Life is flying by as a cloud disperses and vanishes;life is here & shall surely go away forever. Days on earth are as transient as shadows, life is like a shadow that appears only for a while, it is like dusk that fades away; it blossoms for a moment like a flower and withers.As we all breeze through life ,do we derive joy   from earthly things that  are temporary,so why put our energy on things dt are not everlasting & look up to  heavenly tins which will give us ETERNAL LIFE. Our foot paths as a traveller on earth, are we working  towards ETERNAL GLORY or  ETERNAL AGONY. Our quest as we journey through earth will it lead towards ETERNAL BLISS or ETERNAL TORMENTS. Are we working towards ETERNAL LIFE. Lord,give me d grace not to rest on my oars in ths christian race.Am I seeking YOUR kingdom first in everything .I do,are all my actions edifying U. Let us strip off & throw aside every unnecessary weight & dt sin which so readily and cleverly clings to and entangles and let us run wt patient endurance and steady active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set b4 us"(Hebrews 12:1)..

 “Sir, you wanted to see me,” Lisa asked, knocking on the slightly open door and poking her head into the HR’s office. Why didn’t you put in your application?,” the HR manager said, gesturing Lisa to the empty seat in front of him. “Sir, me?” Lisa asked, walking in, sitting on the chair and bending her head shyly. “Yes you,” the HR manager said, “That spot was an easy grab for you! I’m not supposed to say this but I nearly tossed everyone else’s application in the trash. Why do you think I kept extending the deadline?” “The board of directors asked you to?” she volunteered, looking up at him. “No!” he cried, “I was waiting for you to submit your application!” “Oh,” she said, bending her head briefly and then looking up at him again. “Look, Lisa, this is the second time you’re passing up an opportunity and I don’t think it’s great,” he said. “When… when… was the first time sir?” she asked, picking her words slowly like they terrified her. “Lisa! Are you kidding me right now...

Melissa (A short story)

By -
 Growing up, Melissa was different from the rest of us. While other girls wanted to play house and build sandcastles, she memorized the current affairs and listened to the news. In primary school, she would argue with the boys in our class and take part in debates. Luckily, our school was gender-inclusive and so they let her be class captain because of how smart she was. At the end of every school year, she was always the leader of the year. No one cared about our welfare like she did. Melissa was always ready to fight for our rights. She always put others first. She loved to serve and never saw leadership as a tool for oppressing her peers.    In secondary school, her light shone brighter. Everyone knew what she stood for and she knew how to make her voice heard. We all admired her courage and outspokenness. Slowly, she was blossoming into a strong woman. Sometimes, I feared that she was too aggressive in her opinions. I also feared that she was unlike any lady I knew fo...

The Power of Equal Representation

By -
THE POWER OF EQUAL REPRESENTATION Imagine attending a meeting with another firm only to discover all the representatives of such a firm are males. As a 21st-century human, it should get you thinking: "Is it that they don't have women in this organization?" I have had a series of discussions with people regarding this and many people say that of course they would love more women on board but not at the detriment of competence. I understand correctly. I always reply that I am not a fan of incompetence or mediocrity. Still, I have observed that many times, people organize programs without female speakers or facilitators. It makes one wonder if there are no competent females in the whole of that city to handle those topics. I firmly believe that competence is vital. But I feel that, sometimes, many of us assume that men would be more competent by default. Hence, we fail to consider checking if there are females who are better suited for a particular role. That is a huge pro...
