**GROWING UP!

   When I was 6, I picked up a stick and a rope on my way home from school. looking at the stick, I saw an unarmed soldier. I wondered "what if this soldier has a gun in his hand, what a beautiful  toy it would be". I quickly tied a smaller stick to the part of the toy soldier  that seemed to me as hand. I made it tight cause I wouldn't want the toy soldier's gun to fall off in battle .
  Two years later, I found my creature (toy soldier ) under my bed. but, this time,  I didn't  see a soldier.  I saw a "y" shaped stick that can be used to construct a cartaport.  I untied the previous twine and tied an elastic band on both ends of the "y" shape. This time, I felt much better "I will always hunt down lizards with my new creation". After two years of my hunting adventure, I had to misplace my creature for the second time.
   After 16 years of living in one street, we had to relocate. Everybody is running around because they needed to pack their luggage. Meanwhile,  I was eager, looking forward to the arrival of the transporting vehicle. I was still curiously gazing, when a stick flew out of the window and fell beside me. I picked it up and threw it into a nearby bush. A boy of about 6 years old saw where it fell, he quickly picked it up in excitement, ran into our compound, approached me in a very polite  manner and asked....Brother please! can I take?
         me: Yes of course!
He was so excited that he forgot to say thank you...He was flying  the stick in the air like an airplane.

 #lessons;
 *There comes a time when our best toys/most treasured jewelries will  become meaningless. And when this happens,  just know that maturity is taking place.
*The kind of creation one makes is always a perfect match with his/her understanding.
*you can always give out your used toys other than throwing  them away.
*another  man's  initiative starts where your own stopped.

                               Creativity/ Nature     Acknowledging the fact that you are ignorant gives you a better room to acquire more inspirations from nature.     Nature  comprises of both living and non livings things that have been made by God. I define nature as; N –natural A –aspirant T –talent U –undiscovered R –reminder E –events. Bringing the words together, nature is; a natural aspirant, a talent u discovered, and a reminder of events.  * Natural ; because all things where made by God who is the master of every creation or creator. * Aspirant; nature has made a lot of impacts in the lives of its listeners, mostly, the scientists.  The scientists specialize mainly in the study of nature.  As stated above, nature includes the totality of both living and non living things.  Most poets, and philosophers also draw there source of inspira...
