The Power of Laziness

By -

Laziness is the inactivity resulting from the dislike of work.

Everyone has a wish, dream, for a better life. Everyone's got talent and potential. Most people want to be so rich that they end up building castles in the air. When you are engaged or involved in the power of laziness, you tend to build castles in the air with no pillars or foundation to support them.

And the Great Book says a wise man builds his house upon a rock and a foolish man builds his house upon a sand, so in all thy getting, get understanding.

On the long run, laziness brings you no good. In fact, it robs you of a bright future.
To overcome the power of laziness is to have an understanding and a revelation of who you are because when you do so, you will automatically be free.

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...

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

By -

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...

Your personal health and fitness is essential!

"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...

Forget about the noise, Shoot for Your Dreams

By -
Image
Too many people refuse to set high goals for themselves, or even neglect achieving their dreams because they fear the criticism of relatives and friends who may say "Don't aim so high, people will think you're crazy". People refuse to take chances in business, because they fear the criticism which may follow if they fail. The fear of criticism in such cases is stronger than the DESIRE for Success. One thing is certain, whether you start a business or not, people will still talk about you, so why don't you close you mind and eye to what people will say and go achieve your dreams???

Focus on Yours and Use it Well, and You will be Given More

It happens almost everyday. And every time it happens, I just glean the lessons afresh. God has blessed us with two sons. One eats so much that it sometimes takes sleep to prevent his mouth from working and his lips from moving. The other has to be chased with food - he is rarely self-motivated when it comes to eating. Most times, after one has had like three servings, the other is still battling with one and of course, the reality of his asking for more does not happen every day. But the more the eater eats, the more he is given more to eat. And while sometimes, I feel like giving the noneater more, I just know he can't handle more. ----- The five talented man only had more given to him because he used the first round given to him. The two talented man was given more only because he used the first round given to him. The reason the one talented man was not given more to use was because the one given to him was not used. Giving him more would not motivate him to use it, but...

Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -

A lot of us have become used to using salt to kill earthworms when we encounter any in our houses. I've thought about this for a while now, but I recently decided to check it up and I'll share what I learnt about the science. Before that, I'll share some points about earthworms: - They are in the lumbricus genus, there are various species of earthworms, but the common earthworm's scientific name is lumbricus terrestris - Their digestive system runs through the length of their skin - Earthworms respire through their skin - They are hermaphrodites (each one carries both male and female sex organs) - They lack either an internal skeleton or exoskeleton , but maintain their structure with fluid-filled coelom chambers that function as a hydrostatic skeleton. Okay, let's talk about salt and earthworms: Earthworms respire and secrete mucus through their skins. Salt (sodium chloride) has the ability of absorbing moisture (desiccant). When a large quantity of salt i...
