ARE WE WHAT WE WEAR?
We have all heard the famous quote, "You are what you eat." So now I am pausing the question, are we what we wear? Is your answer yes or no? It's totally up to you. However, allow me to help you dig for the ultimate answer to this tricky question.
Let's take the president as our example today. What If on Monday he starts off with a dashing suit. Tuesday he steps out with a pair of neat skinny jeans and a splitting white t-shirt. Come Wednesday, the President decides to groom his important self with a pair of shorts with an eye blinding colour, plain black rubber shoes and a baggy shirt with some writings engraved on it.
Keep in mind that those around him already began to whisper strange things due to his lack of dress ettiquette. What do you think I am trying to drive home? Even if he walked out in a shabby skirt today or topless, his intelligence, persona, and his position as head of state has not changed even an inch. We are not what we wear. Sure, I understand that image shows people about one's character, religion, attitude, fashion sense and a lot more.
Our clothes may make us look dazzling, approachable, hide who we really are on the inside and fashionable. However, there's one thing our clothes will never do for us. Not even as a favor. The clothes we love so dearly will never portray who we are. They will never speak for us and they most definitely won't tell our stories on our behalf. Unless they had mouths, which we all agree is far from possible.
So, don't let your clothes be your mask. Just be you and help yourself be you by allowing your clothes to be a part of you instead of making them be someone you are not. You can dress like a ship captain, a mad man/woman, slut, fashionista, but at the end of the day, you may have fooled the world, but you can never fool yourself. Be happy with who and what you are :)

THE AWESOMEST AFRICAN LEGEND - MADIBA NELSON MANDELA:)
Do you know what day tomorrow is? I know you just silently mumbled under your breaths that it's Thursday! Well...yes it's Thursday. But it's going to be a special Thursday in the History of Thursday's in 2013 until the end of time.
What I'm I talking about? I'm talking about everyone taking their time off their bust schedules to pledge 67 minutes to the Honorable Nelson Mandela. Tomorrow is the official day to do something thoughtful in regards to the greatest African legend that has come so far in torture and suffering and yet managed to inspire millions of people globally.
Nelson Mandela impacted my life through education and perseverance. His patience was incomparable to any other. You Sir, are a great admiration to all.
How has Nelson Mandela inspired you?

SEX + HANDCUFFS!!!
I know where I am going with this...go on...don't be shy :)
Even this monkey had to stop what it was doing due to curiosity to read what comes after the SEX +HANDCUFFS!!!OK OK OK people. Quick Question? What's the first thing that pops up in our minds when we hear the word handcuffs?
I know where I am going with this...go on...don't be shy :)
Quitting? It's allowed! Here's why.
You can't write about others, without being honest about yourself. You are reading an article written by the newest job quitter in the world.
Not that I'm completely ignoring the fact that I know there are plenty of people who have left their jobs due to one reason or another.
What's my reason of quitting you ask? Well...one word. EDUCATION!
At the age of 22 I have had 2 jobs. I loved the feeling of responsibility and the fact that something couldn't flow smoothly without my skills. It was great...fantastic I tell you. However, my former current job has a lot at stake. In the beginning, it was all flowery and pleasant. But as days, weeks and months passed by, everything fell like a burden.
Education was what opened my eyes. I am a part-time university student at a local university in Kenya. Classes begin at 5:00pm and end as late as 9:00pm. Don't get me wrong, I was so proud of balancing work and education...might I mention the money? Hehehehe It was lovely. But as much as everything was rosy and glossy, my education was at risk.
There are no words elephant enough to describe how passionate I am about education and my career. That's when I realized I had to drop something so that my life can still continue to make sense. I quit my job so that I could concentrate on my education.
Of course I feel slightly empty without my job, but I can tell you It's worth it. This is how Nelson Mandela surges into my life. He was compassionate about education and a good writer. At least we have one thing in common. Complete respect and admiration goes out to you Hon Madiba.
How many of you have quit something that was important to you and how did it affect or impact your life?
I and many others would love to hear from you. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/trending-now/
