Sometimes, This Is All It Takes:CONFIDENCE

A boy was asked to find {y} in this equation 2x + 3y= 12, if x=3 during a mathematics class after been taught the principles but he could not. “Why can’t you solve the problem?” the teacher asked. “I have a problem ma” the boy replied. “What’s wrong with you?” The boy stood up and told the teacher that he is been thinking of the problem his parents are having at home. This made the teacher sent him to the school counselor to have a session.

 The unsolved mathematics problem now had to go to his friend who stood up and could not say anything------ he could say nothing because first, he couldn’t solve the mathematics problem like his friend and, unlike his friend, he doesn’t know why he can’t solve the problem so he lost his confidence to speak not only because he couldn’t solve the problem but more pitifully because he doesn’t seems to know why (something about self).

You lost your confidence not because you don’t know anything about something but because you don’t know something about yourself. The first boy didn’t know the mathematics problem but he knows the home problem and that was enough for him to stand on his feet to speak. Confidence comes with knowledge, it is when you know that you can stand with your head high and talk about what you know.

No one knows nothing, in fact one of the biggest lies anyone can ever tell someone is “you know nothing!” everyone knows something----- at least something about self. It is in not being able to say what you know that you lose your confidence and it is in saying what you know that you gain it.

It is common that people just give in and lost confidence when they feel they don’t know enough about something. They simply ignore the little they know and all they know about self to start looking like they know nothing.

All you need to know to speak up is knowledge----- if you know anything about something and you need to speak, speak. If you don’t know anything about something and you need to speak, speak because you sure know something about who you are! A

THE ART OF BAITING!

The art of baiting is a powerful art that involves an organism being at the top of creativity in gaining advantage over another organism. It involves an organism giving advantages or opportunity ignorantly and easily to another organism without the normal rigorous force it would have required. These ‘advantages’ can be as important as a decider between life and death.

The art of baiting has been with us as far back as history can remember and is in use in both animal and plant kingdoms. This is the only art that will make it look as if; a bird willingly leave the skies to be in a wooden cage or the
