Towards Mental Exploits by David .O. Oyedepo

By -

I read this book about four years ago, and it was a big turning point for me. Much was learnt, I'll share few of them today. You should check it out.

The lessons:

Death begins when one stops learning, and ageing starts from one's mind, not one's body. One remains young as far as he or she keeps learning;

One starts crashing once he or she stops pushing. One's ability to excel mentally is paralyzed once one stops trying and accepts that the results obtained is the best he or she can attain;

One's life becomes a burden when one's life is void of progress. And when one's brain isn't working towards anything, it becomes a weight on the body. The brain is motivated when it sees something ahead, something to work towards for;

One's success does not demand prayer and fasting, as much as engaging one's senses positively.

Have you read the book? What can you say about it? Let's share

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. Find your purpose: Every decisions I took springed from my discovery of Oladipupo. Though I was jobless in 2016, I used that year t...

You may be consuming high amounts of sugar and it's unhealthy for you

By -
Image
A lot of us must have heard that much sugar is not healthy, but a good number of persons still consume a large amount of it. Sugar is a carbohydrate and we have simple sugars (glucose, fructose, galactose) and more complex forms of it (sucrose, lactose, maltose). The sugar we consume is mostly in the form of sucrose, a disaccharide made up of glucose and fructose. When we consume sugar, it is metabolized to give us energy, but when high amounts of it is consumed, the body converts to body fats and store them. Sugar (sucrose) contains about 50% fructose, and fructose, which is actually the sweet part of sugar, responsible for the sweetness we taste when we take sugar is not good for us. Fructose is metabolized only by the liver which means there's a lot of work for one's liver to do. It is toxic to the liver especially in those who consume large amount of sugar (the human body is not meant to consume so much fructose). Also, sugar is ADDICTIVE due to fructose. Fructose suppress...

Success Story: Sir James Dyson

Image
Sir James Dyson is a British inventor, industrial designer and the founder of Dyson company. He's presently 70 years old (born in 1947). He was involved in some inventions including the sea truck in 1970, the Ballbarrow (his first original invention) and the Wheelboat, which can travel on both land and water. James Dyson is best know for inventing the Dual Cyclone bagless vacuum cleaner, the world's first bagless vacuum cleaner. Before it's invention, the hoover vacuum was in use but this vacuum had a dust bag which get clogged with dust and this affects its performance, as it losses suction. It took over 5,000 trials and failures and about 5 years (with support from his wife's salary as an art teacher) before Dyson succeeded. When he finally did at the age of 36, no distributor in the United Kingdom wanted to market his product. He had to market his product in Japan (1983) where it was awarded an industrial award. Three years later (1986), Dyson obtained his first US...

Word • Life • Men • God

Years ago, when I was still clawed by masturbation; I desperately needed help. The more I engaged in masturbation, the more I hated myself. But still, I couldn't get off the claws. I consulted several men of God who offered different solutions to my problem. One of the solutions a certain man of God offered got me off my butt. He said I would need to stop eating okra (ila). Of course, I believed him. Desperation makes you do anything, no matter how stupid it is. I thanked God my problem would end. Okra was one of my most-desired soups, but I had no choice. The man said I would stop masturbating if I strictly adhered to his so-called God-given instruction. I tried everything possible to avoid okra. No matter how much I desired and needed it, I still avoided it. For three years, my problem persisted. I masturbated even more. Still, I believed this man's lie, and still avoided okra, thinking Okra would mysteriously end my addiction. Even when I believed, and read the Word, I st...

You have to be Important to Yourself

About two months ago, a lady walked into the office and demanded for my time. We sat and exchanged pleasantries. I can’t forget it easily, her voice texture happened to be one of the finest I've had conversations with that time, well filtered. I complimented, but her response did not commensurate my altruistic praise. At least, I deserved “thank you Sir” Or, remove the sir “Bros, thank you”. I was worried why a grown lady like her did not understand etiquette. She asked, are you Christopher Peter? I said Yes. She continued.. “I was listening to you yesterday morning on radio (Love Fm) when you were talking on parenting, and something told me to come talk with you”. She started her chronicles; suddenly, her voice went dim and finally mute, her skin turned reddish, eyes swollen, body shaken, it wasn’t strange to me, so I encouraged her to take a deep breath and rest for a while. When she sum up courage and forced the words out, they splashed with tears and cry. The few words I coul...

People who stand for something are those who are consistent in their choices. Consistency helps build Reputation. Consistency helps build Result. Consistency is what we do repeatedly no matter what.
