UBUNTU is a very nice story from Africa. The motivation behind Ubuntu culture started when an anthropologist proposed a game to the African tribal children.  He placed a basket of sweets near a tree and made the children stand 100metres away. Then, he announced that whoever reaches where the sweets are kept first would get all the sweets in the basket. When he said 'ready, steady go!'....... Do you know what the children did?

I was thinking about how life has delt with me, the pressures I've passed through, opportunities I missed, how things got messed up with me and I almost forgot there's something called hope. In the process, I got a shared quote for the focus of this article. I thought about my failures and felt almost ashamed of my past that was questionable, laughable and ofcause sweet able. Upon these thoughts there was hope of glory. Different questions sprang up. Why all these? Most funny enough, these were adversities that seems difficult but triumph able.

Osheku Again, I thought and asked another series of questions. Why don't I think of the days I succeeded? Why don't I think of the days I passed my trials? Each day of these happenstances came different...
