Excellent Attitude plus Skills equals Success

By -
An excellent attitude is the key to success.
Yesterday (on the day this was written), a friend called me and asked me to recommend someone to do a job. I suggested someone to him who was undoubtedly super skilled in what he does. His response was, "He's good BUT I can't deal with his attitude".
Then I immediately recommended someone else who does not only have great skill but a great attitude too.
You see, in life, great skills will take you to the top but only an excellent attitude that'll keep you there.
While you're busy acquiring vocational and digital skill, take a moment to grab (as it were) interpersonal skills. Learn how to relate with people like human. Don't insist on being right. Sometimes play the fool game. Be kind. Be humble. Be considerate. Be empathetic. Be respectful.
Most times, excellent attitude pays higher than competence. And when excellent attitude meets great competence, massive success is inevitable.
So tell me, attitude and competence, which do you consider first when hiring someone?

I Conquered Masturbation, You Can too!

I started masturbating when I was exactly 14 years old. It was such an experience I never believed I could break off from. I grew up in a 'ghetto-like' place, which exposed me to different kinds of persons and experience. I had to run errands for my Grandmother and in the process, stumbled on neighbours watching movies with Adult content and sometimes saw some of them in the act, and because they felt that I was a small boy, the girls either didn't bother to cover themselves leaving their bodies bare as they attended to me, or continued in the act and never cared to pay attention to who it was that was around. Some of the ladies around who were not married would then touch my private part and tell me things they would have done with me if I was older. These were seeds that were being sown in my mind, and unknown to me that it would later lead me into a deep mess. The kind of friends I had both in school and home were those from the privileged class who had access to th...

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...

I Pulled The trigger and Shot Him Twice

By -
Image
Yes, I murdered him in cold blood!! Then I looked back and saw him still walking, still following me, then I decided to rip him apart and buried him thinking he would stop following, but he never did. He got up from mother earth and kept moving at my back........ I was becoming uneasy and frightened, so I decided not to look back anymore.... He was still following me, but I never looked back!!!.... Then, I never saw him again....!!! ----- That's how the Past acts. It will always be there as long as you look back at it...... But when u begin to look straight at the future, You wouldn't have to border about it anymore. It vanishes without you even noticing. Eze Victor Obinna

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...

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...

Being Spontaneous

By -
Image
Have you ever sat down, and just suddenly realized that the best moments and memories in life are usually spontaneous and never planned or premeditated? Whatever you do, give space for spontaneousness. Don't just live by the book - rigid, one way street life. In your relationship, be spontaneous; do things for and with your spouse on the spur of the moment, and see true beauty, romance and laughter come to reside with you and your household. Nothing kills relationships like routine, and timetable for everything. I mean, sex by timetable, outings embarked on strictly by timetable, everything predictable, everything mechanical, robotic laidis.. God forbid bad thing for you, my friend. Surprise your spouse very often, let there be that anticipation, excitement, that feeling of waiting for your surprise gift, surprise treat, not knowing what you will come up with next; knowing that with you, anything can happen anytime. Give in to sudden ideas, sudden suggestions as the spirit of th...

False Evidence Appearing Real

I can remember my first steps going before a crowd. I was asked to take the Bible reading in Church on a Sunday. By the time I mounted the pulpit, I had to grip the pulpit for support because I just discovered that I could no longer stand straight again out of fear and nervousness. I was shaking like a dry leaf in harmattan. I felt I was going to have a seizure or just fall and embarrass my generation. My legs were wobbling, it was like I had no bone in them. I couldn't look at the crowd, it was terrible, and I can't remember how I survived the few minutes it took for me to finish the Bible reading. I never wanted to get there again, but next Sunday, I was back there, and the Sunday after that, and every other Sunday, and there we have it. Fast forward to the present, after many years of going back to something I dreaded doing, going back to face the crowd, going back to face my fear, the stage freight; it's not really any big deal to me again. Each time I see some...

20 Lessons from Life

By -

The other day I watched a wild dog dart in front of my vehicle. I wasn't moving too fast and so was able to avoid it. But I wondered what would have befallen the poor dog, if it had crossed the path of another driver moving at a faster pace. Many live that way; running fast along the road of life, oblivious of danger or peril. There are many lessons life can teach us, if we would be observant. There are principles we can learn daily. Here are a few of mine: • Never toy with lives or treat serious matters with levity. There is a man King Solomon once described. He plays with fire and after he has burned the house down, he sputters, "But...I didn't mean it"! • Never take "Panadol" for another man's headache. Let adults figure out their own issues. It is patronizing to assume you know better. • Like the adage states, "When hunters learn to shoot without missing, birds learn to fly without perching." Adapt to changes in your relationships, espe...
