Buhari that's been practicing agriculture all his life, what did he achieve with it ? Telling people to go into agriculture without raising the standard of education is stupid. Gone are the days when people did little farming. Now you need a lot of research, modernized tools and seedlings.

Anyway, I never take advice from anyone that gives advice for a living(eg bloggers).

Anything mothers can do we can do better except in the area of breastfeeding and giving birth to the young ones is a popular statement fathers sometimes say to their wife.

At the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, it was recently unveiled, the Father’s Nursing Assistant. It is bizarre gadget that tends to allow fathers to help reduce the stress of breastfeeding by mothers. Research shows that much of the stress and difficulties on parental is associated with taking care of their offspring are related to breastfeeding and sleeping, responsibilities in which fathers’ get involved tends to be low.

In order to get the attentions of the fathers to participate more and relieve some of the work-load off mothers, Japanese corporation Dentsu has invented device which is either refer to as a formula tank or wearable milk shaped inform of female breasts, which allows men to breastfeed babies.

The Father’s Nursing Assistant is modeled after a woman’s breasts, with one section serving as for housing the milk or formula tank, and the other being the breastfeeding port equipped with a silicone nipple. The device is heated to simulate the warmth of the mother’s body and enable the baby to sleep peacefully in his father’s arms.


Apart from the fact that the Father’s Nursing Assistant serves as breastfeeding device shaped milk tank. It also vibrates to help induce sleep to the baby, it also has a features sensors that track the infant’s sleeping behavior and breastfeeding rate, in which the data will then being exported to a smartphone to be viewed via a dedicated app.

This Father’s Nursing Assistant device is still in the concept stage, but who knows, one day soon breastfeeding of babies could become father and mother responsibility.

Be proactive!

What is the term proactive?

Proactive: controlling a situation by making things happen or by preparing for possible future problems.

All human are by nature proactive. Although, the proactive muscles may be dormant because we don't use them, they exist in all human.

With the abilities bestowed on man such as self - awareness ;the ability to think about your thought processes, imagination; the ability to see beyond the present situation or reality, conscience; a part of the mind that makes you aware of your actions as being either morally right or wrong, free will; the ability to act based on your self awareness, free of all other clouts/ influence.

Human can take responsibility of his actions. Looking at the word responsibility - "response - ability" meaning the ability to choose your response.

Proactive people take responsibility for their actions. They don't blame people, situation, circumstances, environment or behaviour. They are value driven individuals rather than feeling driven individuals.

Proactive people carry their weather along with them. They are not influenced by weather. Whether it rains or shines make no difference to them.

Proactive people don't allow the behaviour of others define them, their behaviour is a product of their own deliberate and conscious choice based on values not feelings.

In the words of Gandhi, " They cannot take away our self respect if we don't give it to them."

Proactive individuals focus on their "circle of concern" not "circle of influence".

Wouldn't you rather join the proactive individuals?

Being proactive means enjoying your life regardless of all hurdles.

Life is to short and full of ups and downs to spend it reactively.

Be proactive... enjoy your life, for it is brief and there is no time in it for anguish.

To be continued.

From your emotional and social intelligence coach.
