Life is too short to be limited!

By -

If you are the average of the 5 people you spend your time with the most, who will you be?

You can't roll with chicken and expect to fly like a eagle.
You can't be a chicken and expect to roam with eagles.

In all you do, seek constant improvement and never blackmail yourself emotionally to stay with people who don't have your kind of vision.

We only have one life to live and the only way to influence what people will say after we are gone is to live a life in sync with expectations.

Life is too short to be limited.

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...

Love Should Not Blind You

By -
Image
Blindness is lacking all consciousness or awareness. Inability to perceive and lacking the sense of sight. Marriage is beautiful if You marry right! The person you decide to marry is a reflection of your wisdom and deep knowledge at the time you married the person. You need to be alert when it comes to any type of relationship including Marriage. Prov 13:20 – He that walks with the wise shall become wise but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. So He that goes beyond just walking with the wise to marry the wise, communes, interacts, walks and negotiate and starts a family with the wise is really wise. Now how about he who decides not to only stay in the companion of a foolish person but moves to the level of marriage? It is a serious issue! Your relationship will determine the experiences of your life including marital relationship. ( Excerpts from Favour Osiri-Wisdom's new book – HOW NOT TO MARRY AN I.D.I.O.T.) By: Ekwe Chijioke

Success Story: Anna Phosa

Like it will be always said, behind every success lies struggles, some devotion, hard work, patience and perseverance. What's most important about success stories is to appreciate the story behind the success, and not the success itself. Today, we talk about another African, this time, a South African.

Write to us through our e-mail: plusliferelationship@gmail.com or through the Facebook page: Positive Life & Relationship Anna Phosa's ambition had been to be a Nurse, but life took a different turn.

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...

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from Tobi Afolabi (TASpeaks) on Comportment and Etiquette, a lesson delivered this year, in the month of February. Let's Talk About Series is a personal and career development discussion platform that discuss diverse topics to help boost people's productivity and build personal confidence. They are passionate about self discovery, and believe the strife for personal development helps in adding value to one's life; creating opportunities and setting priorities for the areas that make them most effective. You can check out the community on Facebook. ----- Tobi Afolabi: If I were to ask what we love most about Pastor E. A. Adeboye, I am likely to get comments such as he is humble, generous, polite, well dressed, cultured... If I ask same for Buhari, Dangote, Steve Harris, Jimi Tewe and many more, I am equally likely to get a similar feedback. Doesn't it amaze you that we...

This is one of the best shortest books I've read so far. It's so short (about 41 pages) that one could finish it within a couple of hours. But every page of it; almost every paragraph of it has an inspiring bomb! It's a book one could go through every morning if possible, or maybe at the beginning of the week. It's cool! Think like a Champion was written by America's 45th and current president, Donald Trump. Donald is a successful businessman and television personality, and he shares so much successful tips that's helpful to everyone who wants success and wants to stay successful. I'll share a little of what I learnt from this book. I want you to get this book, and have some mental fun with it, as well. • Never sell yourself short! No matter what, maintain your faith and believe in yourself and your abilities. Don't compromise to please others. If you're talented and passionate about something, make positive use of that talent and pa...

God has no dual personality, God is His Word and whatsoever He says

August 21, the West stood still as the Sun blacked out for a few minutes to cast a most beautiful dusk on the earth. It was the Eclipse of the sun - the ones we read in geography textbooks. It's been 99 years since that last happened and this time around, 7 million Americans watched beneath protective sunglasses as the moon shone like a ring of silvery glass and the sun seemed cast into a dark, eternal abyss. To make a fetish of the event, some people worshipped, some prayed. To many, it was an event to remind them how real, if not how great, God is. Indeed, God must be beautiful! This would be until August 25, when Hurricane Harvey, a category 4 storm, swept through Texas destroying everything in its trail. Nearly 50 people died in its wake. At home in Markurdi Nigeria, a mudslide toppled 5000 houses and scores of lives were buried in cold blood. It's not long that Sierra Leone mourned their dead from natural disaster. The Phillippinos have had its share of storm surges and ...

Whose Fault? You are responsible for the pregnancy of your life

Two days back, I went to the café regards NYSC registration issues. On getting there and making my intent known, the café guy said to me that the site was not yet opening as he had already checked that morning. I dropped my number, and asked him to give me a call or just flash when it does. I took his number too and went home. Over an hour later, no call. So I decided to call him, and when I asked him about the site, he said: "it's now accessible". Even as I headed out to the café, I kept wondering why he never called as we agreed. On getting there, the way he was acting — I doubted that the guy had seen me before. I once entered a taxi; turned out that I had never been to where I was headed to, that day. So I told the conductor where I was headed to and that I know it not. He said okay, no problem. So I relaxed, after all, I have informed conductor (sighs). The conductor forgot me and my destination. I was soon way past my destination, I trekked that day plus extra tran...

Reframe the meaning of your past experiences to be able to excel in the present

By -
Image
You can either carry the pains of your past as excess baggage or convert it into a fuel of love to propel you into your greatness. The choice is yours, because the past is gone and cannot be undone. However, the meanings we ascribe to the tragedies of our past is hardwired into our subconscious and dictates most of our thought processes and decision-making in the present. The way we interpret those events can be rewired to give positive meanings to our pain. We must see those ugly experiences as part of a grand design that is intended to bring out the beauty in us. We must see our past as a strengthening process, a necessary refinement procedure that was aimed at leading us to our authentic self. Some of us have been through events that were not any fault of ours but we cannot continue to wallow in self-pity because life just keeps moving forward. Most times we are not aware that our past is haunting us but if we sit down to reflect in honest meditation, the truth will reveal itself. L...
