eph12: You should spend sometime with your kids too. It helps and motivates kids when their parents show interest in their education apart from spending huge sum of money on school fees and tutors.

That's true. Sometimes there are drawbacks. Parent involvement is extremely important.

Off the topic, which would you take:
A high paying job that gives you little time with your kids OR

A relatively averagely paying job that gives you ample time with the kids

majekdom2: how come some kids still pass in the same school? who says no child wants to fail ? some are not ready to learn. havent you heard of students that abscound from school ? you have got to study your kid properly to deal with the issue, not put the blame on someone. you can also try to teach him at ur leisure and see how it is teaching that particular kid of yours.

As long as you have your opinion of your child as a parent, the opinion of the teacher is still important. Asking questions on poor academic performance isn't equal to putting blames. If the cause of my child's failure in school is his truancy, as would be confirmed by the teacher, I know I have to step up the discipline.

I'm saying this because I had difficulty in passing exams in my junior secondary days. I always attended class, always read my notes, but the results will be different. My teachers will not hesitate to mention to my dad that I was a truant, not attentive in class and all the rubbish,- which was very false. I'm the one with the failure and whose father has "wasted" money, wetin I go talk?

My father then disciplined me in error, withdrawing all the care, love and all that. I was left in an island of my own. I had to pick up the pieces of my life and move on. I started studying majorly on my own, paid less attention to my teachers and more to teaching myself. I topped the class the next term. That was the secret. And I capitalized on it till I became the proverbial grass to grace student.

There is no where my dad would have spotted that when all he had is just a visiting day in a month to see his boy. When we have teachers that are with me 24-7. He sought the opinion of the teachers as to why his boy was doing badly in school. And whatever answer he got from that is responsible for where I am today.

Teachers should stop erroneously admitting that all children that fail exams are either dullards or truants. That's why they're teachers. They are trained to spot hidden abilities and deficits and not just to come and pour stuff on the board and go away.

TutorVISTA: Rather make up your mind on what you want, be different and forge you own path.

You've just answered my first question. Emphasis on the word "forge".

bongolistik: We have also seen it in parents even going to the extents of going to question their kids teacher in school on why their kids failed, knowing quite well that their kids are dullard.

I don't know about you. But if I bring out my hard-earned money to send my child to school, pay school fees, buy books and even pay for extra-coaching classes- and he still performs below expectation, I have to ask the teacher why my boy failed. Yes, I have to. Because when I get an explanation, I will address the problem from that angle.

Gone are the days when kids failed in school and carry all the blame. No chid likes to fail. Something must be wrong somewhere. And when kids spend almost all their day in school, who should be questioned??

Wanting the best for your children is love. One should be careful on how he/she goes about doing that. The accomlishment/error of that desire is in the "how".

Dominiquez: Sex is not a prove of love and its easier to sleep with someone you don't love than the person you love cos you don't care about what he/she thinks cos you just want to have fun.

Not everyone cares less.

What should be the most important motivation in choosing a career path? Considering one is young and has a lot of viable options which are potentially rewarding

One in a million....

Pretty doesn't make a good wife.

redgem: Thanks...will try and see if it works

Remember me?

Yu haven't moved on since then?

Lucky dude.

Yungwizzzy: Then congratulationyou just won a ticket for two to go watch Nigeria vs Brazil post worldcup match!!

I understand. It's definitely very difficult. Extremely difficult. When you're in that ecstatic moment where all that matters to you is the immediate gratification of sexual pleasure....it is very difficult.

But once you're resolute, and take steps to ensuring you have no excuse to be anything but resolute, 70% of the battle is won.

Yungwizzzy: And you used condoms all tru?

I did.
If there's anyone that understands the risks and disadvantages of unprotected sex, it has to be me. I'll rather go without having sex than to have unprotected intercourse with someone who isn't my wife. Besides, her being my wife is not a guarantee. What if she's getting outside unprotected? The things I don't want to think of.....

enigmagu1: S*x is all disavantage outside marriage....u may even end up fathering a childs that's not yours if u can't afford a DNA test and most importantly it take you far from GOD.

That's true.
All that is in the past.
I'm now in a committed relationship that will most likely lead to marriage.
She's a virgin and I'll want to keep her that way till we marry. Besides, she doesn't want pre-marital sex so...
Abstinence still remains the best. But in a society where people have different capacities for different choices, if you must have sex and she is not your wife, use a condom.

enigmagu1: Sometimes condoms maynt b cloesby and such girls will not even encourage it.

Well, when the moving picture of your life plays in your mind and you begin to see yourself beside a girl with a protruding tummy carrying your child, or you picture yourself as a patient in a hospital facility being managed for HIV, you'll devote yourself to always ensuring that you'll have condoms available - whether you have plans to use them or not.

At best, buy a carton and stash them somewhere. I have a carton in my cupboard and 4 foils on the window pane just above my pillow. And it is my job to make it clear to the girl that condoms must be used. I met a girl like that once, just before we got down, I reached to my bag to get my condoms, and she started asking me what I was doing. I told her I was getting my condoms. Then she entered the irritating phase where she said she loves it raw and doesn't like condoms.

My brother, na so my staff-of-honor shrivel back to flaccid size.

No condoms, no sex.

Yungwizzzy: And you've had sex straight two weeks nonstop?

Even more than that.
Where are we going with this?

enigmagu1: Lolz ...DNA cost frm 70 to 100k

Doesn't matter.
Better than fathering a child whose paternity status you can't ascertain.
Na today you sabi naija babes?
She probably don go dey with one bobo somewhere dey shine am, then come back with rubbish story.
Lots of people out there fathering children they weren't responsible for.
If N3000 was to expensive to buy a carton of condoms, 100k should come in handy for a DnA paternity test.

Yungwizzzy: Have you lived with your gf for say 4months together in the same hux before??

Yes?
What about it?

Condoms
Condoms
Condoms.

I can't say more.

It's not Revenge... It's giving Karma a helping hand.

Lesson for the guys:

When you like a girl, shoot for her from the onset. Don't do this best friend this, best friend that.

Also, if you choose to be friends with a girl, make sure you remain friends. Anything contrary to this puts you in a bad light. A disappointing light, if you ask me.

Tallesty1: Big brain, Good looking and Homely

Big brain.
Funny haha.

toby4ever: please wat good roll on cn one use to stop underarm sweating it quite embrassing sometimes.

Get Drysol.
Wash your underarms and dry with a clean towel at night. Don't use on a recently shaved underarm. Apply the Drysol as instructed and wash off the following morning using a toilet soap. Do this for 3 to 4 nights until you achieve desired results.
After this, maintain with once or twice a week schedule till you notice your miracle.

ebsuguy: So which should I start with and can u give me an estimate of their prices?

The only books I bought there are:

1) Norman Browse
2) Falase (big and small)

The rest were downloaded from the World Wide Web into a tablet. Depends on whether you are a hard copy or soft copy person.

Apart from the prices, most of them are not available in Nigeria. If you're good to go with soft copy, I'll guide you to where you can download all of them.

For HistoPathology, start with Pathology secrets. For Microbiology, get Clinical Microbiology made Ridiculously Simple(I forgot this one. Played a pivot role in my MCB successes). For Chemical Pathology, Primer would do. Hoffbrand would do for Hematology.

For Pharm, start with USMLE Pharm. if you graze your foundation with this one, I won't be surprised if you have a distinction in Pharm.

You need to know your signs and symptoms, this is where I recommend Alagappan instead of Hutchinson. It has a more tropical perspective.

Buy Norman Browse, it's gonna cover the lapses made by Alagappan.

You need a guide. I can give you course outlines in each of everything to start studying. Drop your mail.

Kslib: lomaxx, you can now comment!

It was the bot that caught you!

Thanks man.
