From BITTER TO BETTER

By -

3rd of May 2012, I reached a milestone age but with lots of dashed hopes and expectations that made me tag that year the darkest moment of my life.

And as usual, deep emotions provoke my poetry prowess, so I penned down this poem I titled – 'from BITTER to BETTER':

Your deepest fear is often not the thickness of your darkness;
Your deespest fear is often the light in you that you fail to harness!
Your biggest worry is not really about your capacity to live in pleasure;
Your biggest worry is really about your capacity that's beyond measure!
What stresses you is less of what you don't have control over;
What stresses you is more of what you can control but fail to discover!
What drains you is less of the heaviness of what you bear on your head;
What drains you is more of your heart's heaviness when hope is dead!

Show me a man that is totally free of today's challenging marketplace;
And I'll show you a man denied the chance of mastering his space!
Show me a man celebrating being totally free of any societal strife;
And I'll show you the man who inspires no other man to fight for his life!
For it won't matter at the end, what challenges you've had to face;
What would matter is who you've become because of the challenging race!
Knowing thus that in all these, you are not designed to get bitter;

Let's therefore wake up and shake off any bitterness to get better!

You are unstoppable!

You do not need to invite the Holy Spirit

By -
Image
I and a friend discussed about this today, and he disagreed wholly, until I showed him the Word. I once used to pray like this whenever we were to go into an 'anointing service.' “We invite the Holy Spirit into this place.” “The Holy Spirit really showed up this morning!” If you have been a Christian for any amount of time, you have no doubt heard these expressions. In fact, you have probably said at least one of them yourself. I know I have! Many believers today often open up church services or worship meetings with prayers like “come, Holy Spirit!” Yet I suspect these prayers may not need to be prayed. Indeed, they may actually cause more harm than good. Allow me to explain. As a Christian, I believe that any person who puts their faith (active trust) in Jesus is given the Holy Spirit. He is described in the Bible as a “seal” we have been given (2 Corinthians 1:22), and as a promised gift from God (Acts 2:38, Acts 10:45). Throughout the New Testament, ever after God

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

Understanding the Factors that make Children Brilliant

I am sharing this article I came across on Facebook. The Credit goes to The Raise Genius Children Group, a group on Facebook. Here goes the article: This is a long article but you can't raise smart kids if you won't read so lets go lovely parents. Every parent I have met wants a brilliant child and I have also met some that would get enraged if a child comes back with a subpar report card and even go as far as beating a child that isn’t doing fantastic in class. I always wonder why they do that because the truth is there are a lot of factors that make a child brilliant and very few of them depends on the child. In fact I can say the only factor that depends on the child is concentration and seriousness. Every other thing including the ability to think, assimilate, read, memorize, prepare and a host of others fall under the purview of the parents whether consciously or unconsciously. WITH THAT SAID WE WILL LOOK AT THE LONG HELD NATURE VERSUS NURTURE DEBATE: The "Nat

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

Life Lessons from the Clock

Photo credit: Wikipedia Staring at my clock one sunny afternoon at home, I began to notice some unique features of the clock which could also help imbibe in us important life lessons which when practiced will enable us get to the peak of success in our various endeavors. Let us take a look at these features; 1. Each ticking of the second hand offers you another opportunity to start all over again . That is, giving up when you fail should be the last option in your mind. There's always an opportunity to start all over and do things differently. And always remember, for a child of God, this opportunity comes with renewed mercies to help you. Lamentations 3:23. 2. Once a particular set time passes, it cannot be regained anymore. It's gone FOREVER!!.  Therefore make the most of every opportunity. Yes, I know it contradicts the first lesson. But think about this deeply. When you have an opportunity to do something, make sure you make the most of it cause even if you get anot

The Attitude Of A Champion

By -
Image
You are not a Champion because you wore a bespoke attire. Champions are not advertised on Facebook. You do not exaggerate it. A Champion is a Champ because of an attitude. A winning attitude. Champions have great character. Champions are disciplined people. Champions are people with honour. Champions do not want to succeed by bringing others down. Champions are team players. Champions do not glory in themselves. Champions are not satisfied with where they are at the moment. Champions may be local but think globally, or they may be global but appropriate their ideas to fit their local environment. It is sad our society fails to honour the true Champions, but that is changing. I celebrate my Champions today. By: Okwudiri Anasiudu

3 Idiots (2009)

I thought of the second movie to write about and I picked this one. It is one amazing movie I love to watch repeatedly. After the first time I watched it on my mobile, it was deleted. I had to search for it and get it back, and since then, its been there. 3 Idiots is an Indian movie starring Aamir Khan (Ranchoddas Shamaldas Chanchad / Chhote / Phunsukh Wangdu), R. Madhavan (Farhan Qureshi), Sharman Joshi (Raju Rastogi), Kareena Kapoor (Pia Sahastrabuddhe), Boman Irani (Dr Viru Sahastrabuddhe; the Engineering college Director), Omi Vaidya (Chatur Ramalingam) and Rahul Kumar (Millimeter), among others. Photo Credit: Wikipedia Readers, if you haven't watched this movie, I'll recommend you do. Let's see what I learnt from the movie: • Life is actually a race, but not a race to compete with others; it's a race with oneself. Follow Excellence and Success will chase you! Rancho taught this lesson to his friends, Raju and Fahran. While Rancho came first at
