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 -
Image
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...

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...

Start with Self Love

By -
Image
First and foremost, how do you love others when you do not love yourself? You will always spill your hate or love for yourself into the way you treat others ultimately. Kid yourself not! Secondly, how do you expect others to love you when you barely love yourself? You hate your height, you want her to love you for it? Or is it after you hate your height, you then want to love a person with same height? You must be confused! You hate your size, and you want him to love you like that? You hate your looks, YOU HATE YOU, BUT YOU WANT ME TO LOVE YOU? How am I going to pull that off? I CAN ACTUALLY TRY, but truth is, the love you have for yourself or your hate of yourself is contagious. Like flu, it is soon passed on to those around you. When you do not like yourself, you will always have issues with people who love you, or people who love you will always have issues with you, you will either scare them off or they will scare you off. ----- Look at this: John : Jane, you look beautiful...

You will find money in these three places

By -
Image
Money is hiding in things people don't want. Over the weekend, I listened to the speech of a top network marketing guru in South Africa and these are the points he mentioned about money and where you can get it. He said that one will only find money in these three places: The first place where one will find money is with people. All businesses need people to make money. Doctors need people to make money and they call those people patients. Checkers and Woolworths needs people to make money and they call them customers. Mortuaries need dead people to make money. If one runs away from people, one is running away from wealth. If one says that he/she is shy and can't talk to people, then it means poverty will be one's best friend. The second place one can find money is to find solutions to people's problems. Most people run away from problems because they don't want to find solutions to the problems. That's why we don't last in things that we start because i...

Treat your brand as an Investment, not a Cost

By -
Image
Let me iterate - "branding is the projection of your visions and the big picture in you. It is bringing to life, the dreams you have". How much does it cost to bring your vision to life? It boils down to how big, clear and crisp your inner pictures are. Branding is expensive only if you see it as expensive. I have seen people project their brands with less crisp graphics. I have seen people unintentionally creating the wrong narratives for their brands through branding that leaves lot to be desired. Electronic media is a game of perception, how you package yourself creates narratives in the mind of your target audience. When you consistently fail to create the right narratives, you eventually hurt your business. How much does it cost to get a crisp head shot? How much does it cost to hire the service of professionals? You don't have to break the bank give your customers the best experience. You don't have to commit too much to keep to your promises and deliver quali...

Tips on how to remain poor

By -
Image
I got this from a friend, and I thought it worthy of sharing with you. I hope someone gets inspired. The following are eight ways to be poor and stay poor. • Never wake up early. Keep stretching and turning in bed until you get too hungry to continue dozing. If there are no bed bugs, why hurry to get up? • Never plan how to spend your money. Whenever you get money, start spending it right away and when it's finished, you try to count and recall how you spent it. • Don't think of saving until you have real big money. How can you save when you earn so little? Those telling you to save are not sympathetic to your burning needs. • Don't engage in activities usually reserved for the "uneducated". How can you, a graduate, engage in petty trade, network marketing or home-based production? That's for people who never went to school! • Don't think of starting a business until an angel comes from heaven and gives you capital. How do they expect you to inve...

You are a Clay in the Potter's Hands

By -
Image
Do you sometimes feel unworthy to be called God’s child? – You have too much baggage, too many wounds and too many scars, or maybe you don’t feel smart enough or spiritual enough to be used by God. If so, then you are not alone. l used to feel inadequate and I believed l don’t have enough qualifications and experience for God to use me. What I did not realize is that God loves to use jars of clay to reveal His Glory. He uses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. When something beautiful flows from an ordinary vessel, it’s both surprising and inspiring. Ask God to show you what matters most. Your heart or your hands. You are a clay in the potter’s hand. You are not beautiful in yourself but You are beautiful in Him. Try to forget yourself and all your inadequacies and allow his Glory to shine forth from You. The question is: What is in your hands? Are you ready to give it to God to use it for his Glory? 1 Corinthians 1 vs 27 By: Emmanuel Christian
