We learned about gratitude and humility - that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean... and we were taught to value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect. Michelle Obama

One in a million most inspiring poem ever!!!! Ok,for me though. One night I had a dream I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord and across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints, one belonged to me and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before me, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life, there was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life. This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way, but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why in times when I needed you most, you should leave me." The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never,...

As February 14th approaches, the fever is already all over the place. The Valentine’s jokes, gift ideas, treats, songs, Groupons, texts, and movies. A lot of people in relationships are already anticipating new gifts or treats, while some single people still don't understand the whole fuss about Valentine's day b̶u̶t̶ ̶s̶t̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶p̶r̶a̶y̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶e̶e̶t̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶o̶n̶e̶ ̶b̶e̶f̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶V̶d̶a̶y̶. Valentine's Day treats for the ladies: Guys, if you have been so busy with work lately and you know it has been getting on your woman's nerves, try to make it up to her this Valentine’s. Try to be home before her and make her a dinner (of course, you can invite a chef but participate (women like men that cook)). Make her favourite meal and talk about the first time you guys met. Make it more romantic with roses, candles, handwritten cards/notes, background love songs, and her gift (try to get something new). If you don't like the idea of dinner at home, the...

There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will. Epictetus

My dad, who is a health devotee, came back with quail eggs yesterday. I am familiar with quail in the Holy Bible but never heard of its eggs' nutritional value . So I asked Google. If you don't know anything about quail eggs, then read this: The quail egg is prized as a dietary and healing food. It is recorded that Chinese medical practitioners have used quail eggs for thousands of years to remedy ailments such as rhinitis, asthma, hay fever, spasmodic cough along with skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. More recently the benefits are found in quail egg capsules sold online. Chicken Egg vs. Quail Egg Chicken eggs are considerable larger,Quail eggs are packed with vitamins and minerals. Even with their small size, their nutritional value is three to four times greater than chicken eggs. Quail eggs contain 13 percent proteins compared to 11 percent in chicken eggs. Quail eggs also contain 140 percent of vitamin B1 compared to 50 percent in chicken eggs. In addition...

All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be,ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision,that goal or purpose. Brian Tracy

Three boxes labelled wealth, bad luck, and happiness. You were asked just to choose one with no assurance that what is written on any of the boxes is the real content. To make the right choice, how do you go about it? We tend to judge people/situations based on appearances, which can be misleading. I believe for this offer, we will carefully analyse the boxes before choosing. We need to apply this method to how we judge people/situations.

1. You Forget 90% of Your Dreams Within 5 minutes of waking half of your dream is forgotten. Within 10, 90% is gone. 2. Blind People also Dream People who became blind after birth can see images in their dreams. People who are born blind do not see any images, but have dreams equally vivid involving their other senses of sound, smell, touch and emotion. 3. Everybody Dreams Every human being dreams (except in cases of extreme psychological disorder). If you think you are not dreaming –you just forget your dreams. 4. In Our Dreams We Only See Faces That We already Know Our mind is not inventing faces – in our dreams we see real faces of real people that we have seen during our life but may not know or remember. We have all seen hundreds of thousands of faces throughout our lives, so we have an endless supply of characters for our brain to utilize during our dreams. 5. Not Everybody Dreams in Color A full 12% of sighted people dream exclusively in black and white. The remaining ...

A man gave each of his two sons a seed and told them to nurture it for a year, after which it would provide them with food. Seed A required little care—simply plant it, tend to it lightly, and leave it until it matured. Seed B, however, demanded constant attention: watering, weeding, protection from disease, and careful monitoring. It carried a high risk of failure if neglected. Naturally, the lazy son chose Seed A, drawn to its ease and lack of responsibility. The hardworking son was left with Seed B. The lazy son planted his seed and went off to enjoy life, trusting that his plant would grow and sustain him the following year. Meanwhile, the hardworking son devoted himself to his task—watering, fertilising, and protecting his plant with unwavering discipline. As the months passed, droughts, floods, and disease outbreaks struck. After some months, the hardworking son’s efforts were undone, and his crop failed. Though devastated, he did not give up. Instead, he began again—this ...

I’m just wondering what kind of phones we should anticipate in the future. We’re already familiar with a phone’s ability to convey messages through hearing and speaking, as well as its ability to let us see who we’re talking to through video calls. Could phones one day develop the ability to smell—or even to feel and touch—our callers? I think it’s possible, though I’m not sure how it would work. Share your thoughts.

Thinking of a gift to give someone without breaking the bank? If your budget is ₦6,000, there are plenty of thoughtful options to consider—but a fruit basket stands out as a simple yet meaningful choice. A fruit basket is not only affordable (you can put one together for around ₦6,000 or even less), but it’s also easy to arrange. You can quickly visit a local fruit market to handpick fresh fruits of your choice, or opt for a pre-made basket—though that might cost a bit more. One of the best things about a fruit basket is its versatility. It’s suitable for virtually anyone, regardless of their age, background, or status. What do you think?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder—we all know that. Yet some people still question why others wear makeup, believing that going natural is always best. Maybe that’s true, maybe not. Personally, I see nothing wrong with wearing makeup to enhance your natural beauty. The key is understanding your skin tone and choosing shades that complement it. For beginners (first-timers), here are a few simple tips I use as a non-professional: * Moisturize your face, then wait about five minutes before applying a loose powder. An oil-control powder works well—don’t worry, it won’t bite! * If your eyebrows are already trimmed, great! If not, and you’re hesitant to shape them, apply a small amount of Vaseline and use an eyebrow comb to brush them upward and outward. * Using a pencil in a shade of your choice—ideally soft black or dark brown for tan to dark skin tones—apply it to your lower lids. Beginners may want to avoid bold, bright colors at first. * For eyeshadow, choose a natural or plum sh...

We all fear something—it’s a natural reflex. After all, we’re not superhuman (unless you are 😉). Fear of completion, for example, often stems from deeper fears: *Fear of failure – Will I succeed, or will I fall short? *Fear of success – Am I worthy of success? Can I handle it? *Fear of rejection – Will people accept me, my ideas, my values, or my culture? *Procrastination – Delaying action can become self-destructive unless you push yourself to act now. You can manage the fear of completion by letting go of self-doubt and cultivating confidence. Remember: what didn’t work for someone else might work for you. Here are practical steps to overcome it: *Avoid delaying priorities – Start today, not tomorrow. *Take one step at a time – Focus on small actions and pay attention to details. *Prepare for challenges – Difficulties are inevitable, so face them with readiness. *Stay hopeful – Being alive means there is always hope. *Build a firm foundation – Stay strong, maintain a positive ...

Having trouble sleeping because of stress, anxiety, depression, or similar struggles? It can feel awful lying awake at night after a long, exhausting day. Tossing and turning, checking the clock, getting up for water or a bathroom break… yes, that’s me most nights. Here are a few things that have helped me (and are still helping) manage insomnia: • A glass of red wine before bed • A hot bath or a hot cup of tea • Exercise — even simple stretching (I do this) or a few push-ups before sleep, if you can but I can't • Saying a long prayer, like the Rosary — it really works for me 🙂 • Changing your environment, room, or even your sleeping position sometimes • Avoiding daytime sleep — not even a nap What methods work for you? I’d love to hear your ideas — please share!

For many Nigerian parents, beating or cursing their children is not uncommon. They often see physical punishment as a quick and effective form of discipline, sometimes believing it works better than approaches like gentle parenting. Using objects such as brooms or flip-flops is often considered normal, and many Nigerian children have experienced—or are still experiencing—this kind of treatment. However, it may be important for these parents to consider and adopt alternative methods of discipline. Did these experiences of beating or cursing affect you in a positive or negative way?

The first day of the year is often one of the most inspiring moments in a person’s life. Many people begin outlining their New Year’s resolutions with excitement and hope. But as January passes, that initial motivation starts to fade, and some begin to forget those goals. By mid-year, the mindset shifts, and you start hearing the familiar line: *“Next year, I’ll…”*—a pattern we know all too well. Here’s a thought: if you’ve been adding more and more to something/someone without seeing results, maybe it’s time to stop\start subtracting. If you’ve been going left and still feel lost, perhaps it’s time to try going right or back. In other words, experiment with different approaches. Don’t stay stuck in a method that isn’t working. Sometimes, real progress requires stepping outside of our comfort zones. That’s where meaningful change begins and where things truly start to happen. What do you think?

Welcome to 2013!!!! May the almighty God shower his blessings upon us this year and forever and ever. Amen!
