Exchange A Service For A Hug, Help Someone & Make The World A Better Place Like Anthony Cymerys.

Today, i want to share a little story that inspires me a lot and makes me think really deep. It's about a treasure, an awesome and selfless man, who in his little way contributes greatly to lives and put smiles on people's faces.

I'm writing about an 82-years-old Anthony Cymerys in the above picture, who is also known as Joe the Barber. He began offering his service as a barber 25-years ago after he retired from a career in business.

Every Wednesdays, Anthony sets up a chair in the shade of an oak tree in Hartford's Bushnell Park. The homeless, longtime clients and those just passing by on luck had their haircut for just a token. The fee is always the same; A HUG FOR A HAIRCUT.

Isn't that just awesome? Now you understand why i called him a treasure. He is a rare gem and a treasure to our corrupt and selfish generation. Can you imagine what he exchanges for love? An hair cut.

Relationship Issues: Dissing To Naija Guys & Babes Who Marry For Names & Money. (A Must Read)

Don't mind this picture oh....Nigerians will photoshop anything photoshopable lol... but i love the concept sha. 

The issue i want to hint on is about some of our naija guys and ladies who have nothing to write home about but they want someone to love them for who they are. Uhm...this is not funny oh..If you are one of such, REPENT!

Guy, before you ask a lady to love you for who you are, you should know who you really are. 

You don't have a job, you have got no vision, no burning desire, not even an ambition, yet you keep saying you need a lady that will 'love you for who you are'. Uhm...Who are you anyway? Do you have an identity? I beg identify yourself and don't ask anyone to go on a suicide mission.

If all you have got to offer a lady is your SURNAME, uhm...i pity for you because your name will eventually become a SOURname if the lady mistakenly marries you for your father's name. #Trust naija women with their bad mouth#

Ladies, do you really know what you want in a man?

Oftentimes,when you ask a lady what she wants in a man,her response is always "i want an honest,faithful man…a man who will love me for me" (I'm not exempted lol) I think we are so shallow minded when it comes to making the right choice in a relationship or going into the right relationship. We are so caught up in our fairytales land and we forget that there are other factors we need to put into consideration because love is just not enough to make a relationship work.

Factors like:

Does he know your birthday?

Does he understand your moods?

Does he know your weaknesses and strengths?

What are his own dreams?

What is your role in those dreams?

What kind of person is he?

Does he smoke? Why does he smoke?

Does he drink? What makes him drink?

What is his lifestyle?

How does he fund it? What does he do for a living?

What does he want to do for a living? What does he want to do for a better tomorrow?

Touching Video: A companion to the forgotten.

Today being Good Friday, and the week of the remembrance of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, what are you doing to live a Christ-like life?

How are you showing love to those in need of it? How are you living according to the word of God about giving? 

I'm not referring to giving to your pastors or lovers here, rather, i'm referring to giving to those in need, bearing your neighbor's burden, sharing the little you have with those that have nothing....

The bible ordered us to give to the needy and less privileged in our society....

In Proverbs 22:9 - Whoever has a bountiful eye will be blessed, for he shares his bread with the poor.

1st John 3:17-18 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

Proverbs 14:31 Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him.

Isaiah 58:10 If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.

Proverbs 28:27 Whoever gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse.

There is a gratification and a blessing that goes with giving, one does not need to be a christian for them to give because we have all got 5.5 litres of blood running through our vains and we are all human. 

Below is a touching video of a selfless man. Happy viewing and Happy Good Friday!

Are there still sincere people around?

I saw this on Facebook and decided to share because it's so me. I can deal with and forgive a person that's wrong as long as they are sincere. 

In the world that we live in today, finding sincere people is as good as impossible. There is always a selfish interest behind every gesture and no one wants to tell the truth but they all want to hear the truth. What a world we live in!

A MUST READ: Ladies, marriage is not a DO or DIE affair.

This lady was beaten blue/black by her husband and she is in coma....no one knows if she will make it.

This whole violence against women is deafening and a law should be put in place to castrate any man who raises his hand against a woman. I want to use this avenue to diss the ladies who still think marriage is for better or for worse. 

Few days ago, a friend of mine asked me for advice, her husband is what you will call a 'dog', he goes after anything and everything, he keep telling his girlfriends that he is not married, then promise them marriage and even goes ahead to impregnate them; Whereas he has a wife and child at home. Now, my friend is scared because her husband might end up contacting her with STDs, even at that, she still thinks marriage is for better and for worse. 

I didn't ask her to leave her marriage, i only asked her to choose between her life and her marriage. If her life is important to her, she will leave the marriage and take care of her child but if the marriage is more important to her, she will get infected with STDs and another woman will help her train her child. 

How can you sacrifice your life for someone who doesn't even know the value? 

Everything in life is Vanity!

Sometimes, i wonder what people think when they feel and act like the world is under their feet, when they act like they can do anything and get away with it, when they intimidate the less privileged as if there is no end to this life.

For example, when Blackberry first came out, it was an hot cake and most people intimidated others with it; but now, everybody use it. 

Camry was once the car for the big boys, but now, it's being used for public transport.

Plasma screen TV was only owned by the rich, but now, it's used in every local restaurant to watch football matches. People used to go out with the Ipad for swag, but now, it's too heavy to go out with.

Some so called big girls used to intimidate other babes with their brazilian hair, but now, even secondary school girls are tired of wearing human hair.

You form big girls/boys because you go to UK for vacation, but now, real big boys/girls buy first class ticket just to go buy ice cream in London.

What i'm trying to get across is that we should stop acting like there is no tomorrow because the things we place so much value on today will fade out like ABA jeans; and just like what we call Tortoise car today was once a big man's car yesterday.

Everything in life has an expiring date; even the life we have is a borrowed one.

No matter what you have, be humble and always be thankful to God for whatever he has given you because aside God, all of these material things are just plain vanity.
