THE PAIR OF GLASSES

Before I began to wear a pair of glasses in 1999, I simply thought that everyone saw just exactly what I saw. I thought it was normal not to see the board from the back of the classroom.

THE CAR THAT CANNOT BE TRUSTED

We were on a family trip some months back. Halfway into the trip, the car developed a fault. We spent about four hours on the roadside. It was not funny. Interestingly, this was right after breaking down a day earlier. All plans had to change. The car over time shows the same fault in spite of several repairs. I made […]

DON’T TRAIN YOUR FLESH TO HELP YOUR FAILURE
