Family / Self Development by MattChidi(m): 9:20am On May 27, 2016 |
!!! The Cockroach Theory For Self Development !!! At a restaurant, a cockroach. suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady.She started screaming out of fear.With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky. The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but...it landed on another lady in the group. Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter. The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant. Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behavior? If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed? He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos. It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach, that disturbed the ladies. I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but it's my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me. It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me. More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life. Lessons learnt from the story: I understood, I should not react in life. I should always respond. The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded. Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of. A beautiful way to understand............LIFE. Person who is HAPPY is not because Everything is RIGHT in his Life.. He is HAPPY because his Attitude towards Everything in his Life is Right!! |

Education / Do Good by MattChidi(m): 12:55pm On May 08, 2016 |
In 1892 at Stanford University, an
18-year-old student was
struggling to pay his fees. He was
an orphan, and not knowing where
to turn for money, he came up with
a bright idea. He and a friend
decided to host a musical concert
on campus to raise money for their
education.
They reached out to the great
pianist Ignacy J. Paderewski. His
manager demanded a guaranteed
fee of $2000 for the piano recital.
A deal was struck and the boys
began to work to make the concert
a success.The big day arrived. But
unfortunately, they had not
managed to sell enough tickets.
The total collection was only
$1600. Disappointed, they went to
Paderewski and explained their
plight. They gave him the entire
$1600, plus a cheque for the
balance $400. They promised to
honour the cheque at the soonest
possible.
“No,” said Paderewski. “This is not
acceptable.” He tore up the
cheque, returned the $1600 and
told the two boys: “Here’s the
$1600. Please deduct whatever
expenses you have incurred. Keep
the money you need for your fees.
And just give me whatever is left”.
The boys were surprised, and
thanked him profusely.It was a
small act of kindness. But it
clearly marked out Paderewski as
a great human being.Why should
he help two people he did not even
know? We all come across
situations like these in our lives.
And most of us only think “If I help
them, what would happen to me?”
The truly great people think, “If I
don’t help them, what will happen
to them?” They don’t do it
expecting something in return.
They do it because they feel it’s
the right thing to do.
Paderewski later went on to
become the Prime Minister of
Poland. He was a great leader, but
unfortunately when the World War
began, Poland was ravaged. There
were more than 1.5 million people
starving in his country, and no
money to feed them. Paderewski
did not know where to turn for
help. He reached out to the US
Food and Relief Administration for
help.He heard there was a man
called Herbert Hoover — who later
went on to become the US
President. Hoover agreed to help
and quickly shipped tons of food
grains to feed the starving Polish
people.A calamity was averted.
Paderewski was relieved.
He decided to go across to meet
Hoover and personally thank him.
When Paderewski began to thank
Hoover for his noble gesture,
Hoover quickly interjected and
said, “You shouldn’t be thanking
me Mr. Prime Minister. You may
not remember this, but several
years ago, you helped two young
students go through college. I was
one of them.”
The world is a wonderful place.
What goes around comes around.
Please help others to the best of
your ability. In the long run you
may be helping yourself. God never
forgets anyone who sows a good
seed in other people, never.
Nothing in nature lives for itself.
Rivers don't drink their own water.
Trees don't eat their own fruit. Sun
doesn't give heat for itself. Flowers
don't spread fragrance for
themselves. Living for others is the
rule of nature. And therein lies the
secret of living..... |

Romance / Re: Dating A Broke Guy (my Experience): Is It Worth It? by MattChidi(m): 7:39pm On Apr 26, 2016 |
Do you know that most Nigerian ladies are into relationship not because of love but simply monetary gains. If no money then love won't make any sense that's their perspective. From the post, the writer never mentioned where she works or what she does for a living, instead she kept on reeling out how broke her guy is. My dear stop living the life of dependency. No man likes liability...when he sees how zealous and supportive you are, he will definitely place the world at your feet, all you need do, Is be patient and do your own thing while waiting. Everyone desire the good life but it comes with a price. 2 Likes |

Its only a woman with no vision will think like this. I bet you'd like to be seen as a liability to a man who married you since you brought nothing to the table. You need an already made man please also be ready for its consequences, don't. come and lament here that you're not happy in your marriage despite your fat account. Life is a gradual process, from low to high...if you think a man shouldn't think of a woman when he's working to make ends meet how do you expect him to consider you when he has made it. 1 Like |

Family / Who Is Your Friend? by MattChidi(m): 6:59pm On Feb 26, 2016 |
The preacher man advised that
there are two kinds of friends we
need to cut out completely from
our lives;
1. Negative people; people who
see problems, difficulties,
impossibilities and failure in
everything.
2. Lazy people who
hide under religion and expect God
to do everything for them.
I would love to add mine:
3. The 'Yes-Yes' kinda friends.
Friends who don't challenge you or
think of bringing out the best in
you. Friends who accepts
everything you say and don't
critique any. Such friends will only
make you live a life of a mediocre,
an average, a life below what you
ought to be.

Religion / What's Love? by MattChidi(m): 11:02am On Feb 14, 2016 |
Love entails that you should make
a decision to seek the ultimate
good for another person or all the
people around you.
Love is a choice.
'' Love is patient, love is kind. It
does not envy, it does not boast, it
is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no
record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.''-1 Cor 13:4-8
If the love you profess does not
posses these qualities, my dear,
you need to make a decision and
start loving truly, for love is a
beautiful thing.
May your heart be filled with love.
Happy St. Valentine's Day my dear
friends.

Family / Times Are Hard...a Piece Of Advice by MattChidi(m): 4:28am On Jan 19, 2016 |
LITTLE PIECE OF ADVICE: By now, it should be clear to all of us that this year will be a difficult one and to survive it, you just have to start planning from Day 1. Be prepared to let go of some things and spend only when absolutely necessary. If you have saved money, try not to touch it quickly. Avoid capital projects in the next few months until you are certain of replenishing your bank accounts. Avoid social travels that bring no added income. If attending a burial, wedding, naming ceremony, marriage anniversary will eat into your savings, avoid them. You would be called names, accept the name calling but understand that these same people will call you worse names if you have to borrow from them to feed your family. Reduce your responsibilities. Your first duty is to your family. If you don't provide for them, others will rarely do so. Talk to your friends who are working not to bother asking you for favours. Many of them wear Armani shoes and will ask you for extra money to maintain their lavish lifestyles. Avoid those who ask you in advance what you are going to get for them on their birthdays or Valentine day. They tell you things are hard but refuse to agree that things are hard for you too. If your friends on social media send you a private message complaining about hardship and asking you for help, tell them if you start helping everyone on social media who has asked you for help, you will end up begging for help too. Cut your pants according to your size. If you think that staying in Lekki will take more than half of your savings, move to Otta. The downfall of a man is not the end of his life. Help your friends to start cutting costs by cutting costs yourself. Don't spend thousands to celebrate your birthday because you will be putting pressure on them to celebrate theirs. If they call and ask how your birthday is going to be, tell them "Ground no level". Tell them you hope things will improve next year. Do not be pushed into unnecessary spending for any reason. Even if you have the money to spend, spend on things that can uplift your life and the life of others. People have spent millions on their wedding, only to live unhappily thereafter. People have spent millions on their birthdays, only to be forgotten a few months after. Most importantly, understand that happiness does not come from vanity. They hail you as Abuja Big Boy, Lagos Big Girl, London Big Girl, Yankee Big Boy or Europa! its just a state of mind. There are hundreds of people out there, unknown in your circles who are living a quiet life of bliss. Moreover, there is no Big Boy or Girl in the grave. Economic indices have indicated trying times ahead. CONCENTRATE YOUR ENERGY ON THINGS THAT CAN IMPROVE YOUR LIFE AND THE LIFE OF PERSONS CLOSE TO YOU. # Seriously reflect on the message and hope it makes a difference in our attitude to doing things in this difficult time. written by okoro Ruth 4 Likes |
