” he said. “I will chew the stars like maize.” “I will swallow the moon and save the sun for dessert.” The other animals laughed. “The sky is not food,” said the tortoise. “You barely reach the mango branch!” cackled the parrot. “Dream smaller,” sighed his cousin. But Diga didn’t care. He believed hunger wasn’t just for the stomach—it was for wonder. So he built. He gathered bamboo and vines, old calabash shells and woven baskets. He stacked and tied, climbed and fell, mended and rose. Soon, a towering pillar spiraled into the clouds, shaking with every breeze. The animals watched from below, jaws open. “He’s going to do it,” they whispered. “He’s going to bite the sky.” Diga climbed for days. He passed birds. Surprised bats. Even caught a glimpse of the moon, who blinked nervously. At last, he reached the top—and opened his mouth. But as he bit into the sky, something strange happened. It didn’t taste like anything. It didn’t break. It didn’t fear him. Instead, the sky whispered, “You have come far, but not for food.” Diga blinked. “Then… why did I come?” “To remember that some hungers are not for filling—but for feeling,” the sky answered. And in that moment, Diga understood. He didn’t want to eat the sky. He wanted to touch it. To know it. To believe he could reach something no one thought he could. He smiled, turned around, and began his descent. When he reached the ground, the animals waited. “Did you eat it?” they asked. “No,” he said. “I tasted something better.” “Like what?” “Like belief.” From that day on, Diga didn’t climb the sky. He taught others to dream instead. And whenever a young animal doubted themselves, they were told the tale of the rat who almost swallowed the heavens—but chose wonder instead. ⸻ 3 Moral Lessons: 1. Not all dreams are meant to be achieved—some are meant to stretch you. Diga’s climb wasn’t about conquering, but growing. 2. It’s okay to dream big, even if others laugh. Diga’s boldness inspired a forest that once mocked him. 3. What you seek may not be the answer—but the journey to it is. Diga’s hunger led him not to food, but to faith. ⸻

Pratik Joshi had been living in London for six years. A software professional, he’d long dreamed of building a life abroad for his wife and three young children, who stayed back in India. After years of waiting for due clearances the dream was finally coming true. Just two days ago, his wife, Dr. Komi Vyas, a renowned doctor in Udaipur, resigned from her job. The bags were packed, goodbyes said, the future within reach. This morning, the family of five, filled with hope and excitement, boarded Air India flight 171 to London. They clicked a selfie. Sent it to relatives. A one-way journey to a new life. But they never made it. The plane crashed. No one survived. In a matter of moments, a lifetime of dreams turned to ash. A brutal reminder, life is terrifyingly fragile. Everything you build, everything you hope for, everything you love, it all hangs by a thread. So while you can, live, love, and don’t wait for happiness to start tomorrow.

All of your dreams can come true if you have the courage to pursue them Walt Disney.

Tears for Africa In twilight's hush, where shadows play, A continent's cry echoes through the day, Africa's heartbeat, strong and free, Yet bound by chains of poverty. From Sahara's sands to Cape's green shore, A story unfolds, of struggle and more, Of nations rising, of dreams unfulfilled, Of potential waiting, yet unskilled. In cities bustling, where lights ablaze, A different tale of Africa's gaze, Of progress made, of hope anew, Yet whispers of despair, in every hue. The drums of tradition, beat strong and free, A heritage rich, of history, Yet modernity's tide, brings change and strife, A balance sought, between past and life. The tears fall hard, for all unseen, For futures bright, yet unclean, For opportunities, lost and rare, For potential squandered, beyond repair. But still we hold, on to hope's thin thread, A glimmer of a brighter future spread, Of leaders rising, with vision grand, Of people uniting, hand in hand. The African dream, of unity and might, A future shining, where all take flight, Where children learn, and grow with glee, Where women thrive, and equality, Where men and women, in peace entwine, And Africa's story, is one divine. The tears we shed, are not in vain, For in our sorrow, a change will reign, A new dawn breaks, with promise true, For Africa's future, anew. Let us stand tall, and claim our right, To shape our destiny, and shine with all our might, Let us unite, and work as one, To build a brighter future, for everyone. In Africa's heart, a fire burns bright, A flame of hope, that guides through the night, A beacon of light, that shines so bold, A symbol of strength, that never grows old. The tears for Africa, will dry with time, As progress made, and hope entwine, A brighter future, will soon unfold, For Africa's children, young and old.

There is nothing as discouraging as not getting appraisal or encouragement for your efforts to make something right. When you devote yourself to proffer solutions to certain problems or difficulties faced by people around you but get little or no recognition from it. Believe me, it is heartbreaking. I have been there too. This can make you give up on your dreams. It can make you shut the windows of your inspiration. It can terminate your vision. It can enslave you to low self-esteem and doubt. That which you can do will seem strange to you and becomes difficult to do. I understand. Your experiences so far have made you quit that which you do. But I bring you something different. Different from 'balablu'. RENEWAL! In every weakness, there lies strength. In disappointments, there you will find blessings. In loss, there is gain. In discouragement is encouragement. You can still write... You can still organize that program... You can still volunteer, again... You can still design... You can still speak, your voice is ok... All you need to do is START, that is the definition of renewal ~ strengthening that which is feeble...to revive! This word has the potency to re-ignite the already quenched fire in you, get up and walk! Look beyond appraisals and recommendations, in due time they will surface. Your audience misses you. Your generation awaits your return, patiently. Now is the appointed time, let's do more. FYI, we can do it together. I hope this helps. I am Erasmus Ibom

BIG SECRETS IN MARRIAGE! Secret 1 Everyone you marry has a weakness. Only God does not have a weakness. So if you focus on your spouse's weakness you can't get the best out of his strength. Secret 2 Everyone has a dark history. No one is an angel. When you get married or you want to get married stop digging into someone's past. What matters most is the present life of your partner. Old things have passed away. Forgive and forget. Focus on the present and the future. Secret 3 Every marriage has its own challenges. Marriage is not a bed of roses. Every good marriage has gone through its own test of blazing fire. True love proves in times of challenges. Fight for your marriage. Make up your mind to stay with your spouse in times of need. Remember the vow For better for worse. In sickness and in health be there. Secret 4 Every marriage has different levels of success. Don't compare your marriage with any one else. We can never be equal. Some will be far, some behind. To avoid marriage stresses, be patient, work hard and with time your marriage dreams shall come true. Secret 5 To get married is declaring war. When you get married you must declare war against enemies of marriage. Some enemies of marriage are: Ignorance Prayerlessness Unforgiveness Third party influence Stinginess Stubbornness Lack of love Rudeness Laziness Disrespect Cheating Be ready to fight to maintain your marriage zone. Secret 6 There is no perfect marriage. There is no ready made marriage. Marriage is hard work. Volunteer yourself to work daily on it. Marriage is like a car that needs proper maintenance and proper service. If this is not done it will break down somewhere exposing the owner to danger or some unhealthy circumstances. Let us not be careless about our marriages. Secret 7 God cannot give you a complete person you desire. He gives you the person in the form of raw materials.

"SHE GAVE YOU HER BODY, BUT TOOK YOUR DESTINY" – When sex is a transaction, the man always loses more. There are two types of men in this world: those who build their future and those who trade it away for temporary pleasure. Many men don’t even realize when they’ve been robbed, not of their money, but of their potential. She didn’t hold a gun to your head. She didn’t break into your house at night. But she walked away with your focus, your ambition, your discipline, and your financial future. And the worst part? You willingly handed it over. This is the silent robbery happening every day. Men think they are enjoying, but they are being emptied. BRUTAL THREAD: How Se-x Can Steal Your Future 1. THE COST OF FREE SE-X IS YOUR AMBITION You met a fine girl. She gave you her body for free. No stress, no commitment, just pure enjoyment. You thought you hit the jackpot? No, you entered the trap. Each time you’re with her, you’re spending hours, days, and nights chasing pleasure instead of chasing progress. You wake up late, you miss opportunities, your mind is distracted. You thought you were enjoying her body, but she was taking your focus, your time, and your hunger for success. 2. EVERY TIME YOU SLEEP WITH HER, YOU LOSE ENERGY—SHE GAINS IT There’s a reason great warriors, boxers, and kings of old practiced sexual discipline. They knew that their energy, clarity, and strength came from controlling their desires. When you release carelessly, you are losing more than just fluid. You are losing drive, willpower, and aggression—all the things you need to dominate in life. Now, check her: she is glowing, she is energized, she is more powerful. You are weaker. Why do you think they say "behind every successful man is a woman"? Because she collects his energy and multiplies it. But what happens when she takes your energy and leaves? She goes to multiply it elsewhere. 3. SHE TOOK YOUR MONEY, BUT YOU THOUGHT IT WAS LØVE At first, it was just small-small money—transport fare, lunch money, a little shopping. Then it became rent, hair, nails, and urgent 2K every week. You thought you were investing in her? No, you were funding your own downfall. She took your hard-earned money, but did she invest it back into you? No. She used it to look good for another man who had more focus than you. 4. SHE WASTED YOUR YEARS, NOW SHE'S GONE How many men have given their prime years to a woman who had no plans of staying? She took your time, your energy, your youth… then she moved on to the next best option. Now, you’re in your 30s or 40s, starting over while she has already secured her next destination. Reality check: A woman’s time is shorter, but a man’s wasted time is costlier. 5. YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS LOYAL, BUT YOU WERE JUST A PHASE Some women are seasonal lovers—they attach themselves to a man for a period, take what they need, then move on. You thought she was forever. She knew she was temporary. You were just a “right now” guy. And when she found a "forever" guy, she walked away without looking back. 6. YOUR FUTURE IS MORE VALUABLE THAN HER BODY Many men have traded their destiny for a few minutes of pleasure. Ask Samson. He had superhuman strength. Delilah used love and sex to take it away. Ask Solomon. The wisest king in history lost his throne because of vvomen. Even great men fall when they don’t control their desires. Now, look at yourself. What have you lost so far? 7. WAKE UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE If you keep trading your time, energy, money, and focus for sex, you will wake up one day and realize: The men you started life with are now ahead of you. Your bank account is empty. Your dreams never happened. And the women who wasted your years are now with better men. BOTTOM LINE: Sex is not free. It is always a transaction. Either you gain something from it, or you lose everything to it. Choose wisely. If this post hits you, you know what to do. #everyoneシ゚

This doctor and his family were relocating from India to London for a new life. This was the last family selfie they took inside the plane before the crash. So painful! None of them made it out alive. All their dreams and aspirations went down to ashes. May their souls rest in peace Amen 😔
