Are You a value-adding person or a parasite?

By -

Are you a value-adding person or a parasite? Do you go about seeking for opportunities to help, or to be helped? I have said it before and will say it again that, at our various levels, we all can be a blessing; somehow.

We know what you will do when you have plenty but what are you doing with the little in your hands? Only he that is faithful with little, can be trusted with much.

You were created to add value to your world; not to be a victim of circumstances.
Rise up, and give to your world.
Be a blessing today...

EXAMS (A Success message)

By -
Image
Today, I was inspired to pen down this message. The atmosphere of exams could be a tensed one, but we've got to reminder that it's just a game that we are meant to Win. ----- Exams aren't determinants of your Success or Fulfillment in life, they are ONLY ONE of the many ways YOU EXPRESS THAT INNATE EXCELLENCE that is RIGHT IN YOU. They aren't what to fear, they aren't a source of fear to dominate or oppress your mind. They are just games, where You've got to be the Winner! If You're scared already before it even starts, then You're already losing the Game. You wanna win the Game? Kill the Fears! Kill the Self doubts! You know what the fear and doubt does to You? They only kill your time and suppress that Innate Excellence that is right in YOU. And You know that when your spirit is depressed, even what You are natural at becomes a stranger to You. If those before You did it, You can do it! If those who birth the knowledge You learn, acquire and is req...

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...

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...

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from Tobi Afolabi (TASpeaks) on Comportment and Etiquette, a lesson delivered this year, in the month of February. Let's Talk About Series is a personal and career development discussion platform that discuss diverse topics to help boost people's productivity and build personal confidence. They are passionate about self discovery, and believe the strife for personal development helps in adding value to one's life; creating opportunities and setting priorities for the areas that make them most effective. You can check out the community on Facebook. ----- Tobi Afolabi: If I were to ask what we love most about Pastor E. A. Adeboye, I am likely to get comments such as he is humble, generous, polite, well dressed, cultured... If I ask same for Buhari, Dangote, Steve Harris, Jimi Tewe and many more, I am equally likely to get a similar feedback. Doesn't it amaze you that we...

IPad, Android Phones Versus Bible

By -
Image
Yesterday (on the day this was written), I watched Pastor Chris Oyakilome live as he preached. He used his iPad to read out scriptures. Later in the day, I saw a post on Instagram, and one guy like that insulted Pastor Chris for using iPad, instead of his Bible. I laughed at the man's ignorance. I remember an Uncle of mine was invited to a Church. He went there with his iPad, and someone asked him: "Sir, where is your Bible?” He showed him his 10.1 inches Pad. “But Sir,” he said, “This is not a Bible, this is iPad, you need to carry your Bible. You're not a good preacher, if you don't preach with your Bible," one of the pastors said. Now this is my point: Before the advent of printing press, the scriptures were originally written on a scroll! The ten commandments were written on a stone! Not on a Book called “Holy Book”. If the Book where the Bible was printed on becomes Holy Book, then my android phone is “Holy Android” because God’s word is inside it. Than...

Real wealth comes through solving problems

By -
Image
I'm not certain of the actual writer of this, but I think it's worth sharing on this space. Thumbs up to the Writer! ----- The major secret of billionaires is their ability to find solutions to the challenges of humanity. All of them created solutions that brought the billions. Presently, Bill Gates is spending millions of dollars in search of renewable energy. By the time he finds one and become a major player in the electricity industry, we will say he is lucky. But we forget that he didn't pray for financial breakthrough, he only found a solution to a global problem. Wealthy people don't necessarily look for money, they create solutions, and money will follow them! Larry Page and Sergey Brin went all out to help humanity find things faster on the internet, and billions of dollars followed them. Mark Zuckerberg created platforms for socialization, and over $71 billion followed him. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak went all out to reduce the size of computer. What ...

Keep Showing Up (Motivational Speech)

Keep Showing Up is a motivational speech from a motivational video by FearlessMotivation.com ----- If no one invests in you, INVEST IN YOURSELF. If no one believes in you, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. Even if you don't see the results right away, KEEP SHOWING UP, until you see the results. Even if you don't see the results for a very, very long time... KEEP SHOWING UP. What if the results don't come. They're not going to come if you quit. KEEP SHOWING UP. I'm tired,  KEEP SHOWING UP. I don't feel like it,  KEEP SHOWING UP. I can't see any results,  KEEP SHOWING UP. I don't know where to start. JUST START, DO SOMETHING. Take that FIRST STEP. Every step you take adds up. And sooner or later, you'd look back and see that you're at the top of the staircase. It doesn't matter if you can't see the top from where you are. Just know that if you keep climbing, if you keep learning HOW, you can get to the next level. You'll soon be exactly wher...

Whose Fault? You are responsible for the pregnancy of your life

Two days back, I went to the café regards NYSC registration issues. On getting there and making my intent known, the café guy said to me that the site was not yet opening as he had already checked that morning. I dropped my number, and asked him to give me a call or just flash when it does. I took his number too and went home. Over an hour later, no call. So I decided to call him, and when I asked him about the site, he said: "it's now accessible". Even as I headed out to the café, I kept wondering why he never called as we agreed. On getting there, the way he was acting — I doubted that the guy had seen me before. I once entered a taxi; turned out that I had never been to where I was headed to, that day. So I told the conductor where I was headed to and that I know it not. He said okay, no problem. So I relaxed, after all, I have informed conductor (sighs). The conductor forgot me and my destination. I was soon way past my destination, I trekked that day plus extra tran...
