Lagbaja’s Family Budget (By Mute Efe)

By -
Image
While a lot of us have heard about Goal Setting and may have even taken classes on Goal Setting; not many of us have given much attention to budgeting. However, when it comes to financial goals, budgeting is a critical aspect. Budget is a broad concept and a little complex. However, I am going to try and make it as simple as possible so you can get a good grasp of it. Simply put, budgeting is stating how your money will be spent. Now that will be easy if you already had the money in your account and you are only drawing up a list of how to spend that money. But it is not so. The reality is that you don’t have the money yet but you still have to plan how to spend the money. So you are drawing up a list of what you will need money for in 2018 and how much money you will need. It is that information you will then input into your financial goals for 2018 so you can come up with a plan on how to get that money. What are the expenses you will incur in 2018? You have to be detailed. Capt...

Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

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...

Great Attitude has a strong healing power!

By -
Image
That was how I kept going back to this mini Restaurant for the past four months or so. Credit: Nonso Kingsley Nwosu Special point of interest to me was the manner at which she smiles and greets her customers of which majority are younger than her; the kind of quality she adds to the food at an affordable price; the neatness and excellence she prepares the food with (with apron and cooking gloves); the joy and enthusiasm her workers have in working for her (she influenced them with such a positive attitudinal prowess); the distance Guys and Ladies have to trek or drive just to eat her food... At first, I thought it was just because of the quality and affordability of the food. But now I think; that was just part of it, it wasn't the main secret behind it. I didn't arrive at these conclusions based on subjective preferences she may have towards me, wouldn't even want to start that because she literally serves me as a king each time I came to eat. "I do...

Keep Up with the Good work, keep being the light

A man was asked to paint a boat. He brought with him paint and brushes and began to paint the boat a bright red, as the owner asked him. While painting, he noticed that there was a small hole in the hull, and quietly repaired it. When finished painting, he received his money and left. The next day, the owner of the boat came to the painter and presented him with a nice cheque, much higher than the payment for painting. The painter was surprised and said "You've already paid me for painting the boat Sir!" "But this is not for the paint job. It's for having repaired the hole in the boat." "Ah! But it was such a small service... certainly it's not worth paying me such a high amount for something so insignificant." "My dear friend, you do not understand. Let me tell you what happened. When I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention about the hole. When the boat dried, my kids took the boat and went on a fishing trip. They did n...

I went to Learn!

The face you give when you launch a new product and instead of people to buy they say "Congratulations, I am proud of you". Am I the only that has experienced this? When I first launched my first book, At the River Bank, I had a lot of people that told me Congratulations, the moral support was something else but that Moral support demoralized me and I gave into depression. Do you know why? Only one person purchased my book on the day I launched it. The person that even purchased the book was my friend, Promise Excel. Over 300 congratulations and only one person purchased the book. How does that sound? Have you been in this same situation? I was sharing this story with Bella the other day and I realized how much I've grown from that experience. I almost took up on Social Media to say "Mbok thank you for all the Moral support but abeg buy the book na". Thank God I didn't do that, I wonder what would have happened to my brand by now. I realized that I ...

Excellent Attitude plus Skills equals Success

By -
Image
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...

Your Mind must keep being in control

By -
Image
You probably may have tried different exploits to get something to work or done but it seem to be infeasible. It gets worse when it drains you away and there is no strength left to give it just one more push. This is the break point – that moment when all you need is just a slight push but your strength is failing you. If your body is weak, your mind cannot afford to be weak. Your mind controls your body. If your will to Succeed in anything is low, there is a chance that you cannot win, for the desire to win and see the end of that, has to be and must be greater than the fear which comes when you doubt yourself or what you can do. Persevere and let the end game drive your desire to stand up and give it that final push that makes all the difference... ©Mindset ~Trippleff By: Tripple Friddle Frizzle Tff

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...

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...
