I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from one of the sessions we had this year.

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...

Wisdom

By -
Image
If you discover you are one of the few that operate in extraordinary wisdom, don't be too hasty to lend your voice to every trend and discussion because your suggestions and contributions will almost always stick and be accepted as a truth even when it is not because people have over times watched your consistency in display of wisdom. Some people are here to steer others aright. If you are one of those God has given this responsibility, you have to be very careful so you don't lead many to destruction. If people listen to you when you talk, agree almost all the time to your contributions on a pressing issue or seek your contribution before making a conclusion to an issue, just know you may be one of the rare breeds, you may be one of the Custodians of wisdom notwithstanding your age. The best thing to do in situations when your opinion is sought and you are not very informed or convinced about an issue is to be silent or to pend your contribution. This will save you a lot o...

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...

Law of Life

By -
Image
When a Newspaper Reporter interviewed a farmer who grew Award-Winning Maize each year he entered his maize in the Agricultural Show, it was revealed that the farmer shared his seed with his neighbours. Perplexed, the reporter asked, “How can you afford to share your best seed with your neighbours when they are entering their maize in competition with yours each year?” The farmer smiled knowingly and explained, “The wind picks up pollen from the ripening maize and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior maize, Cross-Pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my maize. If I am to grow good maize, I must help my neighbours grow a good crop.” So it is with our lives. Those who want to live meaningfully and well, must help enrich the lives of others. For the value of a life, is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy, must help others find happiness. For the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all. Call it power of colle...

Rush Hour (1998)

By -
Image
Rush Hour is an American buddy action comedy film that stars Jackie Chan (Detective Inspector Lee) and Chris Tucker (Detective James Carter) as mismatched cops who must rescue the Chinese consul's (Consul Solon Han) kidnapped daughter. Photo Credit: Wikipedia What did I learn from Rush Hour? • Sometimes, one's dream(s) becomes reality in the most unexpected and funny of ways. I admire people who take life happily, make fun out of the seriousness of life, and at the same time, still stay focused on their dreams with optimism, trying to make great use of opportunities that comes around them. Detective Carter of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the cop who doesn't go with a partner on cop duties (he had lost his Dad who was also a cop due to the failure of his dad's partner to back him up), unlike his other colleagues in the police department, seemed to be regarded as a joker, a carefree cop in the LAPD. If every cop in the LAPD were to be ranke...

I Am, I Can, I Will, and that is All

By -
Image
I have come to discover from personal experience, and from observation that a lot of how people perceive or relate with us depends on the way we relate with ourselves.. I have had cause to deal with persons who gave me too many reasons not to take them seriously, and I didn't, why should I? And I have had cause to deal with people who I had no option but to take them serious, they gave me no option, these are people you just can't ignore or take lightly. I have done things that I should not ordinarily have done based on certain criteria like age, and marital status, and people were okay with it, why? Because I myself see no reason why I can't, so they see no reason why I shouldn't. People will only take you seriously if you take yourself seriously. As a rule, "PEOPLE WILL NEVER TAKE YOU MORE SERIOUSLY THAN YOU TAKE YOURSELF". When You change the way You look at yourself, people will change the way they look at You. When You change the way You think about...

Results are direct Products of right and timely Actions

Life does not have a remote control where you can sit where you are (your comfort zone) to change the pictures you see on its screen! If you don't like what you are seeing now about your present and future; get up from your seat/'siddon' look (from your apathy, self-pity, regrets, sadness, blaming others, excuses, etcetera), move towards the TV screen (face head on, the picture of your life that you don't like), grab the TV switch button (track the emotions and habits that are feeding that unwanted picture of your life), and change the channel (break free from the sabotaging habits/emotions)! That you're used to a particular way of emotionally/habitually responding to your life's challenges doesn't make it useful! Results are direct products of right and timely actions even when they aren't comfortable and life only starts at the end of your comfort zone! (After all, labour pains precede a human baby popping out). I see an extra fab week ahead of you...

Content marketing on social media

So, you don't know how to make money through Facebook groups? Here's what you should do. "Sir, I don't know how to leverage Facebook groups for my business. They don't allow advertisement and they allow it on sell on market days only." Does this sound familiar? People have been asking me why content marketing does not work for their business and I only have three answers to that: • You don't write using a proven template that delivers. • You are communicating the right message to the wrong audience. • You no sabi write compelling content... People are on social media to have fun. And most times, our friends and family may not be our target audience and that may render your content marketing strategies useless. This means you can't afford to ignore Facebook communities totally. I'm sure you are wondering, what should you do? I will explain this and assume you make and sell wigs... First, identify your target. Men don't wear wigs (unles...
