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

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...

Towards Mental Exploits by David .O. Oyedepo

I read this book about four years ago, and it was a big turning point for me. Much was learnt, I'll share few of them today. You should check it out. The lessons: Death begins when one stops learning, and ageing starts from one's mind, not one's body. One remains young as far as he or she keeps learning; One starts crashing once he or she stops pushing. One's ability to excel mentally is paralyzed once one stops trying and accepts that the results obtained is the best he or she can attain; One's life becomes a burden when one's life is void of progress. And when one's brain isn't working towards anything, it becomes a weight on the body. The brain is motivated when it sees something ahead, something to work towards for; One's success does not demand prayer and fasting, as much as engaging one's senses positively.

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...

Never Assume That They Know

A few days ago (on the day this was written), I sent an email to my subscribers. The call to action in that email was, "get your discount now" with a link to a sales page. Later, I got a reply from one of the subscribers saying, "where should I get the discount?" Then I replied, "click this link...." Yesterday (on the day Promise wrote this), a client I worked with sent me a message asking me what a logo was. He told me that someone requested for his logo and he doesn't know what it means. Then I told him what a logo was and the price to get one. His response was that, if he knew that he needed a logo for his website, he would have paid when he was paying for the web design. I took it that it was my fault. I assumed that everyone knew what I knew. This is the more reason why you should monetize your knowledge. Many people don't know what you know. The other day, I was discussing with a friend. Then I asked him, "do you have Evernote?"...

Never Ask Them For Money

By -
Image
When you meet Dangote today or someone who can take you to the next level, what would you ask from him? How would you play and how would you beg? The worst thing you can ask from wealthy people or those in position of authority is money, because they wouldn't give you enough if they even give you at all. That doesn't mean that they are wicked people who don't like to give or help, it is because they are wealthy not rich, so they don't have much to give you. If you are "cash happy", you are said to be rich. If you are "asset happy", you are said to be wealthy. And since being asset happy or acquiring a lot of assets is one of the ways the wealthy get their money to work for them, they are more often than not well invested in their businesses and assets to have enough cash with them to share around. So, they hardly have money to give. And it stresses them when such request is slightly suggested. This is why your high earning uncle who works wit...

The Lady is Perfect

By -
Image
The strength of a woman lies in her womanhood. Her gracefulness, humility, self sacrifice, care, love, respect, decency, sweet tone, physical weakness, her smile, cheerfulness, brokenness, sincere tears and emotions, love and service to God. It is confusion and misplacement of priority for a woman to want to act like or compete with a man. She is perfect in her elements, designed to fulfill purpose in her own uniqueness. Do not assume the position of a man, it is a waste of productive energy trying to assume the position of a man. Know your place. If you want to be a man, the society will treat you as one and it will be tiring, it will wear you out. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, I adore and honour you as you are, there is no competition but complementation. Real men respect women. By: Raphael Donanu

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...

You cannot speak against money and still have it

By -
Image
You can't speak against money and still have it; it's just common sense. You can't find a rich person holding such discussions; only poor people do. Poor people don't spend time or resources knowing or learning how to be rich. They rather spend time discussing and criticizing the rich. That's why they remain poor. But rich people are too busy using their money to do stuff. Or learning how to have more, for greater stuff... By: Bimbola Tayo-Bamidele

You have got to Stop Thinking Poorly

By -

Do you know how much some people are paid to forfeit their dreams? Some 20k monthly, some 50k, 100k, 500k, some 1M and above. The problem is not you working for someone; the problem is you not believing that you have something great to offer. You not perceiving that today may be for your boss and tomorrow yours. The major problem is this slavery mentality I'm seeing in you. The problem is not your poor background; the problem is your self-pity attitude, the problem is you not seeing yourself in the likes of those who can change the world. The major problem is your poor thinking system. The problem is not that you have no money to start something; the problem is you not knowing that it takes more than money to start a business. The problem is you lacking the boldness to kick and the courage to pursue. The major problem is you allowing fear to kill your faith. The problem is not market saturation, I mean, thousands of people doing what you have in mind; my problem is you not stil...
