The Midnight Adventures of Two Unlikely Friends

In the heart of Chicago, 1952, a city bustling with jazz and the whispers of change, two young boys found friendship beyond the boundaries of color. Their story is a testament to the innocence of childhood and the purest form of friendship—one that sees beyond the superficial and touches the heart. The L Train Chronicles Every night, when the city fell into a slumber, James and Ronald would embark on their secret escapade. With the stars as their witness, they'd sneak out to the rhythmic clatter of the L train, a steel chariot for their nocturnal adventures. It was more than just a ride; it was their little rebellion, a shared thrill that only they knew. A Snapshot of Brotherhood One particular night, the adventure paused momentarily. At the station, young James, overcome by the day's excitement, dozed off on a station chair. Ronald, ever the watchful guardian, stood by his side.

Three Mistakes You Should Never Make At Your Workplace

Intro Hi, I am Museli Mulaima, and I have been working in the corporate world for over 10 years. I have learned a lot of valuable lessons along the way, and I want to share some of them with you today. In this blog post, I will tell you about three mistakes you should never make at your workplace, and how to avoid them. Mistake 1: Thinking your colleagues are your friends One of the biggest mistakes you can make at your workplace is thinking that your colleagues are your friends. They are not. They are just doing a job, and they have their own interests and agendas. When push comes to shove, they will save their skin and push you under the bus. They will not hesitate to take credit for your work, gossip about you behind your back, or sabotage your career. Trust me, I have seen it happen many times. So, how do you avoid this mistake? The answer is simple: keep your professional and personal lives separate. Don't mix business with pleasure. Don't get too close or too attached to

Today is a new way to navigate into a new chapter

Life is full of twists and turns, and sometimes we may find ourselves in situations that we did not expect or plan for. Maybe we have to move to a different place, change our career, or face a personal challenge. How can we cope with these changes and make the most of them? How can we be sure of the most important things that matter to us, and not lose sight of our goals and dreams? One way to approach these questions is to see every change as an opportunity to start a new chapter in our life. A new chapter means a new story, a new adventure, a new learning experience. It means that we can reinvent ourselves, discover new aspects of our personality, and explore new possibilities. It also means that we can reconnect with our roots, our values, and our home town, and appreciate them more than ever. NEW CHAPTER  However, starting a new chapter is not always easy. It requires courage, resilience, and adaptability. It also requires hard work, dedication, and perseverance. These are some of

Explain Infidelity with a Parable

How to Explain Infidelity with a Parable? Have you ever wondered how to break the news to someone that their partner has been unfaithful? It can be a delicate and difficult situation, especially if the person is in denial or unaware of the signs. Sometimes, a direct approach may not work, and you may need to use a more subtle or creative way to get your point across. One such way is to use a parable, which is a short story that illustrates a moral or spiritual lesson. Parables are often used in religious texts, such as the Bible or the Quran, to teach people about various aspects of life. Parables can also be used in everyday situations, such as when you want to explain something to someone without hurting their feelings or making them angry. One example of a parable that can be used to explain infidelity is the following: A guy asked a doctor why his girlfriend is pregnant when they always use protection and the rubber never broke. How is it possible? The doctor said, let me tell you

The Illusion of Ownership

Reasons Why We Don't Own Anything in This Life By Museli Mulaima Have you ever wondered what you truly own in this life? What are the things that you can claim as yours, and what are the things that you merely borrow or rent? In this blog post, I will challenge the common notion of ownership and show you why we don't own anything in this life. What is ownership? Ownership  is the state or fact of having exclusive rights and control over something. It implies that you have the power to use, dispose, or transfer something as you wish. Ownership also implies that you have the responsibility to take care of something and protect it from harm or loss. But how do we acquire ownership ? How do we know that something belongs to us? The answer is not so simple. In most cases, we rely on social conventions, legal systems, or moral principles to determine ownership . For example, we may say that we own a piece of land because we have a title deed, or we own a car because we have a regist

Discover Your True Potential

Lessons from the Chicken-Eagle Story Do you ever feel like you don't fit in or aren't reaching your full potential? Maybe you feel stuck in your own created limits. If so, the chicken-eagle story can show you the importance of knowing yourself and reaching your true potential. Once upon a time, a man found an eagle's egg and put it in a hen's nest. The egg hatched, and the eagle grew up thinking it was a chicken, doing chicken things. It never knew it was different or had a greater purpose. One day, the eagle saw a beautiful bird flying high and asked its friend, "Who is that?" "That's the eagle, the king of the birds," the friend replied. "We're chickens; we belong to the earth." Accepting this, the eagle never questioned its identity again, living and dying as a chicken without realizing its true potential. Lesson This story teaches us that our beliefs and surroundings can limit us. We might not know who we truly are or what we

How to Respect Yourself in 11 Simple Steps

Respect is not something that you can demand from others. It is something that you have to earn by your actions and attitude. Respect is also something that you have to give to yourself first, before you can expect it from others. If you don't respect yourself, how can you expect others to respect you? In this blog post, I will share with you 11 ways to respect yourself and boost your self-esteem. These are simple but powerful steps that you can take to improve your relationship with yourself and others. 1. Stop looking for who is not looking for you. One of the most common ways that people disrespect themselves is by chasing after people who don't care about them. Whether it is a romantic interest, a friend, or a family member, if someone is not looking for you, stop looking for them. You are wasting your time, energy, and emotions on someone who does not value you. Instead, focus on the people who do look for you, who do care about you, and who do appreciate you. These are th
