EveryOne Needs Somebody

Everyone needs Somebody

Man (male and female inclusive) was created to be a social being. That is, he has the ability to be interactive with his environment and the people in it. It was the resultant effect of Adam’s loneliness and need for a companion that brought about the need for a companion and the social behavior of man.

No man in life has ever achieved anything independently without the need or input of other people no matter the knowledge of that person. No general can single-handedly go to war without the support of other soldiers. There can’t be a government without the people and so on. So the existence of one person is needful for the companionship of the other person.

 No matter how successful a person thinks that he or she has attained in life and needs no one’s contribution, such a one is heading for doom’s day. Success without a successor as it is been said amounts to total failure,  therefore everyone needs somebody.

Don’t get mad at people when they tell you they feel so lonely and depressed, not really their fault because it’s just an expression of that social being in them seeking for attention, seeking for a companion to fill the gap that has engulfed such a one.

Life has lots of pains and frustration, filled with failures and disappointments and most times requires the companionship of a fellow to help one get out of frustration.

It’s in an effort for a man to socialize and deal with loneliness that brought about the invention of social media. A platform where people can interact with each other, get to meet new people, let go unprofitable companionship and look for people who can really fill that loneliness in them. If you get to ask some people what their hobbies are, you get to see kinds of stuff like meeting new friends, traveling, chatting and a whole lot more. In a way, it could be seen as hubbies but in its real sense it’s sense, it’s just an expression of the social need of man and the ways to fill that vacuum.

Therefore, we can strongly agree that each one of us needs a person who can listen, give attention and really wants to know at each point in time how we are feeling. No man is an island

People complain that attention is not given to them or that they are been neglected

At some point in time, we are on the verge of giving up on life, don’t give up my friend, a companion is all you need to sparkle up the greatness in you.

It may look as though, life and everyone is against you. It could be at times frustrating that there is no one to speak to his or her hearing. At times, you are so desperate to speak to someone about your problems, you just needed the heart to hear you out of your pains and probably tell you

Everyone needs a shoulder to lean on.
Everyone needs a heart that could comprehend his or her torments.
Everyone needs a listening ear that can hear him or her out of their life’s issues.
Try as much as possible to be that individual whom, if individuals share their torments with you, they get calmed and find reasons to be alive!
Be that shoulder that individuals can incline toward and discover trust.
Be that listening ear that is prepared to listen to individuals of their disappointments.
Be that heart that can be effortlessly broken at the plight of individuals. 

Learn to be concerned about others and not been so concerned about yourself alone

Poverty Is Not Just About Money

poverty is not just about cash. Oxford University in Britain says destitution additionally implies not having enough sustenance, training, social insurance and haven.

Recently, Oxford University discharged its most recent measure of destitution. It is known as the Multidimensional Poverty Index, or MPI. Scientists assembled data from 108 nations, where 78 percent of the total populace lives. Oxford says in regards to 1.6 billion of those individuals are what it calls "multi-dimensionally poor." It says most live in country ranges.

Sabina Alkire is the leader of the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative. She portrays multidimensional destitution.

"I mean a man who has distinctive things turning out badly in the meantime. They won't not have numerous advantages and they may have hunger. What's more, they won't not have over five years of tutoring. In this way, a few things are turning out badly in their life in the meantime. That is being multi-dimensionally poor. It's not only one."

The MPI found that in almost 50 creating nations, half of the needy individuals ought to be called "down and out" - as it were, having an outrageous absence of fundamental expectations for everyday comforts.

Poverty Is A Sickness, Deal With It

Poverty is a sickness, deal with it

Poverty is defined as the general state of scarcity or the state in which one lacks a certain amount of material possessions or money in his or her possession. It is a concept which cuts across many areas of life, which includes social, economic, spiritual and political elements

The lack of money seems to be more source of evil in our society than the love of money today. People go into so much evil because of the lack of money but no evil is justifiable for going into because of the lack of money.

Indeed, I can say clearly that poverty is a sickness that has crippled many dreams and visions, and only a few are determined to come out of that sickness called poverty.

Poverty has killed many dreams, aspirations and until you treat poverty as a sickness and handle it the way you handle Malaria, you are entitled to remain poverty-ridden and your life a good definition of what poverty is.

That you were born poor is not a license to continue in poverty and hand over poverty to the generation coming after you. It is not a crime to be born poor but it becomes an evil thing when one decides to live poor and die poor.

That you were born without a silver spoon does not mean you cannot get the golden spoon for your children and generations unborn.

Holiness + Poverty = Lazarus kind of life although going to heaven

Also

Holiness + True Riches= Isaac kind of life that was richer than a nation yet was going to heaven too like Lazarus the beggar.

Persistence And Determination

This is a real life story of engineer John Roebling building the Brooklyn Bridge in New York, USA back in 1870. The bridge was completed in 24th May, 1883, after 13 years.
In 1870, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical. It had never been done before.
Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. He thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built.
Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. With great excitement and inspiration, and the headiness of a wild challenge before them, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was also injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to talk or walk.
“We told them so.” “Crazy men and their crazy dreams.” “It’s foolish to chase wild visions.”
Everyone had a negative comment to make and felt that the project should be scrapped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built.
In spite of his handicap Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever. He tried to inspire and pass on his enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task.
As he lay on his bed in his hospital room, with the sunlight streaming through the windows, a gentle breeze blew the flimsy white curtains apart and he was able to see the sky and the tops of the trees outside for just a moment.
It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up. Suddenly an idea hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife.
He touched his wife’s arm with that finger, indicating to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was under way again.
For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute to the triumph of one man’s indomitable spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances. It is also a tribute to the engineers and their team work, and to their faith in a man who was considered mad by half the world. It stands too as a tangible monument to the love and devotion of his wife who for 13 long years patiently decoded the messages of her husband and told the engineers what to do.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die attitude that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and achieves an impossible goal.
Often when we face obstacles in our day-to-day life, our hurdles seem very small in comparison to what many others have to face. The Brooklyn Bridge shows us that dreams that seem impossible can be realised with determination and persistence, no matter what the odds are.
