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...

Your personal health and fitness is essential!

By -
Image
"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...

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 Conquered Masturbation, You Can too!

By -
Image
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...

An Opportunity To Get Your Savings Right Immediately

By -
Image
Having some savings to help you take advantage of investment opportunities when they show up is a non-negotiable if you are really serious about building wealth. And you will also agree with me that it is not that easy as a lot of things get in our ways. But it is very much POSSIBLE. You might have tried everything. Though you make some money every month, YOU JUST DON’T SEEM TO HAVE ANYTHING REMAIN WITH YOU. It feels as you are slaving away your life and as the months and year winds down, your heart begins to beat fast again as your bank account remains... ”ZEROLY” EMPTY. Some other times, you just start right. It seems you are getting it right and suddenly village people will carry their wahala and come and in a couple of weeks, everything in your account will MIA just like that. Or maybe you keep getting it right, but the problem is that it seems you are working and just SAVING FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS. Every time you amount something nice, one problem, brother or friend will just ...

Success Story: Sir James Dyson

By -
Image
Sir James Dyson is a British inventor, industrial designer and the founder of Dyson company. He's presently 70 years old (born in 1947). He was involved in some inventions including the sea truck in 1970, the Ballbarrow (his first original invention) and the Wheelboat, which can travel on both land and water. James Dyson is best know for inventing the Dual Cyclone bagless vacuum cleaner, the world's first bagless vacuum cleaner. Before it's invention, the hoover vacuum was in use but this vacuum had a dust bag which get clogged with dust and this affects its performance, as it losses suction. It took over 5,000 trials and failures and about 5 years (with support from his wife's salary as an art teacher) before Dyson succeeded. When he finally did at the age of 36, no distributor in the United Kingdom wanted to market his product. He had to market his product in Japan (1983) where it was awarded an industrial award. Three years later (1986), Dyson obtained his first US...

Life is a Long Shot

By -
Image
When I see those that knew me when I was much younger, probably those we lived in same area or schooled together, I often wonder what they think of me today. About who I have become. I am far different from the person they knew, yet I know I only just begun in my journey to change lives all around the world. When I see men and women, and the weight of abilities they carry, I am astounded. Many of whom are not taking any step whatsoever to show the world the depth of possibility locked in their very soul. Sadly so. I have grown to be able to have conversations with people and pick messages off their lives. Things lying there waiting for expression. Edgy. It is usually a sight to behold when they have “aha” moments, seeing the possibilities that abound within them. I cherish such moments. I was speaking with a very inspiring lady yesterday evening (on the day this was written) and what she said touched my heart. She was loaded with messages from her life experience to bless many lives...

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...

Health (by Samuel Oba)

By -
Image
"If you want to be the picture of health, you'd better have a happy frame of mind" (E. C. McKenzie) "Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of; a blessing that money cannot buy" (Izaak Walton) "Say you are well, or all is well with you, and God shall hear your words and make them true" (Ella Wheeler Wilcox) "Health is wealth", goes a popular adage today. Good health is a precious gift, more precious to every person than silver and gold. Every person needs a healthy body in which to keep a sound mind. E. C. McKenzie advised, "why not cultivate health instead of treating disease?" Feeding well is one of the major determinants of our physical well being. If what we eat and drink is that important to good health, then it is certain that sickness will be reduced greatly, if we feed well. Health can be sustained great...
