From Jude's Wall (Part 2)

• Eyes are the second most complex organ after the brain.

•  Your eyes start to develop two weeks after you are conceived.

• A fingerprint has 40 unique characteristics, but an iris has 256; a reason retina scans are increasingly being used for security purposes.

• To protect our eyes, they are positioned in a hollowed eye socket, while eyebrows prevent sweat dripping into your eyes and eyelashes keep dirt out of your eyes.

• Your eyeballs stay the same size from birth to death, while your nose and ears continue to grow.

• An eye is composed of more than 2 million working parts.

• Only 1/6 of the human eyeball is exposed.

• Corneas are the only tissues that don’t have blood.

• People who are blind can see their dreams if they weren’t born blind.

• An eye cannot be transplanted. More than 1 million nerve fibers connect each eye to the brain and currently we’re not able to reconstruct those connections.

You may be consuming high amounts of sugar and it's unhealthy for you

By -
Image
A lot of us must have heard that much sugar is not healthy, but a good number of persons still consume a large amount of it. Sugar is a carbohydrate and we have simple sugars (glucose, fructose, galactose) and more complex forms of it (sucrose, lactose, maltose). The sugar we consume is mostly in the form of sucrose, a disaccharide made up of glucose and fructose. When we consume sugar, it is metabolized to give us energy, but when high amounts of it is consumed, the body converts to body fats and store them. Sugar (sucrose) contains about 50% fructose, and fructose, which is actually the sweet part of sugar, responsible for the sweetness we taste when we take sugar is not good for us. Fructose is metabolized only by the liver which means there's a lot of work for one's liver to do. It is toxic to the liver especially in those who consume large amount of sugar (the human body is not meant to consume so much fructose). Also, sugar is ADDICTIVE due to fructose. Fructose suppress...

The Human Body Wonderfully Made

Let me share this. Thumbs Up to the Writer! ------- The Human Body is a treasure trove of mysteries, one that still confounds doctors and scientists about how it works. It's not an overstatement to say that every part of your body is a miracle. It's possible for your body to survive without large fractions of its internal organs. Even if you lose your stomach, your spleen, 75% of your liver, 80% of your intestines, one kidney, one lung, and virtually every organ from your pelvic and groin area, you wouldn't be very healthy, but you would live. During your lifetime, you will produce enough saliva to fill two Swimming pools. Actually, Saliva is more important than you realize. If your saliva cannot dissolve something, you cannot taste it. The largest cell in the human body is the female egg and the smallest is the male sperm. The egg is actually the only cell in the body that is visible by the naked eye. The strongest muscle in the human body is the tongue and the harde...

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...

Life Lessons from the Clock

By -

Photo credit: Wikipedia Staring at my clock one sunny afternoon at home, I began to notice some unique features of the clock which could also help imbibe in us important life lessons which when practiced will enable us get to the peak of success in our various endeavors. Let us take a look at these features; 1. Each ticking of the second hand offers you another opportunity to start all over again . That is, giving up when you fail should be the last option in your mind. There's always an opportunity to start all over and do things differently. And always remember, for a child of God, this opportunity comes with renewed mercies to help you. Lamentations 3:23. 2. Once a particular set time passes, it cannot be regained anymore. It's gone FOREVER!!.  Therefore make the most of every opportunity. Yes, I know it contradicts the first lesson. But think about this deeply. When you have an opportunity to do something, make sure you make the most of it cause even if you get anot...

Nothing Good Comes Easy (Dr. Nosa's Success Story)

By -
Image
This is an inspiring Success Story by Dr. Ewere Thompson Nosa, a Medical Doctor and graduate of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) Dr. Ewere Thompson Nosa ----- After rounding up my Secondary School education, and losing my Dad to the cold hands of death in 2009; I decided to fend for myself, and complement the support I was getting from my wonderful siblings. I had to do this because I don't like depending on anyone wholly, plus the fact that finance was limited and things were not all rossy. So I started off as a phone technician at Third junction in Benin. It wasn't easy for me as I was a bit too young and innocent to hussle in such kind of environment. I faced a lot of reproach, rejections and oppressions. I can remember a day I was beaten up at my work place, by some cultists for not fixing their phones to their specification. I also faced a lot of disappointments even among my loved ones. Well, that's all history. I endured all and passed...

Earning on Social media

By -

Last night (referring to night before the day this was written), I stirred up your thoughts about being a social media star and being broke. It will be remiss of me to just stop there without pointing to the “How". There may be folks out there who needs our guidance and knowledge to stir them aright. Let's get right into it. If you have at least one person following you, what are the ways you can earn by showing up on social media? • SELL YOUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICE I am sure that sounds cliché. However, it is imperative you look critically at the some products you have access to, maybe things you created, services you can offer and use your timeline (platform) to project same. You may begin with a low priced offer or free, just to get people to use your products or get feedback on your service. If you don't have a product or service, or you have not decided to push yours, not to worry as you have a way out. • INFLUENCER MARKETING Imagine you get to talk about a product...

The Betrayal – A Short Story

By -
Image
(Part 1) "I think my husband is cheating on me" Eukera informs her baby Sister. "How do you know, or did he confess this himself?" Esther asks as she returns to the sitting room with a tray containing fruits.. She always entertains her Sister this way. "I know it, I'm not a baby you know. I will find that lady who has the guts to go out with my husband, and when I do.. Oh Lord, Oh Jehovah, She will regret ever being born", Eukera answers as she bites into an apple she had just taken off the tray her sister had brought. "I will recommend you do not conclude based on just a hunch. If he is really cheating on you, we will find out one day. I personally will get him arrested and dealt with. As for the lady, let me not even say anything". "Hahahaha, I trust you, but that won't be necessary. I can handle this. Thanks Sis". Just then, Eukera's phone rings. It's a call from her office. She grabs another apple, hurriedly g...

The LPI kicks off tomorrow, New Year Day

By -
Image
I had a post on the Love and Positivity Initiative – LPI, last week. I mentioned that I will talk about how one can be a part of this initiative, without contacting me. Like the post last week explained, the LPI is all about creating Positivity Leaders and Positivity Leadership among people. I believe that You can LEAD those who are close to you towards the path of Positivity. You don't have to be a Big or Titled Leader. Everyone is a Leader in Life. Everyone Leads at something! You may have not recognized it, but You are a Leader! That friend of yours, or neighbour of yours who looks up to you, or listens to whatever you say, comes around you frequently, enjoys your company, listens and obeys your advice/opinions, tries to imitate your actions and behaviour towards things or other people... You are Leading them!! You can do better by being a Positive Leader! You can affect those lives close to you positively. You don't need to change everyone or everything in the world to c...

Principle versus Formula

By -
Image
Productivity is better than Activity and Principle is better than formula. Principles will birth productivity whereas Formulas will only produce activity. For example, It is possible to sleep four hours a day and achieve significantly less than someone who sleeps eight hours a day, while claiming anybody that sleeps above four hours is lazy. When it comes to success, there might be principles but not formulas (I mean mindless copying). Some people just copy too much, not seeing that a lot of factors are involved. The most important thing is to learn the principles and tailor it to your unique situation. Make your work time count. I remember students back in school who claimed to be reading all night (and they were) but had little or nothing to show in their result and there were others who never went through that stress and made straight A's. It is good to look out for working formulas but it's more important to know what works for you and so you can manipulate the formula...

Treat Him like a King

By -
Image
I love to talk about men. And the reason is very simple: • All men are unique. • They are our pride. • They are the beauty that we have as women. Most times, I tell my friends that when you treat your man like a King, he will worship you like a Queen. Never disrespect your man, he is the reason why people are calling you Madame. Stop looking down on him because you think he is already your husband, and so nothing can happen. Believe me, there are a lots of ladies out there who are willing to pay any amount just to have that same men you are insulting everyday. If you learn how to take good care of your husband he will always make you the envy of all. Don't be ashamed to try new things. A lady is a blessing to her husband, not trouble, pain and heartbreak. Make your husband your best friend. Your husband should be able to say, "Honey, I'm favoured because I have You as my wife". Your calls and presence should never remind him of how much a mistake he may have ...
