Africa is gradually rising. This was the first target of their attack and the day they succeeded at making us hate our tradition (ourselves) we lost. Happy we are rising from where we first fell. Africa shall be great again

XerXers:
The picture has been confirmed as old pictures. Enugu PDP should prepare for Court and stop behaving like Tinubu's people

Why won't they behave like Tinubu's people when they used Tinubu's template to rig?

But I thought you guys encouraged him to go to court? Methinks he's just being obidient.

Last efforts of a drowning man (PDP), who actually drowned himself. There was a political party

Based on what I see on this politics section on daily basis I'm tempted to conclude that the most important prerequisite to be given this cursed praise-singing job is that you must have that part of your brain that reminds you that there are people on ground sealed.

"Life is a race" is one saying that is widely accepted in different cultures and professions, though the coinage may be differently done; the message remains the same.

Though in most cases the race is personal as against the competitive races we are all used to watching over the TV or at stadiums, the distinctiveness of the tracks is still maintained across most cultures. This is to reduce frictions and clashes among "the athletes".

In life, all of us are athletes running our races to different finishing lines. Yeah, I said "different finishing lines". That is the difference between life as a race and racing as a profession.

In the race of life, you don't measure your success by the speed and or the success of others. Here, everybody came with an inbuilt yardstick for measuring his/her success based on his/her peculiarities and purpose of creation. We will discuss this later.

We are going to be looking at three habits of successful professional athletes and see how we can apply the same in our lives as life athletes.In no particular order, here we go………

First, it has been observed that athletes eat healthy. Athletes are not the most regular hospital visitors yet they are among the healthiest people on earth. Their food is their drug and their drug is their food.

They understand that whatever enters their system has a huge impact on their output and so they are very selective when it comes to what to eat.

Bringing it to ourselves as life athletes. If anyone wants to succeed in life, he must be in charge of the information he consumes.

He must not eat because every other person ate because he is not going to the same place as every other person. He must consciously, deliberately and consistently go after information that are tailored to helping him reach his finishing line with less hitches. He must not be a mass media consumer.

He must develop the skill of sieving out what he wants from junk the media, be it traditional or social media, pushes to him every second of the day.

He must learn to use the media and resist its attempt to use him.

The second point is that successful athletes develop and maintain a consistent practice/training routine.

Enduring success doesn't come by accident, even if you accidentally stumble into success, you must be deliberate with your efforts to nurture and keep it, else, just as it came, it will accidentally fly away.


The life athlete must develop a daily healthy routine and strictly stick to it. This is so important because there are a thousand and one things out there competing for your "scarce" attention.


Identify those things that help you become better at what you do or those you want to do and configure your life to revolve around them and be strict with your time management. Know it that an extra minute at the gym means a minute less in the time allotted for the next schedule.

There is always the temptation of spending more than allotted time for the things you enjoy and less for the ones your body seems not to enjoy. This is where self-discipline comes in. You must tell yourself that the "bitter ones" are as important, if not more, as the "sweet" ones.

Lastly, for today, professional athletes prioritize recovery.

When the athletes get knocked out by injury or illness they pay a lot of sacrifice to come back to full fitness. Whatever their handlers prescribe, even when painful to their bodies they force themselves to do.

Life is full of ups and downs. Nothing is permanent hence the philosophical saying that "change is the only permanent phenomenon".

Talking about change, we know it could be positive or negative but for the purpose of this discussion, we shall be focusing on the negative side of the coin.

When life knocks you out or off balance or into the pit. Firstly you must understand that it is part of life and that it happens to every other person at one point or the other, so it is not peculiar to you.

The next thing is to begin finding your way out of the pit. It could be that you have to learn, relearn and or unlearn somethings. Even if you have to go to your juniors to achieve that.

It could also demand that you pay some sacrifices such as taking a pay cut, if you are an entrepreneur running your own business, going down below your present living standards, working harder and for more hours etc.

If life is a race and we all are athletes for life, we must live the life of athletes if we are to succeed in the harsh realities of this track called earth.

RECIPES FOR EFFECTIVE PARENTING.


"Parenting", in my definition, is the art of grooming and guiding a child to fulfill his mandate and purpose of creation. It must be deliberate and conscious else, it will not achieve its aim. The approach also differs with an individual child, in other words, it has no universal approach. That is why the first ingredient that will ensure successful parenting is……

1.KNOWLEDGE

You cannot help a child whose purpose and mandate you don't know. You must know the child's life purpose. You must have a perfect knowledge of where he/ she is going in life.

2.UNDERSTANDING

You must discern the uniqueness of each child and consciously develop a roadmap for him/her to have the smoothest ride possible to his/her mandate.

3.LOVE

You don't just love all children (both biological and otherwise) but you also must make them know it. If your child doubts your love, it will be very hard for you to help him as he will not trust you enough and you can't help a child who is doubtful of your love.


4.EXEMPLARY LIFE

You may succeed anywhere and with anyone with your power of oratory but not at home nor with your kids. If you must succeed with your children, you must endeavor to match your words with actions. Children don't "really" listen to your words, rather, they monitor your actions. Therefore, be careful what you say before them but more careful what you do before them.


5.FAMILY VALUE

A family that has no value will eventually produce children with no value AKA "valueless children". You must cultivate good family values and try as much as possible to instill them in your children.



At this point, I will be leaving my keyboard but that does not mean the list is exhausted, feel free to add your opinion(s), let's learn from each other, thank you.

Righteousness2:
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

What are you saying bro??

but this magu of a man....................


how many times did his name appear there?

Mchewwww
This one Nigeria thing has become the easiest route to "relevance "for the attention starved folks

.

Earlier in the day it was news of lasser and now Ebola; can't we at least a cheering news again.

You forgot to add the names of the authors

why has this case persisted? Is it that the razor is not sharp or the barber lacks skill.

anyways RIP to the dead

.

OK.
so they had even prepared uniforms before the judgement? this is where our monies go into.

Yet some of their brainwashed supporters cannot sleep in the same street for one night without a major tragedy.
Nigerian youths, have they not fooled and used us enough?

when there is nothing reasonable and educating to report again.

nextprince:
Insults, insults, and more insults, for a principle on which everyone is entitled to.

You can go and start shaking hands and hugging people's wives and be massaging them, that is your business.

The constitution respects people's beliefs and if you are not happy about that, you can continue to wail and wail and wail till thy Kingdom come, that is your business.

The Hon Min is not doing that and shall it be, if that is against your religion, keep it to yourself, it does not involve you.

Here they come, "hypocrites"

Is it the Nigerian youths that have boycotted knowledge acquisition and are consuming themselves with hate, ethnic, religious and political sentiments that you are talking about? hmm... I pity 2050 Nigeria?

If only these budgets are religiously followed as outlined,Nigerian would have been more developed than most European countries.
but e nogo beta fr diz looters as dem dey loot our c'wealth God go dey loot dia p'wealth.

if it's true then, it's confirmed that the people of "peace"have made some guys educated illiterates.

different things bring different people to limelight

It would have been better the "SAINT" that "HATES" money was ignored?

U mean we can't hear an encouraging news in this country again. y all these?

Can his hate stop anything? As he continues with it he ignorantly goes on shooting himself on both legs.

NA is becoming suicidal.

sue him of course but before then make sure you have enough evidence to avoid wasting of your resources.

Did I hear PASTOR? anyway, it depends.

But y this sudden increase in suicide and its attempts?What bloodsucking demon is being appeased through these "suicides"? may God save his own.
