Here is another young writer hoping to get published in Naija Times.  Any comments?

Excerpt from 'what life teaches me'
A daily journal by ënexie

An old man told a younger man to design the plan of a  house.... the man looked at the old man and said '..am not an architect, i dont know how to draw a plan'. the old man looked at the man and  said '...am an architect, i will help you do it just tell me what you want in your house- everything you want in a house'. the man looked at the old man and said ' i dont even have a land, why  should i design a plan for a land i dont have yet'. then, the old  man said 'thats the point... you dont have a land yet but you will get one.. so, what are the things you will want in your house?' with this, the younger man started '.. i will like 7rooms in it, two sitting rooms.....' immediately, the old man gave the younger man a pen '...design it the way you want it'. all of a sudden, the man started designing, he drew the plan so beautifully...  when he was done, drawing... the old man took the plan and said '... its a beautiful house, but you have to be exact.... is this what you really want?' then the younger man replied '.. this is the structure of the house i have always dreamt of' .. then, the old man said '...if its what you want, you will get it- you just told me what you want in your house. as an architect, i will help you improve it and some things that are not fixed properly, i will fix it for you'.
That old architect is God and that young man is you.... you have been given a right, an opportunity to design your own life... it is not God that will design it for you, it is you! the only thing God does is make them right for you! and there's no such thing as fate or destiny controlling your life for you. the people that give in to fate are the people that has no plan for their life.
someone told me recently, if i drew the plan of my life and if destiny and fate alters it, there is no good in it, there are lots of good in it cos fate and destiny cant alter the plan you drew.... another person said 'we are not the one that draws the plan- it is God'. God will not come from heaven to draw a plan for you. its your plan, it is you that will draw it. No architect can draw the plan of your life better than you. God has given you  a pen to design it, God wont alter it- he will only make it more beautiful.

'i have a plan of my life, the way i want my life to be. but, things aint turning right for me' was the message i got from a lady. go back to that plan, check it very well, re-draw it. call the old architect's attention to it... tell the old architect to help you fix the deficient places. without the help of the old architect, you just drew nothing. always call the old architect's attention to it, without him, someone else will live the life you planned for yourself. start drawing it now, the earlier, the better! start designing this life, your life, your world, start designing it now.!!!!!
