Bottled Emotion

Image
Emotion is the name we give to our behaviour. Behaviour is the name people give our actions. For every action, there was an issued command. And every issued command is a response to every received action. Whenever anyone, be it your boss, parent or friend vent on you their anger, always know and remember -- the anger is not for you. It wasn't your fault, you only triggered their brain by your behaviour. You made their brain remembers a certain thing which they are unconscious of too. Take for example, you boss's wife who he really loves, cares and could kill for, was discovered to be involved in extramarital affair the night before. Your boss has been thinking of this throughout the night. He didn't yelled at the wife throughout the night -- he was nodding YES throughout the night as his wife was begging . On getting to work the next day, you went unknowingly to his office to demand for a raise in your salary. You know him so well  he would be glad to give you the raise

Don't risk it, just do it

“To succeed, you have to take a risk. Get out of your comfort zone,” I heard or read in more than one place, can’t remember. Hey! It is true, you have to go out of your comfort zone but never risk it; rather do it. That sounds weird? Of course, I know. The word risk always scares us, but the word DO doesn’t, we rather procrastinate. To attain anything in life, you have to do things you are not really comfortable with. Nothing different is attained with same. What is expected is always the result. There is nothing intriguing as an adventure; it is full of surprises. Doing things, you have never done before is like an adventure, it enables you for a lot and great surprises. This is not a book theory, it is rather an excerpt from my life and that of others I have studied. But let me really warn you again, never risk anything; consider it as something you are doing. Expect something different from planned. Recently, I had to resume an internship I applied for, in a state vir

Redefining your Academic Excellence by FOLARIN OLUWASAYO

History cannot forget some names; these people worked when others slept, and they kept pushing when others sing the impossibility chorus. You can say they are lucky but it is crystal clear they had their challenges too even if not greater than yours but they never gave up. One of these people is Albert Einstein - the father of modern physics. Albert couldn’t speak fluently till he was nine years old, and he was denied admission at Swiss Federal Polytechnic in Zürich, he failed to meet the requirements. Albert, the young boy that couldn’t speak fluently later lectured in renowned institutions around the world. Michael Dell, the founder of Dell Inc., gained admission to study Medicine at the University of Texas. In his dorm, he started selling upgraded kits for personal computers. Apparently, school was not giving him enough ample time to focus on his business, he dropped out to continue his business and 12 years later, this decision made him a billionaire. In 1992, aged 27, he became

New Year Agenda

What says your time? What is today’s date? I am sure this is not the first time you are seeing that time. But this is the first time you are seeing the date – it comes once and never returns. What makes each day distinct is not the time, rather the date. A clock is a machine that repeats its day activity irrespective of the date. It never changes. The only thing permanent is change – I am telling you now with great assurance that the only thing permanent is the clock routine. Only one way leads to its door. Date is an event that occur once and never repeats itself irrespective of who demand for its repetition. Date is a friend of no one. Time could always be manipulated; you can delay a meeting of 2 o’ Clock till 3 o’ Clock (African time). Date can’t be delayed – no wonder there is nothing like African date. A lot of people live their life in accordance to the clock believing they are keeping to time. Life of a clock is simply running different race the same way. Its ha

How to Handle Regrets

Regret is part of life. It is an evidence that you exist; an evidence that you are truly human. It signifies that you have conscience. And no human, no matter how brutal they might be is without conscience. Conscience can never be killed; it can only be suppressed. Cogito ergo sum – Rene Descartes Translation: I think therefore I am Conscience is our silent soul but the number one  noise maker in the class of integrity – Trivalence There are two kingdoms of regrets, depending on the way the regret is being handled: 1.        Hell of regret and 2.        Heaven of regret. HELL OF REGRET This is the kingdom of regret most people find themselves. Its population and predicted future immigrant exceed that of regrets heaven by more than 1000%. Folks in this kingdom have no reason of being thankful for those things that got them there in the first place. They are the best candidate to vie for the post of the President of suicide nation. No wonder the high rate of sui

Hibernation and Active State

To hibernate simply means to be inactive for some period of time due to certain factors. In life, to succeed you must learn to hibernate; not just to hibernate but know when to. A fish never hibernates in the raining season - mud fish know the dry season is the right time to get deep into the mud to hibernate. Whenever you generate a great idea you would like to execute, don't dash straight to its execution; get hibernated. At this time, even your friends might think you are unserious. But this is the time for you to strategize. One of my mentors Mark Cuban illustrated one of this hibernation scenario ''...Nothing  but  the  best  as  I prepared  for  my journey into  entrepreneurial  territory  again. I  could  say I was  preoccupied  with how  to  get  my new business  off  the  ground,  that  while  my friends  got  drunk,  did stupid  tourist  tricks  and  ate  at  greasy spoons,  I sat  by the pool  on the  one  chaise  longue  chair  with rust  on the  clean side
