Bra Ghana Teaser Released!

Hi guys, this is the teaser for the upcoming Bra Ghana comic... hope you enjoy!




Accra by night


Hi peoples,


For you unbelievers, this is a picture of Accra at night. Or is it very early morning … ah well same difference. Sometimes when you see our beloved capital city in the middle of the night and it looks this beautiful you tend to forget that ECG has cut your power, the roads don’t have lights and the open gutters are waiting for your car, or that bola is strewn all over the place and hawkers try to shove their Asian wares into your car. you might even forget that when it rains, many roads become inaccessible or that ques are the order of the day from banks to waakye sellers. Well at least for a few minutes.

Anyhowly, I just wanted to share this picture with everyone.

Enjoy!

WORK it out!

What come to mind when you hear the word “work”. Usually things like …”long hours”, “annoying superiors”, “low pay”, “I hate Mondays”, “oh how I wish it was Friday”, “I do all the work and everyone else just checks out Facebook”.  I know I have said some of these things now and then, but does work really have to be so annoying?

What happened to having a passion and following through with it to the bitter end? It seems sometimes we give up on our dreams because we are not making enough money from it and rather go to work at a bank (no offence to bankers … this is just an example) to make money instead and end up becoming unhappy with what we do. And since we spend a majority of our weekdays, and some of us our weekends as well, we end up being unhappy for a large percentage of our lives.

Now since we are the “cool” generation for the time being, (at least until the skinny-jean-wearing-mohawk-headed teenagers catch on to reality) I think we should not forget what makes us tick. If you are good at something develop it. It doesn’t mean you should turn all your hobbies into business ventures or you might just run out of lives like a cat at sea, but rather don’t let anything you are good at go to waste.

God blessed us with so many talents we just need to figure out what ours is. Excuse me, please remember that talents are not limited to singing, dancing, acting and playing instruments. A talent (according to some internet dictionary I googled up a few seconds ago) is a natural ABILITY or QUALITY and sometimes can be thought of as an unusual innate ability in some field or activity. So if you are an extremely talkative person, according to the definition you are a talented talker. Now there is no one who does not have a talent, to prove this many people are talented depressionists, all you need to do is sit down and ask yourself a few questions;

What do I like doing?
What do I do naturally when left alone?
What things do I do without putting in much effort (and succeed in of course)?

Ask yourself these things and a couple more that you can think up yourself and you will soon be able to realize what your natural qualities are. I hear knowing your temperament also helps with these things. Now when you finally figure out what some of your talents are (please figure them out before continuing reading this semi-informative and semi-ill-thought-through post). You can find ways of improving yourself in those areas. You never know, maybe a great business idea will pop up based on the strengthening of one of your talents and if you work on it and start making money, hey! Hakuna matata, you be working and loving it at the same time.

But back to my original train of though. I think we should all change our attitudes to work and stop thinking of it at a CHORE and more of a SERVICE, attitude is everything, if we all take our jobs seriously and have a great positive attitude towards work, life will become easier for all of us.

For example if all those NDC supporters who were cheering our Honorable President pick up a piece of paper went to work that day, I would not have had to sit in traffic for hours.

I have run out of things to write and its almost 2 am. Sianora.
Anyway, have a great time at work next week. Attack it with a smile!
