As a recruit, did as expected. No more or less, just enough. Didn't please my sergeant, Yet who gave a damn. In three months you'd be fighting An enemy who didn't give a cow's ass How you did in basic training Or if the sergeant liked you. Survival is by instinct and experience. Can't blame an over zealous sergeant, As his job is to toughen you up. And the more you disliked him, pleased him.

INTERESTING TACTICS THAT WORK IN MOST SITUATIONS THAT IS GEARED TOWARDS TEACHING AND GETTING THE MESSAGE ACROSS. I SAY THIS BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT I'VE LEARNED THE MOST AND ACQUIRED THE MOST SKILLS WHEN I WAS TAUGHT BY A TEACHER THAT I DIDN'T PARTICULARLY LIKE AND I CAME TO APPRECIATE THIS TYPE OF INSTRUCTOR. THERE WAS NO PLAYING AROUND...NO TIME FOR 'LIKING' THEM. I RESPECTED THEM AND LEARNED FROM THEM...WELL. AND YES, IT'S CALLED...LEARNING TO SURVIVE. I THANK GOD FOR THEM. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Survival is an instict we're all born with. It's fight or flight, and I can run fast when scared.

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
