dead Liberian victim “The airline manifest has not been provided by the airline as at the time of this report and therefore, the precise number of passenger contacts is yet to be ascertained, especially as two flights were involved (Monrovia-Lome and Lome-Lagos).”

TribalEAST: I miss my GSD, dude died. I remember how the dog saved me once. I usually lie down on a mat which I place on the suck away in our compound every night when NEPA just finished doing their job. One faithful night while I was fast asleep on the suck away as usual, I heard my dog JoJo barking incessantly. I woke up with anger and cautioned the dog before sleeping off. Few minutes later, the bark woke me up again, this time I was curious. What could be making this dog to bark this much? A sense told me to check the direction JoJo was facing while barking. Behold, I saw a GIANT figure on the roof of the building in front of the suck away. What was it? A closer look and it was a GIANT OWL as the bulging eyes shone while staring at me in the dark. I quickly flung the mat towards its direction out of fear while JoJo's bark became louder. You need to have seen how big the owl was when it flew off...like a plane landing. If not for my JoJo, perhaps I would be blind by now cos I believe the owl was scrutinising me cos it thought I was some dead body. Had it been JoJo wasn't around, the bird would have plucked my eyes. JOJO, am sorry for whatever wrong I did you. I miss u. RIP

Dfavouredone: I am 28 now. I don’t think about the past or regret things
much these days.
But sometimes I wish that I had known some of things I
have learned over the last few years a bit earlier.
So here are 16 things I wish they had taught me in school
(or I just would like to have known about earlier).
1. The 80/20 rule.
This is one of the best ways to make better use of your
time. The 80/20 rule – also known as The Pareto Principle
– basically says that 80 percent of the value you will
receive will come from 20 percent of your activities.
So a lot of what you do is probably not as useful or even
necessary to do as you may think.
You can just drop – or vastly decrease the time you spend
on – a whole bunch of things.
And if you do that you will have more time and energy to
spend on those things that really brings your value,
happiness, fulfilment and so on.
2. Parkinson’s Law.
You can do things quicker than you think. This law says
that a task will expand in time and seeming complexity
depending on the time you set aside for it. For instance, if
you say to yourself that you’ll come up with a solution
within a week then the problem will seem to grow more
difficult and you’ll spend more and more time trying to
come up with a solution.
So focus your time on finding solutions. Then just give
yourself an hour (instead of the whole day) or the day
(instead of the whole week) to solve the problem. This will
force your mind to focus on solutions and action.
The result may not be exactly as perfect as if you had
spent a week on the task, but as mentioned in the previous
point, 80 percent of the value will come from 20 percent
of the activities anyway. Or you may wind up with a better
result because you haven’t overcomplicated or
overpolished things. This will help you to get things done
faster, to improve your ability to focus and give you more
free time where you can totally focus on what’s in front
of you instead of having some looming task creating stress
in the back of your mind.
3. Batching.
Boring or routine tasks can create a lot of
procrastination and low-level anxiety. One good way to
get these things done quickly is to batch them. This means
that you do them all in row. You will be able to do them
quicker because there is less start-up time compared to
if you spread them out. And when you are batching you
become fully engaged in the tasks and more focused.
A batch of things to do in an hour today may look like this:
Clean your desk / answer today’s emails / do the dishes /
make three calls / write a grocery shopping list for
tomorrow.
4. First, give value. Then, get value. Not the other way
around.
This is a bit of a counter-intuitive thing. There is often
an idea that someone should give us something or do
something for us before we give back. The problem is just
that a lot of people think that way. And so far less than
possible is given either way.
If you want to increase the value you receive (money,
love, kindness, opportunities etc.) you have to increase
the value you give. Because over time you pretty much get
what you give. It would perhaps be nice to get something
for nothing. But that seldom happens.
5. Be proactive. Not reactive.
This one ties into the last point. If everyone is reactive
then very little will get done. You could sit and wait and
hope for someone else to do something. And that happens
pretty often, but it can take a lot of time before it
happens.
A more useful and beneficial way is to be proactive, to
simply be the one to take the first practical action and get
the ball rolling. This not only saves you a lot of waiting,
but is also more pleasurable since you feel like you have
the power over your life. Instead of feeling like you are
run by a bunch of random outside forces.
6. Mistakes and failures are good.
When you are young you just try things and fail until you
learn. As you grow a bit older, you learn from – for
example – school to not make mistakes. And you try less
and less things.
This may cause you to stop being proactive and to fall into
a habit of being reactive, of waiting for someone else to
do something. I mean, what if you actually tried something
and failed? Perhaps people would laugh at you?
Perhaps they would. But when you experience that you
soon realize that it is seldom the end of the world. And a
lot of the time people don’t care that much. They have
their own challenges and lives to worry about.
And success in life often comes from not giving up despite
mistakes and failure. It comes from being persistent.
When you first learn to ride your bike you may fall over
and over. Bruise a knee and cry a bit. But you get up,
brush yourself off and get on the saddle again. And
eventually you learn how to ride a bike. If you can just
reconnect to your 5 year old self and do things that way –
instead of giving up after a try/failure or two as grown-
ups often do -you would probably experience a lot more
interesting things, learn valuable lessons and have quite a
bit more success.
7. Don’t beat yourself up.
Why do people give up after just few mistakes or failures?
Well, I think one big reason is because they beat
themselves up way too much. But it’s a kinda pointless
habit. It only creates additional and unnecessary pain
inside you and wastes your precious time. It’s best to try
to drop this habit as much as you can.
8. Assume rapport.
Meeting new people is fun. But it can also induce
nervousness. We all want to make a good first impression
and not get stuck in an awkward conversation.
The best way to do this that I have found so far is to
assume rapport. This means that you simply pretend that
you are meeting one of your best friends. Then you start
the interaction in that frame of mind instead of the
nervous one.
9. Use your reticular activation system to your advantage.
I learned about the organs and the inner workings of the
body in class but nobody told me about the reticular
activation system. And that’s a shame, because this is one
of the most powerful things you can learn about. What this
focus system, this R.A.S, in your mind does is to allow you
to see in your surroundings what you focus your thoughts
on. It pretty much always helps you to find what you are
looking for.
So you really need to focus on what you want, not on what
you don’t want. And keep that focus steady.
Setting goals and reviewing them frequently is one way to
keep your focus on what’s important and to help you take
action that will move your closer to toward where you
want to go.
10. Your attitude changes your reality.
We have all heard that you should keep a positive attitude
or perhaps that “you need to change your attitude!”. That
is a nice piece of advice I suppose, but without any more
reasons to do it is very easy to just brush such
suggestions off and continue using your old attitude.
But the thing that I’ve discovered the last few years is
that if you change your attitude, you actually change
your reality. When you for instance use a positive attitude
instead of a negative one you start to see things and
viewpoints that were invisible to you before. You may think
to yourself “why haven’t I thought about things this way
before?”.
When you change your attitude you change what you focus
on. And all things in your world can now be seen in a
different light.
This is of course very similar to the previous tip but I
wanted to give this one some space. Because changing
your attitude can create an insane change in your world.
It might not look like it if you just think about it though.
Pessimism might seem like realism. But that is mostly
because your R.A.S is tuned into seeing all the negative
things you want to see. And that makes you “right” a lot
of the time. And perhaps that is what you want. On the
other hand, there are more fun things than being right all
the time.
If you try changing your attitude for real – instead of
analysing such a concept in your mind – you’ll be
surprised.
11. Gratitude is a simple way to make yourself feel happy.
Sure, I was probably told that I should be grateful.
Perhaps because it was the right thing to do or just
something I should do. But if someone had said that feeling
grateful about things for minute or two is a great way to
turn a negative mood into a happy one I would probably
have practised gratitude more. It is also a good tool for
keeping your attitude up and focusing on the right things.
And to make other people happy. Which tends to make you
even happier, since emotions are contagious.
12. Don’t compare yourself to others.
The ego wants to compare. It wants to find reasons for
you to feel good about yourself (“I’ve got a new bike!”).
But by doing that it also becomes very hard to not compare
yourself to others who have more than you (“Oh no, Bill
has bought an even nicer bike!”). And so you don’t feel so
good about yourself once again. If you compare yourself
to others you let the world around control how you feel
about yourself. It always becomes a rollercoaster of
emotions.
A more useful way is to compare yourself to yourself. To
look at how far you have come, what you have
accomplished and how you have grown. It may not sound
like that much fun but in the long run it brings a lot more
inner stillness, personal power and positive feelings.
13. 80-90% of what you fear will happen never really come
into reality.
This is a big one. Most things you fear will happen never
happen. They are just monsters in your own mind. And if
they happen then they will most often not be as painful or
bad as you expected. Worrying is most often just a waste
of time.
This is of course easy to say. But if you remind yourself of
how little of what you feared throughout your life that
has actually happened you can start to release more and
more of that worry from your thoughts.
14. Don’t take things too seriously.
It’s very easy to get wrapped up in things. But most of the
things you worry about never come into reality. And what
may seem like a big problem right now you may not even
remember in three years.
Taking yourself, your thoughts and your emotions too
seriously often just seems to lead to more unnecessary
suffering. So relax a little more and lighten up a bit. It
can do wonders for your mood and as an extension of that;
your life.
15. Write everything down.
If your memory is anything like mine then it’s like a
leaking bucket. Many of your good or great ideas may be
lost forever if you don’t make a habit of writing things
down. This is also a good way to keep your focus on what
you want..
16. There are opportunities in just about every
experience.
In pretty much any experience there are always things
that you can learn from it and things within the
experience that can help you to grow. Negative
experiences, mistakes and failure can sometimes be even
better than a success because it teaches you something
totally new, something that another success could never
teach you.
Whenever you have a “negative experience” ask yourself:
where is the opportunity in this? What is good about this
situation? One negative experience can – with time – help
you create many very positive experiences.
What do you wish someone had told you in school or you had
just learned earlier in life?
