Life is unpredictable, and we can't always control what happens around us. Challenges, setbacks, and surprises are inevitable. But while we can’t dictate the world’s actions, we have full control over our reactions.

Food for thought....

Were Liberians Americans before coming to Liberia?

If so please can someone tell me when we denounced our American citizenship?

Also why are we applying for VISAs to go back to America where our ancestors worked for many years without pay, pension or basic human dignity. It's alright, cuz it all white. Everything done in the dark shall come to light.

OK yall can go check on Diddy now.

-THE COMPANY YOU KEEP-

Many of us verbally say we want to become great, say that we aspire to become influential impactful people. The first step is understanding what you are asking for...

You don't become great or impactful by staying the same, we must grow and evolve in a positive direction accepting our mistakes and continuing to seek answers and wisdom.

The COMPANY you keep surprisingly is a leading factor in the direction of your life and growth.

You will notice
If you are surrounded by people who love to gossip you will gossip.

If your are surrounded by innovative people
you will become innovative to some degree.

WHO WE ARE AND BECOME IS JUST THE SUM TOTAL OF OUR EXPERIENCES, SOUL AND ENVIRONMENT.

KEEP GREAT COMPANY

The grave yards are the wealthiest places on earth! They hold the best of many of us. The grave yard holds many people who have unrealized dreams, aspirations, ideas unspoken, words unspoken passed up opportunities due to fear. So many things undone. Today I want to encourage you to

DIE!

EMPTY!

Live each day to the fullest, what needs to be said SAY IT! what you can do today DO IT! don't leave all of your potential on the inside

BRAVELY step forward and LIVE!

We don't want to say If I would have, I should have, I love this but, I don't think I'm good enough.

Realize a fulfilled LIFE EVERYDAY!

START TODAY

There's an old Tanzanian Folktale. Its about to monkeys who were sitting in a tree watching the forest. All of a sudden they started to see fish jumping out of the water and going back in. One of the monkeys thought they were trying to escape so he rushed down and saved the FISH from DROWNING!! How virtuous right, the fish was soo excited when he was put on land and other monkey was praising him for the good work. After a few minutes the fish took a nap and never woke up.......

Moral of the story, some of us whole heartedly believe that the things we do are right and believe in doing good deeds but are impulsive on our decisions. When trying to do the right things think plan and consult others for a clear view on what the right thing will be. Otherwise you too will save a DROWNING FISH.

Sunday February 25 2024,

As we all go to church let us remember these young boys and girls in our prayers. That they find the strength to leave their addiction and find their way back into society and a good life. It pains me to imagine that enjoyment and a good time brought them here. This result was never their intention. Lets understand and remember that the Zogos are the victims of the drug dealers and the drugs.

Let us not forsake our brothers and sisters

Thanks Chris for the insight

谢天谢地， on February 6, 2024 two Chinese fishing were stranded at sea with no fuel or way to get back to shore. As a result the two boats drifted off to sea with out any beacon or means of communication with their partners on land. This was a terrifying ordeal for the sailors and their families. For the next 4 days they we're lost in the ocean. Thankfully on February 10th through the intervention of the Chinese embassy near Monrovia, The Liberian Coast guard, AFL, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs And NaFAA the boats and their crews were successfully discovered miles away near the Buchanan port the 4 man crew on the two boats were then successfully rescued and brought to shore. Thank God no one was hurt and the sailors can enjoy their Chinese New Year with a renewed lease on Life. 春节还是快乐🙂 The Unofficial Diplomat Sun Xingwei

Reciprocity is a crucial aspect of how people interact and live in society but researchers who study these interactions have often overlooked its importance. Reciprocity, as a fundamental principle in social psychology, revolves around the concept that individuals tend to respond to the actions of others in a manner that mirrors the positive or negative nature of those actions. It involves a mutual exchange of behaviors and reactions, where individuals reciprocate the same type of behavior they have received from others.

People's choices in how they behave are mostly based on what they can gain from others in return, while feelings of trust, liking, and togetherness are strongly influenced by the idea of giving and receiving equally.

The concept of "The blind leading the blind" is an interesting one. It simply exhibits to us that the problem in leadership isn't always the leaders but actually the followers. The followers fail to realize that their leader is BLIND, choose to believe he can see or are just are not inclined enough to know the difference.

- I am not speaking of literal BLINDNESS obviously but metaphorically meaning a leader without foresight or vision. Always remember to ask those leading you "WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?" if you do not get a response you probably shouldn't be following....
