CHRONICLES OF LADY AVA: THE INEVITABLE



"You cannot prepare enough for the inevitable." — Ava

Some things in life are inevitable, and we often recognize them. That is why it is common wisdom to prepare for the inevitable, to do all you can so that when it happens, you are not caught off guard.

However, Ava argues that no matter how much preparation is put in place, when the inevitable occurs, you will still feel its impact.

So why prepare at all if the impact is unavoidable? Ava explains that the purpose of preparation is to mitigate the situation. Without it, things could be far worse.

Imagine two people going to war, Mr. A and Mr. B. Mr. A is equipped with the right weapons, while Mr. B has none. Both will likely sustain injuries on the battlefield, but Mr. A’s chances of survival are significantly higher. Meanwhile, Mr. B would be left completely vulnerable, possibly even killed outright.

So yes, I agree with Ava. Preparation only gives an edge. The inevitable remains the inevitable.

Dearest reader, have you ever prepared for something important, only to realize at the last minute that there were so many things you had not considered?

Life happens and the inevitable befalls us. However, our level of preparation can make all the difference. So while we cannot fully escape the inevitable, we can still prepare, because preparation, no matter how incomplete, is better than none at all.

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
