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...

Giving a Positive meaning to the WHY

By -
Image
To learn, unlearn and relearn is a great path to personal growth. The room was packed with "hungry folks" as the music played and men reminiscent through their yonder days. Step by step, the mind travelled back to where it all began. The events that shaped us unveiled. We reached out to the files, dusted them and gave a positive meaning to every snap shot captured. You see, nobody is really bad, people just do bad things. Ted Bundy was known to all who knew him as a charming man. He was a volunteer at a suicide hotline and a college graduate. However, he was executed for the murder of 40 women in the '80s. Poland's famous serial killer Karl Denke was an active member of his community and even was an organist in church. Hmmm!!! People do what they do because of what they have been exposed to. People do the best they can with what they know. When you see people behave the way they do, be rest assured that the innocent mind has captured some snap shots and has giv...

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...

The Love connection and Passion

By -
Image
What you deem as important may not be of relevance to someone else. What you call your life purpose, the next person may never have heard of it. True love is about sacrificing yourself sometimes and paying attention to what is important to your partner regardless of whether you like it or not. That's the only way to understand their deepest passion and innermost feelings. The love connection should be founded from passion and not from the outward expression. The root is what counts and the root is always growing inwards. Let your foundation be as deep as the oceans and let your love grow as high and solid as the mountains. Let the world be your peace.

Dream Big, Aim High, Never give doubt a Chance

By -
Image
Behind every great idea, there will always be somebody who will be discouraging you by telling you that it won't work. They will tell you it won't be successful. They can even go to the extent of giving examples of people who have tried and failed. People will make attempt to make sure they discourage you from embarking on the journey to success but I want to tell you that nothing will be achieved by you if you are waiting for the time everybody will agree to support your dream. It is better to be alone achieving your dream than to be in midst of mediocre celebrating failures. Dream big, aim high, and never give doubt a chance. Ideas will always rule the world.

Donate to my ministry and receive the Anointing in return (Rubbish!)

By -
Image
The idea that an anointing from God can be IMPARTED from one person to another is NOT in the Bible. But if I can convince you that I have an anointing that you need, well, that pretty much makes you dependent upon me, doesn’t it? I have actually heard this idea of the imparted anointing, or partnership in anointing, preached many times. Marilyn Hickey, a highly visible Word/Faith teacher, and someone I would definitely brand a false teacher, openly promises that if you send her money, that "you will tap into the anointing God has put upon her ministry." Below is a cut and paste directly from her website at https://www.mhmin.org/donate/FCP2006.htm ********** "You can SEE more ANSWERS to PRAYER in 2006! experience a GREATER ANOINTING Do you want to rest assured that God will answer your prayers? Do you want to trust HIM to make a way out of even the most difficult circumstances? What you're looking for may be found in two powerful words... M i n i s t r...

Not Your Way

Naman, the general was a great man. He had a but in his life, he was a Leper. He was so interested and desperate to get healed, that he followed the words of a young girl and went all out on it. He got the permission of the king and travelled down to Isreal. The journey was a risky one for, he could be taken hostage being a commander of a foreign army. He could be ambushed considering the bulk of riches he had with him. He took all the risk and arrived in Israel. Unfortunately for him, the man he was referred to did not even give him the attention he needed. Imagine the secretary of state of USA wanting to visit Adeboye in Nigeria. And all Adeboye would do is to send an usher to him, that he should go and bath inside Asejire river. That was demeaning.. humiliating. This was the dilemma faced by Naaman. He was humiliated and given an option that looked odd to him. He had assumed the manner with which the healing would take place. But Naaman went away angry. He said, "I was sure h...

What Value are You gaining from the 5000 Facebook friends list?

What Value are you getting from the 5000 Facebook friends list? - Who told you, you can't meet your wife or husband there? - Who said you can't get your next job there? - Why have they made you believe you can't be mentored online? - Why do you think that trainings you get there are of less value? - Why do you think you can't believe people there enough to be your business partners? I spoke about the reality of our new age some weeks back, emphasizing on the progressive shift from physical human contacts to virtual communication. These days some people can share something on their mind on Facebook or other social media platforms before ever mentioning it (that is if they would) to any body around them physically. Daily People are starting or building professional and intimate relationships on Facebook. A friend of mine who got married last year, shared a post on how she met her husband online (God fearing, tongue speaking... Lol) and today that are happily marrie...
