Dare to move on

In order to achieve your goals , you must cultivate perseverance and determination. Here are 67 perseverance quotes for when you feel your
determination wavering and you need some motivation in order to keep going:

1. “Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination
alone are omnipotent. The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race” ~ Calvin Coolidge

2. “In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins- not through strength but by perseverance.” ~ H. Jackson Brown

3. “If I had to select one quality, one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would
pick the trait of persistence. Determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying.

Success is generally due to holding on, and failure to letting go. You decide to learn a language, study music, take a course of reading, train yourself physically. Will it be success or failure? It depends upon how much pluck and perseverance that word “decide” contains. The decision that nothing can overrule, the grip that nothing can detach will bring success. Remember the Chinese proverb, “With time and patience, the mulberry leaf becomes satin.” ~ Maltbie Davenport Babcock

temptations, frustrations, disappointments, or discouragements.” ~ Joseph P. Wirthlin

spectators, who live only to amuse themselves, looks like insanity.” ~ John Foster

30. “Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the
last blow that did it, but all that had gone before.” ~ Jacob A. Riis

trust, to pray
For larger usefulness and clearer
sight.
This is right living, pleasing in
God's eyes.

Gossip and rumors: why it hurts, why it's wrong

Let's say you have a piece of wood, a nail, and a hammer. Pretend the wood is a person, and the nail is a nasty rumor about that person. If you hammer in the nail, you're obviously hurting him or her. If you then pull out the nail-well, there's still a hole in the wood, and the damage has been done.
There are many reasons why that nail of a rumor can be so
harmful:

Words hurt as much as a punch
Sometimes more, because a punch may be painful, but at least it's over pretty fast. Rumors are, quite simply, a form of bullying that's sometimes referred to as "relational aggression." When a person or a group makes up a rumor about someone or decides to spread nasty gossip, it's usually
to hurt someone, break up a friendship, or make someone less popular. It's the same thing as teasing, only it's done behind someone's back instead of to his or her face.

Gossip and rumors can be a form of exclusion
When you spread a rumor about someone, you're sending a signal that the person is outside of the group, and some how less worthy of friendship than others. You're making fun of that person or pointing out negative things about him or her. This can let others think that it's okay to make the person feel inferior, and make him or her an outsider.

Gossip and rumors can destroy trust
We need to be able to trust our friends, and gossiping and rumors can break this trust. If you tell a personal secret to a friend, and he turns around and blabs it to someone else, you might feel like you'll get burned if you ever get close to him again.

True or not, private is private
Let's say your mother tells you that your friend Susannah's parents told her that they're getting a divorce. You don't feel bad about passing it around because, after all, it's a fact, right? Wrong! Perhaps Susannah isn't ready for people to know about her parents splitting up. It can be very painful and humiliating when other people know things about us that we want to keep private. It can make us feel like we've been violated, like something that is supposed to be just ours is now out in the open for all to see-and to judge. Believing rumors can lead to bad choices Letting a rumor influence your behavior is like letting someone else make a big decision for you. Let's say you hear that the Principal plans to call a Snow Day tomorrow because a blizzard's coming. Expecting a day off, you don't do your homework. The next morning, the blizzard turns out to be nothing more than a drizzle, and school isn't cancelled after all. Doh! You get zeroes on your assignments.
Here's another example: the gossip grapevine has it that the new girl in school is snobby, so you avoid her. Years later, you and the girl become friends, and you learn that she's not a snob at all! You missed spending a lot of time with a cool person because you judged her based on a rumor.

Investment Mentality – The Secret to Financial Success

Financial writers often refer to a state of mind called the ‘investment mentality’ when describing people who are able to manage their money so that it renews itself and is not squandered away.
Good examples of spending with an investment mentality include:
-Buying assets that will generate more money or grow in value, such as a property to rent out, stocks & shares or specific tools with which to undertake a trade
-Investing time and money to learn new skills and experiences, such as taking an evening course and putting yourself forward for opportunities at work
-Setting up a business or creating opportunities for promotion and advancement
-Looking at each purchase and questioning ‘why’ it is needed

Evolving to an Investment Mentality
For many the journey to financial independence involves three main states of mindset:
Job Mentality – also known as the ‘wage slave’. All income is spent on outgoings, with little or nothing left at the end of the month.
Savings Mentality – spending is reduced below earnings and extra money used to clear debts and save for the future
Investment Mentality – As much income as possible is invested in generating more money and those profits invested again & again to build significant wealth. All purchases given careful consideration to minimise money waste and maximise return-on-investment.

The Evolution of my Financial Mind
When I left university and got my first job, my main motivator was to at last have a decent income so that I could splash out on a fast car, some nice clothes, the latest mobile phone and all the other gadgets and gizmos that I couldn’t really afford during full-time education. I was definitely in the full midst of my Spend Mentality and succeeding very well at spending everything I earned, whilst also giving my credit card a good work out too. Moving on a couple of years, my attitudes started changing and I started to think more about the future. The realisation of the value of money started to dawn on me and I began moving into a Savings Mentality.

My desire to have the latest and greatest, began to be overtaken by a preference to be free of debts. I also wanted to own my place and have always being of the attitude that renting is dead-money. I was fortunate enough to be supported by my parents as I worked to pay of my debts and saved up a deposit for my flat.
I also started my pension and began investing in the stock market (through an ISA). Whilst the pension is still going, I ended up cashing in the ISA a couple of years ago to go travelling around the world – I guess you can’t be a saver all the time!

Whilst some would consider travelling as squandering cash, I consider it a worthwhile spend and have benefited from much broader views and increased confidence. Since returning to work I have participated in a number of large, high profile projects, which have involved a massive investment in personal time and energy to ensure delivery. Whilst my social life might have suffered, the skills and experience that I have acquired are now opening doors to much more lucrative areas of work and it has been well worth the sacrifice.

I would say that I am now moving from a saver mentality to an investor mentality and have a number of goals for the future that include trading up to a larger property, growing my investment portfolio and securing a level of financial freedom to fully enjoy life.

Your Stage in the Journey
Where do you currently stand in the financial journey? Are you a saver or a spender? What are you doing to help achieve financial independence?

WHO to declare Nigeria Ebola free today

The World Health Organisation(WHO) is set to declare Nigeria Ebola free today, 20th october, 2014, since Nigeria has not had a confirmed case of Ebola for 42 days – or two incubation periods of 21 days. On Friday, WHO pronounced Senegal Ebola free after no new confirmed case arose after 42 days, which is the twice the target time for the incubation of the
disease.

The UN statement on friday that declared Senegal ebola free read:“WHO officially declares the Ebola outbreak in Senegal over and commends the country on its diligence to end the transmission of the virus,” The statement declaring Nigeria free is expected today as 42 days has passed without a new confirmed case. Nigeria was listed among countries being ravaged by ebola when the Liberian-American, Patrick
Sawyer arrived Lagos July 20th, 2014. The quick response of the Lagos state government and diligent health workers saved the nation from
mass ebola breakout which could have been the deadliest in history seeing as Lagos alone has a population of 21 million. It was a great achivement for Nigeria,combating ebola when doctors and health workers were on strike, without adequate water supply or hospital instruments.

The Nigerian achievement is being studied by other western nations in their fight against ebola. The US centre for disease control said “They acted aggressively, especially in terms of contact-tracing,” Initially about 900 people were monitored in Lagos State and Port Harcourt in Rivers State, where one contact of Sawyer, an ECOWAS protocol official,
Ibukun Olu-Koye, travelled after slipping surveillance. The ECOWAS official, was treated in an hotel room by Dr. Iyke Enemuo. While Olu-Koye
survived the disease, Enemuo died of same. About 1,800 people were trained to trace and monitor those at risk, as well as decontaminate
infected places and care for the sick. The EVD has killed about 4500 people since the recent outbreak in Guinea.

The WHO however warns against celebrations and urged health workers and officials to be on alert since ebola is still in West Africa. Airports and
Seaports and all other means of entering the country should be monitored to avoid another index case in Nigeria.

The 10 Things You Need To Give Up In Order To Move Forward

Life is all about continuous progress: the ability to move forward and to achieve greatness. You cannot hope to ever achieve such things if you are holding on to things from your past.

All this will do is prevent you from reaching your full potential. By holding on to past ideals, you are self-sabotaging any progress you hope to make. You need to make peace with your past and learn to accept things the way they are, whether it makes sense or not.

Coming to peace with certain realities is what will allow you to move on from the past in order to have a great future. Once you let go of the things in life that are holding you back, the quicker you will be able to achieve your goals. You need to give up certain things in order to fully commit yourself to the life you want to obtain.

Start eliminating your concern regarding the following and see what a difference that will make in your life.

1. Other people’s opinion
This is something far too many people worry about. This is  inherently problematic, as you cannot change someone else’s opinion. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion even if you do not agree with it or it’s completely inaccurate. You just have to concentrate on living the best possible life for yourself that you can. People who engage in incessant gossip are unhappy with their own lives so they seek to degrade others to try and enhance their self-worth. The kicker is that this will leave them just as miserable as before.

2. Explanations
At one point or another, you are going to realize that sometimes there just isn’t a reasonable explanation as to why something occurred the way it did. You can spend all the time you want rehashing things in your mind, trying to make sense of a situation, but honestly you may never come to a realization. This is something that takes a lot of time and experience to realize, but once you do, it really can make all the difference.

3. Expectations
The sooner you stop expecting people to act in certain ways, the happier you will be. Allow yourself to be pleasantly surprised by the actions of others instead of becoming disappointed when they don’t follow through in the manner in which you thought they would. You can only control your actions, not those of others, so it’s simply in your best interest to let people act the way they will without creating false hope.

4. Mistakes you made in the past
The past is over and if you have done all you can do to make up for your mistakes, then there is nothing else you can do at this point. If people throw this in your face, then you need to cut these people out of your life. It’s as simple as that. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s a part of growing up. As long as you correct your mistakes and learn from them, then that
should be all there is to it.

5. Dwelling on heartbreak
Just because it didn’t work out with one person doesn’t mean it won’t work out with someone else. Rather than allowing your past to pull you down and harmfully impact your future, use your experiences to grow and learn about yourself. The people you meet in life come at the time they do for a reason. Don’t waste your time replaying incidents over and over in your head trying to make sense of them. If your relationship didn’t work out, it’s okay, take it as a lesson learned and carry that into your future.

6. Grudges
There is no reason to actively resent another person. It doesn’t harm the other person as much as it will harm you. Why are you focusing your energy on someone you don’t even care about? Do you really think they are wasting their valuable time concerning themselves with your actions? Just let it be — don’t engage in malicious behavior, you are beyond that. Leave whatever happened to cause this tension in the past
and move on.

7. Failing to appreciate what you have
Instead of focusing on what you think you are missing from your life, try and focus on what you are so fortunate to have. It’s far too easy to look around at the people you surround yourself with and become jealous of what they have. Everyone is fighting a battle within that no one knows about. Just because someone has materialistic possessions does not
mean he or she is internally happy. Be grateful for the things that are most important to you and relish them instead of focusing on what you believe to be missing. You have made it this far, so wouldn’t it only make sense that you have everything you need?

8. Excuses
You have to seize each opportunity that is presented to you and immerse yourself completely. Do not make excuses because you will only hinder your own personal progress and prevent you from achieving your goals. If you want results, you need to stop making excuses. Work hard and take advantage of all possibilities because that is the only way you will garner the largest and most beneficial results.

9. Insecurity
By this time in your life, there really is no reason to be insecure. Don’t consume yourself with worry about what other people are thinking — chances are they are way more concerned with themselves than you. Everything you have done up until this point is enough and has gotten you to this place in your life. Confidence is a state of mind; if you believe
you are a good person with good values, then it should be enough to build your confidence. Insecurity is something that holds people back more than anything else and it’s a damn shame because the person making you feel the most insecure is yourself.

10. Dealing with drama
The only thing dealing with drama will lead to is anxiety. Why are people drawn to this? I honestly don’t understand. You need to surround yourself with people who are constantly pushing themselves for the better, if you are consistently surrounding yourself with negative people, this will only hinder your progression. Think back to all of the drama you have dealt with in your life and think about if it really has any effect on your life now. The answer to that question is usually no and the time put into dealing with that drama is just not worth it.

God's unending love

If there is one thing that defines how God feels toward humanity, it’s His unlimited love. I’m so glad to know the love of God. I’m so glad to know that His love for me is not based upon what I do or how I do it. God’s love is based solely upon his power to love and nothing else. We cannot lose the Love of God. After all, God loved us long before we even knew who
He was. It was God that came looking for us, his lost sheep.

Romans 5:8, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." It was God who first decided that
He wanted to have a personal relationship with man whom He had  created. It is God who chases after us, seeks us and tries to reach out to us. Our attitude toward God has nothing to do whatsoever with whether God loves us or not. The Book of James tells us in Chapter1, verses 17-18 that, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures." That simply means that the Love of God is God’s good and perfect gift to all men everywhere, whether they are saved and living for Him, or not.

It is God’s perfect, unchanging and unending love that reached out to you and I when we were yet sinners and had not given God a thought. We were running as wild sheep when God came hunting for us and called us by name and said, “It’s time to come home now!” Aren’t you glad for God’s love, God’s mercy and God’s grace? I’m so glad that God’s love for me doesn’t change. He doesn’t love me any less when I have failed him miserably and yielded to temptation and ran from His presence to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. His grace is always the same,reaching out to bring me back to Him and to do all that he can to convince me to restore my relationship with Him.

The Book of Psalms says over and over again, “His mercy endureth forever. His mercy endureth forever. His mercy endureth forever!” I’m so glad that my God is an unchanging God. He is Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever, and because He is an unchanging God, I can always count on His great love, His mercy and His grace, even when I am rebellious against Him, and trampling his love into the dust, and running with all my might from His perfect will for my life, and chasing after the things of the world, and caught up in the cares of life, His love is still there.

True enough, I can lose God’s favor by running from Him. He can lift His hand of blessing from my life. I can lose that  closeness in my relationship with Him. I can suddenly realize, like the Prodigal Son, that I have strayed far from home and now I am trapped in the hog pen of sin and shame. But no matter how far I have gone, I am so glad that I can turn back toward home and know that God still loves me and His
greatest desire is to see His wayward sheep come home.

Success from God's perspective

George MacDonald said, "In whatever man does without God, he must fail miserably or succeed more miserably"
This is how the Holy Spirit helps us see success from a different perspective;

1. The Holy Spirit gives us thewisdom and the adaptability to see our situations more from God’s evaluative perspective. Paul wrote, "I know how to enjoy plenty and live in abundance. I have learned in any and all circumstances the secret of facing every situation, whether well-fed or going hungry, having a sufficiency and enough to spare or going without any being in want. I can do everything God asks me to do the help of Christ who gives me the strength and power." (Phil. 4:12,13)
Quote: Rudyard Kipling once wrote, "Failure and success - treat them for what they are - imposters." Ask the Lord to help you grow in realization
that your situation is not as bad as you might think or as
successful as it might appear.

2. The Holy Spirit gives us the power to overcome temptations to become discouraged by setbacks or to allow ourselves to grow proud during times of success. The Spirit of God transforms our thinking, emotions and perceptions to see how God can use setbacks for our best
interests. Similarly, the Holy Spirit gives us the grace to keep from becoming too self-sufficient, prideful or obsessed with achieving success. Isaiah learned that both setbacks and successes are given to us through the sovereign power of God. Isaiah wrote, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my
thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8,9) Ask the Lord to help you gain greater deliverance from the evils of selfish pride. Trust God to lead you away from the temptations to allow yourself to grow discouraged, frustrated or weary in well doing.
Illustration:Someone once asked Paul Harvey, the journalist and radio commentator, to reveal the secret of his success. "I get up when I fall down," said Harvey.

3. The Holy Spirit helps us to avoid setting our expectations too low or too high. Paul wrote, "For the grace given to me I warn everyone among you not to estimate and think of himself more highly than he ought (not to have an exaggerated opinion of his own importance), but to rate his ability with sober judgment, each according to the degree of faith apportioned by God to him." (Rom. 12:3) Ask the Lord to help you set your personal, relational and ministry expectations according to the degree of grace God gives
Illustration: What is success? In my book, one ingredient of success is meaningful time with my children. As a friend of mine observed, "I have yet to hear of anyone who, on his deathbed, wished he’d spent more time at the office."

The Question To Ask If You Really Want Success

Success has a cost. It’s cost is time. The time we spend going after the thing in which we want to be successful. The time we spend thinking about it. Studying it. Practicing it. Talking about it. Finding people who will help us achieve it. Getting ourselves in the right situations so that we can do more of it. But I think you know this already. You know that your time is finite, and therefore limited. And you know that any project or endeavor that you decide to pursue will require a portion of your limited time. You know to ask yourself: How much time can I devote to
this?

The thing we often miss though, is the 2nd half of that question. It is there, implied. But let’s get it out in the open, shall we? Because it’s where the rubber meets the road. The question isn’t just about whether we’re willing to devote time on our new project. The question is: How much time are we willing to spend on it… INSTEAD OF SOMETHING ELSE?
That’s the rub. Because it’s not like we’re all of a sudden going to find
new, unallocated time buried under the couch cushions. All of our time has been allocated already . Granted, some of it to not-so-worthy causes. But it’s all taken, nonetheless. The pursuit of anything fulfilling isn’t about finding free time for it.  We won’t find any. It’s a matter of redistribution. Changing where we give our time so that we can explore, immerse, master the thing(s) at which we want to be successful.Instead of something else.

So, my question to you is this:  What is it that you really to pursue and be successful at? And what would you be willing to give up to make time for it?

How To Make Yourself More Marketable

In order to compete for the best jobs, it pays to be as marketable as possible. In the context of job hunting, "marketability" refers to several
things.
First of all, it refers to how desirable a candidate is for employment consideration; on other words, what he or she is worth as a prospective hire. Corporate employers don't want to hire someone who can merely perform the initial job duties satisfactorily. Rather, they prefer to hire academically prepared, highly motivated, and ambitious workers who offer them a good, long-term return on their investment (ROI).
"Marketability" also denotes the flexibility a candidate enjoys in selecting suitable employment opportunities. That is to say, a highly marketable job seeker automatically has more employment options to consider. Instead of being restricted to a single career track, the individual can follow a number of different pathways to career success.
How can you make yourself more marketable? This article discusses ten ways to increase your marketability--thus making yourself more desirable as a prospective candidate, and increasing your realistic employment options.

One: Develop a highly impressive resume.
It's true that employers hire people, not pieces of paper. On the other hand, an impressive resume that documents evidence of academic excellence, demonstrated leadership, personal initiative and well developed social skills will definitely get the attention of corporate recruiters and hiring managers. The key is to present written credentials that depict you as a collegian who "stands out from the crowd" as an
exceptionally qualified prospective hire. One way to achieve this objective is to envision the ideal resume that you would like to present, and then fill in the gaps in terms of classroom, extracurricular and job-training experience. In other words, pretend that you are an employer
reviewing your credentials. What would you expect to see that would indicate an educationally prepared and well-rounded young professional?
Here are some suggestions: a marketable major with a strong GPA; wise selection of balanced, elective courses; extracurricular activities demonstrating leadership capability (college publications, sports, debate team, etc.); internship or co-op work experience with well respected organizations; membership in professional student societies; and some type of community services involvement.
Your resume is your calling card. The more impressive it is, the more desirable you will be as a prospective candidate, and the more marketable you will be when pursuing employment options.

Two: Prepare to participate in the global economy.
Smart collegians understand the importance of relating their coursework and occupational interests to the dynamics of the global economy. Working for a business of any significant size necessitates comprehending the impact and challenge of competing in the international marketplace. After all, the quiet, little shops on Main Street America depicted in Norman Rockwell paintings have been replaced with mega- corporations that have telecommunications, manufacturing
and marketing outreaches around the globe, particularly in Latin America, Europe and the Pacific Rim. There are several practical ways to prepare for participation in the global economy. For starters, become familiar with at least one of the major languages involved in international commerce: Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Russian, French, German or Chinese. Even one year of concentrated study in the language and culture associated with a major "player" in international business will put you head and shoulders above your peers without such knowledge.
Other ways to acquire a global perspective is to participate in multi-cultural initiatives and attend lectures, workshops and seminars on and off campus that will help you broaden your international perspective on matters that relate to your academic field. Finally, taping the endless resources of the Internet opens a window of opportunity for acquiring
familiarity with the global economy.

Three: Become technologically savvy.
Many readers may ask, "Why is this so important if my major isn't Information Technology?" The fact is, the rapid advancements in Information Technology affect almost every academic field and occupational profession, some more so than others. Whether you're planning a career in health care, law, engineering, criminal justice, teaching, human sciences, the military or financial services, it is essential that you understand how technology influences your line of work. Technologically savvy employees can more easily comprehend
how advances in technology enable them to perform their job duties more efficiently.
To accomplish this objective, make sure you have fundamental knowledge of computer operations, e-commerce, and software applications that relate to your academic field. Even one or two computer and Internet-related classes as electives can significantly add to your knowledge base. Another helpful hint is to visit the library often and read professional journals in your field that have a technological slant.

Four: Be flexible in terms of job expectations
This point cannot be overly stressed. Many bright, ambitious collegians limit their employment options by having rigid expectations associated with their first job following graduation. They have predetermined notions as to the size of the company, what their exact job title and starting salary should be, what career track they should follow, how much travel they are willing to do, where they are prepared to relocate, and so on. Unless a given employment opportunity has all the appealing ingredients they seek, they may bypass it while waiting for the "ideal job." Not smart. Collegians who limit themselves in this manner often see more doors shut in their face than red carpets welcoming them into the corporation. To be as marketable as possible, indicate to prospective employers that you are quite flexible on most matters related to initial employment and career advancement. The wording on your resume and cover letter -- along with interview conversation -- should indicate
that you are open-minded in every respect concerning employment options. Maintaining such an open-minded attitude will benefit you while in college and long afterward.

Five: Look like a winner.
Corporate recruiters and interviewers immediately zero in on whom among prospective candidates really looks like a "winner." Attire, grooming, posture and presentation are all critical factors in determining who looks the part as a highly desirable candidate. If you don't fit the corporate image, it's unlikely that you will get the hiring nod, no mater how impressive your background and qualifications appear to be. For this reason, it pays to adopt a conservative look (regardless of your political leanings). A neat, clean-cut appearance -- including meticulous grooming -- will build your self-confidence and boost your chances of impressing a prospective employer. One small detail that is sometimes missed: clean, neatly clipped (or shaped) fingernails enhance anyone's appearance. Believe me, corporate recruiters take note of such detail.
There may be other ways to improve your image.
Suggestions: lose some weight, exercise more to tone your physique, adopt a less "ethnocentric" hair style, get rid of the multiple pierced earrings and other facial piercings, maintain a hair color that complements your complexion, and make regular visits to the dentist to enhance your "winning" smile!
To prepare for interviewing, why not suggest as birthday and Christmas gifts a new business suit- rather than the latest electronic gadgets and the like? Developing a well- coordinated, professional wardrobe will also come in handy when you start working full-time.

Six: Improve your interview skills.
The most marketable candidates are comfortable and confident when discussing their career interests and employment strengths. How well do you interview? You don't have to be a Communications major to make a favorable impression when interviewing. However, taking a few common-sense steps can effectively prepare you to sell yourself adequately over the phone and in person. Between now and your final semester in college, learn all you can about the art of interviewing. Reading books and articles on interviewing is a convenient starting point. Attending career placement office tutorials and workshops on interviewing provides another valuable resource for self-improvement.
Perhaps the best method of fine-tuning your interview skills is to role-play with someone while being videotaped. A classmate, friend or family member can serve as the interviewer querying you on your educational preparation and career aspirations. Seeing yourself in a mock interview will provide valuable feedback regarding speaking ability, verbal content, and body language. With practice, you will be able to smooth your verbal
presentation, demonstrate nimbleness of thought, and convey through body language notable poise and self-confidence. That is exactly what employers expect to observe when culling the list of candidates to the most desirable prospective hires.

Seven: Network wisely. Anyone familiar with the employment industry clearly understands that the best jobs are not always advertised in newspapers, journals or online - or even represented by campus recruiters. True enough, these are logical and generally helpful sources of employment information, but they do not reflect the entire gamut of professional opportunities that marketable collegians should take note of in a comprehensive job search.
Professional networking offers another important avenue for identifying the ideal job. Specifically, meeting successful professionals in your field can steer you in a helpful direction as you investigate employment opportunities. They can alert you to what's available in the "hidden job market," including options with which you would otherwise not be familiar. In focusing on people who can assist in job hunting, toss out
your "net" in many directions, namely: Fellow majors in your college alumni association Persons serving in career liaison roles with professional organizations College professors and administrators who might provide job hunting leads.
Family and friends working in your field of endeavor. The more people who know about your career interests - and can speak favorably of you - the more marketable you will be overall. Furthermore, as interest in hiring you increases, the more desirable you will be to other prospective employers.

Eight: Mentor with someone successful in your field.
This strategy goes beyond comprehensive networking. It is career enhancing to mentor with someone who has achieved distinction in your academic / occupational field and is willing to offer career guidance and support. Whether it is a formal or informal mentoring arrangement, you can benefit from associating with an experienced professional who can "show you the ropes" in your climb to professional accomplishment.
In particular, a well-connected mentor likely has inroads into influential professional organizations. Such inroads can benefit you in a number of ways. For instance, perhaps a mentor can sponsor your membership in one or more prestigious organizations. The contacts that you make through such association can prove helpful throughout your career development. Plus, listing these associations on your resume will enhance your written credentials and give you a bit of a competitive edge in job hunting.

Nine: Do something socially constructive.
Most major corporations, and many smaller companies, have established programs that demonstrate a commitment to socially responsible activities. In fact, investment in corporate philanthropy is a multi-billion dollar enterprise. Corporate boards understand that giving back to the community increases employee morale, enhances the company's public image, and pays dividends in terms of business growth. Furthermore, hiring managers recognize that collegians who
have participated in worthwhile community service activities present a more wholesome attitude when interviewing, and also tend to be more responsible workers once hired.
What kind of socially constructive activities are available? Consider these: United Way, Big Brothers / Big Sisters, USA Freedom Corps, tutoring and literacy projects, advocacy for the homeless, community health fairs, adopt-a-grandparent projects, and so on. Admittedly, personal involvement in these kinds of activities and projects is time-consuming, but certainly beneficial for a career-minded young professional.

Ten: Dream big!
What does this have to do with becoming more marketable? All things considered, employers prefer to hire college graduates who are highly motivated and driven to succeed. Anyone can show up for work every day and do the minimum to keep his or her job. These are the "steady Eddy's" who typically only make minimal achievements in their line of work.
By contrast, employers are impressed with candidates who are determined to "make a difference" on the job and within their profession. Not settling for mediocrity, some highly ambitious collegians have big dreams concerning their future accomplishments. Imagine interviewing someone who is determined to find a cure for AIDS or cancer, or be the first minority astronaut to land on Mars, or sit on the US Supreme Court, or design a building that wins major architectural awards, or compose a symphony that is performed by the New York Philharmonic.
Get the point? If you dream big, everyone around you will know it: professors, fellow students, and employment interviewers. Having grand ambitions and the personal drive to achieve them will definitely make you more marketable as a job seeker and dedicated professional.

Beautiful Day

Life is just like that
sometimes happy
sometimes sad
sometimes funny
sometimes boring
but this is a new day
and the sun is shining bright
so come on
have a beautiful smile
for a beautiful day!
A beautiful smile
for a beautiful day!

Why We Pray

God has called us into a relationship with Himself. Relationships require communication. Prayer is communication between a holy God and a beloved you and me. Throughout God's Word we're taught the significance and role of prayer.

God commands us to pray.
“In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for Me in earnest, you will find Me when you seek Me” (Jeremiah 29:12,13, NLT).
God wants to be in relationship with us. And He knows we need what He can give. Through prayer, we experience life-transforming, life- renewing intimacy with the Creator of the universe.

God reveals Himself to us through prayer.
“Teach me to do Your will, for You are my God. May Your gracious Spirit lead me forward on a firm footing” (Psalm 143:10, NLT). We learn more and more about His character and how His perfect will is working itself out in our own life. Deepening our understanding of God also deepens our faith and desire to worship.

God invites us to bring our burdens andneeds to Him in prayer.
“Come to Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28, NLT). We have a Heavenly Father who is more than able to bring victory to any challenge we face. God is a spiritual and physical healer. Like any healthy relationship, we must keep a line of communication open.

God responds to the prayers of His people.
“The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results” (James 5:16b, NLT). It is through prayer, that His work is accomplished on earth. The apostle Paul continually asked for prayer in his missionary endeavors and saw prayer as vital to his success.

10 Benefits of Forgivenes

Is there a psychological, even a physical benefit to forgiveness? Studies show that there are. Forgiveness has been associated with all of the following:

1. lower heart rate and blood pressure

2. Greater relief from stress

3. Decrease in medication use

4. improved sleep quality and decrease in fatigue

5. decreased physical complaints such as aches and pains

6. Reduction in depressive symptoms

7. Strengthened spirituality

8. Better conflict management

9. Improved relationships (not just with the offending party
but in other relationships as well)

10. Increase in purposeful, altruistic behaviors

So, are you holding on to anger? Is there someone that you are “punishing” by choosing not to forgive? Why not let go of the bitterness and start enjoying all of the above. It takes practice and effort to forgive, but it is well worth it in the long run (spiritually, physically, and psychologically.)

6 Tips to Improve Your Time Management Skills

When you learn and maintain good time management skills, you’ll find
freedom from deadline pressure and from stress in general. You’ll be more productive, procrastinate less, and have more time to relax, which helps further decrease stress and anxiety.
Time management skills are like shoes or a good pair of jeans — you may have to try several pair before you find just the right fit. They’re different for each person and you have to find what works best for you. Below are a few that work for me which you may wantto borrow.

1. Make a list.
The thing about making lists is that you actually have to use them. You may want to set reminders on your phone and computer.Lists really
do work if you use them. One of the most important things is to make sure your list feels attainable. No one wants a 30- item to-do list and have to, at the end of the day, look at the 20 items that didn’t get done. Prioritize yours and others’ needs and plan accordingly. You might even want to make three lists — personal, home and work.

2. Set deadlines.
Again, there is no point in setting deadlines if you make executive decisions to always push them back. Set a deadline and try your best to stick to it. Set your deadline a few days before the task absolutely has to be done. This allows for the possibility that other things will get in the way, but also allow for you still to get the task done.

3. Stop multi-tasking.
Multitaskers often seem to think they get more accomplished, but it’s not always the most productive or efficient route. Let’s face it, our minds work better when we are truly able to focus and concentrate on one thing.

4. Delegate responsibilities.
For those of us who like to be in control the very thought of this is likely to provoke a bit of anxiety. The truth of the matter is that no matter how good we are, we can’t do everything. Sometimes we take on more than we can handle. Delegation is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of intelligence. Find competent, reliable people and share some of the responsibilities. It will allow you to be less
stressed and more productive.

5. Use your downtime.
This tip requires some balance. Using all of your downtime for planning and prioritizing is bad and can lead to increased stress and burnout. However, if you find yourself sitting in early morning traffic, this may be a good time to start prioritizing your day or making plans for dinner. If you’re waiting in the doctor’s office, this may be a good time to write the grocery list. (Just don’t forget it.) If you have opportunities like these make the best of them, but also remember to use them for relaxation as needed.

6. Reward yourself.
When you accomplish something, celebrate it! How you celebrate is up to you. My word of advice is to keep whatever you choose to do healthy, make sure it’s something you really enjoy, don’t do it in excess, and don’t let it cause you to get further behind.Time management skills are an essential part of making your day just a little easier. Find what works for you and stick to it.

Healthy Sleep Tips

Healthy sleep habits can make a big difference in
your quality of life. Having healthy sleep habits is
often referred to as having good “ sleep hygiene.”
Try to keep the following sleep practices on a
consistent basis:

1. Stick to the same bedtime and wake up time, even on the weekends.
This helps to regulate your body's clock and could help you fall asleep and stay asleep for the night.

2. Practice a relaxing bedtime ritual.
A relaxing, routine activity right before bedtime conducted away from bright lights helps separate your sleep time from activities that can cause excitement, stress or anxiety which can make it more difficult to fall asleep, get sound and deep sleep or remain asleep.

3. Avoid naps, especially in the afternoon.
Power napping may help you get through the day, but if you find that you can't fall asleep at bedtime, eliminating even short catnaps may help.

4. Exercise daily.
Vigorous exercise is best, but even light exercise is better than no activity. Exercise at any time of day, but not at the expense of your sleep.

5. Evaluate your room.
Design your sleep environment to establish the conditions you need for sleep. Your bedroom should be cool – between 60 and 67 degrees. Your
bedroom should also be free from any noise that can disturb your sleep. Finally, your bedroom should be free from any light. Check your room for
noises or other distractions. This includes a bed partner's sleep disruptions such as snoring. Consider using blackout curtains, eye shades, ear plugs, "white noise" machines, humidifiers, fans and other devices.

6. Sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillows.
Make sure your mattress is comfortable and supportive. The one you have been using for years may have exceeded its life expectancy – about 9 or 10 years for most good quality mattresses. Have comfortable pillows and make the room attractive and inviting for sleep but also free of allergens that might affect you and objects that might cause you
to slip or fall if you have to get up during the night.

7. Use bright light to help manage your circadian rhythms .
Avoid bright light in the evening and expose yourself to sunlight in the morning. This will keep your circadian rhythms in check.

8. Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, and heavy meals in the evening.
Alcohol, cigarettes and caffeine can disrupt sleep. Eating big or spicy meals can cause discomfort from indigestion that can make it hard to sleep. It is good to finish eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime.

9. Wind down.
Your body needs time to shift into sleep mode, so spend the last hour before bed doing a calming activity such as reading. For some people, using an electronic device such as a laptop can make it hard to fall asleep, because the particular type of light emanating from the screens of these devices is activating to the brain. If you have trouble sleeping, avoid electronics before bed or in the middle of the night.

10. If you can't sleep, go into another room and do something relaxing until you feel tired.
It is best to take work materials, computers and televisions out of the sleeping environment. Use your bed only for sleep and sex to strengthen the association between bed and sleep. If you associate a particular activity or item with anxiety about sleeping, omit it from your bedtime routine.

What if You Just Hate Making Dinner?

Nigeria poor, a cool bunch of people with little or
no money at hand. They are not just poor – they
are really poor and the class of Nigeria poor folks
do not include the Average middle class who feel
he is poor because his neighbor, the rich middle-
class guy, oppress him a lot with stuffs he
cannot afford even tho he is not really poor.
I have a problem with the Mr Biggs, Chicken
Republic, KFC, Ozone & SilverBird Gallery visiting
middle-class folks who thinks they are poor
while also paying N5000 averagely for their
monthly DSTV subscription. You are not poor.
You have no right to claim you are poor. You
have no right to claim you are suffering because
the real poor folks beneath you in the ladder are
suffering – Hunger pangs is a regular visitor to
their tummy. Average middle-class folks should
& ought not to be classified as “Poor Nigerians”,
– classifying them as poor Nigerians is an insult
to the real poor Nigerians.
The poor folks are those whose Mr Biggs &
Tantalizer are Mama Basira, Iya Bako & Mummy
Tobi; the un-kept looking food sellers whose
food you will never eat because she sells her
food in an environment unhealthy to your health.
The poor folks are those who Mama Basira haul
insults at because they’ve exceeded their credit
patronage limit but they have to eat, their family
have to eat and Mama Basira understands this.
That’s why, after the insults, she still sell food to
them on credit. She understands their situation.
She pities them because she can relate with their
situation.
The real poor folks are Ibrahim & Rashidat’s
parents; the little kids who hawk pure-water and
other stuffs down your street while their
privileged mates – the children of the middle-
folks are in the classrooms. Government-owned
Primary and Secondary schools offer the children
of the poor Nigerian folks a chance to be
educated. That’s all. After their SS3, Wo ma lo
ko ishe owo. The stubborn ones rugged their
University education. Some of the stubborn ones
later go on to become success stories while
others make it up to the middle-class social
ladder.
The real poor Nigerians have no time to
complain about the bad roads, bad government
policies & other stuffs we rage about. They are
busy hustling to survive. And the poor Nigerians
are not on social media – they have no such
time to waste. Time is money. They have to
hustle to eat, to feed their family. To stay aive.
The real poor folks are those who may have
never visited a hospital before after birth; not
that they don’t fall sick but because they cannot
afford hospital bills so they engage the service of
the local doctors (Chemist) or the traditionalist
(Alagbo) whenever they fall sick. When they
eventually die, their relatives have to contribute
money for their burial & their kids are shared off
among relatives because the possession they left
behind will fetch nothing of worth. They may
even have lots of debt hanging on their neck and
their creditors usually attend their burial to
confirm for themselves if he/she is really dead.
The Creditors are usually the most saddest
during the burial – Watch out for them.
The real poor folks don’t give a damn about who
becomes President or governor; they are
interested in Elections only due to the
benevolence of Nigeria Politicians during election
periods. Hence, The real poor folks are those
who collected rice from Fayose & Fayemi in Ekiti
state and still didn’t vote on Election Day for
either candidate because hunger calls and they
have no money for pepper & kerosene. They have
no strength for election queues. And they are
busy praying to God to send a helper to provide
for them pepper & kerosene so they can cook
Fayose and Fayemi rice in one big pot to fill their
belly.
For the real poor folks, Everyday is a battle for
them. Everyday, they fight for the right to stay
alive. Nigeria have failed them. The Politicians
have failed them & “We” – their fellow Nigerians
have also failed them. As their neighbors, we’ve
have never cared about them. We don’t give a
fuck about their existence. We spend lots of
money partying, caring for our dogs while they
tarry hungry – While they go to bed hungry. We
make subscription payments for our Dstv &
Phones with the same amount that is enough to
sustain them for months. We come online
Clamoring for change; because we have the
bragging rights to do so while we ignore the
existence of our neighbors who our little
benevolence to will “Change” their living
situation. Change does not begin at Federal
Level – “Charity begins at home” – Change
begins with You & I. Change begins with “You &
Your Neighbor”. Change begins with “US”.
The touts we see in Mushin, Oshodi and other
places where touts are – they are the children of
poor Nigerians. 99% of the little Children you
come across roaming the streets of Mushin,
Oshodi, Ibadan and other places you come
across them will up as a menace to the society,
they will end up as tools to be used by the pot-
bellied power hungry Politicians to unleash
violence. They are your problem, they are our
problem. Statistically, they are the government
problem. They add up to illiteracy rate and
children out of school rate. But realistically, they
are our problem. They will end up as our
problem.
God Bless Nigeria.
