Career / 7 Deliberate Ways To Start 2019 By Being Patient And Trusting Your Journey by 24hoursreporter: 6:05pm On Jan 02, 2019 |
7 Deliberate Ways to Start 2019 by being Patient and Trusting your Journey by Mobolaji Atolagbe Kenneth lay in bed and did not feel like going out. He just lay under the covers scrolling through the New Year celebration messages that his friends were putting up, he will swap from Whatsapp Status to Instagram stories and finally settled endlessly scrolling through Facebook posts. He felt left out and had nothing to celebrate. The above story is typical of many people, who look into the New Year and something in their heart makes them feel inadequate. It might be due to their singlehood, they still have not found the love they seek? Maybe it’s because they are unemployed or need an improvement in their finances. These points below will let you realize life is neither black nor white but rather a cocktail containing components of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. 1. Being alive every day is a Gift The fact that you are alive today and reading this shows there is a purpose for your life. Thousands of people went to bed and never woke. No matter how bad it is, because you are alive, there is a possibility for things to work for your good. When you wake every day, have a positive mindset that things will align in your favor. Focus on the little things you have an attack every day with renewed vigor. “Any day above ground is a good day. Before you complain about anything, be thankful for your life and the things that are still going well.” ― Germany Kent 2. There is NO ‘There’ There is really no destination in life. Each day comes with different goals and challenges. An instance can be a hard working lady who thinks getting married will make her life easier and better not knowing each step in life comes with its own baggage. After hitching a husband, then comes children and then more need for expansion financially or otherwise. There is a continuous struggle for improvement. There is no end till the very end and things can change at any time. Never stack all your life on one goal or success. Life is about continuous growth and improvement. 3. Have your own personal definition of success and happiness. Take time out to define what success and happiness mean to you. There are many people who are unhappy because they base their thoughts on what other people are chasing. Do not use the world’s yardstick. Take your time to write out things that are important and put them in order of priority. For example, Timi is an engineer in his mid-40’s who is married with 3 young children. His thoughts of success and happiness is: 1. TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR HIS IMMEDIATE AND EXTENDED FAMILY. 2. TO SPEND AS MUCH TIME AS POSSIBLE WITH HIS KIDS SO AS TO GROOM THEM TO BE BETTER PEOPLE. 3. GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY BY JOINING A NGO THAT OFFERS FREE EXTRA CLASSES FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN HIS LOCAL GOVERNMENT 4. TO BE PHYSICALLY FIT AND HAVE STAMINA. Due to the list above, you can easily find Timi more fulfilled doing the things that he loves which is spending time with his family and young people. To other people, their values might include getting wealthy beyond their wildest dreams among other things. Others might seek fame and want to be popular. There is nothing wrong with any value system that you choose as long as it connects with you deeply. 4. Be wary of Social Media. It is very dangerous to use the standard of Social media as a basis of living. Not all stories and pictures posted are a true representation of what is truly happening in people’s lives. Not everything that glitters is gold. Some of the clothes and cars used to pose for the beautifully filtered picture were borrowed. Some people posting a beautiful picture with their partner might be going through a very rough patch in their relationship. Instead of consuming yourself with worry, use your energy to plan and move forward. This does not mean all you see online is false. Some people are actually doing very well. All you have to do is to celebrate with them but you should not dwell on negative thoughts. Also spend a limited time online if you are not researching. Scrolling through social media can waste one’s time, your time is a very precious resource. Keep working to improve yourself. Do not be dragged into the trap of social media. 5. Improve where you are. Do not just hope and pray that your lot becomes better. You need to take practical steps to be better at the current situation you find yourself. If you have not gotten a different result in your situation, it simply means you need to try a different approach. Do not be frustrated when your request as not been answered, you might be asking the wrong questions. “If you do not know how to ask the right question, you discover nothing.” — W. Edwards Deming If you have been submitting your CV to different organizations, for example, and you have no response or feedback, maybe it’s time to change your location, your resume, attitude, and possibly change the caliber of friends you keep. Something has to change for there to be a new way. 6. Have an Attitude of Gratitude. We all have something to be grateful for. Look for yours daily. It might not be much but realize there is someone on planet earth who is willing to trade all s/he has for that thing. You might not have a great salary and afford to travel to exotic islands for a vacation but do you have people that love you for who you are? There are people that have all the things in the world but nobody to share it with. Be grateful for what you have while you hope and work towards something better. 7. Have a connection with God. saved the best for last. This is more than religion, more than just going to the church or mosque. Have a simple relationship with God and you’ll find respite in your dark times. Human beings will disappoint at some point, but once you have an eye on a force that is bigger than them, no matter what you go through, you will not be weary. 7 POINTS TO START THE NEW YEAR WITH 1. Being alive every day is a Gift: Do not take the fact that you are alive for granted. Appreciate every day. 2. There is NO ‘There’: It is a continuous trip that has its ups and down. Learn to enjoy and endure the trip. 3. Have your own personal definition of success and happiness: Do not use someone else’s definition to live your life. 4. Be wary of Social Media. : Do not spend all your time scrolling, use your time wisely not just liking pictures. 5. Improve where you are: There is a reason you are in your current situation, outgrow it by learning veraciously. 6. Have an Attitude of Gratitude: Nothing beats having a heart of gratitude, positivity will exude in all aspects of your life. 7. Have a connection with God: Have a strong spiritual life that helps you fight the battles of life.

Romance / 7 Types Of Guys You Shouldn’t Be With In 2019 by 24hoursreporter: 2:13pm On Dec 31, 2018 |
Having a healthy and stable relationship should be one of your new year resolutions. A healthy relationship in this sense doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make a better choice. In fact, you should have a standard. You shouldn’t just settle for anybody that comes your way because you need a relationship. Most times, ladies are the architects of their own problem. A beautiful, intelligent and educated woman will end up dating an unserious man. In the end, she will be claiming that the man breaks her heart. How will he not break your heart? Someone that is unserious with his life, how will he be serious with relationships Anyway, in this article we have presented to you, the 7 types of guys you shouldn’t be with in 2019. 7 Types Of Men You Shouldn’t Be With in 2019 1. Stingy Men One of the types of guys you shouldn’t be with in 2019 is the stingy ones. Some men are naturally stingy. If your guy is stingy, make sure you cut him off in 2019. Your guy should be able to take care of you and make you look attractive. Most times, some ladies will still be with a stingy guy because they don’t want to be labelled Gold-diggers. It doesn’t matter what people call you. Your man should show caring in cash. If he doesn’t have, it is understandable. But if he doesn’t just like spending money on you, then he isn’t for you. Men like these don’t worth your time. Give them a very wide gap. 2. Chronic Smokers And Drug Users Drug users and chronic smokers are also among the types of you shouldn’t be with in 2019. One thing with people that are into drug abuse is that they never get better. Any guy that excessively smokes or uses hard drugs shouldn’t be tolerated in a relationship. These are the types of guys that beat women, very aggressive and they make relationships complicated. Ladies yield to my advice, do away with any man that is into substance abuse as you approach 2019. Sincerely, except you are birds of the same feather, I don’t see how you will enjoy being a relationship with a chronic drug user. 3. The Notorious Liars Mhen! Some guys can lie. They will lie about everything; their career, finances, home, cars even the relationship itself. He just wants to impress you that he is super rich. While in reality, he is a “broke Ass Nigga”. Sadly, ladies will naturally fall for men like this. He will present himself as their fairy tale lover. Oops! It’s all scam... You will always enjoy the initial stage of this relationship. But as time passes by, you will realize that he is completely fake. In 2018, my very close friend was heartbroken by one of them. The lady in question is from a fairly rich background and she fell in love with this “Yoruba Demon” along the line. Trust me, the guy basically lied about everything. In fact, he proposed to my friend while his marriage was a month away. But she later found out and was really broken. It took a while for her to move on. So, take note of all the stories your guy is telling you. Once they aren’t consistent, please know that he is a liar and let him off the hook immediately. After all, a stitch in time saves nine. 4. The Cheater A cheating guy is a parasite you must cut off from your life. Some men are great cheaters. He will go for anything on a skirt and will even shamelessly at other women with interest when he is with you. When you are with these types of men, you are scared of introducing your beautiful friend or younger sister to him. This is because you know he will definitely want to get’em down. 5. Those That Are In For Your Body Nothing Else One of the types of guys you shouldn’t be with in 2019 is those that are only interested in your body. They aren’t concerned about your career goals or what you are going through in life. They will only call you when they want to have sex. And after you give them what they want, you never hear from them again. In fact, they always feel bored when you tell them what you are currently facing in our life. If you currently have a guy like this in your life, it is time to cut him loose. He is good for nothing “Asshole”. 6. Those That Are Commitment Phobic When dating a guy that doesn’t want commitment, you are just wasting your time. I assure you, nothing good can out of such relationship. These guys are relatively common. They will like to spend time with you, take you out and even takes a walk with you. In fact, he sometimes eats from the honeypot. But ask him what are you guys doing, he will tell you that “it’s complicated”. That is when he will start recounting his experience with his ex-girl. Any guy that is afraid of commitment is one of the types of men you shouldn’t be with in 2019. 7.Yahoo Boy If you are dating a Yahoo boy (who are sometimes ritualists) ensure you end whatever you are doing with him in 2019. In fact, you may be the budget for his Mercedes Benz in 2019. When you are dating a guy, try to ask him if his source of income. Don’t just jump into concision, do your finds first. There are some dudes out there who are making legit dollars online. However, once you discover that your boyfriend is an internet scammer, please run for your life. A word is enough for the wife. After all, not all that glitter is gold. Source: http://www.24hoursreporter.com/2018/12/31/7-types-of-guys-you-shouldnt-be-with-in-2019/ 17 Likes |

In fact, 25th and 26th of December is always a work free day in some Africa countries. However, Christmas celebration has been stopped or cancelled in some Africa countries. In this article, you will know the 3 African countries that stopped celebrating Christmas and the reason for the cancellation. Top 3 African Countries That Stopped Celebrating Christmas #1. Somalia Somalia is one of the African countries that stopped celebrating Christmas. This is due to the fact that the country is predominantly a Muslim nation. However, foreigners in Somalia can celebrate Christmas in their various homes. But they can’t celebrate it in hotels and other public places. In the past, the country celebrated Christmas. This changed in 2015. According to BBC, the Somalia Government banned Christmas celebrations warning that such Christian festivities could threaten the country’s Muslim’s faith. #2. Guinea Guinea is also among the African countries that stopped celebrating Christmas. The country actually celebrated Christmas till 2014 and stopped it due to the outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus. The cancellation of Christmas celebration in Guinea was not due to religious or polical reasons. But health concerned and safety of the citizens of Guinea. The widespread of Ebola virus made the cancellation of Christmas necessary in Guinea. The decision helps to avoid gatherings that will make people vulnerable to the virus, till date beaches in the country are closed, fireworks and firecrackers are banned as well. #3. Sierra Leone Just like Guinea, Sierra Leone also banned Christmas Celebration due to Ebola Virus in 2014. Soldiers were stationed on streets to ensure that there are no gatherings of any kind during the festivities period. This decision was necessary to curb the continuous spreading of Ebola virus in the country.

Career / 9 Strategic Ways To Set And Achieve Your Goals by 24hoursreporter: 9:37am On Dec 27, 2018 |
9 Strategic Ways To Set And Achieve Your Goals by Mobolaji Atolagbe Simon got stuck in the process of writing his goals and did not know what else to do. He is convinced that 2019 will be his year but he seemed he would not be able to put together a plan. So, he’ll just wing it as he usually did. “Whatever comes,” he thought to himself “Baba God always has my back”. Then he remembered a quote that had been haunting him for a while: “Life happens to those that do not take charge of their lives.” He decided to research how he will achieve his goals. He stumbled on an article that seemed to be written particularly for him not to just achieve his goals but to also surpass them. 1. Write all of your goals down Write down all the things that you are looking to achieve. These are the two reasons: 1. To know all the things that you have in your heart to achieve. 2. To be able to make reference to the important things when you get distracted. The bluntest pencil is better than the sharpest mind– Anonymous When a friend of mine made this statement over a decade ago, I thought it was just one of those quotes but since then life has shown me that writing things down is very essential for growth. Once you write your aims down, you can easily refer to it when you need to. The mind is as fragile as it is strong, things can distract it easily. This is particularly true especially now we are living in the age of distraction with a plethora of things calling for your attention. Write down all the things that are important to you and ensure that your goals must be SMART (I’ll share more about this in my next post) 2. Whittle it down to the most important “If you have more than 3 priorities, you have none” — Jim Collins You have to cut the clutter to make the most important goals stand out. If you do not prioritize, you will not be able to achieve your goals. I fell into the trap of wanting to do more in limited time and with limited energy. When you tend to chase too many diverse objectives at the same time with limited resources, you will be overwhelmed and fail at most of them. After writing all your goals, your next aim is to write your goals in the order of importance from the entire list you put together then select the top 3. Your criteria for selecting this top 3 should be the goals that are important to you and how it will springboard you to the next level that you seek. 3. Note specific steps necessary to achieve your goals What do you need to achieve each of the goals that you have prioritized? If you are looking to get another degree or do a professional course, will your current job give you enough time to study properly? Will you need to get a more flexible job? Can you talk to your boss to find out if you can have a more flexible time while studying for the exams? You have to note the things that are necessary for you to get to the desired end point. Must you learn a new skill? Do you need more discipline with your finances? Do you need to write more? Once you can highlight the specific steps, you need to start taking ACTION and ensure that you follow through. 4. Daily steps towards achieving the goal It is not enough to know the specific steps, you need to do these things on a daily basis. To be able to take daily steps, you’ll have to pre-plan your day. It is quite simple and will take only a few minutes. Draw out your to-do list for the next day just before you head to bed. On your to-do list, put together all the things that you aim to achieve, write them in order of priorities. This way, you can squeeze the little things that can assist you in achieving your goals into your day no matter how busy you get. For instance, if you want to read more about business in 2019, start by reading a chapter of a business book per day. It might be in the morning before heading to work, during your commute to or from work or just before you head to bed. Once you plan for it, pick out a book that you want to read and start reading a chapter daily, you’ll be surprised at the total number of books you’ll be able to complete before the end of the year. 5. Review on a daily and weekly basis There will be many things that will take your eyes off the goal. This is why it is important to review your goals daily and weekly. Meditate every morning (after prayer if you are a praying person) and look at your goals. Ensure the journal with your goals written out is by your bedside so you can have easy access to it. Look at it at night before you sleep so you can know the things that you did that day towards your goals. Constantly look at your goals and keep working towards it. Take a day on the weekend (Saturday or Sunday) to critically look through and highlight the activities of the previous week that helped you towards your goals. During this weekend review, you should also plan on improvements the coming week to help you to quicken your process. 6. Your timeline is your lifeline Working with your timeline is a major factor in achieving all the goals you have written. I’ll share my personal story of when I wanted to buy my first car and how the timeline helped me. I had written that I’ll buy a Toyota Corolla to use for Uber so I could have a passive income stream. The date to achieve this was November 31. As of September, although my savings was about 75% of the total cost of the car, I started looking for a good deal. There were many cars that looked great although they were not the exact specification I was in search of. Then I saw the car I wanted and although I knew that I did not have the funds for it then, started engaging to buy it. After countless phone calls, I was able to raise the funds to make the purchase and paid for it on November 18. If I did not give a timeline that I took seriously, I would have let go of the goal and maybe put it up for next year. Note that the pressure you feel when the timeline is close helps you think creatively about ways to achieve the goal. Do not keep shifting timelines when you have not used up ALL available prospects. 7. Hold yourself accountable Do not just feel bad when you miss your targets. You have to take responsibility for your actions or lack of them. You might have to get an accountability partner that will support you in achieving your goal. There might also be a need for you to do something as a punishment if you fail to commit to your goals. An instance, if your aim was to go to the gym at least 2 times a week, you can pay your accountability partner a certain amount of money if you miss your gym days. It has to be a sum that will hurt to let go of and your accountability partner really has to be someone that can hold you accountable for your actions. However, there will be times that things will go out of control and it will hurt you. Go through the pain and pick the lessons so you will not have to go through it again. “In the life of a champion, there are no failures. There are successes and lessons. Learn from your mistakes” — Mobolaji Atolagbe Mohamed Ali lost the championship belt to Joe Fraizer and the very next day he was back to train with the lessons learned from the fight. As a champion, keep going every day and hold yourself accountable. 8. Do not focus on the plans but on the planning “Plans were nothing but planning was everything” — Dwight Eisenhower During World War 2, the Allied Forces had to find a way to quash the Nazis so they made a way across the English Channel to Western Europe. General Dwight Eisenhower planned the largest seaborne invasion in modern war history and they succeeded with the hybrid utilization of deception and pure guts to successfully complete the invasion of Normandy which was tagged “Operation Overlord”. However, nothing went according to plan. On the day of landing in France, they had 9,000 casualties with 4,414 confirmed dead. This will have devastated any General but General Eisenhower actively used 12 months to plan the strike and knew how to be flexible once it was required. Eventually, the invasion was a huge success and dealt a huge blow to the Nazis. That was a major point which culminated to the end of War World II. This is the same way you should think, have a rigid goal but flexible plans so when one tactic does not work out, you do not fall flat on your face. Head back to the drawing board and re-strategize on how to get to your desired goal with the resources you have used in your planning. 9. Manage your time. “Until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else.” — Peter Drucker God has granted every single person in the world with the same 24 hours. What we do with this time determines the outcome of our lives. It is the proper management of our time that will determine the output of our life. We might live in denial but that is the stark reality. You, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Aliko Dangote have the same time but because they have found how to efficiently utilize theirs and have amassed lots of wealth and influence in the process. Learn to say no to things and people that do not align with your dreams. Also, know how you can efficiently apply yourself within the time that you have. Quick Points that you should hold on for 2019. 1. Write all of your goals down. Your mind can only hold as much information consciously at a time. Have your goals written out. 2. Prioritize to the most important If you do not reduce your goals, you will be overwhelmed. Focus on the vital few. 3. Note specific steps necessary to achieve these top 3 goals. There are certain action points you need to do before you can achieve the written aims. 4. Daily steps towards achieving the goal. Babies do not stand and run. They keep taking one small step forward until they get to what attracts them. 5. Review on a daily and weekly basis. Just like brushing your teeth, the more frequent you check your goals, the clearer the path to achieving it. 6. Your timeline is your lifeline. Set timelines that allow you to put in your best. 7. Hold yourself accountable. [/b]Take responsibilities for things you can change and learn from the things you can’t. [b]8. Do not focus on the plans but on the planning. The planning matters, with knowledge of the resources available, you will know how to be flexible when life attacks you. 9. Manage your time, manage your life. The ticking clock is your life. Manage it properly. P.S: Know that it is not just about you reaching your goals, it is about building a system of habits that you will continue to groom, Know that you cannot rest on your oars after achieving a particular target. Keep working on improving your habits. Once you have good habits, you can improve them to be great habits. Achieving your goals is amazing but you are not meant to relax, you need to keep grooming your habits such that there is a 1% daily growth in the important aspects of your life. These habits that will ensure you are successful long-term and not just be a flash in the pan. Quick example: Love him or hate him, why do you think C. Ronaldo is still a great footballer although he is past the peak age of most footballers?* *He has wired the concept of continuous practice in his head. His workout routine ensures that he is still in the best shape and can play at best possible personal standard. He has delivered results in every league he played because he has built habits that ensure he is at a peak state, physically, mentally and emotionally. The end game is not just to achieve your goals. Your end game is to learn how to build healthy habits. Source: http://www.24hoursreporter.com/2018/12/26/9-strategic-ways-to-set-and-achieve-your-goals/ 31 Likes 8 Shares |
