Always be mindful of your Appearance, it speaks Volume

By -

Stepping out for lunch today, clutching my notepad and devices, a man stopped me smiling.
"Hello"
"Hello" I greeted back as he extended his hands.
"You look expensive", he said shaking my hands in acknowledgement.
"Really? Oh..thank you." I managed to mutter wondering how a stranger can make such inference in a chance moment.
"You sure do!" he responded as we went our separate ways.

Imagine it was a business meeting, my first impression would have him sold. I looked for the next available mirror to see for myself. I did look fly rocking a bishop necked blue and white shirt made by Dapo Okeowo. My pictures don too plenty, I for show una.

Lesson..
Always be mindful of your appearance it speaks volume.
Mind you, I wasn't adorned gold or fancy jewels. Just simple top and pants.

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...

How I got out of paid employment in 11 months

It is true that you achieve what you put your mind to. January 27 2017, I was seated in the office to have my final interview. I have read lots of interview questions and answers online before then like I was going to get a 10 million naira job. Staying without job for a year was the lowest point of my life. I answered every questions pragmatically and then the very big question! How long do you see yourself working with us? "I can only guaranty that I will be here in the next one year", I replied. I didn't even last a year because I have my purpose and focus in view. I knew exactly what took me there so I wasn't that employee who has the mindset of retirement. In fact, I never participated in anything long term there. Maybe you also want to have total control of your time to play a bigger game. The following steps will guide you. Find your purpose: Every decisions I took springed from my discovery of Oladipupo. Though I was jobless in 2016, I used that year t...

Eggshells (Episode 2)

Stanley could not believe that he was delayed at the banking hall for close to an hour before he was asked to enter the office of the Customer Service Manager. Jessica who had waited behind in her car kept on sending him text messages asking him if he was done yet. He pitied her. The poor woman left her own business to attend to his own troubles. He, for once in his life, thought she would make a good wife. However, he didn't love her. Or maybe he did, but he had not realized yet. "You can go in now Sir", came the voice of one of the cashiers at the counter. "Thank you for taking my sweet time". Stanley grinned and walked straight to the door he had been directed to. He was too preoccupied with his fury to knock at the door. He got in and slammed the door behind him. The woman seated at the desk in the cozy and fully air-conditioned office looked smart in her black and white suit. She had a pair of glasses on and she gave off an impression of control and co...

Calling a spade by its name!

By -

"Lady kills her ex for leaving her for another lady",.. "Man pours acid on his ex for daring to leave him after seeing her through the University",.. Everyday we come across such disheartening headlines on the dailies and on the internet. As we all agree, a relationship must not end in marriage. Anything can happen and each party should be prepared to go their separate ways. Nobody wants to feel forced into marriage, do you? Certainly No. Nobody wants to be guilt trapped, have their lives threatened or have to look behind their backs when they walk through a lonely street just because they ended a relationship they just couldn't continue with, nobody! It's a terrible place to find yourself. So, a girl sends assassins after her ex, a day before his wedding, kidnaps him and days later, his corpse is found. She should be sentenced to death by hanging, electrocution, or firing squad; everyone calls for her head. It isn't really the guys fault,...

A Great Dad?

By -

This may seem to be a late post, but it isn't late after all. Last Sunday (18 June) was Father's day. So, before the week is over, I'll have to drop this post. We'll be sharing some tips about being a great Dad, one that deserves to be celebrated, one who's the best. I think this will be cool and helpful to aspiring Dads (Yeah! The 'young unmarried' and 'Just married!') Let me start by quoting Sanjay Sabnani: "A great father knows that parenting is entirely responsible for a child's development - positive and negative - from birth until the child is done with high school. If your kid ends up with behavioral or academic issues, it is because a parent (or both) failed. A great father cannot distance himself from his children or what they become, they are always his." Let's now see these points on how to be a great Dad: • A Great Dad loves his family. He shows his love for his wife and his kids. He values the mother of his kids, r...

Eggshells (Episode 8)

Hello?" Silence. "Hello..." Silence. "Hello, I can hear you." "Hello Donald", came Jane's voice from the other end. Donald immediately recognized the voice and was shocked. He hadn't checked the number that was calling before he answered. But then again, he had Jane's contact on his phone; he knew he couldn't bring himself to deleting it no matter how much he tried to. He was the one to get silent this time around, his silence was probably due to shock. "Donald, are you there?" Silence. "This is Jane Agwu. I just thought I should call you to let you know that I'm around. I got back from London two days ago." He finally spoke. "Jane, it's been long. I searched for you where you used to live but I could not find you. I tried calling your number severally but it wasn't reachable. So good to know you're back." "Yes, I know. My sister told me everything." "She did?...

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from Tobi Afolabi (TASpeaks) on Comportment and Etiquette, a lesson delivered this year, in the month of February. Let's Talk About Series is a personal and career development discussion platform that discuss diverse topics to help boost people's productivity and build personal confidence. They are passionate about self discovery, and believe the strife for personal development helps in adding value to one's life; creating opportunities and setting priorities for the areas that make them most effective. You can check out the community on Facebook. ----- Tobi Afolabi: If I were to ask what we love most about Pastor E. A. Adeboye, I am likely to get comments such as he is humble, generous, polite, well dressed, cultured... If I ask same for Buhari, Dangote, Steve Harris, Jimi Tewe and many more, I am equally likely to get a similar feedback. Doesn't it amaze you that we...

Let the Evidence Confirm Your Belief

By -
Image
We all know how it plays out, when a person is arrested and taken to the Court. Usually, they are accused of a crime but considered Innocent, until proven Guilty. In court, the case is tried. The accusers (plaintiff) try to prove beyond reasonable doubt that they are guilty of the offence(s) they have been charged with, while the  lawyer(s) (the defendant) try to defend the accused and get them cleared of the charges. The Judge then passes a verdict of "guilt" or "discharged and acquitted" at the end of the trial depending on the amount of evidence for or against the accused. Normally, the accused will also be allowed to testify but ultimately, EVIDENCE is the chief determinant of the verdict to be passed. Now let's do something with this analogy I just pointed out. Let's say for instance, you get arrested and charged with the crime of "being a Christian". Yes, let's say you are charged with the crime of "being a Christian", and you ...
