It is 5:30 and two of my children are awake. On most mornings, they wake up at 6:00 to get ready for school, but today they decided to make an earlier than normal appearance. As I took a break from my writing and raised my right leg to kick the air, my middle child asks me, “Are you trying to be the Black Panther?” “No,” I said. But then I started to think about one of the positive messages the film offers fathers. Read More; http://valourdigest.com/black-panther-defines-success-fathers/ |
Having haters is a part of life. Hate comes in a variety of forms and can come from friends, family members, coworkers, classmates, associates and even random internet trolls. Haters are the ugly side of success. If you have anything going for yourself, you’ve experienced hate. Whether you are intelligent, thin, curvy, in a relationship, single, have kids, or love your job, you are going to have haters. You hear the snide comments, see the random side-eyes, read the hateful comments under a social media post. Read More; http://valourdigest.com/make-haters-like/ |
The Taj Mahal is regarded as the cornerstone of Indian architecture. In fact, any trip to the country is considered incomplete without a visit to the Taj Mahal. Surprisingly, this grand building is the product of an unlikely reason for architectural magnificence; it is the product of a romance between Shah Jahan and his wife Arjumand Banu Begum, famously known as Mumtaz Mahal. It is believed that the death of his third wife, Mahal at childbirth struck Shah Jahan with inconsolable grief. He was down most of the time and knew no other way to memorialise her than to build the grand tomb. Read More; http://valourdigest.com/travelling-india-visit-taj-mahal/ |
“No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance.” – Confucius Let me ask you a question. Are you one of the 25% of Americans who have not read a single book in the whole of last year? If you are, then read this because you will be amazed at how beneficial reading is for your health, especially if you read before bed.

Every headache is unique. Every headache is unique, so Drs. Roizen and Oz don’t recommend using this chart in place of seeing a medical professional.

Working remotely comes with a wealth of perks—bosslessness, flexible hours, the ability to work from this Dunkin’ Donuts—but none is better than the dress code. For six years, the ensemble I uproariously call my “work uniform” has been standard Writer Guy: potentially clean jeans, button-up shirt over a probable graphic tee and Vans sneakers. It’s always felt professional to me, perhaps because prior to my freelance life, I worked at several newspapers. Read More; http://valourdigest.com/dressing-success-really-work/ |
For a piece of information to be adjudged useful and valuable, the access to such information by managers at various levels in a business entity must aid them in planning for future periods; monitoring actual performance, comparing actual performance with the plan and taking control action where necessary. It must ultimately enable decision-makers in making better decisions, compared to decisions made when such information was not available. Usefulness of information can be determined if it possesses these qualities highlighted below. Read More; http://valourdigest.com/8-attributes-valuable-information/ |

There are some wrong notions people have about mandatory tax obligations of employers of labour, as well as employees of organisations. Many entrepreneurs think they are not individually obligated to pay tax in so far as their businesses have complied with relevant tax laws. Some even assume Personal Income Tax (PIT) rates are as high as 40%-50% in the country today, so they are not willing to pay. Many can’t even differentiate between corporate taxes and PIT and which one they must comply with. Therefore, it was expected that the Voluntary Assets and Income Declaration Scheme (VAIDS), a tax amnesty program put together by the Federal Ministry of Finance alongside other tax bodies in Nigeria, will have a lot of people wondering about its importance to them.

RYAN COOGLER’S FILM IS A VIVID RE-IMAGINATION OF SOMETHING BLACK AMERICANS HAVE CHERISHED FOR CENTURIES — AFRICA AS A DREAM OF OUR WHOLENESS, GREATNESS AND SELF-REALIZATION.

Toyota announced it is recalling 21,700 Toyota and Lexus cars in two separate recalls for problems with the fuel line that have the potential to cause a fire. Toyota is recalling roughly 11,800 of its 2018 Camry sedans because it’s possible that the fuel pipes and the fuel hoses in the engine compartment were not properly connected during assembly. This could lead to a fuel odor or leak, which—in the presence of an ignition source—could increase the risk of a fire.

As long as man has been alive, he has been collecting little sayings about how to live. We find them carved in the rock of the Temple of Apollo and etched as graffiti on the walls of Pompeii. They appear in the plays of Shakespeare, the commonplace book of H. P. Lovecraft, the collected proverbs of Erasmus, and the ceiling beams of Montaigne’s study. Today, they’re recorded on iPhones and in Evernote. Read More; http://valourdigest.com/21-epigrams-every-man-live/ |
You should go and love yourself. In 1961, author Joan Didion, then a 26-year-old Vogue editor, penned a seminal essay for the magazine titled, “Self-Respect: Its Source, Its Power.” In it she wrote, “To live without self-respect is to lie awake some night, beyond the reach of warm milk, phenobarbital and the sleeping hand on the coverlet, counting up the sins of commission and omission, the trusts betrayed, the promises subtly broken, the gifts irrevocably wasted through sloth or cowardice or carelessness.” Read More; http://valourdigest.com/3-valuable-strategies-practicing-self-respect/ |

Almost every religion on earth regards the man as the head of the home but not every man accepts the responsibilities that come with being the head, one of them being providing spiritual guidance for the home. Many men have left the responsibility of spiritual guidance to their spouses because they have the notion that all they should be concerned with is paying the bills. How wrong! Money, cars and expensive trips will not last forever but the values you instil within the home will abide. Read More; http://valourdigest.com/take-spiritual-lead-in-your-home/ |
@Wissed, my wife is a Nigerian and she is very intelligent. I think you shouldn't generalize. |
The Picture of a Leader When you think of a leader, what comes to your mind? Do you picture someone who makes you obey the rules? Do you think of a henchman who wants you to work without pay? Unpleasant experiences have made people have a wrong picture of who a leader should be. The fact remains that there are positional leaders. But not everyone who finds his or her self in a position is a leader. The story of Adam Crougher gives an in-depth explanation to this. Adam was a senior security chief working with Tabert Security Systems. He worked for twelve years and was ready to get married. Meanwhile, he saved his life earnings for an investment that would cater for his financial needs when he gets married. Adam discerned he could lead someone else. Leadership starts from the point where you realise it is time to lead. When you get to that level, then your heart has taken form and is ready to journey into what is called responsibility. Adam got married to Stella Maris a gynaecologist at Soprehat Homes. Everything went on fine, and just two years into the marriage, Stella fell ill. Stella got diagnosed with a brain tumour. This posed a big challenge for Adams as he had to balance the frustrations of work and his personal life. Readmore: http://valourdigest.com/the-sacrifice-of-a-leader/ |

People talk about romance; but not everyone is romantic. Romantic men have certain qualities that make them win the hearts of women. A woman fantasizes about the man she would like to date or marry. She highlights the desired qualities when she meets any man. At sixteen, Linda, my teenager cousin fantasizes of dating a man who is caring, funny, and in control. What ladies look out for vary, but most ladies want men that are romantic. John Bondirog is a fine young man with the repute of dating women perceived to be “classy”. Bondirog an investment banker had dated Janeth Lawn, Paris Seth and Juan Clavy in a space of one month. He is the charming guy every woman wants, but Bondirog isn’t as handsome as some of his friends who envied his relationships. I met Bondirog at the close of work on the 5th of August 2012 and asked him to share his secret with me; he blatantly refused. He told me to ask those ladies he dated. I was curious so, I hosted Janeth Lawn who is my boss in the office. While discussing with Lawn, I observed the disappointment in her mood, when she narrated her ordeal with Bondirog. In the midst of the discussion, she said: “Your friend is every romantic, he knows how to speak the language of every woman, “I’m not surprised that he keeps going from one relationship to another, “He is original, he makes women laugh… Readmore: http://valourdigest.com/3-secrets-about-romantic-men/ |
