How to Get through Depression

Disclaimer:  Don’t use these tips as an alternative to getting professional treatment. These come as a guide for anyone whose only option (at the moment) is to get through depression alone. They’re not provided as treatment. About 3 years ago, a depressed 23-year old girl standing on the side of the road thought about taking her life. She couldn’t handle the pain in her heart, endless mental torture and living in a hopeless world.   She figured that if only she made a few steps into the oncoming traffic, all the emotional battles would be gone. That, for once in the last 8 months, she’d be able to look herself in the mirror and smile.   Or so she thought. The screeching tyres, loud car horns, and screams from bystanders abated her thoughts. Not only had she been having suicidal thoughts, but she’d given way to them and walked right into traffic.   Did she attempt suicide? Were the thoughts she’d been having lately that dire? And had the situation com

“The Sun Will Rise, And We Will Try Again”

what it means is that tomorrow is always a new day, and we all have a chance at a new beginning. Yesterday’s sadness doesn't have to carry into today; the sunsets on the bad and rises with hope for a better day. I tell myself this when I have a day that is personally hard or frustrating, and it reminds me to live for the future

Things You Should Do If You’re Unemployed Besides Sending Applications

“What has this country come to? I mean you work so hard in school, pay a lot of money to get an education in the hope of securing a job and getting back your return on investment.

Visual explanations of HTML, CSS and JavaScript concepts

When you are building your first website with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you only need a very simple file directory. You have one folder with three total files, and perhaps an image file or two if you are using a background image or a logo. But, as your site grows, you will need to start using multiple folders to organize your different files. And, if you write your own back-end using a language like Node.js or Ruby on Rails, then you will need to be even more focused on organization. READ MORE HERE

Confession of a Good Man

Most women are always embarrassed to ask their man for money or for something they need, always embarrassed. They would rather soak up their challenges secretly  or look for help elsewhere than going to him to ask for some help, even when she knows that he has the capacity to handle it, they don't just feel right about it, especially for women with an independently 'I should take care of myself' mentality. And the problem is not a lack of courage or pride, the challenge is that they feel responsible for themselves and more than anything else they hate that you might feel buggy. The closest thing they try to do is get help somewhere else, even when those alternative sources are the most unlikely to be responsive she will still prefer to take that chance than ask you for anything. She expects you to figure out that something is not right. She just expects you to read her body language and her moods. She expects you to read the words in her silence, but when you

President Kenyatta, Raila Odinga resolve to work together and unite Kenyans

NAIROBI, 9 March 2018 (PSCU) – President Uhuru Kenyatta and Opposition leader Raila Odinga have resolved to work together to unite the country. Addressing the Press after they held talks at Harambee House, Nairobi, today, President Kenyatta and Mr Odinga said time has come for the country to stop allowing political differences to cause frictions and divisions. President Kenyatta pointed out that for the country to come together, leaders should discuss their differences freely and openly to end ethnic divisions. The Head of State emphasised that as leaders, they have a responsibility to discuss and find solutions that will bind, unite the country and free it from a life pegged on a five-year electioneering cycle. “Elections come and go but Kenya remains; so as we must plan for the future – a future that will not be dictated by the forthcoming elections. Our future must be dictated by the prosperity, stability of our nation and the well-being of our people,” President Ken

How artificial intelligence will impact the workforce

Last year, research by Accenture and the Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) posited that artificial intelligence (AI) had the potential to double the growth rate of the South African economy and boost rates of profitability by an average of 38 percent by 2035. This is great news for South African businesses of course, but an AI-dominated landscape brings with it multiple ethical and social issues, including the problem of a labor force that feels redundant and whose skills may be no longer needed. AI will undoubtedly change the world of work, just as the Industrial Revolution did in the 1700s and 1800s. Certain jobs will become obsolete, as intelligent machines will be able to complete tasks quicker and more accurately than humans. New roles will also be created – jobs that we haven’t even thought about yet. AI will be the biggest disruptor the business world has seen in over two centuries. It is little wonder, then, that people are already starting to get jittery about

What I have learned on my journey as a Freelance writer

Being a writer is a cool thing. If you are like me, you love words and love it when you create something so beautiful that it comes alive. But, over time, there are several things that I have learned, and have realized can become your own undoing. IMITATION  As a writer, the worst thing that you can try to do is imitate, especially someone else’s style. It will never sound like you. It will feel like what I hate most – feeling like a robot. Don’t ask me how a robot feels. I don’t even know whether these machines that are slowly taking over our world have emotions. That’s a story for another day. What I mean is that I loathe, detest mechanical work. Writing has never been about how fast you can write, how many articles you can write in a day, how many words you can type in a minute. Well, don’t get me wrong here. Sometimes, it is, especially if you are a full-time writer and have to pay bills. What I am saying is that writing is not ideally a mechanical process. It is a life-c
