  • His Wife Abandoned Him and their Twin Girls, Unaware they will Later Become Billionaires

    The little girls cried loudly as her mother threw them on the bed and began packing her clothes into a bag. Her face was tight with anger like someone ready to fight the whole world. Mr. Peter, her husband, said gently, "The babies are crying. They need their mother." But Linda answered in a cold and sharp voice, "They are no longer my concern.
    I'm leaving you." She continued stuffing her clothes into the bag without looking at him. Please don't go, Peter begged. If not for me, then stay for the sake of these innocent children God gave us. Linda turned to him and snapped. I didn't marry you to suffer. Since you can't give me the life I want. I'm done.
    Don't come looking for me. As for the babies, do whatever you want with them. I don't care. She paused, twisted her lips bitterly, and added, "To be honest, I don't even care if they live or die." With that, she zipped up her bag and stormed out of the house, slamming the door hard behind her.
    Everything had once been peaceful between Peter and his wife. But things changed the day he lost his job. Since then, Linda had been threatening to leave. She complained about everything. The small room they moved into, the plain food they had to eat. Peter kept begging her, not just because he loved her, but for the sake of their little daughters, Mary and Naomi, who were just 3 months old, but Lyndon never listened. Mr.
    Peter carried the babies in his arms and gently cuddled them. Though they kept crying, he rocked them back and forth until they slowly calmed down. As he looked at their innocent faces, his heart grew heavy, but his voice was firm. I may not have money to give you the best life, he whispered. But I promise I will be the best father in the whole world to you.
    He kept rocking them softly and not long after the twin girls drifted off to sleep. The next morning came with hunger and worry.

  • This evening I planned to meet with Jeremy's mother the moment I returned from work.

    His mum goes out very early in the morning and comes back late at night. Since it was about to rain heavily, I felt the mum would have returned home earlier today.

    So when I got back home this evening, I changed and headed straight for an eatery to buy some snacks for Jeremy. I bought an extra plate for the mother as well. I took these snacks and went to the house to knock.

    Jeremy was the one who opened the door when I knocked. He paused like he had seen a ghost. Then he glanced back and returned his gaze to me and whispered.

    "Dad."

    I whispered back.

    "Jeremy."

    Is your mummy in?"

    "Yes. She just came back."

    "Tell her I want to see her."

    He froze for a moment. I could see fear in his eyes.

    "Will you be in trouble?" I asked.

    He nodded his head.

    I understood his fear. I knew he was scared of his mother's reaction. Especially as she had already warned him about me.

    Just as I was about to turn back, his mother showed up at the door and opened the curtain. She must have heard my voice when I was talking with Jeremy.

    She pushed Jeremy behind her and the boy just went inside.

    "Good evening."

    "What do you want?"

    "I came to talk with you and I also brought some snacks and food for you and for Jeremy too. I stopped by the eatery."

    Jeremy was peeping through the window and I could see his face.

    "Did Jeremy tell you we were hungry?"

    "No...no. Not at all. I just wanted to see you and discuss with you. So I felt I shouldn't come empty-handed. I thought of what to get and believe me this was the best thing I could come up with."

    "We are not hungry, sir. We just ate dinner not long ago."

    I nodded.

    "Can I come in. So we talk?"

    "About what?"

    "Ummm... I understand you do not know me that well. I am your neighbor. I stay just over there. Jeremy and I have been friends and I met him once when I gave him a lift to school and since then I have been giving him lifts to school."

    "Are you a driver?"

    "No... I am a writer and script writer and I work for an establishment as well."

    "So since you are not a driver why are you interested in giving him a lift?"

    "I just... I mean since we go out together in the morning and I... Madam listen. Jeremy is a nice boy and I have seen him as my son as well as you have. I just wanted you to understand..."

    "Jeremy is not looking for a father. If he were I would have shown him where his father is. Please stay clear from my son. Please."

    She entered the house and shut the door angrily. For a moment I felt embarassed and useless.

    Jeremy waved at me and I waved back. I do not know if he was saying sorry or saying goodnight to me. But before I could wave back, his mother forcefully dragged him away from the window.

    I felt bad.

    I turned and left.

    On my way home, I got beaten by the rain. My clothes were drentched. It was as if the heavens were in agreement with her.

    I do not know if to stay off or try one more time.

    I do not know at all

  • What will humans be doing in 10 years?

    1. In a decade most people will not be driving. What will we do instead?

    2. In a decade most people will have robots in their businesses and probably their homes.

    3. In a decade we won't be looking at 2D monitors much anymore.

    4. In a decade we will be using a ton of brain/computer interfaces to work and play.

    5. In a decade AI will be making us all more productive, and, even, happier. It will be reporting our news. It will be running our businesses. It will be helping us with our health. It will be helping us build. It will help us design new things, new products, new ideas, new lifestyles, new experiences.

    6. In a decade we will still be needed to work, but on new things that are hard to imagine today.

    7. In a decade we will have dozens of virtual beings in our lives. And your AI will bring new ones into your life depending on your goals. Want to learn Spanish? A new group will show up that are different than the group that will show up if you want to learn Chemistry.

    8. In a decade new brain/computer interfaces will be here, and will merge humans with AIs in many ways.

    9. In a decade our corporate structures will change to be a hybrid of humans and AIs working together.

    10. In a decade a robot will attend our city council meetings and report to us about what's going on inside.

    11. In a decade we won't use applications, like we do today on our iPhones. We will have a singular user interface. On Star Trek you just said "computer do this" and it did. Star Trek will be real in a decade.

    12. In a decade we will have armies of robots and drones moving around our cities doing everything from deliveries to giving tours to tourists.

    13. In a decade we still will have artists and storytellers, but they will be assisted by AIs to help make that art, and tell that story. AI's will gather other AIs who will warn the humans that someone is telling an interesting story.

    14. In a decade AIs will still be asking humans for assistance. "Hey human can you get a better view of the house that's on fire across the street?"

    15. In a decade AIs are assisting humans in coming up with new medical and material breakthroughs. Even designing new computing architectures, whether Quantum, or silicon, or biological, or a hybrid of all three or even something even newer.

  • 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗮 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.

    Relationships don’t fail because love died. They fail because people got stuck in a stage and didn’t grow through it.

    Here’s a breakdown of the 𝟲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽, and what each one demands from you:

    𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟭: 𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 (𝟬–𝟯 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀)
    When everything feels magical — but most of it is fantasy.
    • Intense attraction and excitement
    • Constant communication and longing
    • Idealization: seeing them as perfect
    • You’re falling fast — but not deep yet

    Enjoy the spark, but don’t mistake it for a foundation.

    𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟮: 𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 (𝟯–𝟲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀)
    The butterflies turn into bonding.
    • Emotional connection deepens
    • Affection and physical intimacy increase
    • Shared experiences grow
    • You feel “in love”

    Chemistry starts it, but connection sustains it.

    𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟯: 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗖𝗞 (𝟲–𝟭𝟮 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀)
    Love now has a mirror — and it shows the truth.
    • Flaws, habits, and differences emerge
    • Disagreements surface
    • Your ability to communicate is tested
    • Love becomes a choice, not just a feeling

    This stage makes or breaks the relationship. Grow, or it cracks.

    𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟰: 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗖𝗬 & 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗦𝗧 (𝟭–𝟮 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀)
    You’re either building something solid — or drifting apart.
    • Emotional vulnerability increases
    • Deeper understanding and acceptance
    • Shared values and life goals become clear
    • Security and trust replace uncertainty

    Safety, not spark, builds intimacy.

    𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟱: 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗠𝗜𝗧𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 (𝟭–𝟱 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀)
    Now it’s about the life you’re building, not just the love you’re feeling.
    • Long-term decisions are made together
    • Responsibilities are shared
    • You face life’s seasons as a team
    • Love feels rooted

    Love is not something you feel every day, it’s something you choose every day.

    𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝟲: 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗪𝗧𝗛 & 𝗘𝗩𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 (𝟱+ 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀)

    It’s no longer just about staying together — it’s about growing together.
    • Personal and relational growth
    • Navigating change and life challenges
    • Deep companionship and peace
    • Reinventing love in each season

    Great relationships evolve, they don’t stay where they started.

    𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻
    You don’t need a 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽.
    You need two people 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲.

    Don’t quit at the hard parts. That’s where most love stories lose their plot.

  • Title: Zayd and the Ember Gate

    Zayd had always been a wanderer.

    Unlike Adira, who was bound to the forest by fate, Zayd had no ties, no prophecy etched in stars. He roamed from village to village, his boots worn thin, his pack carrying only essentials: a journal, a compass that never pointed north, and a rusted coin given to him by a woman who spoke in riddles.

    He didn’t believe in magic—at least not in the way most people did. To him, magic was in the way a blacksmith coaxed a blade from molten metal, or how a storyteller could stir an entire room with nothing but words.

    But that changed the day he stumbled upon the Ember Gate.

    It was buried deep in the Ashen Wastes, a forgotten desert that whispered secrets through the bones of ancient ruins. He hadn’t meant to find it—he was tracking a mirage, or so he thought. But the gate was very real: a massive archway carved from blackened stone, pulsing faintly with embers trapped within.

    On its surface, an inscription burned in a language he didn’t know—but somehow understood.

    “The fire remembers the lost.”

    When he touched it, the gate flared to life, and for the first time in his life, Zayd heard something beyond his own thoughts. A voice, old and aching.

    “You are the Flamebearer. Will you remember us?”

    Before he could respond, the world shifted. Heat surged around him—not burning, but awakening. His eyes saw a different realm, for only a heartbeat: a city of fire suspended in twilight, towers made of living coals, and people of flame walking among shadows.

    Then, silence. The vision faded, and the gate was dark again. But something had changed.

    Zayd’s right hand bore a faint mark—like the outline of a burning sun.

    He didn’t know what it meant. Not yet. But he had a feeling the coin in his pack wasn’t just old metal, the compass wasn’t broken, and his wandering was never aimless.

    He had been chosen.

    #Not by destiny.
    #Not by prophecy.
    #But by the forgotten.

  • 1. Change Your Money Mindset

    To escape poverty, you must first believe it's possible.
    Many people are raised to think that wealth is for others—not them.
    That mindset keeps them stuck.

    What to Do:

    • Begin affirming wealth and abundance daily.
    • Read mindset-changing books like Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill or The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker.
    • Replace negative money thoughts ("I’ll always be broke") with positive ones ("I am building wealth step by step").

  • Title: Adira and Zayd: The Flame and the Echo

    Adira had always known the forest, its whispers, and its balance. Since childhood, the trees and winds had guided her, giving her a purpose she had never questioned. She had been the Keeper of Echoes for years now, protecting the realm from the unseen chaos that sought to break its harmony. But despite the wisdom the forest had bestowed upon her, a nagging sense of something missing lingered in her heart.

    She had always wondered about her past—about her family. The village had raised her, and the elders had never spoken much of her lineage. The only thing she knew for sure was that she was bound to the forest, born during the rare lunar eclipse. But the stories she had heard spoke of one other child, one born under the same eclipse, whose fate was unknown.

    Zayd, on the other hand, had lived a life of freedom, roaming the lands without purpose or direction. He was a wanderer, a seeker of truths that didn’t exist in maps or legends. His only companions were the whispers in the wind and the journal he kept, filled with the fragments of forgotten places and ancient memories. Zayd’s life was unmarked by magic—at least, until the day he found the Ember Gate in the Ashen Wastes.

    The gate was an anomaly in the desert, a towering archway made of blackened stone, pulsing with hidden energy. Zayd had felt it before he saw it, an invisible pull that seemed to draw him closer. When his hand brushed the surface, the gate had activated, filling his vision with a city made of fire, its towers flickering like coals beneath a twilight sky. Then, the voice had come—old, aching, and full of fire.

    "You are the Flamebearer. Will you remember us?"

    Zayd didn't understand what it meant, but he felt a strange stirring within himself, like an ember reigniting after years of cold.

    It was then that the mark appeared—like a faint outline of a burning sun on his right hand. And in that moment, Zayd knew that his wandering had led him here for a reason. He wasn’t just a traveler. He was bound to something greater, something ancient.

    Back in the forest, Adira felt it too. The winds had changed, the trees had murmured a different name. It was a name she had never heard but felt in her bones: Zayd. Her heart ached as though she were being pulled in two directions at once.

    The forest had always been her guide, but now it seemed to be telling her something more. She had been born for the balance between worlds, but now, the forest whispered of another—someone who shared her blood, someone who was her counterpart.

    Adira stood at the edge of the forest, feeling the pull of destiny. The balance between realms was shifting, and she could feel a new presence on the horizon—someone who, like her, was touched by magic.

    Their Meeting:

    Zayd’s journey brought him to the outskirts of the village. The wind carried with it a familiar scent, something that reminded him of the fire that had burned within him since the day of the Ember Gate. As he walked toward the forest, the trees seemed to part for him, guiding him deeper into their embrace.

    And then he saw her—Adira, standing like a figure made of the forest itself. Her hair, wild and dark as the roots of the trees, moved with the wind as if it were alive. Her eyes, though filled with a deep wisdom, held something else—a recognition, a knowing.

    "You..." Zayd whispered, stepping forward.

    Adira’s heart skipped a beat. She had never seen him before, yet she knew him. The forest had told her of him. He was her brother, her younger brother , born under the same eclipse. The Flamebearer. The one who would help restore balance.

    "You’re not a dream," she said softly. "You’re real."

    Zayd smiled faintly. "I was wondering when we’d meet."

    The world around them seemed to hold its breath as if the very earth had been waiting for this moment. Adira stepped closer, her hand instinctively reaching out, and Zayd did the same. The moment their hands touched, the air hummed with energy, like two forces coming together to complete something long lost.

    "Fate brought us together," Adira said, her voice steady with newfound certainty. "We are the balance—fire and earth, flame and echo."

    Zayd nodded, his hand still resting in hers. "The Ember Gate opened for me. It told me I was the Flamebearer. But you... you were the one it called to, weren’t you?"

    Adira nodded. "The forest has always called me. But now, it calls to us both."

    Together, they were more than they could ever be alone. The balance was shifting, and with it, the fate of the world rested on their shoulders. They were siblings born of fire and forest, and together, they would protect both.

    Title: Adira and Zayd: The Flame and the Echo Adira had always known the forest, its whispers, and its balance. Since childhood, the trees and winds had guided her, giving her a purpose she had never questioned. She had been the Keeper of Echoes for years now, protecting the realm from the unseen chaos that sought to break its harmony. But despite the wisdom the forest had bestowed upon her, a nagging sense of something missing lingered in her heart. She had always wondered about her past—about her family. The village had raised her, and the elders had never spoken much of her lineage. The only thing she knew for sure was that she was bound to the forest, born during the rare lunar eclipse. But the stories she had heard spoke of one other child, one born under the same eclipse, whose fate was unknown. Zayd, on the other hand, had lived a life of freedom, roaming the lands without purpose or direction. He was a wanderer, a seeker of truths that didn’t exist in maps or legends. His only companions were the whispers in the wind and the journal he kept, filled with the fragments of forgotten places and ancient memories. Zayd’s life was unmarked by magic—at least, until the day he found the Ember Gate in the Ashen Wastes. The gate was an anomaly in the desert, a towering archway made of blackened stone, pulsing with hidden energy. Zayd had felt it before he saw it, an invisible pull that seemed to draw him closer. When his hand brushed the surface, the gate had activated, filling his vision with a city made of fire, its towers flickering like coals beneath a twilight sky. Then, the voice had come—old, aching, and full of fire. "You are the Flamebearer. Will you remember us?" Zayd didn't understand what it meant, but he felt a strange stirring within himself, like an ember reigniting after years of cold. It was then that the mark appeared—like a faint outline of a burning sun on his right hand. And in that moment, Zayd knew that his wandering had led him here for a reason. He wasn’t just a traveler. He was bound to something greater, something ancient. Back in the forest, Adira felt it too. The winds had changed, the trees had murmured a different name.
