Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future. — John F. Kennedy, Former President of the United States
When we are kids, we dream of going to schools.
Once we are in school, we wish to be in college.
After joining college, all you need is to get a job.
Its only once you start earning, you will miss your childhood days.
When you had zero responsibilities and tensions.
So enjoy your days the best ways possible.
27th of may huh
Remember those days when life was easy? On this day 15 years ago or 20 years ago or even 40years (depending your age), you probably woke up to a nice meal with plans to go for a party somewhere with other kids. So many sugar based drinks, food, bouncing castles, "jangilova epo moto" 😂. Children's day used to be a day when I could take as much sugar as I wanted, these days I have to be careful of sugar intake lest... never mind about that.
Hold on a minute. Do you remember when as a boy your greatest concern was your ball under the car? Or as a girl, your deepest fear was losing one of your doll’s legs or a “pot” in your cookery set? When 2+2=4 seemed like the key to all of life’s problems, and the ten times table was recited the loudest. We all wanted to finish our education and live happily ever after like cinderella. SCAM.
Life was devoid of worries, anxiety and so much rush of ideas to survive. We had people to think about those for us. Back then.
How time flies...
I woke up this morning very hungry, but then again thinking of what to eat still seemed like it was the least important of my many thoughts. Life got tougher once adulthood came around. We left all that childhood innocence behind to be fully immersed in the hustle and bustle of this crazy world.
These days it really is just all about the responsibilities which have automatically been placed on my head as a result of the age I have attained.
As a yoruba man, talk about one very heavy "bukata"🤣
I have to pay for this, pay for that, struggle to save to ensure that there is a quality life ahead for little Fi and his sibling(s) when they eventually come. Lol.
Life has gone from been only interested in movies and animes showing on the TV and keeping up with the latest toys, to getting really concerned about world events, news and politics. Did I mature? I actually grew up? Wow.
CHILDREN'S DAY used to be fun. It used to be our day. But of course it stopped being a thing for a lot of us years ago. Can we all come together and agree that adulthood is life's biggest sham?
P.S remember to donate to a child in need today.
I wish all the children of this world to be good and tell them immense love from my heart
We don't even realise when we grow, and one-day reality hits hard, and it's time to pull up our socks and start working to pay the bills. There's just one way to avoid this. Attain financial freedom and spend the rest of your life like a kid roaming around the world having surreal experiences.
But you been able to attain the financial freedom is the big deal.
Many spend most of lives trying to attain this freedom!
It's the lack of education because of which people spend their lives trying to attain freedom. Since childhood, we are programmed to fear everything and we are wired differently. The primary education gives us knowledge and not the actual learnings which are required to deal with the real-life challenges. That's where people lack and spend their entire life in the name of security which is just a myth.
