A former colleague once told me a story of a wealthy doctor whose car hit a street kid whilst driving around town. The streetkid was so badly injured that he needed medical attention. Acting in speed, the doctor took this kid, put him in his car and rushed him to the nearest hospital. Feeling bad about what had happened, the doctor paid all the medical bills and made sure the boy was well taken care of. Eventually, the boy recovered and was to be discharged. So the doctor asked him if he had anywhere to go or a place to stay after being discharged. Upon realizing that the child had no home, the Doctor invited the child to stay with him in his beautiful mansion. That way he could monitor his recovery and continue paying for any medication that was needed. The doctor went a step further, gave him the best food, bought him beautiful shoes, clothes and even got him a haircut. See, over time he grew close to the boy and made the decision to adopt him as his own child. This meant that he wou

THE ARGUMENT I'm sure we all agree that 2020 has been one hell of a year. Many found themselves jobless, whilst some even lost their loved ones, relationships took a knock and staying indoors has taken its toll. All this compounded with life's everyday challenges could have a devastating impact on one's mental health.  Cheery or CheerApp is a platform designed for anyone who is either having a bad day, feeling sad or going through some stuff. Many are aware of the need to stay healthy, but oftentimes we focus on the physical, and neglect our mental health. It takes a great deal of self awareness to understand one's reality and take appropriate action to control it. So whilst some might reach out for help, the majority tends to lack an effective coping mechanism and they suffer silently alone. This affects their concentration and consequently their performance in all aspects of life. Over time, sadness, anxiety and paranoia evolves into depression, schizophrenia and a ho

Some years back, I attended a friend's wedding. As we enjoyed the proceedings, the DJ kept us entertained with some of the sweetest music. Sometime into the proceedings, the DJ made a very critical musical blunder and ruined a perfect moment by playing the wrong song. I'm sure many didnt notice.... but I did. Guess which song he played? It was Tamia's rendition of Careless whisper. It's a beautiful song, but at that moment, it was a horrible choice. I could clearly tell he was oblivious to his mistake, but the lyrics to that song are of regret and a love gone wrong. So instead of being a celebration of love, such a song adds a whole new dimension to what is meant to be a beautiful occasion. Maybe I'm the only one, but have you noticed how most of the sweetest love songs seem to be tainted by infidelity? Not to sound righteous or anything, but the theme is always: "my partner ain't around, and you look fine" or "I'll do you better than your par
