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...

Originality is beautiful

By -

What makes Love beautiful is it's ability to look beyond flaws. These flaws in us makes it adventurously challenging. Whatever is not challenging gets boring too quick but then a lot of people get drenched in this feeling knowing the flaws and then try to change the other person to be more like what they were not originally. Originality is beautiful and someone who chooses to be with you, fight on the same side with you, must have seen something beautiful, peculiar about you. If they least appreciate you but try to change your natural formation and what constitute your uniqueness, identity, personality, then you don't belong with them. Love comes with submissiveness which should never be taken for stupidity or likened to outright compromise of character modification. Tripple Friddle Frizzle Tff

Perception

By -

Perception is a synonym (another word) for Vision. Vision is the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination. Imagination is the act of forming new ideas. Therefore, VISION is the ability to think about the future by forming new ideas. Habakkuk 2:2 - And The LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision (thoughts about the future, by thinking in new ways) and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. This simply means that God expects us to be Thinkers, Builders, Innovators. In the creation of man God said "Lets us make man in our image after our likeness". This shows that God thought about us, He thought about something that was missing in the world. We are made in the image of God. You are meant to be like him (the creator), so whatever You are faced with, You have the ability to solve it, by thinking in new ways. When You have thought about it, write it down and run with it, then your joy shall be filled. Do it now!!

They Withdrew From Him And Left Him Alone

By -
Image
When David was going to kill Uriah, he gave two instructions to the commander of his army. He wrote: 1. Put him in the hottest part of the battle. 2. Withdraw from him in the heat of battle. It was the second command that killed Uriah, not the first. Uriah was a warrior. He was one of the mighty men of David. Such men loved the hottest part of the battle. What killed Uriah was not that he fought in the fiercest corner but that his company withdrew from him in the heat of battle. No matter how mighty you are in any area of life, you need a company. Do you remember Acts 4, when Peter and John faced the high priest and the Jewish leaders. It was really hot for them. The Bible says they went back to their company and told them what happened, and they all prayed until the place was shaken. It was only Peter and John who faced the heat, yet all of the company prayed. Do you remember when Peter was arrested in Acts 12, and the church prayed without ceasing for him? While he slept soundl...

Saving – an Act and an Art

Who told you that saving is for losers and that you can't save money no matter how small to change your life? In 2001, I saved 5000 naira under my bed till 2004 when I used the money to register for my GCE! Yes, I know now that I could have invested the money and bla bla bla. But That singler "act" saved my "art" The game of money is both an "act" and an "art". While saving money is the act, what you do with that savings is the art. By: Alex Iheanacho

Why do People think that Introverts are Rude or Arrogant?

By -
Image
Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days. Myth #2 – Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite. Myth #3 – Introverts are rude. Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting. Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people. On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close fr...

The Story is in three parts, which have all been put together here as the complete story. ----- PART 1 JANE BADMUS: My phone beeps, as the 'new text message' icon comes up. It's 9.00 pm.

I wonder if it's my Mum, she promised to brief me on the outcome of the family meeting held in account of my upcoming introduction. However, it's not my Mum, it's Matilda calling.

Rags (2012)

So I picked this movie as the first I'll write about on this label. I've watched lot of movies, deleted some, but this is one of those I find it difficult to delete. I just have to delete some others to create space for some more movies I want to watch.. This is one of the movies I'll recommend if you are looking for one to give you some motivation. Rags is a musical film, starring a number of characters, two of which are most outstanding. Charlie Prince (Max Schneider) and Kadee Worth (Keke Palmer) both got musical talents, but of different financial backgrounds. Photo Credit: Wikipedia Charlie, who had lost his mum and was from the lower financial background, had great passion for his talent and always believed he will be someone great one day. He kept up his faith, even with his discouraging step dad and step brothers. Anyway, he got that little family (Diego and Martha) which kinda filled a gap and gave him some inspiration. He had his fears, sometimes doubte...
