The Riyo Deal

I have typed and delete, typed and deleted. I want to do this short film justice in the review, but it left me speechless it was nothing like I expected, when I first saw the trailer I like many other people thought it would be a film about British gang culture, boy o boy was I wrong.

I have always been a great lover of books and I have come to notice that books are dying hardly anyone buys them anymore muchless reads them, and for the people that do they have their Kindles and iPad library’s, in my opinion nothing can compare to the feeling you get holding a new book in your hand, excited for whatever journey you are about to embark on.

The reason why I love this movie and give it a resounding 5 stars is because that’s just what it talks about, the storyline is completely unique and the execution is flawless, the talent was amazing they had me hooked from the beginning the performances were captivating, the movie has a bold message that was portrayed perfectly.

People often say that when it comes to movies Britain will always come second to America, well I think if Britain had more movies like this then that statement will be made redundant.

It’s not jut a movie it’s a campaign for reading, raising awareness of the fact that there are so many people ignoring books and the ignorance is passing on to their children, the tagline for the movie is ‘Knowledge is Power’, we as young people are the future and if we only rely only on schools to educate us then we will be powerless to the future that is to come, educate yourselves outside of school as well as inside.

This movie is definitely getting a Riyo-Rocking 5 stars, It is definitely a must see, well done to Sebastian Thiel, It’s Upshot and Kingdom Entertainment, I hope we’ll be seeing more from you guys.

If you woke up this morning healthy –you are happier than the 1 million people who will not live until next week.

If you have never experienced a war, imprisonment, torture or famine – you are happier than the 500 million people in this world.

If your refrigerator has food [not matter how much], you’re dressed properly, and own at least 2 pairs of jeans, if you have a roof over your head and a bed to sleep in – you are richer than 75% of people in this world.

If you can go to church without fear and the threat of imprisonment or death – you are happier than the 3 billion people in this world.

If you have a bank account, money your wallet or a few bits of change just lying around – you belong to 8%-people in this world.

If you’re reading this, you do not belong to the 2+ billion people who cannot read.

Think before you start complaining about what you don’t have

Many of us have heard this word compromise very often most of the time from our parents and friends/relationship advisors, it would appear to be the answer to all of life’s relationship problems, male or female, whenever you have an argument in a relationship and venture out to seek advice on how to resolve the argument, you are constantly told to compromise. Now in my own opinion and after some seriously intense research I can finally say I figured it out, compromising = sacrifice you can’t have one without the other, they are in fact one in the same, now I know most of you are looking at this and thinking what is she talking about, well hold on before you go grab your pitch forks and torches let me explain.

Before you get into any relationships, while your in the searching phase, you say things like ‘I want someone who loves me just the way I am warts and all’ or ‘I love myself way too much to change for any man’ but now lets take a step back, take a look at your relationship, if you are not in a relationship then refer to a friends relationship, you remember how you or your friend was before this relationship started, now compare them as they were pre relationship to them as they are now, you will notice that they are most likely not the same person they used to be, they may not have given up themselves totally but there is that little part of them that has disappeared and you have probably never noticed until now.

You see people are not wrong when they say that relationships are about compromise, it is true they are about compromise, but too many times people are confused and say I can compromise but I won’t sacrifice anything, what they fail to realize is that by compromising they are in fact sacrificing, to compromise is to meet halfway and well lets face it to meet halfway you will have to pick and prune, tweak and fine tunes and well there is really no way to do this without losing just a little part of yourself.

Now I promise you it has never been my intention to burst your blissful bubble but there comes a time when its time to actually embrace reality and well live with it, it really twists my arm when I hear people saying, I never sacrifice in my relationships I compromise and that’s about it. That’s a negative you do sacrifice it happens sacrifice in relationships is inevitable it happens, if you don’t want to sacrifice stay single, but if your willing to pursue a relationship do so and be aware of the fact that yes you will have to sacrifice a piece of yourself big or small, no matter how hard we want to believe we will find that one person that appreciates us as we are, sadly it is not the case but it works both ways as the other person expects compromise on our part we too expect compromise on their part.

In conclusion if you are entering any relationship you will lose apart of yourself it happens but for your own safety and for that of your heart make sure that you are 100% sure that the sacrifice or compromise will be worth it because once you lose a little part of yourself, it won’t come back in a day t will take a while. Good luck and remember I don’t pretend to have the answers to anything, I just ask questions the answers as with everything else lie within you.
