After scouring through the blurt community for EPISTEM-related posts, we found and upvoted lots of articles that are original and of high quality. In this curation report, we proudly present to you, the top posts of the day in the various niche:
Education:
@woleyou - Family education (5) : if you are critical of others, others will be critical of you
I have heard a parent once say, you don't teach a kid by words alone, you teach them by your actions. No matter how young you think your kid is, he/she is paying attention to what you do, and soon you will see the child behaving as you do. This is why it's important you behave exactly the way you want your child to behave. In this post, @woleyou, a mother shares her experience on this, and how much effort we need to put in making sure we do things correctly. She also advises us to mind the kind of words we use in front of our kids.
Psychology:
@debbie-ese - Abolish The African Time Mentality Today
Do you have a friend who doesn't keep to time? Or are you someone who needs to be invited for an event an hour before the actual time so that you can actually be there on the right time? @debbie-ese writes on why it's so wrong to keep doing that and reasons why you should change that mentality.

Ingenuity - Poem:
@blurtpoem - If not for a flower's smile (poem)
