Vulnerability

By -

To be vulnerable is to be exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed either physically or emotionally.
One way or another, we all have felt that way and while we are in that state, we are in desperate need of a saviour.
But do we really know who to run to, where to go and how to ask for help?
Different thoughts comes to mind. We humans, to an extent do not want to be perceived as weak. But if You don't show that weakness, how will you get in contact with the person that has answers to what you need?. If you don't ask the right questions how will you get the right answers?

Showing weakness does not mean you are weak or silly literally. It simply means that you have got strength to rise above mediocrity.

Don't be afraid to ask for help when you are in need, because that is only when salvation comes.
Even the Bible says "Ask and it shall be given". It also says "confession brings possession".
How will God bless your steps if you are unwilling to move your feet.
Think about it!

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...

Do not excuse failure for any reason

By -
Image
"Do not Excuse Failure, for any reason on any account" – Cobhams Asuguo. "I was born blind. No one else among my six siblings is blind. There was no cause for my blindness. No explanation. Doctors just said to my parent that I cannot see with my eyes. And since I’ve never experienced sight, and my mum won’t stop sending me on normal errands, I wasn't aware that I was without sight. So, as a young boy, I indulged in everything. I ran everywhere. I ran into walls and furniture. Ran into people. Jumped over gutters. Played hard and fought even harder to the extent that onlookers will shake their head and say in Pidgin English: 'Person wey we dey feel sorry for, e no dey feel sorry for himself.' But I never mind because I didn't understand what the pity was all about. But as I grew older and I gained more understanding of the intricacies of living as a sightless person in a world designed for sighted people, I was faced with the looming possibility of failu...

Real wealth comes through solving problems

By -
Image
I'm not certain of the actual writer of this, but I think it's worth sharing on this space. Thumbs up to the Writer! ----- The major secret of billionaires is their ability to find solutions to the challenges of humanity. All of them created solutions that brought the billions. Presently, Bill Gates is spending millions of dollars in search of renewable energy. By the time he finds one and become a major player in the electricity industry, we will say he is lucky. But we forget that he didn't pray for financial breakthrough, he only found a solution to a global problem. Wealthy people don't necessarily look for money, they create solutions, and money will follow them! Larry Page and Sergey Brin went all out to help humanity find things faster on the internet, and billions of dollars followed them. Mark Zuckerberg created platforms for socialization, and over $71 billion followed him. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak went all out to reduce the size of computer. What ...

Your personal health and fitness is essential!

By -

"I am as passionate about personal health and fitness as I am about financial health. I believe your health is your most prized possession. It amazes me how many people pay no attention to their health. ... You know what you’re supposed to eat. We all do. Fresh fruits and vegetables, complex carbs, salads, whole foods, lean meats, more fish and poultry than beef... You know it, I know it, we all know it. So why do so many of us still go out and chow down cheeseburgers and fries every day? I’ll tell you why: because it won’t kill us. Not today. If you ate a cheeseburger and immediately suffered a near-fatal heart attack, would you ever go near a cheeseburger again? I doubt it. It may take twenty or thirty years, but when you add up the compounded interest on all that high-fat, artery-clogging dietary mayhem, eventually your poor overworked heart just quits, stops dead. And so do you. It has been said that we dig our graves with our teeth. It’s easy to ea...

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...

Honest Self Reflection helps Us Grow

By -
Image
Deep self-reflection is at the core of the spiritual healing process. It involves holding a mirror up to one's own activities, beliefs, assumptions and judgements about their lives. It is about developing an awareness of the limits of your knowledge and being extremely mindful that the truths you hold about the nature of reality may not be universally held. Reflection is a spiritually humbling process that opens our inner eyes to the underlying paradoxes that make up the beliefs that we hold so dearly. Honest reflection also creates an awareness that attracts the right kind of people and sequence of events that bring the needed growth in your life. By: Uchenna Ilo
