Murphy's Law

Image
You're sitting in eight lanes of bumper-to-bumper traffic. You're more than ready to get home, but you notice, to your great dismay, that all of the other lanes seem to be moving. You change lanes. But once you do, the cars in your new lane come to a dead halt. At a standstill, you notice every lane on the highway (including the one you just left) is moving -- except yours. Welcome to the aggravating world of Murphy's Law. This  idiom  says that whatever can go wrong will go wrong. And it may just be right. This isn't because of some mysterious power the law possesses. In reality, it's us who give Murphy's Law relevance. When life goes well, little is made of it. After all, we expect that things should work out in our favor. But when things go badly, we look for reasons.

Kofi Annan, Who Redefined the U.N., Dies at 80

Image
Kofi Annan, the soft-spoken and patrician diplomat from Ghana who became the seventh secretary general of the United Nations, projecting himself and his organization as the world’s conscience and moral arbiter despite bloody debacles that stained his record as a peacekeeper, died on Saturday in Bern, Switzerland. He was 80. His death, at a hospital there, was confirmed by his family in a statement released by the Kofi Annan Foundation, which is based in Switzerland. It said he died after a short illness but did not specify the cause. Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001, Mr. Annan was the first black African to head the United Nations, doing so for two successive five-year terms beginning in 1997 — a decade of turmoil that challenged that sprawling body and redefined its place in a changing world. On his watch as what the Nobel committee called Africa’s foremost diplomat, Al Qaeda struck New York and Washington, the United States invaded Iraq, and Western policymakers...

Blaxit:African Americans Moving To Africa

Image
Blaxit:African Americans Moving To Africa Blaxit: 5,000 US Blacks Have Moved to Ghana Up to 5,000 US blacks have moved back to Ghana—and thousands more to other African states—over the past few years as part of a growing movement to live in a society in which they say they will be able to live in a world “in which black people are in charge.” The slowly growing “return to Africa” movement was highlighted in a recent article on the Al Jazeera news service, titled “Why some African Americans are moving to Africa.” The article—which, of course, blames white people for all of the ills affecting blacks—revolves around an interview with Muhammida el-Muhajir, a digital marketer from New York City, who left her job to move to Accra, the capital of Ghana.

Don't Allow Yourself To Be Controlled by These 5 Things

Common excuses and how to defeat it in

Image
Mind control is the result of self-discipline and habit.  You either control your mind or it controls you.  There is no half-way compromise.  The most practical of all methods for controlling your mind is the habit of keeping it busy with definite purpose, backed by a definite plan. Study the record of any man who achieves noteworthy success, and you will observe that he has control over his own min, moreover, that he exercises that control and directs it toward that attainment of definite purposes.  Without control, success is not possible. common excuses IF I didn’t have a wife and family… IF  I had enough “pull” … IF I  had money … IF I had a good education … IF I could get a job … IF I had good health … IF I only had time … IF times were better … IF other people understood me … IF  conditions around me were only different … IF I could live my life over again … IF I did not fear what “they” would say … IF I had been give...

Money Talks – What’s Yours Saying?

Image
I am often reminded of that little joke we hear around the festive season – “it’s all fun and games, until your jeans don’t fit anymore.” It’s a similar thing with money – it’s great to spend and enjoy life until reality hits and we reach a level of financial discomfort – perhaps too much debt, an inability to save, or just concerned that we are buying stuff all the time, most of which we don’t need. Our money talks to us in many different ways and we all hear what we want to hear. Truth is that everyone has different money personalities, ranging from the frugal amongst us who save every cent for tomorrow, to those that believe that the universe will provide, and today is for living, so we spend as it comes in. In between these two extremes is a range of personalities, formed through our childhood and various other factors in society. But another truth is that money is finite. We only make so much and most of us have to work to earn it. The trust fund babies amongst us can sto...

"He who opens a school door, closes a prison"

Yes this famous saying from Victor Hugo, shows how much education can be important in the life of any human being. Indeed girls and boys who learn to read, write and count will provide a better future for themselves, their families and their countries. Education, can positively affect so many different areas of life. In short, education has the power to make the world a better place. The first time we are introduced to formal education is in school. The school years are the grounding years of one’s education, laying the foundation of a child’s development and transforming children into responsible citizens and good human beings. Iran has long been host to the second largest refugee population in the world with a brilliant history of providing access to education to its refugees just like what it provides to its own national citizens. And UNHCR Iran – in collaboration with its various partners, namely the Ministry of Education & the Bureau for Aliens and Foreign Immigrants Af...
