     A very credible lesson I learnt and I just really want to share .    ur life can be likened to a glass jar . Put into the jar a pack of golf balls , next , pebbles , then sand , and lastly , pour into the jar a bottle of beer . Put this in the order they've been listed . First the golf balls , this just represents the really important things , things that matter to you : God , family , friends , goals , ambitions , name it ! Next goes the pebbles , they are the other things ,  you decide what they represent . The point is , they aren't as important as the golf balls in your life .      The sand goes in next , the sand represents the smaller things that really don't matter , those things you can always consider doing after you've achieved the bigger things .

CHAPTER THREE    There was a time when life was a bed of roses. A time of so much laughter, and happiness. A time when there was a father, a mother and two baby sisters whom he adored.

According to Yoruba myth, Dara, as she was often called by acquaintances, came out first, thereby making her the ' Kehinde ' while her twin, Lara, who came out few minutes after she did, was named ' Taiwo ' . They were not identical, but they could be traced to each other.    Lara was the younger of the twins, though she tended to show more maturity. It wasn't really difficult to tell the difference between the sisters. Anyone could see that Dara was not one to bottle up her feelings. She was outspoken, bold and fearless, and also very strict and principled. Anybody who dares inflict pain physically or emotionally on someone she regards as friend or family, would pay with their blood, although not literally. She was a fighter and an advocate in her own right.      Lara on the other hand was the total opposite of Dara. W...
