KEEP RIGHT ON



Far back in secondary school, my teachers, who were Irish nuns, taught us this inspirational Scottish song written and composed by Harry Lauder & William Dillon in 1924. I want you to be uplifted and encouraged by the lyrics. 

KEEP RIGHT ON TO THE END OF THE ROAD

Every road through life is a long, long road
Filled with joys and sorrows too
As you journey on how your heart will yearn
For the things most dear to you
With wealth and love 'tis so
But onward we must go.
....................
Chorus:

Keep right on to the end of the road
Keep right on to the end
Though the way be long, let your heart be strong
Keep right on round the bend
Though you're tired and weary still journey on
Till you come to your happy abode
Where all the love you've been dreaming of
Will be there at the end of the road.
.....................

With a big stout heart to a long steep hill
We may get there with a smile
With a good kind thought and an end in view
We may cut short many a mile
So let courage every day
Be your guiding star always.

Chorus:

HOW TO MINIMISE STRESS IN YOUR LIFE

Many young people daily live stressful lives. Mentally and physically, they are tasked everyday to the point of exhaustion. The period of one's youth should be lived buoyant and invigorated. Youth is synonymous to zeal and zest, so, it is abnormal for a youth to be constantly uninspired, unimaginative, spiritless, tired and dull. Teenagers are facing more stress in today's world than adults did. Pressures to excel academically and meet up with the increasing high marks for university or other college admissions. Students are worried about their social status, judging themselves by the excessive importance placed on social media popularity. They must have more 'friends and followers' than the next mate. There is the constant pressure of 'belonging' which a teen faces. Also, stressors could come from family members, romantic relationships, excessive competition in sports and other recreational activities. The list goes on.  One of our readers told me h...

TEENS AND DEPRESSION

By Kirsten OKENWA We know you; you like to frown your face and appear uninterested in all that happens at home or school. You lock yourself in your room, or, you hide in a corner all by yourself, just doing your own thing. Sometimes you are overwhelmed by feelings of sadness and a general apathy for life.  You are not alone. Teenagers the world over have emotional issues. Some are worse than the others. That is not to say that teens are an unhappy bunch; you just have your moments. We get concerned when these 'moments ' are affecting your relationships, joy, school work and zest for life. Teens should be vibrant and positive, full of energy and curiosity. But, when you are often sad and disillusioned over family problems, school challenges, or mistakes you made, it is time to seek help. You must not suffer alone for the world is on your side. You are special and precious to the society, with so much to give. Think about all the young people like you doing big things, or j...

RAGING HORMONES

I read this enlightening article at  http://www.newportacademy.com/teenage-hormones-and-sexuality/ . As you click on the above link, you will be inspired and informed about yourself, and why you act the way you do. An excerpt below: If you’re a teenager, you’re no stranger to the power of hormones. Starting as early as age 7 or 8, your body begins to produce the hormones that are responsible for the changes of puberty. Teenage hormones are the chemicals that cause the physical growth and sexual development that will carry you through your teens and into adulthood. As these substances take hold of your body, you’ll notice that your emotions, moods and sexual feelings are much stronger. You may also feel more impulsive and more inclined to take risks, like   experimenting with drugs or alcohol , driving without a license or having unsafe sex.  Peer pressure, low self-esteem and hormonal surges can lead you to take chances that could have a negative effect on yo...
