Excellent Attitude plus Skills equals Success

By -
An excellent attitude is the key to success.
Yesterday (on the day this was written), a friend called me and asked me to recommend someone to do a job. I suggested someone to him who was undoubtedly super skilled in what he does. His response was, "He's good BUT I can't deal with his attitude".
Then I immediately recommended someone else who does not only have great skill but a great attitude too.
You see, in life, great skills will take you to the top but only an excellent attitude that'll keep you there.
While you're busy acquiring vocational and digital skill, take a moment to grab (as it were) interpersonal skills. Learn how to relate with people like human. Don't insist on being right. Sometimes play the fool game. Be kind. Be humble. Be considerate. Be empathetic. Be respectful.
Most times, excellent attitude pays higher than competence. And when excellent attitude meets great competence, massive success is inevitable.
So tell me, attitude and competence, which do you consider first when hiring someone?

Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -
Image
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...

Originality is beautiful

What makes Love beautiful is it's ability to look beyond flaws. These flaws in us makes it adventurously challenging. Whatever is not challenging gets boring too quick but then a lot of people get drenched in this feeling knowing the flaws and then try to change the other person to be more like what they were not originally. Originality is beautiful and someone who chooses to be with you, fight on the same side with you, must have seen something beautiful, peculiar about you. If they least appreciate you but try to change your natural formation and what constitute your uniqueness, identity, personality, then you don't belong with them. Love comes with submissiveness which should never be taken for stupidity or likened to outright compromise of character modification. Tripple Friddle Frizzle Tff

Money Management 101

By -
Image
This is what I taught my employees today (on the day this was written). As it's my usual practice (because I don't want them to be employees forever), I taught my employees something very important as regard wealth creation today. I told them about a man who laughed at me because I'm using small phones. I told one of them – look at the phone I'm using, (talking about my personal phone). Since you've been here with me, did you ever see me with any expensive clothes or shoes? The reason is because I am an entrepreneur (at the wealth creation stage). When you see someone who is spending lavishly, I taught them; be sure he doesn't make money. People who steal or inherit money blow it anyhow.The next to them are people who work for money (the employees). This is unfortunate (but very true). Most employees work extremely hard for money and lavishly spend those hard earned papers to make entrepreneurs richer. They are poor but want to look rich, latest phones, nic...

This is a Story by Musa Gift (MG). MG is a popular Guest Contributor on this blog. The Story is in three parts, which have all been put together here as the complete story. ----- PART 1 JANE BADMUS: My phone beeps, as the 'new text message' icon comes up. It's 9.00 pm. Thank God it's Friday. The night promises to be cold, I am already dressed up for it anyway. I pick up my phone to read the text message. I wonder if it's my Mum, she promised to brief me on the outcome of the family meeting held in account of my upcoming introduction. However, it's not my Mum, it's Matilda calling. I cursed under my breath. What does she want again? Hasn't she done enough damage? I asked no one in particular. "Oh God, get this girl off my back for good" I say silently as I tap the message icon to read it. Matilda is Samuel's ex. Samuel is my fiancé. Matilda returned from the states months back and she has been trying, no, fighting tooth and nail to g...

Rags (2012)

So I picked this movie as the first I'll write about on this label. I've watched lot of movies, deleted some, but this is one of those I find it difficult to delete. I just have to delete some others to create space for some more movies I want to watch.. This is one of the movies I'll recommend if you are looking for one to give you some motivation. Rags is a musical film, starring a number of characters, two of which are most outstanding. Charlie Prince (Max Schneider) and Kadee Worth (Keke Palmer) both got musical talents, but of different financial backgrounds. Photo Credit: Wikipedia Charlie, who had lost his mum and was from the lower financial background, had great passion for his talent and always believed he will be someone great one day. He kept up his faith, even with his discouraging step dad and step brothers. Anyway, he got that little family (Diego and Martha) which kinda filled a gap and gave him some inspiration. He had his fears, sometimes doubte...

Why do People think that Introverts are Rude or Arrogant?

By -
Image
Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days. Myth #2 – Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite. Myth #3 – Introverts are rude. Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting. Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people. On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close fr...

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

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...
