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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

Productizing Your Services

By -

The easiest way to make more money from your business is to productize some of your services. So, if a client who wants to have a website approaches me, he has two options. It's either I design the site for him or I give him a video tutorial that teaches him how to do it. Either way, I'm making money. In the case where he doesn't have money at all, well, I send him to a free guide that teaches him the basics. Who knows, he might still come back to me in the future for consultation or something else. The good thing is you can create products from almost every services you render. What of a lawyer who wrote a book on how to register a business with CAC effortlessly? What about the graphic designer who created a video tutorial on how to design? Remember GTB *737#? It's a product. Now start thinking of how to productize your services. Mention any service you render and I'll tell you how to productize it. By: Promise Excel

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...

Insecurity in a Relationship

By -

Insecurity makes you so anxious and afraid of losing what you already have. The more you express insecurity in a relationship, the more you gradually start losing what was initially yours. Even if the certainty of the union got it's origin from Divine declaration, if the problem of insecurity is not dealt with, it is more than capable of ruining what God has even ordained. This is why it is so important to deal with d problem of insecurity before commencing any relationship. And if a relationship has already begun with the problem undealt with initially, there could still be hope if we take a pause and deal with it first, before continuing the relationship. Knowing how to trust God totally and leaving the future for Him to decide (with a consciousness that He has your happiness at heart) is the only antidote I know at this moment, for that debilitating disease called insecurity. ----- Insecurity is a really terrible disease. It aims to spoil the beauty of every well meaning re...

• The man who divorced his wife within seconds of marrying her.. In 2012, a Dubai man divorced his wife within seconds of marrying her. Immediately after the ceremony, the man ducked out of the courtroom where the wedding occurred, and into another nearby courtroom and divorced her. His reason? Abdul Salam Darweesh, director of the family rehabilitation and guidance section at Dubai's court, explains: "The groom said that his bride's father made a condition that his daughter must keep her job after marriage and that he accepted this condition because he was too embarrassed to say no….he said that he had thought the problem was sorted out with his bride but that she insisted on keeping her job." • The bride who was attacked by her new husband.. In 2012, Tammy Driver, then 21, and Nicky Pearce, then 29, split after just four days of marriage; when the groom accused his bride of flirting with the best man, then beat her up and smashed all their presents.
