I will like to have a very peaceful non painful death in my sleep.
*typin this made my heart skip a bit

Why ur heart dey skip.

diablos:
Will also like 2 go out wit a bang! Ontop ur mama

Behave ur self

I know this is a very touchy subject many wouldn't want to discuss. But the fact is death is inevitable. It's not as if discussing it now would make your time come speedily. I remember many years ago a presenter on tv asked this same question. 'If you are given a choice on what way you would want to die, how would you choose to die'. Many that called in chose to die in their sleep.
I wouldn't want to die in my sleep, it's just too sad and depressing and too ordinary.
If I had a choice, I would want to die with a bang. Maybe sacrificing my life for earth like bruce willis did in Amargeddon. I would want my death to make a difference.








That is of course having lived a full life

The baby grows up to hear such word in his/her immediate environment, the baby then gradually and subconsciously learn to start saying such word(s).

simplyOJ:
My exact thought. Such words are echoed to the hearing over time. The child naturally learn to assign nana and dada to mummy and daddy.

Wat if probably the baby doesn't hear the word.

O gini. Why so mean

I experienced a really beautiful thing yesterday- a baby's first word.
But then I was my imagination in its normal way of over-thinking began asking questions.

Do babies have an default inbulit 'mummy/daddy' first word or do the mothers or fathers keep repeating 'mummy/daddy' so the babies pick them up.
Must a babies first word be mummy/daddy?
What if someone just kept repeating a word like haberdashery, would the baby pick up the word?

All of the characteristics HR looks for in a job candidate are the polar opposite of what enlightened leaders seek in new talent. While HR is tediously focused on making certain that candidates "play well in the sandbox," strong managers want those who don't venture near the proverbial box. Which creates a conundrum and a paradox: to get to the latter you need to lie to the former. As well you should. Why be held hostage to a broken system?

Case in point: the HR person will likely ask you if
you work well with others? Well, many of the
smartest and most innovative people on the planet
simply don't. Not that they are trouble makers or in
any way venal but they simply prefer to work alone, creating marvels of software, mathematical
formulas or extraordinary feats of creativity. But can they tell HR:
"No. I don't really like working with others. I guess
you can say I do my best work by myself. My
professors at MIT used to call me a 'loner.'"
HR's universal reaction to this honest response
would be "Next." Einstein and Newton would have
failed their test.

For years, my firm worked with a hedge fund that
invests capital based on quantitative strategies,
developed by their team of math and physics
brainiacs. None even pretend to enjoy the social
aspects of the work environment. For them, it is all
about hibernation, concentration and introspection.
They never stepped into a sandbox as kids and
they aren't about to start now.
Over the course of an intense year when we
examined and adjusted many of the practices of
the fund, management came to recognize that the
caliber of the candidates coming to them for
second-stage interviews was way down below the
quality hierarchy. On closer examination, we
discovered the HR filter was turning the best and
the brightest away before they could be seen by
senior fund managers -- all geeks and loners in their
own right. The solution was simple: HR was limited
to managing the fund's employee benefits and
policies and completely removed from the hiring
process.

Another HR question that demands a lie goes like
this:
"So tell me why you want to work for our company."
In many cases, the honest answer would be:
"I think this is the best place to make a fortune
before I'm 35. I really want a chunk of those stock
options."
But to the HR paint-by-numbers gang, that would
lead to a fast dismissal out the fire exit. To get to
the next-stage interview you have to lie, waxing
poetic about the company's innovative culture or
lionizing it's irreverent founder (who, by the way, is
eager to have brilliant wealth-seeking hot shots on
the team).
The old adage "Just be yourself," is a fool's game
when it comes to the hiring process. Instead, at the
outset, you need to be what HR wants you to be.
And in most cases, you need to (and very well
should) lie to win a pass to see the real players in
the company. The ones with a 180 degree different
(from HR) perspective on life/business/success and
how to get what you want in your career.

Look, I don't believe in making lying a way of life--in
fact, I appreciate blunt and honest people and think
of myself in this way. But when a system is stacked
against the truth, dance around it.

Nice thread.
As u prepare for interviews, try not to cram answers to likely interview questions.
The HR person cud notice or u cud miss a line & b thrown of balance as in my case.

During my interview at UBA, I was asked 'what can you do for us', of course I had a prepared answer in my head. Unfortunately I missed a line, I had to start afresh. it was really messy, started mixing words, I was incoherent. I made a fool of myself that day. How I managed to scale through to the next stage is still a miracle.

Then always prepare your mind for weird absurd questions. At times its ur confidence in answering the question that wd matter not the answer.

* I read earlier in the thread about red tie being offensive. Is that true? I think red is bold.

All these plenty complains about their test, cud it be an elimination strategy?

1. “He was drunk”. So what? He will be drunk again. And although I have personally never been drunk, I know many people who do occasionally get intoxicated- NONE of them hit their women. Your husband or boyfriend is not NORMAL. Stop trying to convince yourself he is.

2. “He’s under a lot of stress”. Real men deal with stress by hitting the gym, hitting a golf ball or even hitting the buffet. They do NOT hit women. Stress is not a gateway emotion to violence for healthy, normal men.

3. “I deserved it”. What? No. There is nothing you or any woman can do to validate violence against you. Maybe you have done something so bad he leaves you, but violence is not on the list of options for him to choose from when he is upset. NEVER AN OPTION.

4. “His dad abused his mom. It’s all he knows.” When I hear that statement, it makes me throw up a little in my mouth. So what if he witnessed abuse as a child?? If anything, he knows better than others the hurt and pain that comes from abuse. In life we witness lots of things that are bad but we don’t then go integrate them into our own lives. If your man abuses you because he witness abuse, let him go witness therapy. Let him go witness a support group. Let him go witness life alone without you and the children.

5. “It was only once. He apologized.” Statistics say that where there is a “first time”, there is a second time. Your response to the “first time” needs to send an incredibly clear message to your “man” that there will be no second time. Send that message so clearly it haunts him. Make a bold statement with action attached. It is the ‘action’ that will signal the level of your seriousness. That might be calling the police, it might be moving out for a week or two, it might be telling him to leave for a week or require immediate counseling. Your words to him after being hit MUST be followed up with immediate action to reinforce the true level of intolerance you have for violence against yourself.

Lately, there has been much discussion about violence against women by the men in their life. Many have said there is never a good reason for a man to strike a woman but I disagree and today I am speaking out! I have six sons and I have taught them what my father taught my brothers and I: there are four good reasons for a man to hit the woman he loves;

1. Fire.
If you look over at the woman you love and discover flames have overtaken your girl, you should absolutely knock her to the ground and start rolling her around.

2. Spider.
If your princess discovers a spider wandering across her shoulder and with sheer terror in her voice says “GET. IT. Off! You should smack that 8 legged sucker right off of her.

3. Choking.
If over dinner she begins to laugh at another one of your amazingly funny stories and in the process, lodges a bit of her steak in her throat, you have my full support to yank her out of her chair, spin her around and start squeezing her beneath her rib-cage until she spits up!

4. Train.
If, while enjoying a peaceful, after dinner walk with your lover, you notice she has wandered into the path of a quickly approaching oncoming train, by all means, grab her by her arm and like the strong man you are, yank her backwards aggressively.


Absent the presence of fire, spiders, choking or trains, dad taught us boys there is never, ever, ever, ever, ever a justifiable reason for a man to strike a woman. Period. He said real men don’t do it. He then added this important definition about being a ‘real man’ which I want to share with all men today;

“Real men don’t allow other men to hit women either.”

Loool. Obviously him never find work for nigeria. We all as fresh graduates had that notion but the 'market' had its agenda. Make him wake up. There r plenty other pple with good qualification as him fighting for the very little '250k and above' jobs. He shd keep an open mind. If he gets the 250k job good, if he doesn't, he cud as well lower his ask.

Napc: HELP!!!

mstik: All those randy male teachers, una dey hear??
Reminds me of a story I heard. There was this attractive male corper that was posted to one village to work. He worked as a teacher in one girls' secondary school. As expected, they were all dying for him, and the pervert took advantage of these poor girls. He slept with a lot of them. Turned out he had HIV/AIDS, and he infected the girls with the disease...

It goes both ways. Dey also have excessive randy female students too. My NYSC days I was in an all-girl sec sch. U wd not imagine the extent these girls wd go. If noe b my kind person eh.

Herme: Is ur mail from the recruiter or the client? I got one on successful completion of registration, but didn't say anytin abt my test. It ws frm 'donotreply@globalprofilers.com'

It ws from the recruiter. 'donotreply@globalprofilers.com'

Abi has someone gotten?
