*12 THINGS EVERYBODY SHOULD DO IN 2018*
*1. Pursue* something. Don't walk in the entire 365 days without having something particular in mind to achieve. Start a building project, buy a car, pay some school fees, start some job. Just do something!
*2. Walk* with people wiser or stronger than you. In 2018, surround yourself with people who will inspire you, who will make you feel you can do better, who will challenge you on.
...*3. Check* your dressing or appearance. Don't put on 'anything' just because it covers your nakedness. Your appearance tells a lot about you. Iron your dress neatly. Don't wear dresses in the name of fashion or trend . Wear more decent but fitting dresses. This is the slogan: Simple but Classy.
*4. Check* how you talk. Before you open your mouth, be minded of who you are talking to, where you are talking, when you are talking and also know that your integrity is at stake. In every situation, choose silence over speech unless you don't have any option.
*5. Visit* old people's home to appreciate them also orphanage and children in need of special care. Don't let them feel unwanted or neglected in the scheme of things.
*6. In 2018,* be more prayerful. You can't live your life thinking things occur merely logically. There's a Supreme Being who makes things happen, pray to him.
*7. In 2018,* start thinking or planning towards doing more for humanity.
*8. In 2018,* always think Positive while being Realistic. When you see tigers praying to God, don't join them. You can be positive that they won't 'chop' you since they are praying but be realistic too that after the prayers, they'll remain tigers and God will feed them with flesh.
*9. Buy*gifts for your love ones. In 2018, try and do something 'small' for parents . You have no idea what goes on in their minds Let them feel you are not far off
*10. In 2018,* Invest more, save less, spend less. Put your money into investment ventures. Buy T-bills, buy shares, buy fixed deposits, import some goods and sell, be a stock broker, etc. In fact, get more than one stream of income!
*11. Many known names have gone and live goes on. . The point is, don't work your life out. You won't take your work with you when you die. You are not as important as you think, calm down. Take time off work, go and do medical check-up, visit your family, visit gardens or the beach and appreciate nature, etc.
*12. After* reading, send this message to all your groups and contacts, it may be of help to someone.

IS KUYIK DEAD? There is always a time to tell people goodbye and others well-done, in your own case,i find it very difficult to say Goodbye and hard to say Well Done. This is because your death is most shocking and the pain that accompanies it, most excruciating. Our consolation is in the belief that "For death is but a passing phase of life,A change of dress,a disrobing.A birth into the unborn again,A commencing where we ended. A starting where we stopped to rest. A cross ...road of Eternity, A giving up of something,to possess all things.The end of the unreal,the beginning of the real".(Edwin Leibfreed). Late Mrs. Kuyik Ubong Esu nee Kuyik-Obong Godwin Amawo born on the 20th of August 1991 was an epitome of beauty and one with good family upbringing. Charming, charismatic, elegant, intelligent and godly best describe her. Once I was told that the world's greatest asset is buried at the cemetery. It never made sense to me until now. The mere thought that you will be lowered 6 ft tomorrow is agonizing and traumatic. But why now? We expected to hear the good news that you had brought forth the fruit of your marriage, yet, that was not to be. Too bad,you reportedly answered the final call in your sleep . Kuyik, we are saddened by your departure to the great beyond. We will miss your charming smiles, lovely company, intelligent contributions,and firm convictions. You told me that everyday was your birthday, however, today cannot be. Whatever the case may be, we will surely miss your company. We do cherish the time we shared. I cannot say goodbye or well done, all I can say is sleep on with your beautiful self, Ku Lady. Rest in Peace.
