Download or read book Que Sera Sera written by Lasekan Obasola and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-04-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Que Sera Sera! (Whatever will be, will be) is a lyric written by Jay Livingston in the 1950s and put to song by Doris Day. In my research for an appropriate word navigator, I found Que Sera Sera the most appropriate idiom to drive the engine of this unique story of dog-eats-dog! In essence, Que Sera Sera is a realistic story built on the pilgrimage of a girl-child, Iforiti (persistence), through the stormy waters of this desperate world of masculinity. It is the expository narrative of the hazardous navigation of the ocean of this world that infant girls had to waddle-paddle through in post-independent Africa. Ironically, such inhuman practice has not died completely as it is still prevalent, despite the advent of the jet age of today's hybrid world. Que Sera Sera is the story of the betrayal by the African Fatherhood of their infant daughters as epitomized by the duo of Ifarotimi and Aaye. The duo fathers conspired against the Almighty God's will for parenthood protection, nurturing, guardianship, and mentoring of their offspring. The two devil-incarnate genealogical fathers subjected their God's precious jewelled daughters, Iforiti, Taiwo and Kehinde, to draconic enslavement of trade by barter to the marital graveyard. The novel reveals the complex intricacies that be-devilled the survivalist practice of polygamy in Africa: the do-or-die struggle amongst the antagonistic-enslaved wives in the prison harems of Ifaro and Aaye! Closely knitted to this warfare are the deadly surrealistic competitive roles played by the satellite's immediate family members to swerve the orbiting poly-family off course. Mama, Aaye's elder sister, is a classic toxic example of the African devilishness in the book. Notwithstanding, the central theme of the novel, Que Sera Sera, is embedded in the aphorism (whatever will be, will be). The book is anchored in the school of thought that human existence is pre-ordained by the Almighty creator-God-pre-destination in consequence, that a man's life is in the hands of fate - not that of any man! The duo fathers, Ifaro and Aaye, supra-usurped the function of the Almighty God by exploiting the gender vulnerability of the tender feminine creatures under their tutelage in exchange for their own selfish enterprise. Unfortunately for the fathers, they were thunderstruck by the karma law of: Whatever a man soweth, he will surely reap. The duos were squarely nailed on the cross of poverty. The embryonic girls, very early in life, had a strong faith in their invisible creator, God, through religiosity and their innate abilities. This monumental attachment was acquired through their foliage-acquaintances with their mother, by their speeches, hard work, dexterity and forth righteousness. This was an exhibition of thorough, bred-motherhood-mien, despite the aura of domineering male ego haunting their world! The sub-theme of curiosity was another competent tool that navigated the girls through the labyrinth of their life ocean! The girls were struck with curiosity virus, unravelling the veils covering the fountain of knowledge through education encompassed in books, slates, speeches, songs, Christian hymns etc. Another sub-theme is their choice of the Tripod Prism of Marshal Triangle "∆" project cum 3Gs which landed them triumphantly on the shores of their dream and future. Their guardianship motto: In God we live; In work, we forage In education, our future is guaranteed! Was pursued with vigor! Que Sera Sera became the paddling tools for the girls to navigate through the man-infested stormy waters of life. By implication, everyone's life, be you a boy or girl, is PRIMARILY in the hands of the Almighty God (Fate) and SECONDARILY in his or her own hands! Our Fate is, therefore, in our own naked hands!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Michael can silence a crowd with his story of triumph over adversity. If you need a dash of hope or inspiration in your life right now, start reading.' Catriona Rowntree, bestselling author and host of Getaway MICHAEL CROSSLAND IS A SURVIVOR Everything Will Be OK is the awe-inspiring story of Michael's journey from enduring life-threatening cancer as a child, to representing Australia playing baseball in the USA, to becoming an accomplished businessman and a globally in-demand inspirational speaker, starting an orphanage in Haiti and taking national ambassador roles with many organisations including Camp Quality. When Michael was initially diagnosed as a child, his chances of survival were practically zero and by his second birthday doctors had reluctantly given up hope. Then one day he was offered one remote chance to fight back—placement in an experimental drug program. Against all odds, he survived. He was the only program participant to do so. But he didn't make it through unscathed. To this day he lives with permanent scars—a severely burnt lung, damaged heart, and an intensely sensitive immune system. In this stirring memoir, Michael shares his story of hardship and challenges that many of us wouldn't even dream of facing, and reveals how a steadfast mindset, genuine compassion, tireless drive, and unwavering optimism helped him to overcome even the strongest obstacles. It is a simple and enduring belief that everything will be OK.

Book excerpt: "I've learned that asking ourselves not just what we want to be, but who we want to be is important at every stage of our lives, not just when we're starting out in the world. That's because in a way, we're starting out fresh in the world every single day." Just Who Will You Be is a candid, heartfelt, and inspirational book for seekers of all ages. Inspired by a speech she gave, Maria Shriver's message is that what you do in your life isn't what matters. It's who you are. It's an important lesson that will appeal to anyone of any age looking for a life of meaning. In her own life, Shriver always walked straight down her own distinctive path, achieving her childhood goal of becoming "award-winning network newswoman Maria Shriver". But when her husband was elected California's Governor and she suddenly had to leave her job at NBC News, Maria was thrown for a loop. Right about then, her nephew asked her to speak at his high school graduation. She resisted, wondering how she could possibly give advice to kids, when she was feeling so lost herself. But in the end she relented and decided to dig down and dig deep, and the result is this little jewel. Just Who Will You Be reminds us that the answer to many of life's question lie within -- and that we're all works in progress. That means it's never too late to become the person you want to be. Now the question for you is this: Just who will you be?
