When I was kid, I loved my parents a lot. I didn't care what was going on around me. Their presence alone gave me all the joy and protection I needed. 


Each time they came to pick me in school, I would always walk happily to them because I'm sure of Ice cream and puff-puff plus the fact that I have someone to share all the crazy and funny things that happened in class that day with. 


But after highschool, I started seeing them differently. I noticed most of their clothes were looking faded and sometimes torn. I'm usually ashamed each time I'm seen with them 

(when they are not dressed for a function)


Their gist are of the old, so I get uncomfortable each time they try to bring in a joke or contribution to the conversation I'm having with my friends. 


And also they can hardly construct a good English sentence and it makes me shy and uncomfortable when we are outside or hanging out in the open.

Did I actually forget how I was attracted to them when I was little because of their heart and not their wears? 


How come I despise walking confidently with them today, I thought I did brag in primary school when they visited?


Now in the University, the only time I even call them is when I need money. 


Wait, what happened to me? 

How did I grow to become this way? 


I'm sure their love for me didn't allow them notice all this attitude, but deep down my heart I feel guilty. 


Mom and Dad, I love you all...

If this is you, please endeavor to send your parents a text today or call if you still can.


Appreciate them for their love and how they still manage to send you funds in school despite how hard the economy is.


NB: You won't have much time to do this again, soon you will be too busy with work and the only time you will have will be Christmas and Easter breaks, which you might prefer to spend with your spouse and kids... 


Don't procrastinate!


Send them a text of Appreciation right away!


Your text can make them face today with so much joy.

  THIS IS WHY YOU ARE NOT GETTING OPPORTUNITIES  Written By Edirin Edewor It is not your village people. Your environment determines the kind of opportunities you will get, and to the degree in which you will get these opportunities. Your environment doesn't have to only be your physical geography. It could be the people you hang out with or the kind of experiences you immerse yourself in.  There are certain opportunities you can never get unless you're in a particular city, state or country.  There are certain opportunities you will not be able to take advantage of if you don't have a passport or a valid visa.  There are certain opportunities you will have to turn down because your business isn't yet registered and/or you don't have a corporate account.  There are jobs you will not be able to take on because you have refused to open a Domiciliary account.  There are conversations you will never be able to be a part of because you are not physically present in the r
