Are you confused, clueless or you feel your world is about to crash? If this is you 've got your back. Let me tell you something, we fail or even adopt negative emotions because will lack what I call periodic self-evaluation. Someone offends you and then you're furious at the person. Forgive and forget you wouldn't. Not knowing you're depositing bad energy into your mental bank account. Or you're a student/businessman and things seem not to fall into line, yet you still keep on doing them. Let me tell you'll be as frustrated as when you started. Why? because you lack periodic self-evaluation. What's periodic self-evaluation? Periodic self-evaluation is the time to time assessment of one's self. In other d, it is to judge your performance (value or condition) in a careful and thoughtful way.  Let me add this: For you to be successful in this life you must evaluate yourself periodically. Whether it is in academics, business or finance if you d...

Years back when I was in SS1, everyone around me described JAMB as a tough exam. You have to read and read, you must be exceptionally intelligent, you must be this and that ... I held on to this fear and by the time I was in SS3, most of my classmates registered themselves for JAMB but I refused to do the same. Instead, I told my dad I'll like to school in the Benin Republic (I had friends schooling there) and he kind of agreed. I was happy (I felt I have conquered my enemy - JAMB). A few weeks later, my dad called me and told me a story (one of those stories that touch the heart). He said for some reasons best known to him I'll not go to study in Benin. That day, you need to see me, I cried my heart out. That year passed, the following year I reluctantly registered for JAMB. I enrolled for an evening JAMB class where I was tutored. I became friends with the Secretary. She's so fond of me (her Boyfriend and I have the same names and so she called me 'namesake...

Let me begin with this quote: 'to be a non-entity is very easy but to be a known-entity is very difficult'. This implies to be useless in life is very easy but to be useful not just to yourself but to your society takes tremendous efforts. Before I proceed let's carefully study these words - 'non-entity' and 'known-entity' Non-entity = non + entity Known-entity = known + entity * Non - means 'of little significance : unimportant : worthless' * Entity - means 'being, thing, individual' Non + Entity = an individual of little significance  (a worthless person) * Known - means 'generally recognized' * Entity - means 'being, thing, individual' Known + Entity = 'an individual who is generally recognized' (a person of great significance). Now that we know the meaning of both parties, how do you recognize any of them when you come in contact with them? TRAITS OF A: (A) NON-ENTIT...

The term "process" according to Merriam Webster means "a series of actions that produce something or that lead to a particular result". Let me explain this using this illustration: When a child is born, after a while the child learns to crawl, the next - child tries to stand up (a lot of times the child falls down and sometimes gets his/her self injured), and then the baby learns to walk. All these actions later sum up into making that child a better adult. The question now is what happens if the child decides to skip one of these important actions? The truth still remains that you don't skip processes and get a better outcome. You can't eat your cake and still have it - it's impossible. The process of life comes with goodies and badies (either of the two that comes your way is meant to build and mould you into the celebrity you'll become). That heartbreak, setback, betrayal, denial ... are all part of the process that will const...
