The Simple Things..

I have to say, The Human race is by far the most stupid of all creatures I have the privilege of knowing.
What I have always believed and considered common sense to my uttermost surprise is not common.
For some funny reason, I have a feeling of all humanity still not ever having the intelligence of just one ant.
I am African, and I have seen places outside of my country and continent stumbled across stories and art forms that speaks volumes to what the human race is capable of and what we have become.
And I have come to a very light and simple yet difficult to swallow conclusion that ' The humans that lived before the 20th Century posses a higher level of intelligence and creativity.
People are now dumber and less creative than those before us and the scariest thing is how much that gap will keep on widening until the end of the world.
Life is simple in its self. The decisions and actions we take are what sets the degree or level of difficulty that we tend to face in our day to day ordeals.
I have stumbled on stories and individuals who decided and chose to make an impact in certain areas and succeeded greatly. One of such is Albert Einstein. Another is Abraham Lincoln and the list goes on.
But it is amazing how we wake up today to find in this world the most useless of beings with their nonchalant attitudes and stuck up mentality that chose to be useless and dumb.As a Man of Faith, my religion clearly makes something clear to me, 'what ever you desire you will get it but only if you have faith and work in accordance to that faith'.
Today, similarity is preached and promoted and almost every one if not all wants to like someone else.
Just because an elite few made it in a way, does not mean you can make it the same way as well.
we all have a unique DNA, IRIS, Finger Print and Voice for a reason. We are made to be unique and not similar. I have seen great minds reduced to mere slaves and great destinies truncated by lesser minds or the desire to be someone else. The most dangerous teaching and legacy passed down today is that of holding similarity in high esteem over differences and accommodate comfort over hard-work.
The Simple truth?
If we ever want to have the best of this life, we have to go back to the simple things in Life.
Smile, it takes nothing from you.
Be friendly, makes the world an easier place to live.
Always have your eyes on something, that way you always have something to live for.
Your Happiness should be tied to others not just yourself. That way you are relevant.
Every moment should be a capturing moment, to be cherished and remembered for good.
Learn from your mistakes but don't change who you are for anybody.
Make every moment count, for you might never have them again.
Always say what you mean, and mean what you say.

Now, ask yourself how sincere you are to yourself, then improve on it.
