Do not Just Acquire; Inspire!

By -

There is a rising need to acquire things among youths in the twenty-first century. Many of the youths wants to acquire wealth, knowledge, fame and any thing that adds money to their bank accounts. But is acquisition all there is to life? Let's take for instance our Savior Jesus Christ. He acquired something but what He acquired became a source of restoration for many.

Jesus acquired Salvation by laying down His life. He acquired a name that is above every other name. But guess what?
He didn't acquire that for His own benefit! He did it for us!

In the same way, in all our acquisition, don't just acquire, You need to also inspire and bring hope to people around You.

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...

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...

It's Your Pregnancy. Don't let it die!

By -
Image
Let me tell you a Story - a true Life Story. It was in the late 50's, the medical field then was still in its infancy. A Woman got pregnant and she gave birth to a son. Years later, she got pregnant again, and went to meet her Doctor. She said to her Doctor, "I am pregnant". Her Doctor said; "no, you are not". But she insisted that she was, that she know it and could feel it in her. The Doctor however said, "it's a growth in you, not a baby. Just go, you will be fine". The lady went back to her normal business. Forty years later, she began to feel abdominal pain. Her son rushed her to the hospital. Thank God that by then, the medical field had advanced technologically. Investigations were carried out, and it was discovered that she had actually been pregnant forty years ago, and that the fetus had died and crystallized inside her. Her baby died, in Her. What's that pregnancy you are carrying? That dream you have, you know it. You know you we...

Thoughts and Words – Attitudes and Actions

By -
Image
So this morning (on the day this was written), a friend and I got into a conversation and we were talking about work and how she wants her day to go. She started with "Oh! I wish my day would just go smooth, with little and stressless patients in the hospital, I don't want to make a mistake oh!" And with all the sorry wishes... Immediately! She got a hold on herself and said "No! My day will be stressless, I'll make no silly mistakes, my day will go smoothly..." You know, for a moment I tried to analyze and simulate the event and then I remembered something I read: ATTITUDE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN FACTS. How you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. We build up the feeling of security or insecurity by how we think, and by extension how we live. We just can't go by the day with sorry wishes. We need to first, expect the best from our day, confess the best, and most importantly work out the best. The result of our day i...

Never Ask Them For Money

By -
Image
When you meet Dangote today or someone who can take you to the next level, what would you ask from him? How would you play and how would you beg? The worst thing you can ask from wealthy people or those in position of authority is money, because they wouldn't give you enough if they even give you at all. That doesn't mean that they are wicked people who don't like to give or help, it is because they are wealthy not rich, so they don't have much to give you. If you are "cash happy", you are said to be rich. If you are "asset happy", you are said to be wealthy. And since being asset happy or acquiring a lot of assets is one of the ways the wealthy get their money to work for them, they are more often than not well invested in their businesses and assets to have enough cash with them to share around. So, they hardly have money to give. And it stresses them when such request is slightly suggested. This is why your high earning uncle who works wit...

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...

Unique You

The Lord wants me to encourage someone here this morning... I remember when I used to wonder if I could actually do what God has called me to do. I would look at people doing theirs and I would be like, 'Lord, I can't do what this person is doing. I can't do it the way that person is doing it. I am not like them. I don't have their kind of personality. I don't know how to express myself that way. Blah, blah, blah... ' Then the Lord said to me: 'I didn't call you to do what they do. I didn't call you to do it the way they do it. You don't need their kind of personality to do what I called you to do. You don't need their way of expressing themselves to do it. They didn't get their results because of those things that bother you. They got their results because they went at my command. And they do it the way I want them to do it. You will get yours, too; if you go by my commands. I called you to do it differently... ' Bimbola Tayo...

The liver is an essential organ, the largest internal organ in the human body. It has a wide range of functions, including detoxification of various metabolites, protein synthesis, and the production of biochemicals necessary for digestion. It also plays a role in metabolism, regulation of glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells and hormone production. It is said that the liver has over 500 functions. Here are important points to note about having a healthy liver: Foods with lot of fiber, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, cereals, are healthy to the liver.

You must not Quit

By -
Image
When things goes wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you are trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't you quit! Life is queer with its twist and turns, As everyone sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he struck it out; So don't give up, though the pace seems slow, You might succeed with another blow! Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint in the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar ; So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit, It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit!

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...
