Life like a newspaper..

Guess you all heard of the Rupert Murdoch story- the phone hacking saga that tainted the self-praised media in the UK. The scandal was and is so murky, that it eventually led to the closure of News of the World tabloid,chopping off a big chunk of integrity, in the media industry. 
Speaking of newspapers, ever thought of what section of a newspaper you would be, if you were to be a feature in one? Lives and careers have been ruined in this daily editions, revolutions started, love found, untold stories shared, businesses made, the hungry fed etc; thus would it not be interesting to know what value you would add to the Life Daily Edition.
1. The Cover/ Front page
These are head-liners. People who are never scared of drawing attention, and honestly, never shy away from it. They see it, they want it, they must have it! They are bold and wholly embrace it. If they are in a group, they hardly wait to be introduced, because they know one fact-#they do it best themselves. 
2. The Back page
They are laid back, are of great value, but if not keenly looked at, go unnoticed.They are not keen to have the spot-light, but once they attain it, well, it becomes difficult not to notice them. Downfall about being a back-page in life, is that if you do not get the attention deserved, thus you may being celebrated when dead. People get to see their value after their impact is missed, as a result of their absenteeism.
3. The Middle page
They blend in well, and always have serious content and knowledge, but need to be motivated to show it; they prefer to have someone source for it. Someone has to dig up their confidence, and then, they will freely roam. They easily go about with their lives, and share it with those who choose to show interest.
4. Advertisements/ Pull-out/ Columns
These guys, are neither here nor there, simply abstract art in life's art gallery. Can be a masterpiece, I agree, but ever shortlived!! Similar to a flag, they bow to the command of the wind. They simply work with what best fits them, as per that present moment. A change in scenario directly leads a change of heart. They are people whom you should hardly bank on, as they will wipe your safe clean, upon rise of better interest rates.
5. Obituaries
Honestly, this is tough to dwell into, yet again, I must. They prefer dwelling in the past, clinging to what-ifs, have a lot of wishes, but all is in vain, because their efforts are dead. They are simply living a dead life. They jabber a lot, and work not, simply living chatter-boxes, with no value in their charter!!


Life is simply clay, and we, are the potters. Though it, life, does have its twists and turns, it is still we, who have the capacity to make the final piece from what is laid in our hands.
Therefore, as you read through Life's Daily Edition, ensure you make each chance you have in the newspaper, count!!
