Phew!! What a week!!!
What a year- just two months and it seems like another year………………….
Every second holds a new story,every minute holds an account, every hour a narrative, a day a chronicle but what a week holds is my story…….
This week actually started on a very bright note, I had scored more than 50% of my mid-semester exams and I was quite happy. Most of my lectures did not hold and so had quite a relaxed schedule which is very unusual with the Computer Science Class.
When one door closes it in reality opens another, just bumped into my head, so what next then????
I’ve got just three things to say in this post,two successful views and the anticlimax the latter.
First I decided to take an inventory on the first two months of the year – which was quite helpful, successful and a revelation and the details which I would release in the next sequels of my blogs, which would also serve as my personal countdown to the first half of the year and to the World Cup as well.
Secondly, I decided to set up some goals for the remainder of the 1st half of the year, which are as follows
.> A total overhauling of behavior- obviously negative ones
.> A closer look at my love life and my social responsibilities
.> A newer approach at my perspectives and worldview
.> Accomplishing all the above mentioned goals.
Lastly, one which indefinitely suspends me from football is the acknowledgement that Chelsea FC has been knocked out from the 2010/2011 edition of the UEFA Champions League…It came as a “spam” to me hysterically speaking...
I never dreamt of that per se but it happened and that is football for you..Losers always live to fight another day- that I believe….
In conclusion, I would like to give you a specially carved quote of mine “ Giving your best means give it all out to make someone,something a worth” till a release my next post be safe and play safe…

Happy Independence Day Ghanaians- The Presidents's Speech.
Theme: Investing In The Youth For A Better Ghana
Your Excellency The Vice President,
Right Honourable Speaker Of Parliament
Her Lordship The Chief Justice
Government Functionaries
Members of the Diplomatic Corp
Traditional Leaders
Educationists
Teachers
Pupils & Students
Fellow Ghanaians,
On behalf of myself and the Government, I congratulate us as a nation on the occasion of our 53rd Independence Day celebration.
I commend each and every one of you on the parade square this morning for adding a lot of colour to the celebration.
I must admit that I have enjoyed the wonderful turnout, the gymnastics, the cultural display and the dexterity with which the youthful band has rolled out very wonderful tunes.
Also, I congratulate pupils, students and teachers all over the country who have worked hard to make the celebration a success.
Today is a day for you the youth, and you must be proud of what you have achieved as regards your invaluable contribution to celebrating such a momentous occasion on the nation’s calendar.
As a Government, it is our conviction that getting you actively involved in our Independence Day activities is very critical to ensuring that you appreciate the struggles and toil that have brought us this far and also to inculcate in you a sense of nationalism and belonging.
You must be proud of your heritage and you must be proud to be Ghanaian.
53 years ago, our Founding Father, Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah declared Ghana a free nation and it is a well catalogued fact that the struggle for independence was not an easy one.
Many were those who shed their blood for our independence and we salute their memory for their selfless dedication to giving life to Ghana.
The journey has not been an easy one; we have gotten this far through our collective determination and we must not relent in our efforts to move forward in the right direction as we strive to build a Better Ghana.
Over the decades, scores of Ghanaians have worked, and continue to work in the best interest of Ghana.
It is now time for us as leaders, and you as future leaders, to also to contribute our quota to nation building.
The Better Ghana agenda is not limited to time and space that is why a critical pivot around which our governances programme is revolving, is, investing in you the youth in particular.
We are committed to investing in the youth in order to build the critical mass that will not only sustain the development agenda, but more importantly, move it to higher heights.
The future of our beloved Ghana is in your hands and education is the key that will open the doors of the future.
The future belongs to you.
Be it in the area of; medicine, law, engineering, or entrepreneurship; education is the key that will unlock your potential and equip you with the capacity to take control of your destiny.
That is why it is important that you work hard and set educational goals for yourselves.
Teachers have a responsibility to inspire you; parents have a responsibility of making sure you stay on track and support your education; Government has the responsibility to set high educational standards by supporting teachers to give off their best, as well as providing the right atmosphere for teaching and learning.
At the end of the day, if you have the best teachers, have the most supportive parents, have a government that invests heavily in education, and you do not take advantage of the opportunities available to you, you will fail to benefit from the talents and potential God has given you.
Remember; there are no shortcuts in life.
Hard work pays.
There will be hurdles you have to jump over; there will be challenges; there will be extremely tough times; but don’t be quitters. Winners are not quitters and quitters are not winners.
In life, the race is not necessarily for the swiftest, but for the sturdiest.
Uphold virtue, morality and honesty and you will become great men and women of your time.
My pledge to you is that as a Government, we will not renege on our pledge to give depth, verve, and modern day meaning to our educational system which will create the opportunities for you to take advantage of.
Personally, as happened this year, I will continue to play host well behaved pupils and students to drum home the fact that discipline is a trait that must be placed on a high pedestal.
Once again I congratulate all those who have made it possible for us to have a successful Independence Day celebration.
Together; young and old, and at all times, let our love for Mother Ghana override all other interests.
Let us continue to pledge on our honour to be faithful and loyal to Ghana our Motherland and also pledge to uphold and defend the good name of Ghana.
May God be our helper!

--------------------------------------Here We Are Again>>>>>>>>>>>>
I don't know about you but I did enjoy my holiday break. Spent some time traveling, some time with family, some time eating (well . . . probably more than some time), some time being a couch potato, and some time reflecting. I hope all of you recharged your batteries and are ready for a great New Year!
I don't remember when I heard the statement "the glass is half empty or half full" but it is one that I always remember. I think it came from my French teacher in the 11th grade. Young folks ask your peers about it! Anyway . . . I try to remember this throughout my day. We can get pulled to the "dark side" and look at the "half empty" glass but try to catch yourself and move to the "half full" side. It is a habit that can be fixed. We lead by example so I will leave my Positive comments at that . . .

Me Myself and I
Hi All,
Welcome to my blog- a world of my own which I could build and construct all 7 wonders of the earth again by the power of the keyboard. You can call me Edward or Gates- check out the watermark. I am a student currently in college pursuing a degree in Bsc. Computer Science at
According to numerologist my name Hanson has the following secrets attached to it and my undiscovered character:
Adventure, action and excitement characterize me. Most of people like me don't recall having a boring day. I am impulsive and love arguing, fighting and accepting challenges. I play to win and often hurt others but you apologize for hurting other people's feeling. I don’t quit fighting until I reach my goal.
Gates V (actually it’s my pen name):
Restless and impatient, I never stop looking for new experiences. I rarely finish a job before I start a new one. Love excitement and look forward to starting new projects. Your love of adventure and change often prevents me from getting involved with people. I often deny feeling of love for people I am close to.
Are thinking what I’m thinking?
