A harbor is to a ship what a destiny is to man! Life is all but just a gamble, you and I know this. This is what happens, ‘you can get hurt and bruised, you can make fortunes as well, you can die in a plane crash, lose an arm or leg in a car accident; people die every day and same to fighters they too die in a fight, but you just don't let yourself believe it will happen to you’. Muhammad Ali

Life is a voyage in an alien ocean of uncertainties and impossibilities. If it has taken you ages to be where you are today with no tangible benefits of your labor and you are recollecting on every particular moment in your life that you could have made better if certain key decisions were made. At this point know that you were only afraid to gamble, you were at the extremes of pessimism on uncertainty, and you were impossibility-filled, too closed and allergic to irritating but feasible ideas, procrastination was your religious name.

If you are fifty now and still looking at life the same way you did at twenty, dreaming the same dreams that you dreamed thirty years ago, still hoping to achieve the things you should have achieved already at thirty or forty then know for sure that you have wasted thirty beautiful and colossal amounts of years in your life. In utter disbelief steadily the vibrant youth in you has worn out, the sun in you is at dusk and you cannot amount up to anything productive for yourself and the nation. You are standing out to be counted amongst the most vulnerable class of people and this vulnerability is a state liability.

Life in itself is the biggest sporting event of gambling lucrative but heart wrecking opportunities and in it a perpetual gamble of failure means doing the same things in the same old wrong way with an arrogant refusal-attitude to take notes. Life is the cruelest classroom there has ever been where the choices of success and failure are “either” “or”. And the horrifying frustrations of life lie in choosing to make wrong decisions all the time. Once serial failure becomes a habit, then chances of seeing things in a new way might diminish.

The champions of life are people with sputtering courage and nerves to gamble the impossibilities; they try things that leave bad tastes in the mouths of others, they are willing to commit to open new routes into the forests of uncertainty, they stake up their lives to save lives in a burning bush, they dream dreams others simply cannot, they walk where there are no roads, Some dared the sun and ended up on the moon to cool their space shuttles, others wanted to create their own planets but ended up with space stations, this is what simply makes them extraordinary and in some way abnormal people who see life a sweet gambling subject. What do they do? .... They just gamble it all.

The missing pieces of pleasure in your life’s voyage are the things that you were afraid of trying out and now are giving you displeasure in your current state. These can amount greatly to time lost. Your present state is a result of a choice you made to be right where you are; Dramiga
