Hello my fellow stemians how is your day going, i hope you all are enjoying it a lot, and also how is blogging going, i know all is going smoothly well as we all has always wished and planned in our life, so let all Glory be returned to thy lord for all always helping us to blog and always have a nice day.

Wow is another time we share our different ideas on this very community in this very platform always known as steemit platform, we share our different ideas on this very topic and also at same time trying to keep the rules of steemit which one of it is avoiding plagiarism on our post and secondly trying to bring up quality post on this very platform known as steemit platform.
Now i will like to rush to the very topic which we have at hand this very moment and same period of time.

Ques 1: Which book have made a major impact in your life

Well since of my life i have been seeing and have also read so many book which sounds to be a good story and also was very sweet and enjoyable while reading, but i also have come across one book that almost taught me a lot of things, thou they novel was an Igbo novel, but since am a little good at reading Igbo, I managed and read that book, but to say the truth I have been running away and also neglecting Igbo novels but since i tried that very book I understand that the proverb which says never judge a book by its cover and secondly before i read novels i always check the cover picture anyone that the cover photo is not like too attractive i will just keep it and start looking for another but that one is the topic for another day.

So base on the book which i have read that has made a great impact in me was one Igbo novel like i said before which i read and same time thought me a lot of things, the novel was like in form of a story of a king thou it was like a folk tale, so the king married to so many wives and he was looking for a male child, so he went to a native doctor in their home town to ask him what he can do to have a male child, so the man told him so many things which he will do and at same time gave the king a palm cola that when the king reach home that he should give it to all his wives to cook and eat it and that anyone that eats the kola will conceive so due to the hatred the king have for his first wife he didn't give her to cook and lick her own palm cola fruit so the second wife threw out one of the palm cola fruit that is not good so a lizard took the cola and take it to the first wife which she hate a lot and the woman managed and lick it, but i will like to make the story brief, so at last after all the women the king married that all licked the palm cola gave birth to a baby girl but the one which she did not give but managed to lick the one that is not much good gave birth to a baby boy and the king regretted why he maltreated his first wife and made all his wives to hate the first wife too, so from that day he begged for forgiveness and start loving everyone equally.

So that taught me a lot of things like loving everyone equally is very good and also practicing discrimination is not good, maybe who you think and valued a lot that can do something for you may fail your hands and the one you hate and discriminate maybe the one to do it for you.
Now i will like to stop here and move over to the next question.

How did you come across the book? Ques 2.

Okay I came across the book when i was idle and was looking for something to keep myself busy and what came into my mind was to read.
So i start looking for book which i will read in my book shelf but unfortunately it was the first book i saw on my sisters shelf since i didn't see anyone in my own shelf, so she said i should read the novel that i will learn a lot from it then that time i told him that i don't like to spend my time reading Igbo novels, so she go on and encouraged me which made me to try and read the book, but now i must confess that i didn't regret reading that book and since that time i have always like to spend my time reading Igbo and also English novels at all times cause a proverb says that an idle mind is a devils workshop which i believed is true.
And now i always try and search for books to read with my phone cause i didn't regret reading at all.
Now i will like to move to the third question.

Kindly mention five positive things you have learned from the book? Ques 3:

Actually i have learned so many things in it which i will like to mention some of them, which are as follows;

The book or the story taught me to always value what i have when it is still available, cause if that woman (wife of that king) ran away or died because of too much thinking of what she is passing through that king wouldn't have had a male child cause all his wives didn't gave birth to a male child except that first wife which she hate.

The story also taught me that we should value everybody like what i have said earlier and also take everybody as one.

Thirdly, the story also taught me that we should love everybody like we loved our self and also try to be in one accord.

The story also taught us that we should avoid discrimination and take everyone as one. Cause that happened olden days ago when our forefathers didn't send female children to school.

And lastly i also understand that peace is very very important in a family.

Would you love to share such experience with your children?

Yes of course i supposed to make sure that my children understands all these things which i have listed here, because is very very important in a family and we all need to practice it all the time thanks.

Conclusion

Now i will like to summarise by saying a very big thanks to this very community for bringing up such an interesting topic on this very platform firmly known as steemit platform and it also helps us to learn a lot of things in this very platform as we continue ti blog.

So special mentions to: @richy20, @bossj23, @simmonnwigwe, @chukwu10 @goodybest and other steemit officials.
