ICAN has done a great job by providing mock exams and pilot questions for
ICAN students, it means ICAN is much concern about your success just like we do too.
Before I give you the link to down the mock exams and pilot questions,
Let me tell you why you should practice the mock and pilot questions;

• Research has showed that mock exam can help student to
practice under exam conditions.

• Mock exam will help you to know how well you have studied for ICAN exams.
It’s a good way to find out where your strengths are,
as well as identifying the topics that require attention.


• Mock exam will help take the pressure of ICAN exams off.
Although mock exam conditions are slightly different from ICAN exams,
yet it is still good practice.


In my subsequent article I will show you how to practice mock exams in a condition that is almost like the ICAN exam day.

Hope you are enjoying this series of “How to help your child focus on his/her studies”

So, let’s continue

MAKE A TO-DO LIST FOR YOUR CHILD

Having a lot of chores and homework assignments
can be overwhelming for children.
You can help your child focus on getting things done by
making a to-do list or general timetable which should contain,
when the child sleeps, wakes, eat, prepare for school, house chores,
study and other things.
It should include week days and weekend activities.

Though most students don’t like timetable for their day to day life,
so tell your child that it is a to-do list of his daily activities.

You must always review the to-do list with your child on a
daily basis if you really want your child to follow the to-do list regularly,
this will make you become the accountability partner of your child and
it will make your child to strictly follow the to-do list because he/she is accountable to you.

I know the question on your mind now is that,
“What will happen if the child is not following the to-do list strictly?”

You need to have an agreement with your child on what
he stands to lose if he did not follow the to-do list. For me,
I told me son that any time he misses his to do list,
he would lose a day of going to the Cinema for that month,
he was so reluctant to agree, then I ask him that
“Are you saying you want to be missing your to-do list?”
he said no and eventually agreed.
As my son continue to follow his to-do list,
I notice how he is now so good at time management,
He is so orderly, organized and focus always.

That is exactly what could happen to your child if you
follow the same principle.

P.S: Time management is important for students to get high marks.
Student’s success in studies depends much on managing time efficiently.
The habits and morals they acquire during schools time and home
will stick with them throughout the future.

Yes there is still hope, you can still pass this diet.
A student asked me if he could still pass this diet exam,
my answer was YES, even though I did not ask of his level of
preparedness before answering him. Then he replied me that, why I’m I so sure.

The truth is that I just love to be optimistic because that is the
first stage of success in anything we do in life.

Then I proceed to ask him how well he has prepared,
he said he is actually writing 2 papers this diet and has read very well,
but while doing revision, he keeps having the thought of “what if I fail again”

If you have ever failed an exam like ICAN before,
it is very easy to start thinking that you will always keep failing.
It’s easy to start thinking that YOU are indeed a failure.
Don’t fall for such a destructive thought.

Instead, remind yourself that:
 Just because you have failed ICAN exam before doesn’t mean that you’ll fail again. Failure is just an event that happened to you, you are not a failure.

 You have been successful in other things; primary, secondary and university, so you can be successful in your professional career

 As you continue to revise by solving a lot of past questions, keep saying to yourself “I WILL PASS THIS ICAN EXAM”. Continue to say it on a daily basis until it sinks into your subconscious mind.

Now, let me ask you, “WHAT IF YOU PASS THIS DIET?”

P.S: Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently -- Henry Ford.

This is a continuation of part 2,call to see part one and two of this article

Reducing distractions can improve a child’s focus.
We live in a world full significant distraction and children
are the most vulnerable to this distraction due to technological
advancement; Phone, games, internet and others.


So, how exactly can you as a parent help your child to reduce distractions?

1. BY REMOVING GADGET FROM THE STUDENT:

Removing gadget from the student is essential for the child to focus during study
, unless they are a part of the educational materials being used,
even as that , it should be controlled. For example,
if the child must use the system or tab for studying at a particular time,
then there should be no internet. Sometimes,
the child might need internet to do research,
you can add parental control to the device or monitor what the child is doing.


2. CHILDREN SHOULD ALSO STUDY AT DEDICATED STUDY AREAS:

Children should also study at dedicated study areas that are far from
televisions and other electronical gadgets.
When your child is studying, make sure he/she is doing it with the TV,
computer and mobile phone off.
Just make sure you help your child to minimize distraction.

I will have to stop here for now and continue in my next article.

In the previous article, I explain in details why getting informed is a secret of blowing off your interviewer. Now, I’m going to share another secret with you.


I noticed that no matter how informed a person might be. Not getting ready can easily put a person off balance and it presents a well-informed person as awkward.
This will make the interviewer see such person as underserving or unqualified. I’ll explain…

I graduated from the University with a very good 2.1, excellent grade right? Exactly what I thought but I was knocked off from my first, second, third interview and was practically sent out of my fourth interview.
Now I can tell you that there were some interviews where I got myself well informed. I knew what I was going to say, not only that, I also had answers to every conceivable question yet I was not employed.

So what happened?

I WAS NOT READY!

SECRET 2- BE PREPARED

Now being prepared is not all about carrying G-maths or any other material of study for written or oral interview questions. It is a more than studying or practicing questions and answer. It is beyond picking the best or the right outfit for the interview. It is beyond wearing a nice perfume or showing up early at the interview.
While all of the above are nice and also very important before you go for the interview, it is also necessary that you are physically, emotionally and psychologically prepared for the interview.

One of the mistakes I made while preparing for those interviews I failed was; I would study and study, I could do several sleepless night before the interview, the worst was that, I would even skip sleep the night before the interview.

Having made this mistake, I can boldly assert that forcing yourself to be awake when you are supposed to be sleeping before an interview is an error.

It will give you a mental, emotional and physical imbalance. First, you will not appear smart, no matter how you try to cover it up with your properly ironed shirt or dress. Second, you will get edgy at anything- you will frown and you won’t even be aware that you are frowning. In your mind, you are trying to do your best but you are not in the proper emotional state to give your best- your smile will be sour. Lastly, you will tend to be sleepy- you don’t intend to be but you cannot cheat nature, you have stressed out your whole body

So here is where I drop my pen for part 3, but stay tuned to find out more about how you can get properly prepared for that life changing interview.

P.S. Before you walk through that interview door, make sure you have the necessary SKILL that will stand you out.
GET our Personal Development Videos (SAGE 50, Tally ERP, Advance Excel and others), develop your skills and name your price at the interview room.

No 1 Tuition center with the highest exam pass rate at one sitting for professional exams in Nigeria.

In the first part of this write up I explained that INFORMATION IS KEY and the best way to access this is key is by researching and asking questions.

For me, I did a whole lot of research before I went for the first interview that got me my first job. After getting to know the company online- their vision, mission, objectives and all that, I actually took the pain of going to the company.

I pretended like a service provider and acted like I needed the help of the receptionist to get the contract. So while she tried to explain the fact that she had no power or even influence to help me with a contract from the company, I was able to engage her and she explained the power play in the organization. In fact, I got to know that the recruitment process was contracted to an HR company.

I got to know the HR Company that was going to conduct the interview; she went as far as telling me about the officials conducting the interview.

When I got home that day, I did a research about the company- their vision, mission, core values… I also did a research on the officials according to the names given by the receptionist.
I can tell you that having this kind of information at your fingertips gives you a 100% confidence as you approach the door to the interview room.

As for me, for the first time in my life, I had a confidence that I never had. I was just sure I would get the job. So as they called my name to enter the room, I walked boldly into the room. It just felt like, I knew the people who were going to interview me; they didn’t feel like a stranger to me.
So I sat opposite the interviewers- two gentlemen and a lady. They kept the questions coming and kept answering them based on their (own) objectives and the company’s objectives which I already knew.
And then one of them asked “You seem so confident.”
And I replied confidently “I have spent my years getting knowledge that will help build a great career life for me, therefore, I have every reason to be confident.”

Bingo! That was just it. I got the job.

P.S. You too can get that job, but getting the job is not automatic just because you know more about the company, your skill is what could finally get you the job.

What SKILL do you have that can stand you out during the interview?

29 Days to ICAN exams….. You can still make it.
Are you getting frustrated about ICAN exams already?
Do you feel like maybe ICAN exam is not meant for you?
Do you feel like you don't think you can ever pass ICAN exams this diet?

Just know you are not alone, a lot of ICAN student have experienced the same and
they conquer the fear, you too can.

Problems are inevitable. They come and they go.
Life is never problem free but we must be prepared to face it by focusing
on the solution and not the problem.


A student told me that her own ICAN exams issues doesn’t seem to want to end
because Case Study has been holding her back from becoming a
Chartered Accountant, for over 3 years.

I asked her a question ' what do you think the issue is? '

She said Case Study is not a course that the answer is fixed,
so she was always confuse on how to answer the questions.

I replied her that the solution is how to answer CASE study questions.

She eventually passed Case Study and now she is a Chartered Accountant.
What she did was that she got Starry Gold Video Lecture,
our ICAN Success Blueprint and joined our Revision Live Class

32 Days To Go.... There's Still Hope

As ICAN exam date draws closer,
a lot of questions are springing up from students,
though, mostly by students who are writing ICAN exams for the first time.

Some students are asking for the area of concentration, my answer was that,
this is not the time to start asking for area of concentration,
it is time to start solving more past questions…… solve as many past question you can find.

If you need more past question, check our members area NOW,

One of the students proceeds to ask what the Dos and Don’ts of ICAN exams are.

These are the some of the suggested DO’S and DONT’S for ICAN exams.


DO’S

• Know your exam center ahead.

• Get your exam docket before the exam day.

• Make a visit to your exam center if you are chanced.

• Make sure you register for the courses you are writing.


• If your location is far from exam center, move to a hotel close to your exam center a day or two days to the exam.

• Make sure your calculator and writing materials are in good condition.





DON’TS

• Don’t go late to your exam center, lateness could destabilize you.

• Don’t interact with anyone while in the exam hall, this could be passive as malpractice.

• Don’t take mobile gadgets (Phone, Tabs and others) into the exam hall.


These do’s and don’ts might seems too basic, but it is better to do the right thing to avoid the “stories that to touch”


For reminder sake;

ICAN 2019 Nov Diet Date: 12TH November to 14TH November 2019.

In the first part of this article, I promised to show you
creative methods that can help your child concentrate
on his/her study and reach his/her academic potential.
Contact Starrygold to see the first acticle…
Let me quickly do a recap of previous article;

Make sure you know what your child’s distraction is/are.
The second child I coached was a victim of distraction and
loosing focus on her studies when she was in the secondary school.
Initially I thought that maybe it was puberty issue that was affecting her.

Later I changed my approach and started asking her about the
latest movies and gist in town. Sometimes I would be forced to
watch the Trailer of these movies just to be updated so I could discuss with her.
I had to start checking different blogs for the latest gist in town.

You could see the excitement on her face when she
noticed that I was contributing to her discussions.
So, whenever we were done gisting, I will then ask her about her academics,
what she did in school and what she had studied.
Then I proceed by helping her with her daily timetable,
after a month, she was only allowed to watch movies on Saturday.
Gradually I was able to reduce her distraction and helped her focus on her studies.

In my next article, I will show exactly how Reducing Distractions Can Improve Your child’s Focus

P.S: Sometime it could just be a change of approach that your child needs.

There is a saying that to accomplish anything requires a combination of inspiration and perspiration.
This means that for you to achieve your exams goals and success, you need to work hard and work smart.


For many, the biggest problem with ICAN exams is a lack of confidence, or what some might call “Exams Anxiety”.


During exam preparations, knowing the content of the exams is obviously of high importance. But being able to put yourself in the proper mental state to excel in the exams is also very significant.
Because knowing that you've done everything possible to prepare for the exams can help you feel more confident about the exam.
Studies show that high exam confidence also contributes to good performance.



There are strategies which help to boost exam confidence:


1. GOOD PREPARATION

There is no substitute for good preparation that can help you excel in exams.
When you know that you have prepared well for the exams and there is nothing that you have not gone through, you can perform well in it.

A good preparation entails the following;

• Study well by paying attention to your Updated Video Lectures…

• Visit the member’s area and access the soft copy materials (past questions and their solutions)

• Participate in the Free Online Telegram class lectures and ask questions where you do not understand and where necessary.

• Make requests for our 30 Days Success Blueprint to help and guide you in your preparations. With this, you can finish the entire syllabus in 30 days!

With all the above in addition to making a good revision before the exams, your confidence will increase.



2. SLEEP WELL

Like your preparations, your sleep is also important during exam time.

Adequate sleep is vital. Not only does getting enough sleep control your mood, energy, thinking, performance, productivity, and general health, it also regulates your immune system, hormone and endocrine functions!

More sleep = a happy, healthy, and successful mind!
So don’t deprive your body of sleep.




3. AVOID TOO MUCH CRAMMING

Cramming for exams is bad. It leads to more stress, lowered comprehension, and poor performance.
When a student crams for exams at the last minute, he is studying to remember rather than studying to understand.


And with so many materials and stuff to cover, the student’s brain doesn’t have a chance to absorb or make lasting connections about what he or she is learning.

As a result, students will forget the material almost as quickly as they learned it.
The best technique to avoid cramming is early preparation and practice.



4. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

When you believe in yourself, you’ll be willing to try new things.
When you feel confident in yourself, you’re able to devote your resources to the task at hand. Rather than waste time and energy worrying that you aren't good enough, you can devote your energy to your efforts.
So ultimately, you'll perform better when you feel confident.

Abeg make I ask you, should I stop this ICAN Exam Countdown?

Wondering why I ask?

A mother complained that she does not know what to do
again about this Nov diet ICAN exams.
“Whenever I receive your countdown email I will just lose
my appetite for that day and when I get home I won’t be
able to do house shores because ICAN exams date will just be ringing in my head and
my husband has really been complaining about this attitude.”

“But the good thing is that, the countdown is forcing me to study hard and
do intensive revision.
Now I have gotten over it and my revision is in top gear.”

Another woman also complained that initially this countdown
scared her because November looks like a long time but
this countdown made her face the reality and
she has rigorously started preparing for the ICAN exams by using Video Lecture.

What is your own experience and opinion about this ICAN exam Countdown?

Should I stop or continue?
P.S: I it normal for you to feel scared with this countdown,
but you have the power to decide what to do next,
you better face your fear of ICAN exam and conquer it by starting
or intensifying preparation now.

The first thing you do when you get that letter inviting you for an interview (and those letters are usually tailored to make you feel special) is jump up and celebrate.
“I have been invited for a job interview!” You announce excitedly to; your friends or siblings or parent. (Especially when it’s a multi-national company or an international NGO).

The next big thing you do afterwards is to get the almighty G- Math, studying and solving problems with every determination in your heart that this particular kill is yours.

I’ve been there and I know how it feels; I’ve blown away countless job opportunities right in the interview room. At some points, it looked like the harder I tried to come up with the best of me at the interview session, the more I tend to flop the whole thing.

I’d given up on myself more than a hundred times and then I get up again with a lot of motivational books and speeches.
However, the harder I tried, the more I looked like a failure until I discovered the secrets that I am about to share with you.

I have tried these secrets only twice in my career life; the first one was at my last interview as a rookie- the interview that got me my first job- and the next was when I was getting promoted as the group head of my department in the same company.


THE SECRETS OF THE INTERVIEW ROOM

Either of these two things will happen in the interview room; It’s either you blow away your interviewer or you get blown away.



SECRET 1- BE INFORMED

GET INFORMED! RESEARCH! DO YOUR HOMEWORK! ASK QUESTIONS AHEAD OF TIME!
If you for instance, you get a letter from X and Y limited inviting you for an interview. If I were you, the first thing I’ll do is to ask Google about the company- their vision, mission, objectives, core values…

The next thing is for you to know the position you are getting interviewed for- research about that position too. It will be a good thing if you got to know who and who had been in that position, get to know their success or failure story.

Let me start by saying HAPPY NEW MONTH

Every year, we make new make New Year resolutions, just like we also did at the beginning this year 2019, but how many of us have fulfill our resolutions as the year gradually comes to an end?
Congratulations if you have fulfilled yours. According to research by Forbes, you’ve just joined the 8% of people who actually fulfill their yearly resolutions.
The truth is that, 92% of us start out with good intentions to change something about ourselves and fail spectacularly.
Though, none of us intentionally set out to fail. So, why is it so difficult to succeed in changing ourselves for the better?

Nothing will change if we don’t deliberately endure the pain of change.
No pain, no gain is the rule of life.
We often give up our goals because they are stressful. When we start something new, especially if it is a difficult task, we experience decreased happiness in that moment and lower levels of enjoyment, because difficult task or hardwork stretch us beyond our present capacity. But later, when you look back, you feel happy and satisfied with what you’ve accomplished.

Research suggests that you need to go through temporary stress to reap the benefits associated with increased competency.
For us to achieve anything great in life, we either endure THE PAIN OF LEARNING, else we will face THE PAIN OF REGRET.

If you refuse to work harder/smarter now to save for your old age………”THE PAIN OF LEARNING”
You will suffer at old age ……………………………………………………………………”THE PAIN OF REGRET”.

If you refuse to learn a new skill now or develop yourself ……. “THE PAIN OF LEARNING”
You could miss the opportunity of a better job………………….. “THE PAIN OF REGRET”.
Just like someone who missed a life time opportunity……. See story here
So, either ways, PAIN is involve, but the ball is in your court to choose THE PAIN OF LEARNING or THE PAIN OF REGRET.

P.S: “It is not that I’m so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer.” ―Albert Einstein
“Learning never exhausts the mind.” ― Leonardo da Vinci
Even the brain needs to be stretched beyond its comfort zone to stay fit.
Pain is a clear signal that you are actually doing something new.

This is a continuation from the part 1 of this article, if you miss it call any of this number to get the first copy, how you can be optimistic for your ICAN exam is;


• CREATE AN ENCOURAGING AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE

As an optimistic person, positive thinking will help you generate
positive results and experiences,
But
A pessimistic person’s negative thinking will generate negative results and experiences.

I remember what happened last diet when a lot of students were having
difficulties to do their ICAN exam payments online, ICAN website was actually down.
A student was just saying that “Why is it that I am the only one having this issue,
that was how I had issues with my exam docket last diet and
could not write ICAN exams, abi na so dem won do me bad again this diet,
why am I always the victim?”

After ICAN site was restored back online,
she still had issue making payment online.
Few weeks ago, she chat me up that she did not write last diet exams
because she was so disorganized and discouraged.

It is important to remain an optimist rather than to be hopeless. Visualize a positive outcome for your ICAN exams and work hard towards it.

In conclusion,
Being Optimistic for Your Success In ICAN exams, will have positive impact on your life in general because;

• Someone with an optimistic perspective will view negative experiences or challenges as a temporary occurrence.

• Someone who is optimistic will view failure as one aspect of life, whereas a pessimistic person will consider their entire life to be a failure.


• Optimistic people look for external causes of negative events and pessimistic people tend to blame themselves.

P.S: Optimism is considered as the right way of life. It will increase your chances of SUCCESS in your ICAN exams and It will help but you in the correct direction of life.

Since I started this International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) trend,
I have received lots of feedbacks from Facebook groups,
email reply, WhatsApp chat, Twitter, Instagram DM, Phone Calls and Telegram chat.
If you missed my previous articles on IFRS, Call the number below…

Some of the question and arguments concerning IFRS I received are;

• “Are you saying that, as an Accountant, I must write ACCA Diploma in IFRS Exams?”

• “IFRS knowledge is strictly for Accountant that works with multinational Accounting companies”


• “Don’t confuse us, we are Chartered Accountants already, we already know about IFRS”

• “I am still struggling to become a Chartered Accountant, I can’t kill myself abeg”


• “Only certified ACCA personnel needs the knowledge of IFRS”



Well, there is no basis for argument. International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) has come to stay in Nigeria, its either you upgrade or be left behind.

The truth is that, if you belong to any of the categories below then
you need the knowledge and implementation of IFRS ;

• Those who analyze Financial Statements.

• Those who give Investments advice to clients.


• Those who manage Investment Portfolios for Local and Foreign Clients.

• Those who just want to refresh their knowledge on IFRS.


• Those who want to upgrade their IFRS skill and competence.

• Those who plan to seat for the IFRS (ACCA Certificate or Diploma) exams.


• Those who prepare and sign Financial Statements.

• Those who want to update their knowledge on IFRS.


P.S: Continuous learning is one of the keys to success in life.
Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.

My two children told me their experiences when they wrote their
WAEC exams years back, my first child Bolu, actually wrote WAEC twice before
making all her papers but Dimeji wrote the same exam once.


We learnt from Bolu’s experience , she said that writing WAEC when she
was in SS3 was so demanding, she wrote the exam under intense pressure
because
she was writing the exam for the first time, she was being too careful not to make mistake
and that made her to be very slow during the exams.
She also mentioned that she struggled to remember what she had read because of the exam pressure.


For Dimeji, we decided to let him write SSCE exam when he was in SS2,
even though he passed 3 out of the 6 papers, He was so confidence and
was eagerly waiting to write SSCE exams when he got to SS3……
to our amazing he made all his papers.


Based on my children’s experiences, I decide to interview past SSCE students by using online survey, here is what I discovered;


• Attempting GCE at SS2 will enable your child to have
the experience that will help him/her to improve. This is a big advantage for your child.



• Attempting GCE at SS2 will increase your child’s chances of gaining admission into the university at a young age.



• Even if you child did not pass GCE at SS2, he/she will be better off than those who did not attempt. Your child chances of passing GCE at SS3 will be high, because he/ she will be exposed to GCE’s standard ahead.



• 60 percent of the questions in WAEC/NECO/GCE exams are from SS1 and SS2 syllabus, so they are still fresh in your head at SS2.



P.S: Don’t let your children stay extra 1 or more year at home in other
to pass SSCE exams, give them an edge by writing GCE before they get to SS3.


Need WAEC/NECO/GCE Video Lectures (Inclusive of Question and Answer) to make learning easier for your child?.......

Once again, it’s Independence Day in Nigeria.

It’s a good time to remind ourselves of all the ways we
can exercise our independence, especially in our career.
Most of us are in need of career happiness and
it can only be obtained by creating career independence.



Wondering what career independence is all about?

Career independence is that state where you have the
career control to find your dream job, get the promotion
you deserve or to make a career change.

You might say this sounds like almost impossible in Nigeria.



A friend of mine who worked with the Telecoms (Telecommunication)
told me of how he had worked with the three main
Telecommunication companies in Nigeria, his service was so
needed because of his expertise, the last Telecoms company had to
sign an exclusive agreement with him with a huge offer for him not to
go back to other Telecoms companies.
Today he works in the UK for a Telecommunication firm.



I also remember when I was still in paid job,
our accountant was so good that the company could not let her go,
they had to sign a long term contract with her.
She had save the company millions of naira in terms of Tax payment and
has brought in more jobs for the company.

Sometimes, getting career independence could just be as simple as
having enough savings or side hustle such that you are not
100 percent dependent on your monthly salary.



If you don’t have side hustle with your work yet, just review all of your expenses,
and trim the ones that don’t matter.

Financial freedom can actually give you career freedom.

It is important that you take a closer reflection at your professional life to
achieve career independence, but there is no better time than NOW.


P.S: become so indispensable at work by learning new skills,
take that course, become a better version of you… AN EXPERT.


On this note,

I say, Happy Independence Nigeria.

This is a continuation from the article on How To Deal With Your Difficult Boss (Part 2)
So I will continue from step 3

STEP 3
BE PROFESSIONAL

At all times during your eight hours in the office, ensure you assert professionalism at your place of work. Being professional means that you are
- Not being emotional with him. One way you won’t be emotional around a difficult boss is to sympathize with his behavior. Most difficult people are usually products of circumstances, so whenever that boss yells at you or call you names, understand his problem.

For me, I feel pity for my boss when he would yell at me, I looked at those veins on his neck and they look as if they would burst. In other words, I wasn’t hearing all the words (abuses); I’m like ‘oh my God, this old man is going to have a goiter!’

- FLAWLESS. I know you want to say it is not possible but I can tell you from experience that there is a way you can appear neat, organized and prompt to duty and assignment and it is as though you are flawless. If you are seen as flawless, I know more will be expected from you. But if you are not a person who is afraid of challenge, then here is the challenge- step up your game. Flawlessness means respect and dignity.

- A GOOD COMMUNICATOR. When communicating with a difficult boss, try as much as possible to do avoid verbal communication. Send all communication through e-mail and you have to be comprehensive enough to avoid having to explain yourself in person.
More so, remember when we were younger and was been spanked for doing something wrong and we were to say ‘thank you’ after a bitter spanking. Exactly! This is how you must do it. After yelling all sorts at you, in the end say “Thank you sir/ma”- this sort of disarm him unconsciously.
Learn communication skills and improve on your communication with him.

- NOT AN OFFICE TALKATIVE. Be cautious of what you say about your boss in your work environment because you are going to be a boss someday, and because what you say will most likely be repeated to him. For whatever reason, do not talk about your boss to anyone around the office. If you feel so hurt and it is unbearable, you can talk to your personal friends, spouse or family members.

You might find a friend from the office who is willing to talk about your boss, telling you how terrible he can be. Just listen all through the conversation but if you must say something to keep the person talking, you can talk about how you find him challenging, how he has helped you improve by making you do more… let all you have to say about him be positive.

Why Optimism Matters For Your Success In ICAN Exams

The first phase of success in an exam is to believe in yourself….. Be Optimistic.
Though you have to study well for SUCCESS to be guaranteed.
Negative thinking is like a giant wall, it can prevent us from accomplishing our goals (exam success).
If you are optimistic and did not study well…….. You are on you own (“oyo”).
But the irony is that,
Even after studying well, you still have to be optimistic to pass your exams.
According to Helen Keller “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement”


So, how can you be optimistic for your ICAN exams?


• ELIMINATE NEGATIVE THOUGHT

Have you experienced the situation whereby you are just feeling like
“what if I fail ICAN exams”,
especially when the exam date is fast approaching?
It is important to eliminate all the negative feelings and thought by
replacing them with positive words.
Say to yourself “I know I will PASS this diet” ,
“My Success is a must this diet” “I study both hard and smart to clear my ICAN exams” ,
“I look forward to a great result” , “I succeed even in stressful situations”
This is known as AFFIRMATION.


Do this AFFIRMATION preferable when you wake up in the morning
and before you go to bed at night.


I did an experiment last diet by placing some ICAN students in a group, before then,
these students have been having challenges passing their ICAN exams for years.
So while they study hard to pass ICAN exam, they also do their Affirmation every morning and at night.

When the result was released, they all passed. One of them asked me
that “Sir which Juju you use” …… I replied that
“Na power of Positive Affirmation oooo , no be juju”

I will continue in the next article because I don’t intend to make this article too lengthy.

P.S: “Optimism is a strategy for making a better future. Because unless you believe that the future can be better, you are unlikely to step up and take responsibility for making it so.”―Noam Chomsky

This is a continuation from part 1,

A quick recap from the previous article,
The STEP 1 on HOW DEAL WITH YOUR DIFFICULT BOSS is to BE PRODUCTIVE.
So let’s move to the next step,

STEP 2: PAY ATTENTION-
Whenever he has something on you, always pay attention to him. I’m not saying that you should listen to every word he says to bring you down, listen to his complains.

Pay attention to his intentions- is he a downright psycho or an impressionist or a perfectionist? Does he have a complex (inferiority or superiority)? Or is he being pressured by superiors and is also not organized? If you pay close attention, you’ll be able to decipher.

At first, my boss ‘Adolf Hitler’ would yell and yell and I wouldn’t be able to make out any sense of what he said other than words that gets me depressed. But one day, he yelled ‘Do you ever even listen to me at all!’ and as usual, I stood there and then he yelled again ‘Are you deaf?’

I don’t why; I just woke up to the realization that I had never listened to the old man (my boss). He was not yelling because I wasn’t doing my job, he was yelling because I wasn’t doing his job. He wanted me to overlap duties and responsibility, and so if anything that was not supposed to be my official business went wrong, I had to bear the consequences. When I knew this- that he is a perfectionist, I braced up for the task.

This is how to pay attention; decide not to listen to the personal impact, (how he’s making you feel incompetent) listen to what he’s saying about professional matters. For instance, ‘You are so dumb, you don’t even know that when writing a report, you have to start from ….’

You don’t listen to the name he called you; you listen to what he said about your report writing. And don’t tell me it is not easy not to listen when someone is bringing you down, I have been there and I can tell you that it is easy especially when you make up your mind that you don’t want to quit.

Pay attention to when he is angry, why he is angry, what gets him angry, who gets him angry. Paying attention helps you to identify the source of his problems with you helps you to learn how to deal with it.
