Two Choices

By -

Life is full of ups and downs. When we fall, we are tempted not to get up because of the uncertainties we don't want to confront. When we stay down, we don't accomplish anything, and we feel worse.
But when clean our eyes, dust ourselves up, get up and follow the light or hope, no matter how small it is, we'll surely feel better and fulfilled. Trust me.

So I leave you with two choices:

- Stay down, casted and blame those that hurt you, thereby giving them control over your life.
- Leave it all behind, learn from your mistakes, look forward and find happiness.

Stay Positive!

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...

Our Quotes today, will feature quotes from Nonso Kingsley Nwosu (The Strategist). • Be allergic to mediocrity. Don't accommodate Negativity. You are a Celebrity. • I just have a statistical feeling that "Wrong humility" has buried more destinies than "pride" itself. • Most people that look down on others don't have much Value. People of value are Simple and Humble. • My late Grandma told me to always be the first to throw a punch in a fight; that the chances that I will win is high. Because first punch destabilizes your opponent and makes him/her fight from the standpoint of fear. Don't defend "LIFE" till you die attack it! • Violence is the weakest form of anger expression.

Personal Brand Development (by Tobi Afolabi)

By -
Image
I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from one of the sessions held earlier this year, on Personal Brand Development by Tobi Afolabi, the pioneer of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. ---------- Tobi Afolabi : A lot has been shared on this community about personal branding which all balls down to the fact that it is the perception people have about us and what we do. These things we do may be conscious or unconscious to us, but the fact remains that they form a perception of who we are. We live in a world of brands today: People, places, organizations, ideas and many more. Why do I say this? A number of us today, if we were asked to choose the our best fashion designer, shoe maker, life coach, footballer.... We do it based on the perception we have about these people. Same happens to places, organisations, ideas, as well as many other things. Our decisions are based to a very large extent on our inter...

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...

A Leader's Journey through Purpose (Part 1)

By -
Image
I'm going to make myself believe everyone here knows who a leader is, because at some point we might have interacted with one or we are one ourselves. So I'd just dash to the point. Humans are basically good at something – PLANNING. Even if most persons wouldn't agree with this. Like the popular saying, "He that fails to plan have planned to fail", so in some way we plan. Whether it's all straight or not. Considering our fast-paced, dynamic and forward thinking society, everybody wants to succeed (although few persons are still not planning to), and at such we make plans on how to beat the game. Well, I'd like to say not all future plans should be shared (sometimes oh) but nevertheless, in sharing them people become aware of your journey and your boldness. People may rebuke your dreams and tell you how impossible it will be but they'll sure never forget it. They'll apply their hearts to caution and keep their eyes on you. The bigger your dreams...

I Lost Myself, I Found Myself, Again!

By -

I was nothing special. I get that. I come from humble beginnings. Zero silver spoon in my mouth. In school, I didn’t fit in. Wasn’t given much of a chance. A teacher told me I’d never make a head-on in writing. I didn’t believe him (Trust your instincts versus your critics). I kept on moving ahead. I understood the power of ferocious learning – reading books constantly, studying the best consistently and putting in the effort relentlessly. I made seemingly insignificant small acts that to me revealed a beautiful progress. Quietly proving my naysayers knew nothing. Anyone can put someone down. Heroes lift others up. Thanks to another teacher of mine. In Jss2 – my Yoruba teacher. She saw something in me that nearly no one had. She encouraged me – and helped me believe in myself. Via her, my self-perception changed. My interior story transformed. I’ll always revere her for this. I've had disposed papers where I penned my writings. I couldn't get any published. I started with...

What a Real Woman desires?

By -
Image
It's funny – once a young man has money, affluence or fame, he begins to think every woman is after his wealth, or popularity. He begins to see himself as a real man because he has money and can pay bride price and 'put a woman in the house' without batting an eye or breaking the bank.. A Real Woman is not after a Man's money. No, she knows she can make hers. She knows she needs him to have his too. But beyond wealth, a Real Woman desires – • Emotional security from her Man She wants to know she can be herself (completely naked) emotionally before him and not be mocked for it or rebuked. She wants to know he will fight to put and keep a smile on her face, to make her happy, do all he can to defend her emotions every day of their lives together. A woman's emotions is her greatest vulnerability. It's what makes them different from Men, and a man who cannot understand this aspect and show capacity to handle her in that regards needs to learn. Some men cannot ev...

From Jude's Wall (Part 16)

• Now worth $100 billion, Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos is now the richest man in the world. • Nigeria is the first country to introduce television broadcasting in Africa. • In Nigeria, a graduate that receives $200 dollars (68,000 Naira) as salary, is considered high earner. • During flight, if one of the pilots needs to use the toilet, a flight attendant will be call upon into the cockpit, the pilot who needs to use the toilet leaves the cockpit, and the door locked, insuring there are two members of the crew on the flight deck. When the other pilot comes back, the flight attendant in the cockpit unlocks the door, they swap places and, with two pilots up front, they again lock the door. This protocol insures that two people are up front – not that the attendant would fly the plane – chances are it’s on autopilot anyway – but in case the remaining pilot passes out, has a heart attack, or otherwise unable to fly the plane, there is a second person there to let the other pilot back in. • ...
