This is a very good question. As much as i did not like history in school because of the many books you had to read, but the thing is history revolves so much around the blacks being slaves. How it all begun really i cannot tell. But the only thing that made blacks become slaves is because the white community colonised us. But it is what it is we cannot change that, we were colonised and we got our independence what remains now is for us to do what we have to do and do things out way and on our own without being dependant on the white community to get things done. We as Africans need to change that trend that Africans are slaves. Yes it’s true that most of the whites get to do all the top jobs while the Africans settle for the dirty jobs. Ask yourself this question who gives them this jobs in our countries aren’t they our leaders, we have very learned people in our countries this are the people who need to stand up for their people and say not to slavery of all kinds and do what is right. Africans are bright and we have alot going for us all we need to do is get up and grab what belongs to us when it’s available don’t just sit there and expect to be given good jobs you have to be aggressive. We are the ones who let other people come to our countries and take our jobs. It’s not that we are not qualified for those jobs, but its the way we take ourselves and put ourselves down. If only we believe in ourselves and take up the mantle. We don’t have to keep living with that idea in our minds and hearts that we are slaves. Just remember that there are great minds in Africans. Obama and Oprah and many others are a perfect example that something good can come out of Africans not just slavery. Slavery is something that was there back in the days and it can only be used to refer to history not in the 20th century. We are over that.

Indeed, when it is summer, the heat is unbearable especially outside of the house.

I always have a folding umbrella and a folding fan in my bag. So, whenever I go outside the house I would use my umbrella.

Even inside the jeepney, whenever it stops to pick up passengers the scorching heat can be felt. The folding umbrella will be used.

I also wear loose blouses and usually sleeveless. I also would have my hair in ponytail. I always take a bath , especially in the evening.

I also see to it that I eat more than 8 glasses. And I like the water to be so cold. The moment the water enters body, you can feel instant refreshment.

These are some of the ways to beat the heat.

I think here in the Philippines, we would really have a shorter summer as was announced before. And indeed, it would rain now, especially in the morning.

The rain helps in cooling the surroundings.

Even when it is not summer, I used to drink 8 glasses of water, or more. These days, I avoid getting out in the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 .m., as much as I could. It is really scorching hot; and one needs to wear sunglasses to protect the eyes from UV rays.

This surely helps.
Reading many success stories of people who rose from rags to riches really help us to motivate to pursue more of our dreams. That’s true, mindset. Mindset that you can do it.

Sometimes, its hard to hit the mark. Sometimes there are so many challenges and many obstacles. Pursuing is not easy. But mindset, when you can make it will lead you to the triumphant stage.

What a good wa
