Start off by making Your bed

By -

If You wanna change the world,
Start off by making Your bed.

If You make Your bed every morning,
You will have accomplished the first task of the day.

It will give You a small sense of pride, and will encourage You to do another task, and another, and another.

By the end of the day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed.

Making your bed will also reinforce the fact that the little things in life matter.
If You can't do the little things right, You'll never be able to do the big things right.

If, by chance, You have a miserable day, You will come home to a bed that is made. That You made.
And a made bed gives You encouragement that tomorrow will be better.

(from a Video: University of Texas at Austin 2014 Commencement Address – Admiral William H. McRaven)

Nothing Good Comes Easy (Dr. Nosa's Success Story)

By -

This is an inspiring Success Story by Dr. Ewere Thompson Nosa, a Medical Doctor and graduate of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) Dr. Ewere Thompson Nosa ----- After rounding up my Secondary School education, and losing my Dad to the cold hands of death in 2009; I decided to fend for myself, and complement the support I was getting from my wonderful siblings. I had to do this because I don't like depending on anyone wholly, plus the fact that finance was limited and things were not all rossy. So I started off as a phone technician at Third junction in Benin. It wasn't easy for me as I was a bit too young and innocent to hussle in such kind of environment. I faced a lot of reproach, rejections and oppressions. I can remember a day I was beaten up at my work place, by some cultists for not fixing their phones to their specification. I also faced a lot of disappointments even among my loved ones. Well, that's all history. I endured all and passed...

You Can attract the Grace and make it happen

By -
Image
In my routine muse, out of the loud silence of my mind came deep words which I consider both factual and true... Nothing happens on it's own, we live in a realm of cause and effect; sowing and reaping; give and take; garbage in, garbage out... Life can, to a good extent be predictable; nothing is new, just some kind of cycle... Principles guide life, break them and dance to whichever tune life plays for you. Grace, yes Grace, does not groom lazy men who sit with bowls waiting for manna rain. Grace empowers you to labour, opens new thought lines in your head, makes you smart, diligent and the boss in your game. Ask successful people, when they say it's grace, hehehehehe, ask them very well, the sacrifice was huge, the labour was much, but, with grace, it was a pleasant pain, a restful toil, trust me... God doesn't raise robots. An average human is sooo loaded, ever wondered why the seemingly "non-religious" ones excel too? The law of sowing and reaping is th...

You may be consuming high amounts of sugar and it's unhealthy for you

By -
Image
A lot of us must have heard that much sugar is not healthy, but a good number of persons still consume a large amount of it. Sugar is a carbohydrate and we have simple sugars (glucose, fructose, galactose) and more complex forms of it (sucrose, lactose, maltose). The sugar we consume is mostly in the form of sucrose, a disaccharide made up of glucose and fructose. When we consume sugar, it is metabolized to give us energy, but when high amounts of it is consumed, the body converts to body fats and store them. Sugar (sucrose) contains about 50% fructose, and fructose, which is actually the sweet part of sugar, responsible for the sweetness we taste when we take sugar is not good for us. Fructose is metabolized only by the liver which means there's a lot of work for one's liver to do. It is toxic to the liver especially in those who consume large amount of sugar (the human body is not meant to consume so much fructose). Also, sugar is ADDICTIVE due to fructose. Fructose suppress...

Sports this Week

It has been an interesting week in the world of football. A couple of transfers were done, and we'll see those involving popular stars and some top clubs. Before we get to that, I want to say a big Congrats to Germany for their victory as the Confederations Cup Champions. Many didn't see that victory coming from the beginning when the team selection was announced. The young players did a good job proving themselves, and I can't wait to see Germany's World Cup squad. Let's now look at the completed transfers within the past 7 days: • Yesterday, July 7, Jonathan Walters, 33, completed a transfer from Stoke City to Burnley, on a two year deal worth £3m. • On Thursday, July 6: Vincent Iborra completed a move to Leicester City from Sevilla. The value of the deal is undisclosed though a fee of about £10.5m is reported. The contract is for 4 years. Vurnon Anita, also competed a free transfer from Newcastle to Leeds. He signed a 3 year contract. • On Wednesday,...

Be Appreciative. Always grab the Positives from Everything

I'm sharing this, to tell You and Myself to always be appreciative and grab the positives from everything. Thumbs Up to the Writer. ----- A famous writer was in his study room. He picked up his pen and started writing: • Last year, I had a surgery and my gallbladder was removed. I had to stay stuck to the bed due to this surgery for a long time. • The same year I reached the age of 60 years and had to give up my favourite job in the Publishing company in which I had spent 30 years of my life. • The same year I experienced the sorrow of the death of my father. • And in the same year my son failed in his medical exams because he had a car accident. He had to stay in bed at hospital with the cast on for several days. The destruction of car was another loss. At the end he wrote: Alas! It was such bad year!! When the writer's wife entered the room, she found her husband looking sad lost in his thoughts. From behind his back she read what was written on the paper, left the ro...

Why You May Not Succeed As An Entrepreneur

By -
Image
The most popular answer these days is "become an entrepreneur", "start your own business". I have seen lots of articles with the quote: "If you don't follow your dreams, you'll end up working for someone who did", but there is something about this statement I don't agree with... I would come back to it in a minute... In order to maximise your earning power and have the ability to invest in my business as an entrepreneur, you need to pursue a career or side hustle you are passionate about and create multiple streams of income. Becoming rich does not necessarily mean you have to become an entrepreneur. The reality is, not everyone is cut out to be their own boss and you need to learn this early on... that's why I don't agree with the statement that without following your dreams, you may automatically end up working for someone who did... What if your dream is heading a board as maybe an executive with the world health organization ...

Relationship Series (Part 1)

By -
Image
Our present society is a mixture of different persons of different family values. That's one of the major reasons why people have different understanding of an issue or situation. One from a family with high personal and moral values may not agree with the other who has his or her own values, and who feels they are justified and right. You see situations where people can't relate because of their parallel opinions and beliefs which are antagonist to each other. You see situations where people "mind their business" because they feel that the actions and activities of other persons, has no significant effect on them. One thing I've learnt about life is that everyone, has an effect, positive or negative, on the entire system. It's like a chain reaction. And the only way to ensure there's a general positive effect is by everyone who knows what's right, do what's right and help promote such positive vibes in the little way they can. I can be of help to...

Establish Positive Connections and Relationships

By -

Never joke with the power of Connection/Relationships. Be connected to God, and be connected to Man. It isn't just about what You can do alone, but who You know that can give You the opportunity to showcase what You can do. Referrals have changed a lot of lives. "She's my niece, give her the job".. "He's a very honest young man, give him the chance" "When I was in need, that young man standing there, when everyone abandoned me, he stood in for me, help me out a lot of times, give him the contract " If You can do it, I can do it, she can do it. The person who gets the job at the end of the day may as well be the person who knows somebody somewhere. Don't die for connection, don't sin for connection, but it will as well be foolish of you to underestimate the power of being connected, in Heaven and on earth... I mean, is that not why we always pray, "Father Lord, send me divine helpers". Divine helper, I laugh how some ...

The Love and Positivity Initiative – LPI

Positive Life & Relationship Presents – The Love & Positivity Initiative (LPI) ---------- Hi Friend. Hope you're doing Great? I believe 2017 has been Great for You? 2018 have to be Greater! ---------- I will briefly share my story – the motivation. When I was born, I had a "perfect" mind. By this, I see the world through the positive light. I always speak and advocate for what's right. I don't need to be trained or taught, it was just in me. It's my personality. Growing up wasn't easy. Aside family challenges, my positive philosophy of life was basically solid though I later discovered that I had a lot to learn, and with my greatest ability – the ability to have an open mind towards life – I was able to get to where I want to be mentally, or let me say, I've gotten to a great extent (learning and improving never stops, you know) There came a period when I had some darkness – my positive philosophy to life started shaking.. Life's dai...

Happiness and You (Dopamine)

By -
Image
Hi Reader! Hope you're doing good? I was checking up on happiness and how it relates to the body and brain, chemically. I found some interesting stuffs that I'll love to share. There are four chemical substances that are related to happiness in the body: Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins (DOSE). There could be more than four but these four are major. My interest today is on Dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter which influences "reward-motivated behavior " in relation to happiness. By reward-motivated behavior, it is responsible for the excitement one feels when there's a task to be done with a reward attached. This reward can be a goal to be attained or landmark to be set. It's just like something good is coming out from carrying out a task or action, or something new and exciting will be learnt or gained after undergoing an experience or completing a task. You know how good, happy and excited you feel in a situation like this? The brain rele...
