Go Succeed

By -

Panam Percy Paul once shared this story:
When he began pursuing his music career, his father was not supportive of him. In fact, he antagonized him. Few years later, when Panam's vision began to speak, his father attended the village elders' meeting, where everyone was required to introduce themselves. As each stood up to say, "I am Dr. ABC of XYZ" or "Engineer TBC OF BTC", it got to his father's turn and when he stood up, he said, "Hnmmmm.... How can I introduce myself to help you really know who I am now? How many of you know Panam Percy Paul?" Hands went up. Then he beat his chest and said, "He is my son."

-----

Go on, go succeed. Those who oppose you will soon use you to introduce themselves. They will say, "Ah, don't you know him? He was my next door neighbor! We were once in the same class! We once boarded the same taxi! I sat beside him in a bus before! I was in kindergarten with her! I met her in the market.

Focus on your success. Soon, it will answer us on your behalf.

Relationship Series (Introduction)

By -
Some years ago, I began to have some thoughts about life. Everyday, we come across people who put up false happiness. Everyone's trying to be truly happy, and everyone surely deserves that, because there's no life without happiness. But a lot of persons are much unhappy inside than they seem to be. Sometimes the pain they feel deep inside gets to a threshold, where they can't keep on putting up false happiness, and their true feelings are more often expressed. For a good number of persons, they redefine happiness, and their definition of happiness does not bring them true happiness, though it feels so at the beginning, but at the end, it only adds to the pain they already feel. At the same time, their search for happiness causes pains to others who are averagely happy or whose happiness is below average. Relationships are part of life. Everything about life thrives on relationship. For every society to be progressive, there must be a greater part of the society with posi...

You have a Brain, Young people

By -

Young people listen... You may not have the best school or opportunities like me, but at least you have something like Nigeria at the moment which is a shithole. Yet, we can make this shithole a huge vast intellectual brain reserve. The metaphor of the shithole is that it is a conduit a passage for remnant. When I was a kid, I saw the Germans convert shit to energy for cooking and fertiliser. You have a brain young people, use it. Young Nigerians, we do not have a future in our present state. Let us start creating one. The beautiful thing is that we have all the resources we ever need.. to start with... And that is enough problem, yeah and as long as there are problems, huge problems in Nigeria, then the future is bright, as we take responsibility. This century, people do not want to know whose muscle is stronger, but whose brain is smarter, active. We are in the age of the brain revolution. By: Okwudiri Anasiudu

Your personal health and fitness is essential!

"I am as passionate about personal health and fitness as I am about financial health. I believe your health is your most prized possession. It amazes me how many people pay no attention to their health. ... You know what you’re supposed to eat. We all do. Fresh fruits and vegetables, complex carbs, salads, whole foods, lean meats, more fish and poultry than beef... You know it, I know it, we all know it. So why do so many of us still go out and chow down cheeseburgers and fries every day? I’ll tell you why: because it won’t kill us. Not today. If you ate a cheeseburger and immediately suffered a near-fatal heart attack, would you ever go near a cheeseburger again? I doubt it. It may take twenty or thirty years, but when you add up the compounded interest on all that high-fat, artery-clogging dietary mayhem, eventually your poor overworked heart just quits, stops dead. And so do you. It has been said that we dig our graves with our teeth. It’s easy to ea...

Real Faith is Concrete and Evidential

By -
Image
Our faith as Christians is not misguided or misdirected, God did not ask us to have faith on something that does not work or that is nonexistent. Everything we believe God for already is and have been proven to be reproducible. People have believed for the same things you believe God for and have or are getting them continually. The problem is we and not the word of God. Do this anytime you feel your faith is tested. Walk randomly into your church and ask people randomly if they have ever believed God for what you are believing and have received. The results have always been and will continue. Our faith is not guess work, it is not uncertain, it is not speculation, it is not luck or chance. We believe God for what already is, have been and is been received continually by others. Real faith is concrete, it is evidential, tangible and reproducible anywhere. It works in all climes. By: Raphael Donanu

Forget about the noise, Shoot for Your Dreams

By -
Image
Too many people refuse to set high goals for themselves, or even neglect achieving their dreams because they fear the criticism of relatives and friends who may say "Don't aim so high, people will think you're crazy". People refuse to take chances in business, because they fear the criticism which may follow if they fail. The fear of criticism in such cases is stronger than the DESIRE for Success. One thing is certain, whether you start a business or not, people will still talk about you, so why don't you close you mind and eye to what people will say and go achieve your dreams???

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...

Rags (2012)

By -
Image
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...

Relationship Quotes for this Week

By -
Image
The Quotes today is credited to Nana Kwame Amissah. The Quotes: • Life is very short, so break your egos, forgive quickly, love truly, laugh loudly and never avoid anything that makes you smile. • If you don't see your worth, you will always choose people who don't see it either. When your self esteem rises, your life follows. • Love is a gift from God, and as we obey His laws and genuinely learn to serve others, we develop God's love in our lives. Love of God is the means of unlocking divine powers which help us to live worthily and to overcome the world. If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. • A meaningful life is not being rich or popular but being highly educated, being real, honest, kind, respectful, good and humble. And being able to share ourselves and touch th...

If You can love wholly, love wholly

By -
Image
It's easy, too easy, to mouth off the long list of things we'd never do for a partner or while in a relationship. To drop wisecracks at the expense of those who make lifestyle changes when they get married. Here's why; Today's idea of relationships is a far-cry from what "being in love" is. This power tussle where each partner is striving to be the one who loves less. The one who walks away with more blood on their hands. Where everyone wants to score points for their teams. Being in love is a completely different ball game. It's you and this person trapped in a bubble of happiness which you don't want to break out from. You'd do silly things to keep them looking at you a certain way; say corny stuff to make their eyes light up; drop certain habits because you can't stand the friction they create between you two. A bad breakup may be the only thing capable of tainting the memory of how natural it felt to do these things and how happy they m...
