BecaciaBarbie:
Are you a Christian? If you are why would you support premarital sex not to talk more of getting pregnant before marriage. Any lady that falls for this getting pregnant first in this 21st century is nothing but a big fool! People change, promises are broken, things happen but then it would have been too late for you.

You either marry her because you love her and ready to go through the storm with her or you let her be. Do you guys think everyone got the thick skin to go for surgery? Many panick as they could lose their lives in the process, so it is not an easy decision and you need to understand her.


In the western world, I'm sure this wouldn't even be a problem, but I understand you as well. You should also note that, not all healthy women out there are able to conceive.
God bless you for this...

Car Talk › Re: Harmful Effects Of Improper Use Of Automotive Air Conditioning (Pics) by Mryacks: 6:23pm On Jan 11, 2019
NaijautoDotCom:
1. Hypoxia
The function of the air conditioning system in the car is to filter the air and to cool the entire interior of the cabin, which brings occupants a comfortable feeling, especially in the hot summer. However, if the car has to travel long distances, the air conditioning system will become "counterproductive" because the air in the cabin cannot be actually refreshed but only circulated through the A/C system with the windows remaining closed.
https://file.naijauto.com/2018/04/21/GzSDFYgt/dieu-hoa-o-to-banxeh-6403.jpg
If the car has to travel long distances, the air in the cabin cannot be actually refreshed but only circulated through the A/C system

In fact, automotive air conditioning systems are based on the principle of insulation. If the car runs continuously for many hours on a long travel, the air currents will only circulate inside the cabin and is almost completely isolated from the air outside, which makes the oxygen level in the cabin’s air get lower and lower along the trip. As a result, passengers can feel heavy and a little short of breath due to hypoxia.

According to experienced drivers, to solve this problem, passengers should occasionally open the car windows for short periods during long travels, so that the air inside the cabin can be refreshed and does not affect your own health.

2. Heat shock
It is a common habit of many car drivers in Nigeria to walk out in the sun then step right into the car and turn on the air conditioning immediately. This could lead to many harmful effects to your health because you can be susceptible to heat shocks due to a large and sudden difference between the inside and outside temperatures (a difference of about 5-10 degrees Celsius is enough to make you feel ill momentarily).

You can be susceptible to heat shocks due to a large and sudden difference between the inside and outside temperatures

For the same reason, it is also harmful to your health if you set the A/C temperature in your car really low, then walk straight out from the cabin to the hot environment outside. Although having a heat shock can only make you feel unwell for a short time, don’t underestimate its effects on your health, since constant exposure to heat shocks can lead to higher chances of catching a heart attack.

To avoid this problem, drivers and passengers can turn on the A/C a few minutes after you walk in the car and start the engine. Also, set the A/C temperature to closer to the outside temperature when you are close to the destination, so that you don’t catch a heat shock when you walk out.

3. Stale air
Experienced drivers suggest that you should not turn on the A/C immediately after getting in the cabin. The reason is not only to lower the chance to catch a heat shock in hot summer days, but also to spend some time to ventilate the stale air in the cabin first. This is especially important for cars that are not regularly used, because after a long idle time, the air in the passenger compartment hasn’t been ventilated and can become stale.
https://file.naijauto.com/2018/04/21/GzSDFYgt/hqdefault-copy-846a.jpg
The plastic-like stale air smell can be toxic

The foul smell of stale air is unpleasant and very obvious when you first come into the cabin, but when you get used to it for a while, you can easily forget about the smell and don’t mind to refresh the air in your car. In such circumstances, you and your passengers can be susceptible to several respiratory problems, and can even be intoxicated if your car’s A/C is malfunctioning and releases toxic gases.
You can find a clearer explanation for this in this article:[url] https://naijauto.com/safe-driving/turning-on-ac-right-after-getting-into-hot-car-is-serious-health-risk-128[/url]

It is easy to solve this stale air problem in your car. After starting the engine, the driver just needs to open all windows and turn on the fans of the A/C system at max speed (but not the lowest temperature) for 5-10 minutes before cooling. This would help to ventilate the passenger compartment and protect your health from negative effects of stale air.

Celebrities › Re: "Delay Is Not Denial" - Linda Ikeji Boasts Of What God Did In Her Life by Mryacks: 5:49pm On Jan 11, 2019
Dailyhappenings:
One of the richest bloggers in Nigeria has taken to her blog (Lindaikejisblog) this morning to boast of all what God did in her life..





see what she wrote...



"The first time I stepped foot outside of Nigeria was in November 2011. I was 31. Before then, I'd never entered an international flight. I never had the opportunity to travel abroad and definitely couldn't afford a holiday. I always wondered what the outside world looked like.


Fast forward to 7 years later. Now I can travel to any part of the world I want...maybe even take 10 people with me and give them a luxury trip. And throw in shopping money inside sef...lol.



I have learnt through my own journey that delay is not denial. Sometimes things will come when it will come. You can't hurry it along no matter how much you work, plan or pray. What you need is patience and trust God's perfect timing for what is meant for you. God will come through for you as long as you keep the faith, refuse to give up and keep working. Sometimes the delay is God preparing you for greatness beyond what you even envisioned. So don't be down that you are not where you want to be now. Your breakthrough is coming! It may be taking a long time, but God didn't bring you this far to leave you and you didn't bring yourself this far to give up. So increase your determination, increase your drive, do everything with all your might and be patient.

.

Your time is coming! Oh, it will come...and soon! The question is; are you ready?"

Christianity Etc › Re: Why You Must Make 2019 A Year Of Sexual Chastity by Mryacks: 3:44pm On Jan 08, 2019
Interesting15:
by Sunday Akanni Moshood

So, officially, Happy New Year World! God has placed some burdens on some of us to ensure people obtain total freedom from the grip of satan through messages that encourages sexual purity.

So, this is a new year, and the first message God placed in my heart is to make the world see some "deep" reasons why they must make 2019 a year of sexual chastity.

So, why should you pursue sexual purity this year?

1. Because God Himself Wants You To Be Chaste:

You know, one of the reasons some of us don't joke with God or the things that concerns Him, is because His Character endears Him to us. Many of us prioritise our relationship with God and our services to Him above everything else, because we are always wowed by His Awesome characters.

Let me explain one of the admirable qualities of God that keeps wowing me. He is a God of sufficiency (the only Creature that is totally sufficient). Being a Sufficient God, it means He can do fine without any other being/thing. That is, even if God decided not to create the angels and other hosts of Heaven to attend to Him (even if God decided to be all alone), HE WILL STILL BE FINE! But despite that God can do without humans, He still want to have a relationship with each and everyone of us - because of LOVE (true Love). How wonderful!

So, God will love walking with you this year - not because He can't do without you, but because He loves you vehemently. Once you accept His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life, and you become determined to continue living a holy life, God will come and dwell in you. Having the King of kings Himself going with you in the journey of this year, I'm assuring you that fulfilment will become your portion.

However, God doesn't love sin and He can't move with you if your life is dirty with sexual immoralities. In Amos 3:3, scripture says two can't walk together expect they agree. If you and God will walk together this year, you must agree with each other in regards to the issue of sex and sexuality.

What God wants is that all manner of sexual pleasures should be between a married man and his wife inside their approved marriage institution. That means God doesn't want you to indulge in premarital sex, extramarital sex, masturbation, pornography, and other sexual immoralities. God wants you to live a life of sexual purity this year (and beyond!)

2. To Have A Right Standing In The Spiritual Realm

God told me He will make this year one filled with miracles, and, Hallelujah, many fathers in the faith have confirmed it. This year is strategic. If there is anything you desire (a spouse, a job, a baby, a house, a promotion, anything) you should position yourself and get prepared to snatch it from the spiritual realm through the authority given in Christ Jesus. God is always ready to do these things and to make us happy (Matthew 7:7-14, 6:25-39)

God never created this world to be this bad (where people must struggle to get nice things that they want). The earth was created to be an extension of heaven. Since those in heaven don't suffer nor struggle to get nice things that gives them pleasure, then it was never in the intention of God that those on earth suffer. Sin was the culprit that distorted it all - before Jesus Christ came to make things right again for those who will believe.

Now, at this point, if you are yet to believe in the existence of God and in the existence of the spiritual realm, you are simply cheating yourself (yes, you read that right!) You might even be currently wealthy on earth and tag yourself 'comfortable', but you might still be a victim in the spiritual realm.

Certain principles are not subjected to ignorance. Things that happens in our realm (the physical) are usually orchestrated from the spiritual realm. In the spiritual world, there are victims (preys) and there are conquerors. One big difference between these two categories of people is 'strength' (I.e their spiritual strength). The spiritual realm is a very busy world. Agents of darkness are on the loose, constantly afflicting those that are spiritually weak (which eventually becomes obvious in the physical realm). They keep hijacking positive things from some people - which explains why some are miserable in our world. They keep shooting arrows of negativity into the lives of many - which explains why some are held as hostages by strong restrictions, ailments, and even die suddenly.

To maintain the position of a conqueror in the spiritual realm, one must remain under God's hedge of protection and continue connecting oneself to Him. When you commits sexual immoralities in 2019, you become a prey for the devil and you miss out on God's splendid promises for the year.

3. You Save Yourself From Every Negative Stuffs Associated With Illicit Sexual Pleasures:

All forms of illicit sexual activities - premarital sex, extramarital sex, masturbation, pornography, etc - glaringly have dangerous effects attached to them. Unfortunately, this year, some people with very bright futures will allow sexual viruses like HIV to cut-short their lives through their illicit sexual activities. Please, don't be a part of this category - flee all sexual sins!

Unfortunately, some women will pick up a so-called "unwanted pregnancy", and some of them will die while trying to abort (some others will lose their wombs). Please, don't be a part of this category - flee all sexual sins!

There are a lot of repercussions attached to sexual immoralities - physically, spiritually and emotionally. Space won't allow me to explore more today.

In conclusion, there is more to life than the few minutes pleasure derived from illicit sexual activities. This year, be determined to walk with God in Spirit and in Truth. I'm assuring you that you will be glad you made this decision.

Phones › Re: Five Deceptions Of Social Media by Mryacks: 5:03pm On Jan 05, 2019
BalogunIdowu:
According to Merriam Webster dictionary, social media is the forms of electronic communication (such as websites) through which people create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages among others.

Particularly, this post is directed towards our relationship with others and our personal human nature. No doubt, the importance of social media cannot be over stressed from business, job opportunities, ideas and lots more. However, this post brings to you five things social media is doing to is without being oblivious about them.

So now, relax on your sofa or anything comfortable for you, get a cookie or popcorn and a bottle of cold drink as you surf through the points. Happy moments!

SPACING BETWEEN PEOPLE: yeah, yeah, yeah. I know you'll begin to wonder the oxymoron here comparing the advantages of SM to this point. It is worthy to note that, the relationship with different people varies depending on how close we are or more interaction we engage in. The cold truth is most times we replace SM with giving people a phonecall, visiting them or even texting them via their mobile line. You may not totally subscribe to this opinion but chats can't fully replace these things with the exception of video call to some extent.

Even if you communicate regularly via chats, calling them at a frequency that is determined by your closeness is very germane just like visiting as the same reason above. Quite a number of people at least the little that I know rely basically on SM to send a good number of their messages and even the important ones like anniversary, birthday, wedding, and a variety of congratulatory messages only via SM. Also, like I said, this may be a function of how close we are to the person in question.

Now I can read your mind trying to weigh yourself on this, I wish you ease as you try to adjust.


MASKING WITH EMOJIS: oh I know what's coming to your mind right away. The favourite emoji you use to either ignore, engage, or show your mood. I also have my favourite ones too but I'll keep that for now. You know what?, Emojis can be deceiving in some cases. The kind of emoji used by people may not necessarily display their mood in reality. Just like in communication, verbal and nonverbal expression needs to be connected to a large extent.

Even with depression affecting a quite number of people these days, they tend to use some of this for cover up which may worsen matters except people see and relate with them often to know what they are going through and help them out. However, there are times when the usage is genuine.


FAKING CONFIDENCE: Do you remember the..., well I'd say quite popular Maclean's advert with the mantra "I got my confidence back". A number of people may show confidence via SM with the way they text but in reality they are as timid as a snail (but wait, is a snail actually timid?) Now the question is whose fault is it? They have seen SM as a new world which is virtual and forgotten the actual one they live in which is the real. This kind of people are referred to as textrovert. Fine, some are naturally shy which is a good character and doesn't mean they are not confident. Those kind of people also exhibit it to a large extent on SM because it's their nature.

Also some individuals are garrulous on SM. They say almost anything, using the opportunity of not seeing the other person except in a video call. However in reality, they can't even near bit of their acrobatic texts, comments or posts on SM in speech. It sometimes gives people the opportunity to say things (positive/negative) to people they can't ordinarily tell when they see. So, If you have been speaking confidently on SM, don't end it there, take it to the real world too.


PRIVACY UNBOXED: there are quite a number of people that their entire life is a function of SM. Every single moment of their life will be captioned there even if they just met with their spouses (and this is not based on assumption). This no doubt must have been seen or observed in some of our friends, celebrities amongst other categories. Our whole life should not be a national news that should be read like punch newspaper where people know every now and then, actions and inactions, success and failures about us amongst others.

Don't get this twisted, I am a fan of you celebrating yourself when you achieve a feat but my point here is making the SM a full glimpse into every part of our lives. In case you forgot, according to my faith, there are evil eyes which are real and one's life may be in jeopardy by their actions, so hold tight to what ever you believe in. I am not trying to be fetish here but the reality of life.


TIME FUNERAL: Whether we accept it or not, there is quite number if minutes to hours we spend in SM everyday for various things depending on individual and what we do. This is particularly a problem for those that are not disciplined. However there are some whose daily work demands their presence on SM almost every time and in return, they make money from it as well. For some, they use it to add value to others, improving their lives amongst other positive things. But for those who do not fall into this category, we need to be conscious about our time spent on SM depending on our personal schedule.


As much as one can get involved with reasonable discussion and trends, one can also get entwined with those that are obnoxious.

Dear readers and friends, I hope these points are worth noting and have in a way impacted. Do have a lovely SM interaction and leave us a comment as desired.

Much love!

9 Strategic Ways To Set And Achieve Your Goals by Mobolaji Atolagbe

Simon got stuck in the process of writing his goals and did not know what else to do. He is convinced that 2019 will be his year but he seemed he would not be able to put together a plan. So, he’ll just wing it as he usually did. “Whatever comes,” he thought to himself “Baba God always has my back”.

Then he remembered a quote that had been haunting him for a while: “Life happens to those that do not take charge of their lives.” He decided to research how he will achieve his goals. He stumbled on an article that seemed to be written particularly for him not to just achieve his goals but to also surpass them.

1. Write all of your goals down

Write down all the things that you are looking to achieve. These are the two reasons:

1. To know all the things that you have in your heart to achieve.

2. To be able to make reference to the important things when you get distracted.

The bluntest pencil is better than the sharpest mind– Anonymous

When a friend of mine made this statement over a decade ago, I thought it was just one of those quotes but since then life has shown me that writing things down is very essential for growth.

Once you write your aims down, you can easily refer to it when you need to. The mind is as fragile as it is strong, things can distract it easily. This is particularly true especially now we are living in the age of distraction with a plethora of things calling for your attention.

Write down all the things that are important to you and ensure that your goals must be SMART (I’ll share more about this in my next post)

2. Whittle it down to the most important

“If you have more than 3 priorities, you have none” — Jim Collins

You have to cut the clutter to make the most important goals stand out. If you do not prioritize, you will not be able to achieve your goals.

I fell into the trap of wanting to do more in limited time and with limited energy. When you tend to chase too many diverse objectives at the same time with limited resources, you will be overwhelmed and fail at most of them.

After writing all your goals, your next aim is to write your goals in the order of importance from the entire list you put together then select the top 3.

Your criteria for selecting this top 3 should be the goals that are important to you and how it will springboard you to the next level that you seek.

3. Note specific steps necessary to achieve your goals

What do you need to achieve each of the goals that you have prioritized?

If you are looking to get another degree or do a professional course, will your current job give you enough time to study properly? Will you need to get a more flexible job? Can you talk to your boss to find out if you can have a more flexible time while studying for the exams?

You have to note the things that are necessary for you to get to the desired end point.

Must you learn a new skill?

Do you need more discipline with your finances?

Do you need to write more?

Once you can highlight the specific steps, you need to start taking ACTION and ensure that you follow through.

4. Daily steps towards achieving the goal

It is not enough to know the specific steps, you need to do these things on a daily basis. To be able to take daily steps, you’ll have to pre-plan your day. It is quite simple and will take only a few minutes.

Draw out your to-do list for the next day just before you head to bed. On your to-do list, put together all the things that you aim to achieve, write them in order of priorities.

This way, you can squeeze the little things that can assist you in achieving your goals into your day no matter how busy you get.

For instance, if you want to read more about business in 2019, start by reading a chapter of a business book per day. It might be in the morning before heading to work, during your commute to or from work or just before you head to bed.

Once you plan for it, pick out a book that you want to read and start reading a chapter daily, you’ll be surprised at the total number of books you’ll be able to complete before the end of the year.

5. Review on a daily and weekly basis

There will be many things that will take your eyes off the goal.

This is why it is important to review your goals daily and weekly. Meditate every morning (after prayer if you are a praying person) and look at your goals.

Ensure the journal with your goals written out is by your bedside so you can have easy access to it. Look at it at night before you sleep so you can know the things that you did that day towards your goals.

Constantly look at your goals and keep working towards it.

Take a day on the weekend (Saturday or Sunday) to critically look through and highlight the activities of the previous week that helped you towards your goals.

During this weekend review, you should also plan on improvements the coming week to help you to quicken your process.

6. Your timeline is your lifeline

Working with your timeline is a major factor in achieving all the goals you have written. I’ll share my personal story of when I wanted to buy my first car and how the timeline helped me.

I had written that I’ll buy a Toyota Corolla to use for Uber so I could have a passive income stream. The date to achieve this was November 31. As of September, although my savings was about 75% of the total cost of the car, I started looking for a good deal.

There were many cars that looked great although they were not the exact specification I was in search of. Then I saw the car I wanted and although I knew that I did not have the funds for it then, started engaging to buy it. After countless phone calls, I was able to raise the funds to make the purchase and paid for it on November 18.

If I did not give a timeline that I took seriously, I would have let go of the goal and maybe put it up for next year. Note that the pressure you feel when the timeline is close helps you think creatively about ways to achieve the goal. Do not keep shifting timelines when you have not used up ALL available prospects.

7. Hold yourself accountable

Do not just feel bad when you miss your targets. You have to take responsibility for your actions or lack of them.

You might have to get an accountability partner that will support you in achieving your goal. There might also be a need for you to do something as a punishment if you fail to commit to your goals.

An instance, if your aim was to go to the gym at least 2 times a week, you can pay your accountability partner a certain amount of money if you miss your gym days.

It has to be a sum that will hurt to let go of and your accountability partner really has to be someone that can hold you accountable for your actions.

However, there will be times that things will go out of control and it will hurt you. Go through the pain and pick the lessons so you will not have to go through it again.

“In the life of a champion, there are no failures. There are successes and lessons. Learn from your mistakes” — Mobolaji Atolagbe

Mohamed Ali lost the championship belt to Joe Fraizer and the very next day he was back to train with the lessons learned from the fight. As a champion, keep going every day and hold yourself accountable.

8. Do not focus on the plans but on the planning


“Plans were nothing but planning was everything” — Dwight Eisenhower

During World War 2, the Allied Forces had to find a way to quash the Nazis so they made a way across the English Channel to Western Europe.

General Dwight Eisenhower planned the largest seaborne invasion in modern war history and they succeeded with the hybrid utilization of deception and pure guts to successfully complete the invasion of Normandy which was tagged “Operation Overlord”.

However, nothing went according to plan. On the day of landing in France, they had 9,000 casualties with 4,414 confirmed dead.

This will have devastated any General but General Eisenhower actively used 12 months to plan the strike and knew how to be flexible once it was required.

Eventually, the invasion was a huge success and dealt a huge blow to the Nazis. That was a major point which culminated to the end of War World II.

This is the same way you should think, have a rigid goal but flexible plans so when one tactic does not work out, you do not fall flat on your face.

Head back to the drawing board and re-strategize on how to get to your desired goal with the resources you have used in your planning.

9. Manage your time.

“Until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else.” — Peter Drucker

God has granted every single person in the world with the same 24 hours. What we do with this time determines the outcome of our lives. It is the proper management of our time that will determine the output of our life.

We might live in denial but that is the stark reality. You, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Aliko Dangote have the same time but because they have found how to efficiently utilize theirs and have amassed lots of wealth and influence in the process.

Learn to say no to things and people that do not align with your dreams. Also, know how you can efficiently apply yourself within the time that you have.

Quick Points that you should hold on for 2019.

1. Write all of your goals down. Your mind can only hold as much information consciously at a time. Have your goals written out.

2. Prioritize to the most important If you do not reduce your goals, you will be overwhelmed. Focus on the vital few.

3. Note specific steps necessary to achieve these top 3 goals. There are certain action points you need to do before you can achieve the written aims.

4. Daily steps towards achieving the goal. Babies do not stand and run. They keep taking one small step forward until they get to what attracts them.

5. Review on a daily and weekly basis. Just like brushing your teeth, the more frequent you check your goals, the clearer the path to achieving it.

6. Your timeline is your lifeline. Set timelines that allow you to put in your best.

7. Hold yourself accountable. [/b]Take responsibilities for things you can change and learn from the things you can’t.

[b]8. Do not focus on the plans but on the planning.
The planning matters, with knowledge of the resources available, you will know how to be flexible when life attacks you.

9. Manage your time, manage your life. The ticking clock is your life. Manage it properly.

P.S: Know that it is not just about you reaching your goals, it is about building a system of habits that you will continue to groom, Know that you cannot rest on your oars after achieving a particular target. Keep working on improving your habits.

Once you have good habits, you can improve them to be great habits. Achieving your goals is amazing but you are not meant to relax, you need to keep grooming your habits such that there is a 1% daily growth in the important aspects of your life. These habits that will ensure you are successful long-term and not just be a flash in the pan.

Quick example: Love him or hate him, why do you think C. Ronaldo is still a great footballer although he is past the peak age of most footballers?*

*He has wired the concept of continuous practice in his head. His workout routine ensures that he is still in the best shape and can play at best possible personal standard. He has delivered results in every league he played because he has built habits that ensure he is at a peak state, physically, mentally and emotionally.

The end game is not just to achieve your goals. Your end game is to learn how to build healthy habits.

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Jesus Christ Actually Came To The Earth by Mryacks: 12:31pm On Dec 30, 2018
Interesting15:
Every year, the 25th day of the month of December will continue to be a significant day. It is the celebration of the most popular holiday on earth - Christmas. It is the birth of Jesus Christ.

And so, everywhere in the world, Christmas is being celebrated. But unfortunately, many that celebrates Christmas don't even know the major reason Jesus Christ came to the earth in the first place. Sure, if indeed they have an appropriate knowledge, they won't go ahead celebrating Christmas in ways that gets God displeased (alcoholism, fornication, etc)

Why did Jesus choose to come?

God originally created the earth to be an extension of Heaven, and He made humans to be perfect creatures to take care of everything He made. He desire (and enjoys) an intimate relationship with humans.

But after our first parents (Adam and Eve) committed the sin of disobedience in the Garden of Eden, the relationship between God and humans got destroyed, and the once-perfect humans became imperfect creatures.

And that's how sin begin to reign in humans, and the fate of humans became damnation. In successive generations, humans couldn''t help but to commit sin and go contrary to the will of God.

Until God decided to send His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ to come and offer His Own Life to redeem humans back to Himself. He suffered and died on the cross of Calvary to get us back into the will of God.

So, in summary, Jesus came to the earth to redeem us back to God, to make us holy, perfect and acceptable to God.

The method is simple: Accept Him (Jesus) as Lord and Savior of your life, and you will be saved.

Jesus Christ is the Reason for the season. It is absurd to celebrate Christmas without making Him Lord of your life. It is absurd to celebrate Christmas in ways contrary to the will of Jesus Christ the Celebrant Himself.

Do the right thing today. God bless you.

Career › Re: Difference Between Busy And Productive by Mryacks: 9:14am On Dec 28, 2018
Onyemadonald:
Productivity is not measured by how many tasks you accomplished from your to-do list. It is measured by the progress you make on important outcomes.

It is very easy to be busy doing all kinds of things that make no difference to the task you are trying to accomplish. You can agree to do all kinds of work and undertake projects that consume your time and energy but, while interesting, you are doing nothing to move your major projects or goals.

NARROW YOUR FOCUS
For you to be productive is about narrowing your focus. It’s about having priorities. It means that you carefully highlight what is very important thereby terminating things that are not worth Investing your time and energy on. It’s not honourable to be busy, no matter how many tasks you accomplish in a day. A day is said to be successful when you make major progress on what is most important.

If you are struggling with this idea, you can use a time journal to take a measurement and make adjustments. You can Start by jotting down everything you do from the time you wake up until when you go to bed. Make this a daily routine for three or four days, and be completely honest with yourself.

That means writing down that you spent 20 minutes of your time on bed looking at social media on your mobile device, that you spent an hour on the phone with someone else's issues, and that you spent just over two hours chatting. Maybe you also spent forty-five minutes on your most important issues.

RAISE YOUR STANDARD
By taking a look at what you really do and how little of it is related to what you want to accomplish. You create the awareness that always bring about a positive change. That positive change expects you to raise your standard, that you make a decision and act on the idea that you are going to prioritize the most important things instead of what makes you busy.

If the things you are doing is not moving you closer to your aims, then stop doing them and do something totally different. It makes no sense to be so busy and you are not productive.

Politics › Re: Oby Ezekwesili: Good Governance Possible In Nigeria by Mryacks: 1:13pm On Dec 19, 2018
5Ebiscoo:
Prof. Obiageli Ezekwesili, the Presidential Candidate on the platform of Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), on Tuesday said that good governance was possible in Nigeria if youths would be the agents of change.

Ezekwesili, a guest at the 2018 The Future Awards Africa (TFAA) in Lagos on Monday, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that youths should stand up to be counted among those that would change the country.

“They need to know that they are the future of this country. The youth need to look out for the candidates who are the true symbol of change.

“I want youths to stand up and be counted among their contemporaries all over the world. We can only achieve this through good governance.

“A country that is governed well will not concern itself with the past and I am resolute that good governance is possible in Nigeria, I am certain about it.

“The youth can achieve their dreams through creativity, resilience and productivity with right attitude and associating themselves with the right group,’’ she said.

Ezekwesili advised youths to inculcate the right character and shun all things that might jeopardize national interest and development.

“Youths should exemplify good characters and not just acting like. They should make well-informed choices that can help them grow and also in the national interest and development.

“If the youth understand what quality leadership is all about, they will not continue with the recycling pattern they are into now which is poor choices of political leaders.

“Every young one come 2019, should decide because they now have their choices to make without anybody forcing them to choose.

“It is in their own interest to ensure that governance system in Nigeria is right; they need to dream what they want their future to be,’’ she said.
