True Love is about what You can add and make out of the other person's life

By -

Whether You are a female or male, You don't go into a relationship because of what You can get but because of what You can give. True love is not about what You can get from the other person, but about what You can add and make out of the life of the other person.

True love must not be parasitic. True love must never be one-sided. A parasitic relationship is an unhealthy relationship. If he takes You out, You also take him out once in a while. If he buys You stuff and gives You gifts, do the same. That is true love. Give and continue to give. Give your prayers, time, obedience, support, respect, money, coolheadedness, understanding, smiles, laugh, humility, loyalty, gentleness, counsels etc. Give and continue to give. That is true love!

It is time to dump Virgin Ideas if You are to monetize your passion

By -
Image
Someone sent me a private message sometime ago and he narrated how he has been finding it difficult to monetize his ideas. He told me how it took him three years to finally come up with the idea. Striving for three years to conceive an idea was tough for him and now, he couldn't earn a dime from his idea. I was surprised and I had to ask him why it took him three years to come up with the idea. ''People are implementing every ideas that I had before that idea. And that idea was the only one I got that no one is doing it yet''. You see the mistake? People still believe that their ideas must be raw, untouched and Virgin for it to scale. People believe having Virgin ideas is what makes them unique. The truth is, discovering an idea to be Virgin is an indication that it's not marketable, neither can it be profitable. If no one is doing it, it may not be suited for our world. Dump that idea ASAP the moment you realize there's no market for it. The world h...

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...

We are Members of One Body, NOT Independent Cells

By -
Image
Beloved, Christianity isn't a personal race as we are made to believe. It is rather a collective race with personal responsibilities. We are not the Cell of Christ but the Body of Christ. We must realize that whatever affects one part, affects the whole body. We must understand that all these talks such as "Leave everyone to their own beliefs. Let whatever you belief work for you. If I tithe, is it your business?" etcetera, are all revelations of a lack of synergy in the Faith. The Lord Jesus would have us grow up into him in all things. He would have his Church walk in Holy rhythmicity. He would have us understand that we are one united force before whom the World is to tremble. This individualistic mindset is actually folly and it's a huge debit on our eternal inheritance. We must begin to see ourselves, not as separate entities with placentas tied to the womb of the "Pauls and Apollos" of our times, but as one Holy body, under the command of one Lord...

The Power Of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale

By -

Today, I'll share few of what I learnt from this inspiring book by Norman Vincent Peale. It's an amazing and inspiring book, which I feel a lot of persons have read. But if you haven't, it's worth checking out. It's amazing to know that Peale's book is still inspiring lives long after written, and after he's gone (Peale died in 1993 at the age of 95 years). • Nothing is inherently powerful. But WE are powerful, and we can give strength and power to whatever we choose to give such to. One's mind gives strength and power to circumstances, things, situations. And the more one's mind focus on something, it gives greater strength and power to such thing. And when strength and power is given to something, that thing has some control and authority even over us, the giver of the power, and would exercise that authority until one recognizes it and decides to take away such authority. It's then left for us to decide what we should give greater strength a...

Personal Brand Development (by Tobi Afolabi)

I am a member of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. I'll be sharing notes from one of the sessions held earlier this year, on Personal Brand Development by Tobi Afolabi, the pioneer of "The Let's Talk About Series" community. ---------- Tobi Afolabi : A lot has been shared on this community about personal branding which all balls down to the fact that it is the perception people have about us and what we do. These things we do may be conscious or unconscious to us, but the fact remains that they form a perception of who we are. We live in a world of brands today: People, places, organizations, ideas and many more. Why do I say this? A number of us today, if we were asked to choose the our best fashion designer, shoe maker, life coach, footballer.... We do it based on the perception we have about these people. Same happens to places, organisations, ideas, as well as many other things. Our decisions are based to a very large extent on our inter...

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...

A Leader's Journey through Purpose (Part 1)

By -
Image
I'm going to make myself believe everyone here knows who a leader is, because at some point we might have interacted with one or we are one ourselves. So I'd just dash to the point. Humans are basically good at something – PLANNING. Even if most persons wouldn't agree with this. Like the popular saying, "He that fails to plan have planned to fail", so in some way we plan. Whether it's all straight or not. Considering our fast-paced, dynamic and forward thinking society, everybody wants to succeed (although few persons are still not planning to), and at such we make plans on how to beat the game. Well, I'd like to say not all future plans should be shared (sometimes oh) but nevertheless, in sharing them people become aware of your journey and your boldness. People may rebuke your dreams and tell you how impossible it will be but they'll sure never forget it. They'll apply their hearts to caution and keep their eyes on you. The bigger your dreams...

I Lost Myself, I Found Myself, Again!

I was nothing special. I get that. I come from humble beginnings. Zero silver spoon in my mouth. In school, I didn’t fit in. Wasn’t given much of a chance. A teacher told me I’d never make a head-on in writing. I didn’t believe him (Trust your instincts versus your critics). I kept on moving ahead. I understood the power of ferocious learning – reading books constantly, studying the best consistently and putting in the effort relentlessly. I made seemingly insignificant small acts that to me revealed a beautiful progress. Quietly proving my naysayers knew nothing. Anyone can put someone down. Heroes lift others up. Thanks to another teacher of mine. In Jss2 – my Yoruba teacher. She saw something in me that nearly no one had. She encouraged me – and helped me believe in myself. Via her, my self-perception changed. My interior story transformed. I’ll always revere her for this. I've had disposed papers where I penned my writings. I couldn't get any published. I started with...
