Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

By -
Image
This is a Success Story shared by Olusola O'sola Fapohunda, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure. ----- In early 2010, I went with about four other guys in my department - to visit our level registration officer. We wanted to check our result. Each one of us, was with a paper and a pen. The lecturer in charge asked for our matriculation numbers and one after the other, he was reeling off grades, GPA and CGPA. He eventually got to me and I heard a digit that sounded like I've been shot. God! Me! 2.29. I've earned myself Grade E in some three unit courses and my best course was APH301, which I had a B with a score of 69. About six months later, I went to check my 300 level second semester result and I now had a CGPA of 4.00. That was the happiest day of my University education. I was rolling on the floor of the room. The previous semester has been hell, yet the one that followed it yielded this awesome result! What did I do? What did I change? What s...

When Are You Getting Married?

By -
Image
I was with my parents over the weekend. It was a great time with them. Our conversations especially when I am about leaving them after a visit will end with a prayer. But this time a good part of the conversation centered on marriage and so was about 86% of the prayer on getting married from the right family and settling down well....hmmm. You see, we all have this almighty question to answer now and then. In fact, life in Nigeria is ideally viewed in a particular cycle – Birth - Go to School - Graduate from University - National Youth Service - Work or Business - Marriage and Children, and then Work, Work, Business, Business - Raise Children - Work, Work, Business, Business - Death. I hope you can relate with that cycle. When you are done, your children obviously will continue with the next cycle starting from where you started. Sometimes the Question, "when are you getting Married?" put lots of people under pressure. The second pressure after this is the pressure to ...

Relationship Series (Introduction)

By -
Some years ago, I began to have some thoughts about life. Everyday, we come across people who put up false happiness. Everyone's trying to be truly happy, and everyone surely deserves that, because there's no life without happiness. But a lot of persons are much unhappy inside than they seem to be. Sometimes the pain they feel deep inside gets to a threshold, where they can't keep on putting up false happiness, and their true feelings are more often expressed. For a good number of persons, they redefine happiness, and their definition of happiness does not bring them true happiness, though it feels so at the beginning, but at the end, it only adds to the pain they already feel. At the same time, their search for happiness causes pains to others who are averagely happy or whose happiness is below average. Relationships are part of life. Everything about life thrives on relationship. For every society to be progressive, there must be a greater part of the society with posi...

Towards Mental Exploits by David .O. Oyedepo

By -
Image
I read this book about four years ago, and it was a big turning point for me. Much was learnt, I'll share few of them today. You should check it out. The lessons: Death begins when one stops learning, and ageing starts from one's mind, not one's body. One remains young as far as he or she keeps learning; One starts crashing once he or she stops pushing. One's ability to excel mentally is paralyzed once one stops trying and accepts that the results obtained is the best he or she can attain; One's life becomes a burden when one's life is void of progress. And when one's brain isn't working towards anything, it becomes a weight on the body. The brain is motivated when it sees something ahead, something to work towards for; One's success does not demand prayer and fasting, as much as engaging one's senses positively.

Reasons Why it never worked out with Your Partner (by MG)

By -
Image
This is a combination of two posts written by Musa Gift (MG). The first is: Reasons S he left You / turned You down . The second is: Reasons H e broke up with You / never proposed . ----- Reasons She left You / turned You down So she just woke up and told you that it is over, or she said she can't go out with you, or be your "friend". But you have prayed and feel led to her, and she is stalling, or she just changed everything months or years into the relationship. You asked her for a reason and she said it is not you, it is her, and well, or that it is no longer working, or that you people are just not compatible. My brother, I know, sometimes these things happen like that idiopathically, but there are reasons, real reasons ladies break up with guys or reject proposals that they may not tell you – different reasons ranging from fear to the fact that they don't want to hurt your ego. So I have compiled a list, from what I have heard, read and per...

Your personal health and fitness is essential!

By -

"I am as passionate about personal health and fitness as I am about financial health. I believe your health is your most prized possession. It amazes me how many people pay no attention to their health. ... You know what you’re supposed to eat. We all do. Fresh fruits and vegetables, complex carbs, salads, whole foods, lean meats, more fish and poultry than beef... You know it, I know it, we all know it. So why do so many of us still go out and chow down cheeseburgers and fries every day? I’ll tell you why: because it won’t kill us. Not today. If you ate a cheeseburger and immediately suffered a near-fatal heart attack, would you ever go near a cheeseburger again? I doubt it. It may take twenty or thirty years, but when you add up the compounded interest on all that high-fat, artery-clogging dietary mayhem, eventually your poor overworked heart just quits, stops dead. And so do you. It has been said that we dig our graves with our teeth. It’s easy to ea...

Who do You say You are?

By -
Image
One day Jesus Christ asked his disciples a question: "Whom do Men say that I am?" and after He listened to their replies. He asked them again, "BUT who do you say I am?" (KJV) I like the way NIV puts it, it says; "BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU, who do you say I am?" ------- People of God, it doesn't matter what people are saying about you, about your past or future, about what you can or cannot do; they are entitled to their opinions. What matters, the crux of the matter is: "What do you say about yourself".. They will say all manner of things. People will always talk. They will say that you don't deserve the life you want, that you are black, that you are fat, that you are ugly, that you are poor, that you have no connection, that you are a woman, that you can't get it done, that you are dull, that you didn't go to college, a nobody, or as they tell me, that you are single... Having heard all they have said abou...

Developing a Personal Career Pathway (by Samuel Akinlotan)

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from one of the sessions held earlier this year, on Developing a Personal Career Pathway by Samuel Akinlotan. ---------- Samuel Akinlotan : Whether you want to run your own company or snag the corner office at your current job, you probably have an end-goal for your career. But do you really know what you need to do to get there? It's important for people to see the steps that are actually involved in having a successful career in whatever profession and industry they choose. I hear so many graduates and professionals say things like, 'I want to be a financial analyst' or 'I want to be an HR Professional'. The truth is that so many of us are often carried away by the enthusiasm and optimism of some professions which often leave us blind to long term career planning. Things don't just happen, you make them happen. This leads to our conversation today on Develop...
