A country's commitment to the welfare of its people can be seen in how it protects its most vulnerable citizens. Among them are children who depend entirely on adults and the healthcare system for their survival. When a child falls ill, the family looks to health workers for help, hospitals for treatment, and the government for a system that makes quality healthcare accessible and affordable.

Unfortunately, for many Nigerian families, accessing healthcare remains a difficult experience. The cost of treatment, shortages of essential medicines, inadequate health facilities, and limited access to qualified medical personnel can turn a treatable illness into a life-threatening emergency.

Behind these challenges lies a problem that deserves greater attention: Nigeria cannot provide reliable healthcare without investing adequately in its health system and protecting the welfare of the people who keep it running.

Doctors, nurses, midwives, laboratory scientists, pharmacists, community health workers, and other healthcare professionals are essential to the survival and well-being of millions of Nigerians. Yet, when these professionals work under difficult conditions, face delayed payments, lack essential equipment, or struggle with excessive workloads, the quality and continuity of care can suffer.

This is why healthcare investment must go beyond constructing hospitals and purchasing medical equipment. It must also include the people who diagnose illnesses, administer treatment, care for newborns, support mothers during childbirth, and help children recover from disease.

Nigeria must recognise that investing in healthcare and prioritising the welfare of health workers are not separate responsibilities. They are two sides of the same commitment to protecting human life.

Why Nigeria Must Invest More in Healthcare

Healthcare is not merely a government service. It is a foundation for human development, economic productivity, and national progress.

When citizens have access to quality healthcare, they are better able to work, learn, raise families, and contribute to society. When healthcare is inaccessible or unaffordable, the consequences extend beyond hospitals. Families lose income, children miss school, communities experience preventable suffering, and the country loses valuable human potential.

For children, the consequences can be particularly serious. Illnesses that can be prevented, diagnosed early, or treated effectively may become fatal when healthcare is delayed or unavailable.

According to UNICEF's 2024 estimate, Nigeria recorded an under-five mortality rate of 115.6 deaths per 1,000 live births. Although this represents progress compared with previous decades, it remains a serious public health challenge. Every preventable child death represents not only a family tragedy but also a reminder of the work required to strengthen the healthcare system.

The government must therefore treat healthcare investment as a long-term national priority rather than an expenditure that competes unsuccessfully with other demands.

1. Adequate Funding Is Essential for Better Healthcare

One of the fundamental challenges facing Nigeria's healthcare system is inadequate and inconsistent funding.

The WHO-supported Africa Health Observatory Platform reports that public health spending remains below 5% of the total government budget, significantly below the 15% commitment associated with the 2001 Abuja Declaration. The same health-system assessment highlights the country's heavy reliance on direct payments by households to finance medical care.

These figures raise important questions about how Nigeria intends to provide accessible healthcare to a large and growing population without sufficient and dependable public investment.

Old Garage Community Witnesses Heartwarming Outreach on Christmas Day

The Ọláwálé Oyinladé Foundation for Education & Child Development today successfully concluded its annual Christmas outreach, delivering food, gifts, cash support, and festive cheer to more than 100 vulnerable children, widows, and elderly persons in the Old Garage area of Akure, Ondo State.

Held on December 25, 2025, the event saw volunteers distribute nourishing meals (rice and chicken), wrapped gifts, school supplies, and cash envelopes to beneficiaries, many of whom expressed profound gratitude for the timely intervention during the holiday season.

“This Christmas, we chose to celebrate the birth of hope by sharing it with those who need it most,” said Ọláwálé David Oyinlade, Founder and Executive Director of the Foundation. “The smiles on the faces of these children and elders remind us why we exist – to ensure no one is forgotten, especially during times of celebration.”

The outreach was made possible through the generous contributions of individual donors and the tireless efforts of the Foundation’s volunteer team, including Adekunle Elizabeth, Areola Deborah, Oluwasina Bukunmi, Ogunjemite Ayodele, Adekunle Blessing, and Olawale David Oyinlade.

Beneficiaries described the event as a “miracle,” with many widows and elderly attendees offering prayers of blessing for the Foundation and its supporters.

The Christmas outreach forms part of the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to child development, youth empowerment, and community welfare. In 2026, the organisation will expand its impact with the launch of Oyinlade Virtue Academy, an affordable primary school focused on joyful, quality education.

The Ọláwálé Oyinladé Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to all donors, volunteers, and partners who made this day possible.

A 25year old Ekiti State University Student, Olawale David Oyinlade Popularly known as Governor Cray in EKSU Cries Over Nigerian Situation, he then announced on his facebook page that if no youth is ready to take over, that he's ready.
He said he is really heart broken, due to the fact that living in Nigeria has become like living an unending episode of a series of unfortunate events.
According to the freelance journalist, he wants lasting solutions to the numerous problems the country faces at the moment.
He Said
“Well I’m tired, I’m done pretending. How do you tell a homeless person not to wash his dirty linen in public, when clearly he lives in public view? Living in Nigeria has become like living an unending episode of a series of unfortunate events, we can’t seem to catch a break. The leaders constantly tell us that we are the leaders of tomorrow, yet 80 & above still cling to power like its their oxygen tank,”
he lamented on his Facebook and Instagram
He continued:
“since I was born, I have never experienced steady power supply in my country. It is important to note I turned 20+ in April.”
The activist also added an arm of the police called FSARS, harasses, bullies and extorts innocent and harmless citizens.
“Herdsmen go into a community killing everyone including harmless women and children and the government of the day won’t declare a state of emergency or move a muscle.
“We just lost innocent lives as a result of a tanker explosion on Otedola bridge, they still won’t do anything to change traffic and motoring safety.
despite my prayers for the leaders, the prayers of Nigerian lovers, INEC would not count our prayer points. I’ve been praying all my life and nothing has changed.
I want to give Heaven a break. This is a call to action, we need to get our PVC & end this before it ends us.”….
He hereby urged the Nigerian Youth that are capable of leading to contest, already PMB signed the NotTooYoungToRun Bill.
He added
“After posting a graphics design of my self contesting for president in this 2019, with the reaction i saw i believe we can do it.”

During a two-year period when
his family lived in Boston, he fell behind in his studies. By
the time he returned to elementary school in Detroit, he
was, according to his profile on the American Academy of
Achievement website, "considered the 'dummy' of the
class." It was a position for which he "had no competition,"
he related in his book Gifted Hands.
After Carson brought home a report card of failing grades,
his mother quickly limited her sons' television viewing and
required them to read two books a week. The boys then
had to give written reports to their mother on what they
read. While other children were outside playing, Sonya
Carson forced her boys to stay inside and read, an act for
which her friends criticized her, saying that her sons would
grow up to hate her. Carson later realized that because of
her own limited education, his mother often could not read
her sons' reports, and was moved by her efforts to
motivate them to a better life.
Before long, Carson moved from the bottom of the class to
the top. However, there was resentment from his
classmates at the predominantly white school. After
awarding Carson a certificate of achievement at the end of
his freshman year, a teacher berated his white classmates
for letting an African-American student outshine them
academically. In his high school years and later, Carson
faced racism in a number of situations, but as he said in his
1996 interview with the American Academy of Achievement,
"It's something that I haven't invested a great deal of
energy in. My mother used to say, 'If you walk into an
auditorium full of racist, bigoted people … you don't have a
problem, they have a problem."'
Despite his academic improvement, Carson still had a
violent temper. In his interview with the American Academy
of Achievement, he recalled trying to hit his mother over
the head with a hammer because of a disagreement over
what clothes he should wear.

A sales invoice in financial accounting is a tool that a company uses to communicate to clients about the sums that are due in exchange for goods that have been sold. A sales invoice should include information about which items the customer has purchased, the quantities he has bought, discounts he has received, and the total amount he owes. In addition, a sales invoice should contain a brief summary of the terms of the transaction, such as the acceptable lag time between the sale and the payment.



<b>A sales invoice can be computerized or handwritten.


</b>•Sales Invoices and Ledgers

<em>A sales invoice represents revenue that your company has earned. Using the accrual method of accounting, which treats a sale as income even before you have actually been paid for it, a sales invoice is an item to be entered in the revenue section of your ledger. Your total business earnings is a figure that includes the total amount of all of your sales
invoices for a given period, as well as any additional income that your company has earned, such as from sale or rental of business property. Sales Invoices and Accounts Receivable Your financial accounting should also include a system for keeping track of which sales invoices have been paid by your clients, and which transactions represent revenue that still needs to be collected. Accounts receivable is the accounting term that describes sales or transactions that your business has made for which payment is still due. Keeping track of accounts receivable enables you to efficiently bill delinquent customers, and also provides information about whether cash flow shortfalls stem from low sales volume or customers who are slow to pay.

How to Develop a Curriculum

The word curriculum generally refers to a series of courses
that help learners achieve specific academic or occupational
goals. A curriculum often consists of general learning
objectives and a list of courses and resources. Some
curricula are more like lesson plans, containing detailed
information about how to teach a course, complete with
discussion questions and specific activities for learners. Here
are some strategies for developing a curriculum.

•Define the objective of the curriculum.»
The goal may be to help adults prepare for the General Education Development (GED) exam. In a university program, the main objective might be to provide specific skills or knowledge necessary for completion of a degree. Being specific about the curriculum objective will assist with its development.

•Choose an appropriate title. »
Depending on the learning objective, titling the curriculum may be a
straightforward process or one that requires greater thought. A curriculum for GED students can be called "GED Preparation Curriculum." A program designed to assist adolescents with eating disorders might require a carefully thought-out title that is attractive to teenagers and sensitive to their needs.

•Create a scope and sequence. »
This is an outline of key skills and information that students need to
achieve the main curriculum objective. For a bachelor's degree curriculum, the scope and sequence might be a list of courses that a student must complete. The outline for a software training curriculum might be a more detailed list of software operations, such as creating new records, saving information, deleting records and merging files.

•Determine the teaching approach. »
Depending on the topic and objective, information might best be conveyed in a lecture format. In other cases, providing written materials, holding discussion sessions and offering
hands-on practice might be the most appropriate teaching
methods. National or regional development limitations
and available teaching staff and graduate fields of
opportunities are considered.
*Include discussion questions. In a curriculum that serves more as a script for teachers, detailed discussion questions provide greater direction. In a human rights curriculum, for example, students might be asked to share their understanding of what constitutes fundamental human rights.
*Allow room for flexibility to meet learners' needs. Curriculum development must prioritize the needs of learners. Sometimes needs are indiscernible until a teacher has worked closely with a group of students across a period of time. In some cases, it is better to provide general directions and allow teachers to fill in the details and revise the curriculum as needed.

•Build in an assessment component. »
Determining how to assess the knowledge of learners is dependent on the main curriculum objective. If students are preparing for a standardized exam, implementing practice tests is an effective way to simultaneously prepare students for the testing process and identify weaker skills and knowledge areas. If the learning objective is enrichment or life skills development, assessments may be more informal, consisting of class discussions, essays or one-on-one meetings.

•Establish a system of curriculum evaluation. »
When preparing learners for exams, gathering statistics of passing rates is helpful for gauging overall effectiveness. In more subjective subjects, such as the arts or personal development, observe patterns of student attendance and participation. Special attention to participant engagement and empowerment also can reveal curriculum efficacy.

Ọláwálé David Oyinladé is a Nigerian educationist, strategic education consultant, media entrepreneur, writer and youth development advocate whose work focuses on improving access to education, promoting digital literacy, strengthening communication and creating opportunities for young people.

With a multidisciplinary background in English Education and Mass Communication, Oyinladé has developed professional interests spanning education policy, curriculum development, educational technology, strategic communication, digital media and social development. His work reflects a belief that education should go beyond classroom instruction to equip individuals with the knowledge, practical skills and confidence needed to navigate an increasingly digital world.

As the Founder of Oyinlade Virtue Academy, he is involved in developing accessible learning opportunities through online tutoring, digital skills training, professional development and educational consultancy. The academy seeks to bridge gaps between traditional education and emerging workplace demands by integrating technology, communication, entrepreneurship and practical learning into its programmes.

Through the academy, Oyinladé has contributed to educational initiatives involving more than 126 learners, with activities covering academic support, curriculum development, communication skills and digital learning. His broader educational interests include artificial intelligence in teaching and learning, innovative instructional approaches, lifelong learning and the use of technology to expand educational opportunities.

Beyond education, Oyinladé is the Founder and Executive Director of CrayTV, a digital media initiative established in April 2023. The platform focuses on research, advocacy, youth leadership and public-interest communication. Through this initiative, he seeks to encourage informed public discussions, responsible journalism, civic awareness and constructive engagement with issues affecting Nigerian society.

His involvement in community development dates back to 2017, when he established Change & Resolute All Youths (CRAY), an initiative focused on youth empowerment, advocacy and positive social change. The initiative subsequently evolved into the Olawale Oyinlade Foundation for Education and Child Development, reflecting a broader commitment to educational access, child development and sustainable community impact.

The foundation promotes the idea that meaningful social progress begins with investing in people, particularly children and young adults who face barriers to education and personal development. Its areas of interest include educational support, youth empowerment, child welfare, advocacy and community-based development.

Oyinladé's professional journey also includes experience in school management, educational administration, teaching and institutional development. He has worked in learning environments where his responsibilities involved supporting academic activities, coordinating educational programmes and contributing to school operations.

As a writer and communication enthusiast, he maintains an interest in public policy, governance, human rights, social justice and national development. His writing explores issues affecting society, including educational inequality, women's rights, youth participation, accountability and the relationship between public policy and everyday life.

His academic and professional interests increasingly intersect with emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, digital learning systems and the changing nature of communication in developing economies. He is interested in how educational institutions, media organisations and young professionals can adapt to technological change while maintaining relevance, ethical standards and social responsibility.

Oyinladé also advocates a more practical approach to education, one that recognises the importance of employability, entrepreneurship, creativity, communication and continuous professional development. He believes that educational systems must respond to changing economic realities and prepare learners not only to obtain qualifications but also to solve problems and create value within their communities.

Across his educational, media and social development activities, a common theme is his commitment to connecting knowledge with practical impact. Rather than viewing education, technology, communication and advocacy as separate fields, he approaches them as complementary tools for individual empowerment and societal development.

His long-term professional vision includes expanding access to quality learning, strengthening digital education initiatives, supporting evidence-informed educational policies and developing sustainable programmes that improve opportunities for young people, particularly within African communities.

Through Oyinlade Virtue Academy, CrayTV and the Olawale Oyinlade Foundation for Education and Child Development, Ọláwálé David Oyinladé continues to pursue initiatives centred on education, innovation, responsible communication and social impact.

His professional interests reflect a broader ambition to contribute to an African society in which education is accessible, technology creates opportunities, young people are empowered to lead and institutions are encouraged to serve their communities more effectively.

Introduction

The Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa, popularly known as the Maputo Protocol, represents an important milestone in the struggle for women’s rights across Africa. It recognises the need to protect women from discrimination, uphold their dignity, and ensure that they enjoy equal opportunities to participate in the social, political, and economic development of their societies.

The Protocol is particularly significant because it recognises the realities facing African women while building on existing international human rights standards. It acknowledges that women are not merely beneficiaries of development but active participants whose contributions are essential to the progress of their communities and nations.

For Nigerian women, the Protocol offers a framework for a society in which discrimination, violence, harmful cultural practices, and unequal access to opportunities are no longer accepted as normal. Yet, despite these promises, the everyday experiences of many women suggest that there is still a considerable gap between the rights recognised on paper and the realities they face.

One cannot help but wonder what becomes of international commitments when the institutions responsible for implementing them fail to deliver the change they promise.

This article examines the major provisions of the Maputo Protocol, considers the challenges confronting women’s rights in Nigeria, and asks three important questions: How far has the Protocol improved the position of women in Nigeria? What measures are needed to strengthen its implementation? And what gaps must be addressed if its promises are to become a reality?

Understanding the Maputo Protocol

The African Union adopted the Protocol on 11 July 2003 to strengthen the protection and promotion of women’s rights across the continent. Its foundation rests on the principles of equality, dignity, non-discrimination, and the recognition of women as equal partners in development.

The Protocol draws on the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, particularly its provisions on equality and freedom from discrimination. It also reflects the African Union’s broader commitment to gender equality and the full participation of women in the development of African societies.

Among its most important provisions are the rights to dignity, life, personal security, education, health, adequate housing, food security, and participation in political and decision-making processes. It also addresses women’s rights within marriage, during separation and divorce, and in matters concerning property and inheritance.

Furthermore, the Protocol calls for protection against harmful practices, including female genital mutilation, forced marriage, and other practices that threaten women’s health, dignity, and fundamental freedoms. It recognises the need for special protection for elderly women, women with disabilities, and women in distress.

These provisions demonstrate that women’s rights extend beyond protection from physical violence. They also include the opportunity to receive an education, earn a living, participate in public life, access healthcare, own property, and live without fear of discrimination.

However, recognising these rights is only the beginning. Their value ultimately depends on whether governments and institutions take practical steps to protect them.

What Is Expected of the Nigerian Government?

The Maputo Protocol places significant responsibilities on governments to ensure that women can exercise their rights in practice.

These responsibilities include adopting appropriate laws, preventing and punishing violence against women, eliminating discriminatory practices, and ensuring equal opportunities in employment and career advancement. Governments are also expected to promote women’s participation in politics, integrate gender considerations into public policy, provide effective remedies for violations, and allocate adequate resources to programmes that advance women’s rights.

Education and public awareness are equally important. Discriminatory attitudes are often sustained by social expectations and cultural practices that have been passed down through generations. Addressing these attitudes requires sustained public education, responsible communication, and a willingness to challenge practices that undermine women’s dignity.

Nigeria has taken steps over the years to address some of these challenges. Initiatives have included the development of gender policies, programmes to encourage girls’ education, the establishment of institutions addressing human trafficking, and policies relating to reproductive health and other aspects of women’s welfare.

These efforts deserve recognition. Nevertheless, the existence of policies and institutions does not automatically translate into improved living conditions for women. The real test is whether these measures are adequately funded, effectively implemented, and accessible to those who need them most.

A government’s commitment to women’s rights should therefore be measured not only by the agreements it signs or the policies it announces, but also by the changes people experience in their daily lives.

The Reality of Women’s Rights in Nigeria

Despite the progress made in recognising women’s rights, significant challenges remain. Economic inequality, limited educational opportunities, inadequate healthcare, harmful traditional practices, gender-based violence, and underrepresentation in political leadership continue to affect women in different parts of the country.

These problems do not exist in isolation. They are often connected, with poverty making it harder for women to obtain an education, access justice, leave abusive relationships, or secure decent employment.

1. Economic and Social Welfare Rights

Economic independence is an important part of personal dignity and freedom. Yet many women in Nigeria continue to experience discrimination in the workplace and face barriers to securing stable, fairly paid employment.

Women are widely represented in agriculture, petty trading, domestic work, and other informal economic activities, where access to social protection, pensions, paid leave, and other employment benefits may be limited.

The situation is particularly difficult for women who combine paid work with unpaid responsibilities at home. Caring for children, supporting elderly relatives, preparing meals, and managing household affairs are essential contributions to family and national development. Nevertheless, such work often receives little recognition and no direct financial compensation.

Maternity protection is another important concern. Women should not have to choose between recovering after childbirth, caring for their babies, and retaining their jobs. Where maternity benefits are inadequate or poorly implemented, working mothers can face unnecessary financial and professional difficulties.

Although some employers provide reasonable protection, others do not. This uneven experience highlights the need for effective enforcement of labour protections, fair recruitment and promotion practices, and policies that enable women to participate fully in economic life.

2. Health and Reproductive Rights

Access to healthcare is fundamental to women’s dignity and well-being. Yet maternal health remains a major concern in Nigeria, particularly for women who cannot afford medical services or live far from adequately equipped health facilities.

Preventable maternal deaths, inadequate access to skilled birth attendants, poor healthcare infrastructure, and financial barriers continue to expose women to serious risks.

Gender-based violence also has lasting consequences for women’s physical and psychological health. Survivors may experience injuries, unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, emotional trauma, and other complications.

Protecting women’s reproductive rights therefore requires more than making healthcare policies. It demands accessible health facilities, trained medical personnel, affordable services, accurate health information, and respectful treatment of women seeking care.

The government must also strengthen systems that prevent gender-based violence and ensure that survivors can obtain medical attention, counselling, and legal assistance without unnecessary obstacles.......

"Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you." --
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We've all made mistakes throughout our lives that haven't
exactly put us in the best light--like bullying someone in
school or telling what seemed like a little white lie. Chances
are, however, you probably felt a little guilt and grew
because of the situation.
I'm an average guy trying to become better in both my work
and home life. I'll never be perfect, but it doesn't mean I
won't try.
If you want to continue to grow as a person, here are 15
ways to make the most of yourself.
1. Compliment Yourself
Every morning before you go on with your daily routine,
take a couple of minutes to give yourself a compliment.
Whether you compliment your outfit, haircut, or how you
recently completed a task using your unique skill sets, giving
yourself a little emotional boost will make you happy. And,
when you're happy with yourself, that emotion can be
contagious to those around you. Inspirational speaker Tony
Robbins has a mantra he says aloud to himself most days to
put him in a peak performance state.
2. Don't Make Excuses
Blaming your spouse, boss, or clients is fruitless and won't
get you very far. Instead of pointing fingers and making
excuses about why you aren't happy or successful in your
personal or professional life, own your mistakes and learn
from them. When you do this, you will become a better
person. When I personally started living up to my mistakes
and downfalls, my life turned itself around. I became
happier and healthier, and my relationship with my wife
improved. We are happier than ever.
3. Let Go of Anger
Letting go of anger is easier said than done. While anger is a
perfectly normal emotion, you can't let it fester. When this
happens, you may make unwise decisions, and more
important, it may affect your health. Research suggests pent
up anger can cause digestive problems, difficulty sleeping,
and even heart disease.
To help you let go of anger, Roya R. Rad, MA, PsyD, suggests
you write your feelings down, pray or meditate, or begin to
manage your thoughts.
4. Practice Forgiveness
Joyce Marter, LCPC, suggests you forgive and let go of
resentment. She notes, "If for no other reason than for
yourself, forgive to untether yourself from the negative
experiences of the past. Take time to meditate, and give
thanks for the wisdom and knowledge gained from your
suffering. Practice the mantra, 'I forgive you and I release
you.'"
5. Be Honest and Direct
How would you feel if a loved one or business partner lied
to you? Chances are you would see that as a violation of
your trust. If you want to be a better person in either your
personal or professional life, you should always tell the
truth and state as clearly as possible what you are trying to
convey. Learn to articulate your thoughts, feelings, and ideas
in an open and honest manner.
6. Be Helpful
Whether giving up your seat to an elderly person on the
subway, assisting a co-worker on a project, or carrying in the
groceries when your spouse comes back from the store,
being helpful is one of the easiest and most effective ways to
practice becoming a better person. I find that the more I
help others, the better I feel about myself and everyone
around me.
7. Listen to Others
As Jeet Banerjee notes on Lifehack, "listening to people and
giving everyone a voice is one of the greatest things you can
do." He adds that he "got to meet some of the most amazing
people, close some of the biggest deals, and develop
connections that will last me a lifetime all because I took
time to listen to people. Being a good listener can change
your life in a positive manner."
8. Act Locally
It may not seem like a big deal, but supporting a local cause,
donating clothes, or buying from local farmers' markets or
businesses are simple ways you can help your specific
region. You may not be able to save the world, but you very
well could make a difference in your neck of the woods. Get
to know and care about your community.
9. Always Be Polite
How much effort does it take to say, "Thank you," or to hold
the elevator door open for someone? Not much at all.
However, these acts of kindness can make someone's day. I
decided a few years ago that it doesn't matter if someone is
ultra rude, condescending, or worse. The way someone else
behaves is not going to determine my behavior.
10. Be Yourself
Tiffany Mason has five excellent reasons on Lifehack why
you should be yourself. These include being able to align
yourself with your values and beliefs, establish your identity,
build courage, create boundaries, and find focus and
direction.
11. Be Open to Change
Whether trying a new restaurant, traveling to an unknown
part of the world, or doing something that has always scared
you, you should always be open to change. This allows you
to grow because you experience something new. It helps
you be high functioning and self-confident if you are not
wary of change.
12. Be Respectful
How would you feel if you had just cleaned your home and
someone came in and tracked mud everywhere? You'd
probably be a little ticked that they hadn't taken off their
shoes. Take this mentality and apply it to everyday life. For
example, don't toss your trash or cigarette butts on the floor
of public restrooms or sidewalks just because someone else
will clean it up. Be respectful of others' time, thoughts,
ideas, lifestyles, feelings, work, and everything else. You
don't have to agree with any of it, but people have a right to
their opinions and yours is not necessarily correct.
13. Don't Show Up Empty-handed
Going to a party this weekend at your friend's apartment?
Make sure you don't arrive empty-handed. Even if you've
been assured that there will be plenty of food and drink,
bring along a little something to show you appreciate being
invited.
14. Educate Yourself
If you don't understand why one country is invading
another, take the time to educate yourself on the current
event. Ask a person intimately connected with the event for
his or her thoughts. Remember, we're all interconnected,
and being aware of different cultures, different people, and
what their lives are like can make you a more well-rounded
individual. This will also help you understand points of
view different from your own.
15. Surprise People
How good does it feel to make someone smile? It feels
pretty good, right? Surprise your loved ones or co-workers
now and then, with a gift, a night out on the town, or by
offering help when you know they could use it.
Becoming a better person doesn't happen overnight, but it is
possible. Believe in yourself and know that it is possible!
