  So..., what's the best gift you've received today?  People get different gifts from different people on their special days. Birthday, graduation day, wedding, promotion, award, anniversary, name them.   Gift giving has assumed an accepted norm in our society and the crave inexaustible.  Gifts helps to create, build and maintain relationships.

It can be overwhelming and confusing at times, leaving us feeling lost and unsure of our place in the world. But it is precisely these challenges that give our lives meaning and purpose. In our daily lives, we face various issues that can seem insurmountable. We may struggle with our relationships, finances, health, or work. These issues can leave us feeling helpless and alone, as if we are the only ones going through them. But the truth is, we are not alone. Many people are going through similar struggles, and it is essential to remember that we can reach out to others for support.

Sometimes the music dies unceremoniously, when we are not prepared for it. It is at this that that your real capacity hidden in your personality comes bare. In all these period you thought you have or lacked the very abilities you possessed. You doubted them. there is what appears to be a new discovery of you, the inheritance, authorities, the beauty, capacity you only hoped begins to pour out like a pop and your reaction is that of surprise.  It is a beautiful thing that sometimes the music disappears uninformed. In the whole noise of the burstling and hostling of the day.
