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...

Relationship Quotes, this Week

One of the Greatest Happiness we can have in life is the conviction that we are Loved – Loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves (Victor Hugo) We’re all seeking that special person who is right for us. But if you’ve been through enough relationships, you begin to suspect there’s no right person, just different flavors of wrong. Why is this? Because you yourself are wrong in some way, and you seek out partners who are wrong in some complementary way. But it takes a lot of living to grow fully into your own wrongness. And it isn’t until you finally run up against your deepest demons, your unsolvable problems—the ones that make you truly who you are—that we’re ready to find a lifelong mate. Only then do you finally know what you’re looking for. You’re looking for the wrong person. But not just any wrong person: it's got to be the right wrong person—someone you lovingly gaze upon and think, “This is ...

Today, I share the success story of Charles Spencer Chaplin, an English comic actor, film maker and composer. Though he's late (1889 - 1977), many still get inspired through his story. Photo Credit: Wikipedia Inspire  people through your Success Story. Write to us through our e-mail: plusliferelationship@gmail.com or through the Facebook page: Positive Life & Relationship Charlie Chaplin had a tough childhood. His Parents were music hall entertainers. His dad didn't support him financially; his mum did her best, but they couldn't get out of poverty and hardship. Mental illness made matters worse for the mum. The deteriorating financial condition forced Charlie to be sent to a workhouse (a charity institution that takes care of poor kids) at the age of seven. Later again, his mum had to readmit him at the workhouse. At age 9, on one of the number of times the mum was committed to mental asylum, Charlie and his brother went to stay with the dad, whom t...

You have to be Important to Yourself

About two months ago, a lady walked into the office and demanded for my time. We sat and exchanged pleasantries. I can’t forget it easily, her voice texture happened to be one of the finest I've had conversations with that time, well filtered. I complimented, but her response did not commensurate my altruistic praise. At least, I deserved “thank you Sir” Or, remove the sir “Bros, thank you”. I was worried why a grown lady like her did not understand etiquette. She asked, are you Christopher Peter? I said Yes. She continued.. “I was listening to you yesterday morning on radio (Love Fm) when you were talking on parenting, and something told me to come talk with you”. She started her chronicles; suddenly, her voice went dim and finally mute, her skin turned reddish, eyes swollen, body shaken, it wasn’t strange to me, so I encouraged her to take a deep breath and rest for a while. When she sum up courage and forced the words out, they splashed with tears and cry. The few words I coul...

Be the Person You desire to marry

By -
Image
Marry someone who knows how to make you smile – but more so, wants to make you smile. Marry someone who builds you up, not tears you down. Marry someone who knows how to apologize when they’ve been wrong. Marry someone who is interested in the details of your life, because the details make up who you are. Marry someone who you can pray with, because there is nothing more intimate. Marry someone who loves you for who you are, but challenges you to become better. Marry someone who you don’t get sick of, because you’ll be hanging out a lot. Marry someone who can love you with their actions, not just their words. Marry someone who points you to Jesus, rather than to him/herself. Marry someone who trusts you, and someone you can trust. Marry someone who will make a good friend, not just a good lover. Marry someone who loves Jesus, more than he/she loves you. Marry someone who is willing to communicate, even if it’s not a strength. Marry someone who has nothing to hide, and live...

The one that got away

By -

A few years ago, I was in a relationship with someone. My clearest memory of it; the recollection that is etched in brain matter was our first kiss. I remember because I had a funny thought while being kissed. It was like I stepped out of my body to watch the proceedings and the thought that popped into my mind was, "Mills & Boons novels got it right." That was it. I felt the proverbial electricity and my knees shook. That had never happened to me before. I decided to analyse why. You know me. I never miss a learning moment. I had been friends with the guy for a long time. We were in sync mentally and emotionally before we ever got physical. At the root of our relationship was friendship. When he travelled, I felt a physical space where he was supposed to be and a tiredness I couldn't explain. A little bit of colour went out of my world when he wasn't around. It is instructive that I loved him more at the end of the relationship than at the beginning. Suffice to ...

Rags (2012)

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...

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

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...
