Accept Failure.

The first step in dealing with failure is to accept that failure is natural. We all have bad days and weeks. Days that nothing seems to go right and our brain has nothing left in it. Failure hurts, at least for the first time. Failure is absolutely normal and acceptable. Its ok to fail sometimes. Most days, I feel like my life is a test I didn't study for. And it's like I'm being huddled into getting an F with a deserving ass whooping. But mind you, failing an obstacle course or a test over and over again is not normal. You're not just a failure, you're a dull head. If you can't succeed at the little things you do, then skydiving is definitely not for you. In a day when you don't come across problems, then you are definitely travelling on the wrong path or probably lost. Aha, I just figured it out. I'm not lost, I just don't happen to know where I am. Don't question me, there's a huge difference.

Recognize And Accept Your Emotions.

I don't fail anything I am deeply interested in. I try to ace all my objectives perfectly. Just so you know, I am only interested in food, wifi and sleep. The rest of life's activities can jump off the cliff. Trying is the first step towards failure. And that's why I left my maths test paper blank. Didn't try, didn't fail. I don't take life too seriously. You and I know we won't make it out alive. I have a test coming up in few days and so far, I still can't guess which subject. I do have a test but it is what it is. Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. Nah, I rather just sleep in bed. Cant afford to ruin my toe nails. Who needs to stumble when you could just order a box of pizza and watch Netflix all day. You know who else was a failure at school? Isaac newton. But the jork head saw an apple fall and failed to mind his business. Now, we are all failing physics because a thousand years ago, someone failed to eat a damn apple like everyone else. Don't be a failure, accept you can't do it. And move on. You're holding up the line to the toilet.

Don't Make It Personal.

Do you know what's worse than failing to eat before an exam? Failing at parenting. Its that painful. You get to watch your failure fail miserably at trying to raise a better kid. I once had a neighbor who was a drunk and would beat up his kids and wife everytime. Children have never been very good at listening to their elders but they never fail to imitate them. So little johnny grew up with the mentality that he could turn anyone and anything into a punching bag. And so did his brother Tommy. Now it's an entire lineage of angry birds. Or better still, clash of clans. When you have failed as a parent, you have failed not just yourself but an entire generation. Controlling parents will always assume their kids are the properties they can possess. All they do is nag about their kids grades and how many hours they spend on their phones. Hold the hell up sister Agnes, her English period wasn't the only period she missed. You gerrit?

Don't Think About People's Opinions.

Sometimes, I wish I was an octopus, so I can slap eight people at once. Because why not? A work place is a place to make money more make enemies. But people would always fail to look at the bright side of things. Work hard and don't let the haters pull you down. Success is not built on success. Its built on failure. Its built on frustration. Sometimes, it is built on catastrophe. Who the h$ll is this success? Because so far, I have been privileged to encounter frustration and her non-life sparing partner Catastrophe. So where exactly can I find success? Because when I do, we would be taking a long vacation. And she better start talking and spilling all the juice. How do bankers get to see a whole load of cash every day and still persist on accountability? Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door. Hold on, I wasn't talking about the bank door, but I could consider it though. I really need to visit my bank because what is all this? Extracting my life savings for card maintenance? Leave the card alone. I didn't complain it failed to fetch me cash. And I am definitely not listening to what they would say about upgrades. Keep your opinion to yourself. When you fail to do so, I might ignore you till you begin to think you don't exist. Its my failure, leave it that way. And if you cant, try failing to breathe. I heard it works. In order for you to insult me, I would first have to value your opinion. And that's not happening soon.

Take Responsibility

Let us all take more responsibility, not only for ourselves and families but for our communities and our country. Someone has to take responsibility of this country's capital. I volunteer. They say anyone can be president. I believe that. Judging by the clowns in Aso rock, indeed, anyone can be president. Taking responsibility is accepting that you're the cause and solution of a problem. Our leaders are definitely taking something and it has nothing to do with responsibility. Its really adorable when you blame everyone for your problems but yourself. You think Emeka is to be blamed for your protruding tummy? Whatever happened to when you opened your legs? No one is coming to save you. This life of yours is 100% your responsibility. If you fail to take responsibility of your actions, your actions would fail to be responsible. When you fail, it's your duty to get up and try again. And if you fail again, it's your responsibility to keep trying or give up. Anna has nothing to do with it.

Improve.

Your life should constantly be under construction. They is always something to improve. Its never too late to be what you might have being. Except of course, you wanted to be a serial killer. When ever you feel like giving up, remember better days are coming. They are called Saturday's and Sunday's. You know, I made it through today without beating anyone with a chair. I would say my people skills are improving. Then you can definitely improve anything about your life. If you want to be diamond, you have to get ready to be cut like a diamond. When it rains, it pours, but soon, the sun shines again. Why wait for the sun? You should grab an umbrella or better still, your blanket. It's either the easy way or the hard way. What matters is that you don't fail at both. Life is a shipwreck but you must not forget to sing in the lifeboats. If you don't know where you are going, ask for directions or visit a hotel. I heard they have amazing sharwama's.

Visit A Therapist.

God gives us relatives. Thank God we can choose our therapists. And if you think a therapists would ruin all your weirdness, you can talk to me. Everything is definitely going to be fine someday. But for now,

Here is a drawing of a cat.
