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!

Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

By -

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...

Rush Hour (1998)

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...

Our Arrival time will differ, but the Destination remains Sure

Often times, we are pressured to catch up with latest trends. We see the seeming progress of others and we say in our hearts "Oh my God, I am so backwards." We tend to forget that we all have our timing; that we have our individual season of celebration. It is true that we can create the future we desire. But even if we all apply relevant principles required for us to get to that desired future, the truth remains that our arrival time will still differ. When there was a call for all animals to come in their pairs into Noah's Ark, the dog, cat, tiger, lion, ostrich and every other animals got to the ark. The fast paced animals definitely must have arrived before the others. BUT THE ARK WASN'T CLOSED BY GOD... Until, the millipedes, centipedes, snails and other crawling animals got there. In our quest for Success and a better life, so many will say EUREKA in the morning - If you are a single female reading this post, and you are above 27 years, you probably can rememb...

Welcome to October

Those moments will come when you will ask yourself a lot of questions, when the feeling of tiredness will set in, when you've worked hard enough and feel like the life in you is being choked out. You just want to fast forward to your ultimate destination and end the journey. You're tired of the stress, you're tired of working hard and making those efforts. But deep inside You, you get fulfilment from what you do, you feel great and positive about yourself whenever you do those things. Your dream lies in them. You're only just tired. It's normal. You may rest a little, but you don't give up! You don't give in to distraction and that desire to just get there immediately. You should keep working, keep believing, keep improving, keep learning, keep growing. The truth is that what you're doing isn't hard. It isn't difficult. It's just challenging. It's also fun if you look properly at it and if you decide to get the fun out of it....

How I got out of paid employment in 11 months

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...

IPad, Android Phones Versus Bible

By -
Image
Yesterday (on the day this was written), I watched Pastor Chris Oyakilome live as he preached. He used his iPad to read out scriptures. Later in the day, I saw a post on Instagram, and one guy like that insulted Pastor Chris for using iPad, instead of his Bible. I laughed at the man's ignorance. I remember an Uncle of mine was invited to a Church. He went there with his iPad, and someone asked him: "Sir, where is your Bible?” He showed him his 10.1 inches Pad. “But Sir,” he said, “This is not a Bible, this is iPad, you need to carry your Bible. You're not a good preacher, if you don't preach with your Bible," one of the pastors said. Now this is my point: Before the advent of printing press, the scriptures were originally written on a scroll! The ten commandments were written on a stone! Not on a Book called “Holy Book”. If the Book where the Bible was printed on becomes Holy Book, then my android phone is “Holy Android” because God’s word is inside it. Than...
