The Comfort Zone, a bigger threat than hardship

By -

What! Just because you're comfortable where you are doesn't mean there ain't no better place.
Sometimes, we're too lazy to step up and own what we really want.

I took a cab today (on the day this was written) heading somewhere and then two taxi drivers (The Driver of the car I entered and another one) – their conversation ended with:
Other Driver: In 2030, there would be cars running without fuel.
Our Driver: So what! I won't throw away this one na, I'd still be using it.

You just can't believe how shocked I was to hear that.

You see, truth of the matter is people don't get to advance because they're comfortable where they are. The greatest enemy to your tomorrow is your today. You need to understand that today is a phase for tomorrow to come. It's not a final bus stop.
Don't hold on to yesterday like it's a prize. There are better days ahead.

And if you really want to get the best out of life, you need to be uncomfortable with where you are now.
Somewhere somehow somebody is pushing himself/herself to become the top one of your craft.

Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos was the world’s richest person for less than a day, as Bill Gates reclaimed the top stop within eight hours. It took eight hours for Bill to change the record. You see!

Get out of your comfort zone!
Ease is a greater threat than hardship! Without commitment you won't be able to start a thing but most importantly without consistency you won't be able to finish it.

How I got out of paid employment in 11 months

It is true that you achieve what you put your mind to. January 27 2017, I was seated in the office to have my final interview. I have read lots of interview questions and answers online before then like I was going to get a 10 million naira job. Staying without job for a year was the lowest point of my life. I answered every questions pragmatically and then the very big question! How long do you see yourself working with us? "I can only guaranty that I will be here in the next one year", I replied. I didn't even last a year because I have my purpose and focus in view. I knew exactly what took me there so I wasn't that employee who has the mindset of retirement. In fact, I never participated in anything long term there. Maybe you also want to have total control of your time to play a bigger game. The following steps will guide you. Find your purpose: Every decisions I took springed from my discovery of Oladipupo. Though I was jobless in 2016, I used that year t...

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...

Calling a spade by its name!

"Lady kills her ex for leaving her for another lady",.. "Man pours acid on his ex for daring to leave him after seeing her through the University",.. Everyday we come across such disheartening headlines on the dailies and on the internet. As we all agree, a relationship must not end in marriage. Anything can happen and each party should be prepared to go their separate ways. Nobody wants to feel forced into marriage, do you? Certainly No. Nobody wants to be guilt trapped, have their lives threatened or have to look behind their backs when they walk through a lonely street just because they ended a relationship they just couldn't continue with, nobody! It's a terrible place to find yourself. So, a girl sends assassins after her ex, a day before his wedding, kidnaps him and days later, his corpse is found. She should be sentenced to death by hanging, electrocution, or firing squad; everyone calls for her head. It isn't really the guys fault,...

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...

Let's check up Sickle Cell Anaemia

By -
Image
It was World Sickle Cell Day some hours ago (June 19), so I decided to do a piece on Sickle Cell Anaemia (a Sickle Cell Disease). Our Blood consists of four major distinct types of blood cells, one of which is the Red blood cells. These Red blood cells contains a protein, Haemoglobin, which is responsible for transporting Oxygen around the body. (Of course, we know we can't live without Oxygen!). This protein, Haemoglobin, in its normal form (Haemoglobin A), enables the Red blood cells have a normal shape (disc shape), but when in a mutated form (Haemoglobin S), results in Red blood cells that are sickle-shaped. The normal disc-shaped Red blood cells are flexible and can easily move through small and large blood cells and around the body to supply oxygen to various body tissues and organs, but the sickle-shaped Red blood cells can't easily do this. They are rigid. Most times, they get stucked in the blood vessels and tend to block the vessels, preventing blood flow and oxygen...

Kids and Maturity:

By -
Image
Don't consider age when instilling discipline in your kids, rather consider their maturity. Some kids are smarter than normal for their age and should be corrected early enough if not you may be tempted to think they are still children not knowing they are learning fast and developing character. Try and discern difference among your kids. If a method worked for one doesn't mean it must work for the other. Identify the ones that need more attention and give such more attention so that they can catch up with the others and gain independence. I dislike it when I see Godly parents having ungodly kids. Your children are a reflection of your level of spiritual responsibility. Teach them how to comport themselves in church, don't always have that attitude that they are kids, and leave them. No! Teach them early enough to reverence the presence of God. My mum never believed any kid was smarter than me. That helped my self esteem and confidence which was evident in my academic...

We first have Standards; then we can talk Consistency

By -
Image
People who stand for something are those who are consistent in their choices. Consistency helps build Reputation. Consistency helps build Result. Consistency is what we do repeatedly no matter what. The difference between EFFORT and EFFECT is Consistency. We cannot be consistent if we don't stand for something. Every organization is built on the service delivery and experience and this both is a derivative of consistency. Great Organization are those who have standard brand, and those who have standard brand are men and women who are consistent in their dealings. The best of brands have standard! Standard are expected level of quality or performance below which is unacceptable. ~ FD For us to be recognized as someone with standard, we must be able to define an unacceptable level of quality or performance and we must also have an acceptable level of quality or performance. This validates our cognisance as one with a standard. The lower your standard, the less effort peopl...
