: About Me

I am a SHE professional in the Mining Industry. I have been writing for my own pleasure for many years. I have not had anything published as I did not want to submit my works to publishers. I have now decided to give more time to my writing because I feel that it is a large part of who I am. I have a strong belief in the education of an individual and I believe that one is never too old to learn new things and educate oneself. I believe that learning is a lifelong and never-ending process and one should never stop one's education because one feels they know enough. No matter how much you think you know, every turn in the road of life opens up possibilities for new knowledge. Life is a journey we all go through, some have a short journey and some a long journey. No matter how long or short the journey, along the way, there is always someone to teach us new things, parents, teachers, siblings, spouses, friends, pets, etc. All of these has a lesson to teach. It is up to us whether we want to learn it. I don't miss any opportunity which comes my way if it will teach me something new. Knowledge is power, and power, if used in the correct context, can be a heady sensation!

THE ANT AND THE LION Once upon a time, in the African jungle, there lived an elephant and a lion. They were the best of friends and took care of all the other animal's safety. The lion was the king in this jungle. The lion sat under a tree all day and watched over the herds of animals which grazed in the jungle, while the elephant strolled among them and listened to their news. One day, Giraffe told Elephant that he had heard that there was a new king of the jungle and he wondered if Lion knew about it. Worried, Elephant asked Giraffe who the new king was. "It is Mr. Ant," said Giraffe. El...
