About me

Welcome to Berthe A. warm world šŸ˜€

Hi there! Iā€™m someone who believes that kindness, integrity, and empathy still matterā€”and I write to celebrate the good values that hold our society together.

By profession, I work in the world of transport and logistics, where things move fast and every detail counts. But beyond the busy schedules and moving parts, Iā€™ve always found time for what fuels me: reading, writing, travelling, and soaking in the beauty of everyday life.

People often say I smile a lotā€”and I think thatā€™s one of the best compliments anyone can give. Through this blog, I hope to pass on some of that positivity, share reflections on the values that make life meaningful, and maybe even spark a few smiles along the way.

Thanks for being here. Letā€™s journey together.

  • Kindness as a superpower we all have

    Amid the noise and pressure of daily life where speed and success so often take center stage, kindness can appear soft or unnecessary. Yet, its quiet strength holds the power to transform both our lives and the lives we touch. Kindness is contagious One of the most fascinating things about kindness is that it spreads.…

  • When you choose joy, everyone wins

    In a world that constantly praises hustle, speed, and productivity, joyfulness can feel like a subtle act of resistance. It doesnā€™t shout like ambition or shine like outward success. Instead, joy often appears in lifeā€™s quiet corners: a shared smile, the glow of a sunrise, or the comfort of a morning coffee. But do not…

  • Is being strict a strength or a flaw?

    Whether at home, in the workplace, or in educational settings, being strict can shape the way people behave, perform, and grow. Strictness is often seen as a double-edged sword. On one side, it represents discipline, control, and high standards. On the other, it can come off as inflexible, harsh, or even overbearing. But what does…

  • Discipline: The Bridge between goals and achievement

    Discipline is one of those words that doesnā€™t sound exciting. It doesnā€™t sparkle like ā€œpassionā€ or shine like ā€œinspiration.ā€ But if you look closely at every story of success, whether in personal growth, career, sports, or art; discipline is always there, quietly working behind the scenes. Discipline isnā€™t about being perfect. Itā€™s about being consistent.…

  • Gratefulness as a gentle practice, not a forced feeling

    Lately, Iā€™ve been thinking a lot about what it means to be grateful, not just saying thanks out of habit, but really feeling it. The kind of gratefulness that sits quietly in your chest and makes you take a deep breath because, somehow, even in the middle of the chaos, you know thereā€™s something good…

  • Loyalty as an invisible thread

    In Chinua Achebeā€™s classic novel Things Fall Apart, one of the most powerful yet tragic portrayals of loyalty is found in the relationship between Ikemefuna and Nwoye, the son of the protagonist, Okonkwo. Ikemefuna is a boy given to the Umuofia clan as a peace offering to avoid war. Though he is essentially a political…

  • Trust as a cornerstone value in life

    In a fast-paced, ever-evolving world, trust remains one of the most essential values we can cultivate. Whether itā€™s within personal relationships, professional environments, or society as a whole, trust is what allows human connection to thrive. What is trust? Trust is more than just expecting someone to follow through. Itā€™s the belief that a person…

  • What courage really looks like?

    If you are a Christian, have you ever paused to reflect on the courage David showed in the Bible? In a world that celebrates boldness, adventure, and grand achievements, courage often wears a quieter face. It’s not always about charging into battle, climbing mountains, or making headlines. Sometimes, courage is simply choosing to show up…

  • PATIENCE: Why slowing down is a virtue worth cultivating?

    With instant gratification at our fingertips through one-click shopping, same-day delivery, and endless scrolling and streaming, itā€™s easy to overlook the value of patience. Yet this quiet virtue remains one of the most powerful traits we can nurture. Patience isnā€™t simply about waiting; itā€™s about how we wait, how we endure, and how we grow…

  • The Profound Potential of Silence

    In a world saturated with noise: buzzing phones, endless notifications, crowded streets, and constant conversation, silence often feels like a rare luxury. Yet, when embraced, silence offers something that all the noise in the world cannot: clarity, peace, and connection with ourselves on a deeper level. Many of us associate silence with emptiness or awkwardness.…
