The insidious destroyers are sneaky attitudes that creep into our lifestyle daily, unnoticed, which if not checked, can destroy potential and lower one from grace to grass. Today’s post is the second in this series.

Recently I was watching a football match in sparsely populated viewing center close to my apartment in school when something interesting occurred. It was Manchester United versus Ajax Amsterdam in the Netherlands a week ago and when United’s Mexican striker Javier Hernandez spurned a good opportunity to double United’s lead, the united fans in the room yelled curses at the North American striker for the woeful miss. Their pain as expressed by one of them was that their players are paid too much to miss such chances. But while they were still raining the curses, an obviously irritated neutral from behind the room howled in pidgin “Una no dey pay school fees, fail exams?” I couldn’t help laughing it out loud, it was funny of course. And even the cursing United fans saw light in his opinion. When I got back home after the match, in my usual manner, I pondered on those words.

The ranting United fans had a point of course – Hernandez is paid an amount in the region of £80,000 a week most of which comes from money United fans in England and around the globe pay to watch their club’s games week-in-week-out. So with such money and high level of expectation from the supporters, Hernandez should not be missing such opportunities.

But the other side of the coin told a similar story of the people who were hurling stones at the United striker for his miss – they are ALL students; their parents/guardians pay exorbitant school fees yearly for them, and also invest a lot in ensuring they are well sheltered, fed and provided for while at school. All these just to ensure they give the child a good education and hence a good start in life. But in return, most students spend all their time and resources in school on frivolities which include watching football of course, and on a hedonistic lifestyle, eventually failing courses or dropping out of school or ‘sorting’ their way through school and eventually graduating with a poor or average grade.

These were the same people ‘casting stones’ at Hernandez for “earning so much” and “missing such an easy chance.” Indeed, ‘let he who is without sin be the first to cast the stone’. As fate would have it, and as often happens in life, Javier Hernandez was the man who scored the goal that sealed victory for United in Amsterdam, much to the delight of those United fans.

The insidious destroyer in today’s post is PREJUDICE. We see it everyday, as victims or perpetrators. We are often quick to condemn people when they do what we would have done under the same circumstances. We write-off the poor, that they can’t become anything meaningful. We look down on the young and those lower than us, that they have nothing to offer. We discriminate against people from a culture, race and tribe different from ours, often destroying their self image and thus hampering a peaceful and cordial relationship with them.

But as often happens in life and as happened in the Javier Hernandez case above, ‘the stones that the builders reject, becomes the corner stone’. Popular soul music artist, Bukola Elemide (Asa pronounced ‘Asha’), in her single titled Mr. Jailer, refers to one who lives with prejudice towards others as Mr. Jailer, saying that both the jailer and his prisoner are victims and slaves as theirs lives are restricted to the prison. She then sings in that epic song, “If you’re walking through the market place, don’t throw stones, even if you do you just might hit one of your own.” She was simply relaying through that song, that through this market of life, prejudice is not the right path to follow but rather advises “be good to your fellow man”. She adds further that “life is not about your policies all the time.” How true.

Prejudice destroyers potential. Potential ideas, friendships, relationships, partnerships and harmony. I once read that the greatest weakness of man is Doubt; that Self-doubt, doubt in faith and doubting others are attitudes that terminate possibilities. Whether that is true or not, we all know that doubt is what breeds prejudice and prejudice becomes an insidious destroyer when unchecked.

Job's comment was more of an attitude towards his situation. He was simply saying that no matter the situation, rich or poor, God deserves worship cos his plans are always for our good!

So, this passage encourages christians to give with all their heart. Our attitude to giving shd be like Job's - 'the lord has given and the lord has taken, praise be his name'. For it is God who gave us the wealth in d first place.

strange but very true.

Drink a Lot of Water
When you’re trying to stay awake waters the way to go. Dehydration can make you sleepy, so keeping your body hydrated will stave off those symptoms. If you are really sleepy, drink a lot of water to make sure you stay up. If you have to get up to go to the bathroom, it will definitely keep you awake! by water I don’t mean alcohol or coffee because it may contain water)

Take Breaks
Your brain is a complex thing but it still needs rest if you want to study hard for a long time as well as doing the best you can on your test. Schedule out your time so you can take a break try a study routine for 45 minutes, break for 15, and so forth. Set the alarm on your mobile so you don’t forget (or if you’re afraid you’ll fall asleep). Watch a TV show, talk to a friend, read a book, or listen to some music but nothing school related at all, even if it’s a TV show.

Exercise
Exercise can be a great way to wake yourself up take a short walk, dance to some music on your iPod (without waking up your roommates or your parents depending on where your living and the time), or head over to the gym for a little while. Taking a shower after a workout can wake you up even more (cold will wake you up but shocking the body’s never good so just a general shower). Don’t Study Somewhere Comfortable No curling up into a nice ball on your pillow with soft music playing the background will not help you stay awake, maybe heavy metal rock will but its better just to sit on a chair back straight lamp on and revise, no pillows, no comfortableness, when your body wants to sleep yet you have to fight it comfort ability should be what your actively seeking to stop.

Eat a Snack
Get your blood sugar up by eating a healthy snack (junk food will just give you a burst of energy but then you’ll crash and collapse for 7 hours, wake up and realise you didn’t do any revision). Apples are always a good food to help you keep your blood sugar stable so you can stay awake (a lot of people say they will wake you up better than caffeine and hey its also one of your 5-a-day)   

http://www.studentsatuni.co.uk/Students_should_know/Tips_to_stay_awake.shtml

1 Do your work. Plenty of times, you get sidetracked. Avoid this by setting a constant pace for yourself: 50 minutes of work, and a 10 minute break. Besides, keeping your mind occupied will make it easier to stay awake.

2 Avoid caffeine, if possible. See warnings for reasons why. Drink two brimming glasses of ice cold water every 30 minutes. Not only will the cold keep you awake, but you’ll need to urinate very often. It’s difficult to sleep on the toilet.

3 Play (softly, if you have a roommate) hardcore metal music. You may enjoy it, but it must be, at all costs, harsh and a bit arrhythmic. Try to stick to instrumental music, which is less distracting. This will keep you from being lulled to sleep.

4 Work with windows open: cold air will keep you awake. Warm air knocks you out. If you find the cold air is effective in keeping you awake, you can even go to the bathroom and wash your face with cold water. Only wash your face if you are getting tired, you don’t want to waste studying time.

5 Set your computer screen to a lower setting, (duller and darker) so as not to strain your eyes. See warnings for why not to.

6 Turn off instant messengers, your cellphone, the TV, and do not surf the Internet, edit wikiHow, read, draw, etc. In fact, pinch yourself if you do. This can distract you very easily.

7 Do not work in bed, on a couch, or on the floor. If you work in any other place than a cold, hard table and chair, you will feel very tempted to sleep. If possible, work somewhere far away from your room/bed, so it’s a pain to go back and sleep. Try to be around some other people, too, so you do not feel comfortable sleeping in your chair.

8 Set a timer, if you’re going to nap. Don’t nap for more than 20 minutes, and stay half-awake. Avoid napping at all costs, though. “Just 20 minutes of relaxation” will more likely involve you waking up past your class the next day.

9 Rotate subjects every hour, if applicable. You’ll quickly mentally wear out on one topic.

10 Work through it all. If you have time at the end, pack up your stuff, lay out your clothes, then set your alarm as late as possible, to achieve the most possible sleep.

11 Try sitting in different places around the room.

Remember: if you are tired and are completely slumping over your work, sit up straight. It could immediately make you feel more awake. Yes, it sounds stupid, but try it.

Eat protein-rich foods like sandwiches, cheese, and other dairy products. Sugary foods may make you feel awake for a little while, but can eventually make you feel drowsy. Apples or apple juice also help, especially if you eat cheese with it. Apples keep your blood sugar stable so you’re able to stay awake longer, some say they’re better than caffeine!

Think positively. Thoughts such as: “I am almost done,” “This is actually not too bad,” “I will get to see the sunrise,” “I will get a good grade” can definitely help.

Get scared. Sure, it sounds silly, but do it. Watch a horror movie or read something frightening. You’ll be too scared to fall asleep. Do not do this if there is work to be finished, though!

Tap your feet! It may seem weird, but it helps for some people to consistently tap their feet. If it becomes a habit, it might just save you from falling asleep at those final dire moments.

Chew gum. Like tapping your feet, it keeps you awake without being distracting!

Squeeze and Massage your Ears There are acupoints on your ears, and when stimulated, send electrical signals into your brain. You’ll feel buzzed immediately.

Don’t eat granola, milk or lemons. These are all foods that will make you tired and sleepy.

Always have the light on. Its hard to stay awake when your in a nice dark room.
