ANSA… for the love of writing
One of my father's proverbs says,
"Ẹni tí a ngbé ìyàwó bo wa bá,
Doesn't look forward with all eagerness."
Don't let that be your strain,
Work towards it, and aim towards success,
Because the best is yet to come.
The past might be filled with constant wailing,
And the present might look so gloomy,
Don't hesitate and relent,
Tori òrùn to wa loke to asọ gbé,
Don't relent! Look towards the light at the end of the tunnel,
Because the best is yet to come.
YOU CAN BE MORE JOYOUS
Our goals are like a targeted prey, we pounce on every steps that lead to them, just to get them into our hands. While achieving one aim, man will always crave for another. For, human wants can never be satisfied.
I am a lass, whose dream is larger than the bed she lays on. I wish for good, but when I get it in a better way I still want the best, because I believe the best is yet to come. This is how you should be as one who seeks for success, while celebrating your little achievement, know that you can still be more joyous.
