"EMBER" MONTHS SYNDROME.
There was a popular belief while i was growing up, which was that accidents occur much more in the latter part of the year. This occurence was believed to be due to an increase in the activities of witches and evil spirits generally, probably cos they wanted to meet their target for the year:-)
These latter months of the year are tagged "ember" months.
I'm convinced however, that no one reading this article holds this belief.The rate of accidents do increase i agree, but not due to the above reason. I decided to use the above analogy to make a point to the corporate professional, the business owner/entrepreneur, the single guy/lady and the married.
Some of us had BIG, HEFTY, AUDACIOUS goals at the beginning of the year but are presently far from achieving them, some are presently in a hurry to meet deadlines, some are even threatening to turn their backs on God if he doesn't give them a husband/wife/child or at least, begin the process before this year runs. Some however, have placed themselves under tremendous pressure to make a financial target which they'll blow during xmas and be dead broke by the first week of January. Another group of people have presently assumed a position of self pity, "Was i really supposed to be in this world? This year is over and i'm still as broke & lonely as before, am i the only one......?
So much for different categories of people. You can choose which of these you belong, and if it doesn't look like yours is here, then watch out for the continuation of this article. Ciao!
