Originality Is The Real Perfection



You are a painter, so you see a painting and you think it's better than yours, so you trash yours.
You are a poet, so you read a poem and you think it's better than yours, so you trash yours.
You are a writer, so you read a story and you think you could have done better, so you trash yours.
You are a designer, so you see a dress and you think it's finer than yours, so you trash yours.
You are a friend, so you get a gift for a love one and someone else buys something different and you think it's better than yours, so you trash yours.
You are a child, you have a toy but you see your friend with another and you think it's more cool, so you trash yours.
You are a lady, so you see another woman's partner and you think he's more successful and handsome than yours, so you trash yours.
You are a husband, so you see another man's wife and you think yours is ugly, so you become trash.


The list goes on and on and on until...

You meet someone and you feel they are better than you, but you don't trash yourself, instead you work on yourself until you upgrade.

In our quest to be better than the next person we fail to understand that we are and will remain undefeated in our uniqueness, if only we will quit seeing life as a competition but a marathon and stop seeking perfection and instead find satisfaction from within.

Let's love and appreciate our unique way of doing things because at the end, perfection is competition but originality is satisfaction.

Originality is the real perfection.

I am not afraid of the storm Facing it alone isn't something I would lose sleep over But I want to conquer with you Set anarchy to never after Bring liberty to forever more Alone we are survivors, caging the fiercest waves Swimming the deepest seas But, hand in hand we would drown the ocean You and I, we would drink the rivers dry And spit out islands Kingdavid Chinaeke Ofunne Authorpreneur

Solomon's Lair!

Rated 18 Solomon's lair  I almost refused to go for the birthday party this year. Solomon always hosted a party every year, and as usual, I always gave the opening speech and acted as the MC too. I hated the drama and fake smiles all around. Each year, new faces present, old faces absent. New Friends present, Old friends lost, only me stagnant. I was always present as the best friend, the loyal soldier, meanwhile I was notoriously known for not celebrating my own birthday. It was so bad that most of my friends didn't even know my date of birth, just my age. Yes, it was that bad! It was an exhausting exercise for me. The cake and speeches, by God I hated the hypocrisy. So this year I swore to him by the old gods and new, that I wasn't gonna be in the spotlight of his special day. I just wanted to drink and chill quietly in solitude. Surprisingly, without any fuss, he obliged me. ''Obi is now a man o'' I smiled. ...

I hate my Job

Warning: Strong adult content 18+ I hate my job My boss, Miss Patricia, is a tyrant 40+, beautiful angelic face and even more perfect body, with a lovely smile, that she hardly uses, single mom of two beautiful teenage girls, whose pictures are hung everywhere in our offices. While her exterior is sweet and beautiful, her interior is dark and evil. Always barking orders at the rest of us, like children, her voice is so loud you wonder where she has the energy to scream in such a high note all the damn time She is so feared, her car horn is enough to immediately drown whatever noise or laughter is coming from the entire building The popular saying among us, her staff members, is that the fear of Patricia's horn is the beginning of wisdom I spent years searching for a job in the streets of Lagos, begging even, embarrassed by security men and spat at by lousy and saucy receptionists, to quit this one just like that. We die here! I was prepared to eat shit for as long as I could, so I ...
