The Puzzle Series 001 - Pieces and Piles of People, Places and Priceless Moments



Here's your puzzle, here's mine. Pieces and piles of people, places and priceless moments to fit perfectly into the miles of our history. They are carefully selected (and some not so carefully selected) pieces from the whole lot and just when you feel like you are missing a fragment remember; sometimes the choice piece does not fit, then we hold on to it till we find someone ( a friend or a passer-by) to trade with. A new style, a perfect picture or a patch from another picture; in the end all of these will merge into footholds paving up our yellow road to success.

''Sometimes, you have to forget what's gone, appreciate 
what's still remaining and look forward 
to what's coming next''

- Will Smith

 Cheers to the pieces of puzzles that have pooled our lives together!


DESIGN INSPIRATION:
Some four/five years ago, I was speaking to a close friend about what it takes to be Iconic. I mean, as young and talented as we were back then, we were really obsessed with making an impact with our creativity and inspiring people to greatness, even though we didn't know exactly how we were going to achieve that





Till date,  I still draw so much inspiration and life lessons from these great minds.  Many of them are very much alive today and are making major positive impact in the world. Some of these people are not as popular as you might think.
That's why I've embarked on this new project tagged "The Puzzle Series" with the hope that we can learn  from their personal experiences and also Pay it forward

Time Perspective 02: This is the story of a helpless woman who is about to become famous, but for the very wrong reasons.

We are all currently going through the coronavirus pandemic, and I can't help but ask the question of whether people have to choose between dying by the Virus or by other means? Means such as fear, hate, racism, ignorance or even starvation. Should there be a need for that question in the first place? World Nations casting aspersions on another, so much to blame on the topic of transparency, and world domination. The negligence of Health institutions. Conspiracy theories floating through the wind, here and there. After all is said and done, what do we make of all these? The idea of legacy may remind us of death, but it's not about death. Being reminded of death is actually a good thing, because death informs life. It gives you a perspective on what's important. It helps us decide the kind of life we want to live and the kind of world we want to live in. Leaving a legacy is a human need. It is in part selfish – we want to feel immortal. The idea of leav

"Eve" doesn’t have a race, color or hair type. Eve is a lifestyle every female lives unknowingly each day, making decisions and sharing her time, self and space with others not because she’s a slave but because she’s the mother of all living. "Eve" is who we are and what we stand for. She’s beautiful, in her flawlessly flawed natural state.

Through Experience - Characterizng our moments in History (Article) Part 1 of 2

You and I Iive knowing that we - and our loved ones - will eventually die. This shadow of death forces us to contemplate what to do with our fleeting time on Earth. Many choose religion to be saved through Faith.  Some even go as far as using Logic and Reasoning: by trying to understand ourselves and the world we inhabit. At the drop of a hat, how do we now possibly explain the root cause of Xenophobia? how do we react to the Xenophobic violence against foreigners (particularly other African Nationals) in South Africa? How should we behave and co-exist with one another? How can we  describe the state of coexistence amongst Africans, or Let me expand it a bit further: between Humans and Nature? Humans might have burned some parts of the Amazon for thousands of years, but the fire records analyzed indicate the scale of forest disturbance in the 21st century is probably unprecedented. Towards this end,  how do we digest our understanding of the world we
