Reggae music is more than a genre, it is a living testimony of resilience, unity, and spiritual awakening. Born in the streets of Kingston, Jamaica, reggae emerged as the voice of the oppressed, the rhythm of the Rastafari movement, and the heartbeat of a people determined to rise above struggle.

Your life is not between birth and death. It is between your inhalation and exhalation. The present moment, the here and now, is the only life you truly possess. So live every moment with kindness, peace, and without fear or regret. This is all anyone can genuinely expect from themselves.


Life is short


This is your life, and you must fight for it. Fight for the truth and for what you believe. Fight for what matters to you and for the people you love, and never forget to tell them how much they mean to you.

Life always has a story to tell. As children before adulthood, we were fortunate that our parents toiled for us in both hard and unique ways. But do we sometimes take into consideration how our parents suffered for us, to give them the respect and love they deserve?


Well, many had it rough in life because they were neglected by their parents, yet be thankful to God, because that bitter experience of neglect gave you the courage and motivation to carry on daily in life, and that will and determination you embraced were the keys that shaped, molded, and educated you for success.

How to Stay Focused on Your Career Despite Criticism and Ridicule

“I became a subject of ridicule, scorn, and laughter in Antwerp, just because I’m writing books, but I refused to live the way they wanted.” – Joel Savage.


Laughter takes place when something funny occurs. It can happen during a conversation, celebration, event, etc. According to a health magazine, laughter can support the immune system, improve blood pressure, stimulate the organs, and even reduce pain. 


Laughter is said to be a medicine that improves health and lifts your spirit. Surprisingly, most laughter isn’t about humor but about taunting and underestimation.

Joel Savage: A Journey of Determination, Writing, and Resilience

The Book Connection Presents: Guest Author Joel Savage



Everyone has objectives, but not everything goes as planned for those who want to achieve something unique in society. I am one of them. I missed part of my education after the sudden death of my father. It occurred to me that if I really wanted to further my education, the only option was to travel to Europe.



I wasn’t greedy, thinking that Europe makes one rich overnight, but I had an idea that if I succeeded in integrating legally, I could follow my dreams since they have the best educational facilities and good teachers.


Upon arrival in Europe, I realized that going to a foreign country could be very difficult in regard to financial aspects and visa applications, but nothing was more difficult than gaining legal immigrant status in a foreign country.
