Inspirational Quote
Never take a person for granted, hold every person close to your heart cause you might wake up one day and realise that you're lost a diamond, while you were too busy collecting stones.
Memories from the Chambers of my Mind
I am a cheerful, vibrant young man whose aim is to affect positive changes. Like most people, the real ones that is, I have made a few, rather, a lot of bad turns in my life, but I have learned how to stand by the decisions that I have made and live with the consequences thereof. In spite of, or, perhaps, as a result, this truth stands resolute in the chambers of my mind, that even geniuses tend to make mistakes since the heights of a man's intelligence is conversely proportionate to his stupidity. Still, I pay homage to all my past experiences...it is because of which, I now have the chance to be everything God sees in me! I'm forever grateful for the cross.

The True Goal of Education
The Oxford dictionary defines education as "the process of training and developing the knowledge, skill, mind, character,etc., especially by formal schooling; teaching; or training". Regardless of one's religion, cultural background, or up-bringing, education is used as a tool for social mobility among the nations of the world with its primary focus being the aquisition of knowledge and understanding. While education serves its many purposes, its true goal remains a question of great concern. The use of which is clasified as either "good" or "bad", and is governed by one's values, virtues, and moralities. It was said by Rev. Dr. Martin Luthur King Jr.that, " the true goal of education is intelligence plus character". While this humble yet very nobel proverb remains unchallenged, humanity in its quest to concretize even an abstract thought, have dared to say this of education- that it is the measure of a man. Equally, I too will venture to say that the true goal of education is to creat a body of people who are skillfully armed with the knowledge needed to birth new and creative ideas to serve humanity. The success of which can only be measured by the ability of a people to live out their truest potential.
