  *sips tea*...mmmm..tastes so freaking good. Good morning Fam! How is everyone doing today? Hope everyone is doing great and is prepared for the new day. I want to thank every single person that took out time to read and to comment on my blog post yesterday, I swear you guys amaze me with the kind of love you throw my way. I just really hope i'm able to reciprocate when the time comes. You all are so wonderful and I pray for more and more blessings each and every day for every single one of you. I am really grateful to you all. Both those that read and didn't comment but felt some sympathy and to those who took their time to let me know how much they feel my pain. Thanks everyone....

Well...Let's gulp down this coffee before it gets cold!

  Hello and Good morning to you all. It's been  while since I came on this space. I hope everyone is doing okay. I had to put this post under the morning coffee column because I had already missed the window to wish you guys a happy new month on the first of this month. However this is still kind of a Happy new month message.

It's been tough, it really has been. I've been through a lot these past weeks, a whole lot more than I actually care to share. I guess the bad and negatives around us would keep coming up but it's up to us to look to the good and positives for the motivation we need. I just want to say that no matter where you are, no matter what you are doing, no matter who you are, you are going to be okay. Things are going to go your way and if they aren't already going your way it would only be a matter of time before they do.

I wish you all a Happy new Month. I hope for the best for all of you this month and always. Have a lovely day...

Top of the Morning to you and yours! How is everyone doing this beautiful Friday Morning? Hope you guys are getting ready to go crazy this evening. You know we don't miss out on any Friday night groove over here at AskRalph family. So hurry up and finish up your work on time, sleep early and if possible in the afternoon so that you can wake up revitalized and ready for the evening. That way you won't take all the stress from work into the fun time you are meant to be having this evening.

Hello and good morning everyone! Well something interesting actually happened this morning. I turned up to work early, isn't that just great! Even after everything that happened last night I still managed to show up early to work. Boss was a little surprised and I was just happy to disappoint him. Lol.

So it's a new day and there are new opportunities out there. Always remember that it just takes one extra step from where you stopped the last time to record an improvement. So just as the cup above is advising you, get up and attack the day with enthusiasm. You are closer to your goal today than you might actually realize. Do not give up today, do not slow down, instead make an effort to make an improvement today.

Always remember "An inch more is better than nothing more". Keep pushing hard and you will the results of your hustle. Happy Monday!

Morning Coffee

Booyah! I come alive on Fridays! Good morning Fam! Do you know why I am so excited? Well I think you guys already know, I mean, it's Friday, A.k.a the most awesome day of the week, A.k.A Turn up A.k.A the proper day to Thank God A.k.A Boomshakalaka! So why in the world would I not be excited. I know I have been on and off a whole lot lately and it really got me thinking that maybe that's why I didn't win the last Nigerian blog Awards. Probably if I had gone for the category of laziest blogger I might have stood a chance. Who knows, I might even be too lazy to check the results of that one. Lol...

So It's Friday and as I said earlier in the week, just try and do something different today. Go to the movies, go to the swimming pool, go out of your way and do something you don't often do or something you haven't done before. Either way just do it with your friends and you will see how fun it's going to be.

The coffee cup today is advising you to take a load off and take it slow. Well you know that you have to listen to the cup so like a speeding car, gradually slow down the stressful aspect of your week until you come to a final halt. Then you can accelerate full speed into the fun part of the weekend.

Have a lovely weekend guys..TGIF!

Morning Coffee

Good morning fam and anyone else reading. How are you this morning. You see the writing beside that cup? I want you to take it very seriously. You know why? I'll tell you why of cos...

The world is suffering from an epidemic, a disease that has been around since the beginning of time.  We underestimate the power of this disease and yet, it's destroying lives all over the world. It's ending careers, destroying homes and families and relationships of all sorts. It's very deadly, the worst part of it all is that we are all carrying it in us. We all have it in our blood and once in a while we contribute to spreading this disease without even knowing it. What is the name of this disease you ask? It's Negativity....

   Top of the morning to everyone on this space. Hope you all are doing good today. Happy new Month to you, you and you! Now I know it's coming late but you know what they say, better late than never. I had some personal business to take care of that kept me out again so once again and as usual, I would like to apologize for my absence. Balancing everything out is becoming a real task but i'll always keep trying my very best.

This month I want to wish each and everyone of you the best in your individual endeavors and struggles. Keep being strong, stay focused and dedicated, be very persistent and with time you will achieve everything you have dreamed of. You can be all you can be if you just trust and believe in your abilities.

Happy new Month once again everyone! Have a great day!

Morning Coffee

Hello and Good morning everyone. How are you all doing. We are on a countdown people, we just have 2 days to go till the end of the month! Hope you are getting prepared for August!

You know what I dislike in life? Negativity!...Like I really hate people who are negative. I also dislike it when people hate on you without you actually knowing what you did to them. What's even worse than that is when you ask for an explanation and they don't provide it. Crazy stuff....Anyways, we can't let things like that hold us down can we? Let me tell you today that the most important thing is what's in your heart. Do you have a pure heart? Do you do the things you do for the best of reasons and without any intention of hurting anyone? If you do then just forget what people might think of you. People will always think negatively of you no matter how good you try to be. It doesn't stop you from being that good person you want to be. You just have to learn to ignore them, let them do what they can, believe what they want and act the way the want. The less attention you pay to their ignorance, the better for you...

Alright then time to swallow this coffee before it get's cold. Quickly people let's do this!...

Morning Coffee

*inhales deeply*...You've  just gotta love the smell of fresh coffee in the morning. It just comes with this aroma that says "new opportunity to do it right". That is exactly what this morning is, it's an opportunity for you to correct the mistakes of yesterday. But before we dive into the topic of the morning which is about daily self improvement of course, let's give honor to whom honor is due....lol. Who started their debates in high school like that? Accurate time keeper and all that...

Good morning Fam! How is everyone doing this morning. Hope you all got the much needed rest after what I know must have been a hectic Monday. I've been thinking and you know, I feel It's really good that Mondays come with a rush. Regardless of the fact that we hate that sudden wake up call after a short rest from the weekend. It's that rush that gives us the boost we need to kick start the week.

Anyway, let's quickly down this morning coffee... Oh, did you notice I've started replying comments again. I'm awesome like that....Alright moving on

     Top of the morning to you all from Ralph here. How was the weekend, hope you guys had a good one! Guess what people? This is the last week of the month, this is the last Monday of the month of July and after this week we are diving straight into the 8th month of the year! How time flies right? It seems like it was only just yesterday that I wished you guys happy new year on the blog and asked everyone to drop their wishes for the new year. Crazy stuff huh? Well... speaking about wishes. So far, how is your goal for the month and year coming? Have you made progress or have you remained stagnant? Have you made significant improvements since the beginning of the year or have you been crawling towards your destination. If you aren't where you thought you would be as at August then I think it's time for you to restrategize don't you think?

Here is what I want you to do....

Morning Coffee

    Hello and good morning everyone! This cup of coffee feels so strange in my hands. It's been a while since I prepared one on this blog. Oh well...the most important thing is that i'm back making coffees as grandpa Ralph right? I really missed you guys a lot and once again I apologize for my absence.
     For those that have been trying to reach me. Well one of the issues I had, although a minor one compared to others is that I misplace my main phone and that is more serious than you might realize. You see my main phone contains all my business contacts. In my work place, your business contacts are as good as your salary and your I.D card combined together. It's just like a bank marketer loosing his/her clients...not very good, not good at all. So I misplaced the phone and immediately had to convert my AskRalph phone to my business phone and restore my contacts to that one. That meant wiping the AskRalph phone completely.  It took a while because the dude at the MTN office I went to is just a...lemme not say what I want to say for the sake of peace. He would get his when the time is right! Anyway the loss of the phone was just a tip of the iceberg but it definitely triggered the series of unfortunate events that landed me in the mess I am slowly trying to climb out of. Wiping my AskRalph phone meant loosing all my contacts but be rest assured that i'll be back as soon as possible on bbm and whatsapp. I have a backup of the contacts online. So bear with me for now okay?

Alright then, that was a lil detail on how it went down so that's that and now that i'm back here we can use the time to do what we do... Next post coming up in a jiffy...


Good morning fam!

Morning Coffee

    Hello Everyone, i'm sure you guys would be wondering where Ralph ran off to. I am so sorry for leaving without saying a word. I actually didn't go anywhere but a whole lot has been going on in my personal life. It took over my whole time and as much as I wanted to come back each day and write a post at least, I just couldn't make out the time. I'm sure you guys understand, certain that are out of your control just happen and they consume your energy, time and other important things. I'm talking of those things that actually almost succeed in making you forget about the things you care about. If you even try to ping me or call my number you won't get through to me. That's how bad things are right now. Well...it's all getting better and things are falling in place now so from today or at least tomorrow, I should be blogging regularly again.

I deeply apologize for my absence. I know I have taken enough excuses from blogging but trust me this time, this one isn't flimsy.

Morning Coffee

Hello and Good morning Everyone! Wishing you all a happy new week. I hope you are all prepared cos great things are bound to come your way today. This is that day of the week that you have to make a choice to either get up and muster up all the energy you need and get the day rolling or you stay back, relax and take the day slow, maybe even do nothing. At the end of the day the consequences of the choice you make would be all up to you and you alone would bear it. At the end of the day, those great things that I just promised you would be either yours or not based on the choice you make this morning.

What's it going to be for you?

Honestly I hate putting up two morning coffee's at the same time, it makes me look like a coffee addict which I totally am not. Oh well...

Good morning Fam How is you all doing this morning?!! Okay...If you are on a PC you might have noticed and if you are on a phone you can switch to a web view and see what i'm talking about.... I have taken down the  "How to win AskRalph blog  giveaways page". I think we all know why so...that's that. When giveaways come up i'll determine how to do get the winners at that point. The Top contributors list won't be used for determining giveaways. It would simply be for those that just love contributing. I planned on taking it down also but I love the way it looks. I might take it down later. I don't know, i'll just go with what I feel is best.

Alright then Moving on....

Hey everyone! Top of the morning to you all. I got to work this morning and had very little to do. When I finally opened my laptop to type this post, some evil spirit convinced me to open up my Facebook account so that was exactly what I did. I obeyed that tiny little voice, thought hard for my Facebook password, logged in and met the cobwebs on my Facebook wall. It's been ages I went there! I scrolled through the timeline and saw a bunch of funny videos that almost kept me from typing any post at all this morning. Among those videos was one done by a group of people called "wowo boys". The video was on cooking blunders and how Igbo men react to them.

Good morning Fam! How is everyone doing this Wednesday morning. It's been 7 days into this month and I haven't been able to put up any monthly polls. So here is what i'm going to do....well I was going to type that i'll just think out any random thing and post as the polls just to keep it going till I think out something more educative and put up the following month but an idea just popped into my head and I think that's what i'll go with. I'll be revealing it in my post later in the day.

For those of you who don't understand how I could just switch from having no clue of what I was about to type to having an idea immediately while still typing, well that's the morning coffee column for you. This is where I type randomly, quickly and let out anything in my mind. It's sort of a preparation and a mental detox for me that prepares me for the day. On the comment column below you have the opportunity to rant randomly on anything. It doesn't even have to concern any topic that I have brought up, you can just bring up your own and we would all talk about it randomly. Don't get confused when someone answers your random question with a pointless answer with no relation to what you have asked though. It's the Morning coffee, we just woke up and we are still trying to wrap our minds around the reality in front of us.

Let's Rant More!

   Happy Monday to you all. Happy new week and Happy new opportunities. How is everyone doing this morning?

You know I still have no idea why we have to wake up every morning and go spend energy working just to achieve great things and success. I still don't understand why there is no food for lazy men like me. So we are now forced to work and work to earn a paper that we exchange for food. Civilization screwed us big time. However thinking again, without civilization i'll have to go out and hunt lions...Wow! Alright I appreciate my job right now and i'm going to face it seriously right now..


Let's rant small....well you guys can rant. I'll just drop some inspiration based on "Sabali"

Hello and good morning everyone. I had to run away quickly after my second post yesterday and I couldn't return until late at night. Crazy start to my month but I wouldn't have had it any other way. I have found that if I get a jump on my very first day of the month I tend to have a more active month. However if I have a slow start to the month then I tend to have a more relaxing month with little achieved at the end. I think I should have waited till this month for us to focus on the kin' hard work and dedication.

    30th of the month huh? Wow! I don't know who caused it, I don't know how the person did it, I know I am suspecting Sodiq or Funke for it but this month ran away. Maybe it was Esit because she has been awfully quiet recently, so quiet that I think she is up to some mischief. Whoever is responsible for making the month go by so fast sure did a hell of a job. Just simply because I set the months focus as Hard work and dedication, the person decided to manipulate life into moving so fast....smh.

Good morning Fam. How is everybody doing? If you are all doing great this morning then cool. If not the you will need a sip of this morning coffee to kick start your day.

       Hello and good morning fam! Sorry for the late morning post. Had to fight that evil boss of mine off practically.

So how was the weekend for everyone? I just hope it was as fun as mine. I had a very crazy one, so crazy that I got shocked when I looked at my watch this morning to realize that the month was already over. When I discovered it was the 29th I just lost it. I looked at my calendar hoping for this month to have 31 days or maybe 35 if possible, you can imagine my disappointment huh?.  I still have a lot of things i'll like to accomplish before the month runs out, plus the month just kind of ran away so fast. I can't believe we would be going in to the 7th month of the year in just 2 days time. Crazy stuff. Oh well, you know what they say about looking at the bright side right? Well I did that and I discovered that since the month ran so fast and would be ending tomorrow, that means my salary would be coming very soon. Awesome stuff right?!

Let's Rant A bit...
