You have to go through the worst to get the best.

2014-11-05T23:25:00.000-08:00

Sometimes, we all go through hard times, whereby it seems it not going to get better, but i will tell you, you aren't the same person yesterday, if you take a look back you will notice that things have changed. It hurts when you go through something that kills you inside but have to act like it doesn't affect you at all, cause that's the spirit that can carry you on over what BS you going through. Success is not final neither failure is fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts, what doesn't break you make's you stronger. It doesn't matter whether you fall, how hard you fall, how many times you fall; what matters is whether you get up. I will like you to ask yourself this question, There are 2 types of people: Those who truly desire success, and those who are trying to avoid failure. Which person are you?

Nigeria may have qualified for the last 16, but have Stephen Keshi’s team truly realised their potential at the World Cup this summer?

2014-06-28T10:23:00.001-07:00

It’s no longer news that the Super Eagles of Nigeria were the first African team to qualify for the party in Brazil, what is very much in the breeze is the fact the fact that they follwed-up that achievement by being the first African team to qualify for the second round.

While the Super Eagles have been joined by Algeria, their successes come in sharp contrast to the failings (and indignities) of Cameroon, Ghana and the Ivory Coast.

It hasn’t been a perfect campaign, however, and this feature considers the good alongside the bad.

The Surprise Inclusions
Particularly, they’ve been the ones that has surprised many the most, you cannot stop biting back your previous thought and verdict on them. Match by match they been improving their games and outstanding.

The less-fancied Michael Babatunde has been a handful for opposing sides whether playing through the middle or the flanks. The highlight of his outing being his darting run through the Argentine midfield, as well as his patient and well-calculated pass which created Ahmed Musa and Nigeria's first goal against Argentina, We might have to make do without him after he was stricken on the arm by a trademark shot from Ogenyi Onazi in that encounter.

Juwon Oshaniwa has also played his heart out at the left-back position. He's been massive running down the left wing defending or attacking and has made most forget about first choice Elderson Elchiejile. Though, his colleague Michael Uchebo might be popular for his look, his performance on the pitch so far has been the reverse.

eam Leaders
Surprisingly, Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo has impressed at the absence of first choice Godfrey Oboabona in the heart of defence alongside youngster Kenneth Omeruo. The ageing defender obviously had to experience a torrid time defending against Lionel Messi and Co. And has led the team expertly.

The only blemish on vice-captain Vincent Enyeama’s performance was former four-time World Best Player Lionel Messi's freekick (Argentina's 2nd goal in our 3-2 defeat), I had to be convinced by replays that every member of the Eagles defending wall left their headsets in the dressing room, though.

Prior to the match against Argentina, the LOSC Lille shot-stopper had gone 180 minutes without conceding a goal - a feat performed by him alone at Brazil. He's also had to pull off countless superb saves in all of the three group matches, the highlights being for Messi's first freekick and all of Angel Di Maria's efforts on goal.

In him we have a solid platform to build momentum in subsequent matches.

Stand-out PerformersForemost, Kenneth Omeruo has shown he can't be tamed and subdued by World Class players. He's been very solid in spite of the absence partner Oboabona.

Emmanel Emenike has also improved his performances after having to endure a frustrating evening against the Iranians. He's been a nightmare and a thorn in the flesh for defenders forcing his way past opponents with his intimidating figure before setting-up teammates.

Onazi has also been involved in the team's success.

Unfazed by his midfield partner’s obvious self imposed exile from the party, the 21-year-old has taken the overwhelming task in his stride.

Another impressive player so far has been Ahmed Musa, he has been the subject of criticism coming into this tournament and the opening match against the Iranians but has confidently picked his old self up. He particularly, was a nightmare for Argentina experienced right-back Pablo Zabaleta and by extension the whole Argentine team as he almost bagged a hat-trick to secure a draw for Nigeria,

The Technical Crew
The Big Boss responded to his critics both on and off the pitch.
On the pitch he did so by gaining Nigeria's first three points at the World Cup in 16 years, against Bosnia and subsequently almost mustering a draw against South American powerhouses, Argentina.
It has been his response off the pitch that has baffled, expecting fans and ex-internationals to get behind and acknowledge his team after a disappointing and unadventurous draw against group underdogs Iran. He should learn to absorb criticism (whether or not constructive) and reply in the best possible way, moreover, he must realise that he manages and directs 23 players plus 170 million fans.
He's been fantastic so far and will need to be at his tactical and decision-making best to progress to the next round.
The Eagles, in their achievement, in qualifying for the knock-out stages, have been Super. In performance, there is surely more to come.
Can Nigeria live up to their illustrious nickname against France in Brasilia?

10 Reasons YOU CAN Achieve Your Dreams10 Reasons YOU CAN Achieve Your Dreams

2012-08-20T02:08:00.001-07:00

Instead of realizing their dreams, too many people never get started, too busy, instead listing all the reasons why they cannot achieve their dreams.

Things like:

I do not have enough money.
I’m not talented.
I do not have enough knowledge.
I do not have enough experience.
I have failed many times in the past.
I’m not lucky.
Who I am to dream of making such an impact.
…and so on.

They defeat themselves before they even get started!
This is not what you deserve.
So, here are 10 reasons why YOU CAN achieve your dreams:
1. You can because it’s feels great!
“To be able to get out of bed and do what you love for the rest of the day is beyond words.” - John Schroeder
Your dream exists to turn your life into a masterpiece of joy and contribution. Doing what you love and living your life on your own terms are the best things you can do for yourself.
2. You can because it’s YOUR dream
Writer Richard Bach says, “You’re never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however.”
The dream that is born inside your heart will never exist, if you do not have the power to make it come true. That’s a timeless truth.
Since you have thought about it, then you have an innate ability to achieve it.
It’s so unique that only you can make it true.
3. You can because it shapes your future
Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
The world’s movers and shakers are those who believed in their dreams and persevered until they manifested what they have dreamt about.
Envision your dream and see by your heart’s eyes how it can change the world and have a huge impact on so many lives.
4. You can because you can land on the clouds
“I’m a dreamer. I have to dream and reach for the stars, and if I miss a star then I grab a handful of clouds.” -Mike Tyson
When you work on your dreams, you will create your best life possible. Even if you cannot reach the stars, you will at least land on the clouds.
5. You can because you are hungry
“If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.” -Les Brown
Nothing will feed your hunger for making a difference more than pursuing your dream.
It will add meaning to your life and make your efforts worthwhile. It will make you wake up every morning with exhilaration and enthusiasm.
As Les Brown says, “You gotta be HUNGRY”
6. You can because you don’t want to die again
“When you cease to dream you cease to live.” -Malcolm Forbes
If you ignore the love and light in your heart, your soul will die of starvation.
Too many people are living, but very few are actually ALIVE!
Following a dream is the only way to start living. When you dream, you become alive. And I do not think you want to ignore your dream and die again.
7. You can because you are a pioneer
“A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.” -Oscar Wilde
You will face criticism, not because you are wrong, but because you are a pioneer.
People are not used to see dreamers who have crazy ideas to make the world a better place.
Most people are so stuck in the rut that they do not believe someone can get out, spread his/her wings and fly high in the sky.
8. You can because you deserve it
“Dreams are the touchstones of our character.” -Henry David Thoreau
You deserve to have a big dream and to become remarkable. If you do not leave your mark in the world, no one will remember you.
Living small makes you small and you are born to be great. You have a dream because you have a strong character that strives to live big and be big.
9. You can because there is a problem that only you can solve
“Dreams are today’s answers to tomorrow’s questions.” -Edgar Cayce
You dream because you have a burning desire to solve a problem or fulfill a need that would make the world a better place.
You are our answer to our most difficult questions. You owe it to us and to the world.
10. You can because you’ve got the courage
“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” -Walt Disney
All what your dream needs is courage that will nurture it and make it grow beyond all limitations. And you have this courage within you.
If you’re passionate about it, unleash it. No matter what you think or what other people think, YOU CAN.
You can.
You deserve.
You owe it to yourself and to the world.
It’s time to believe in the beauty of your dreams and show the world the promise and brilliance of your legacy.

The Key to Making Life Unique and Worthwhile

2012-08-17T02:15:00.003-07:00

Now the key to make life really unique and worthwhile is to share. Sharing has a certain unique magic of its own. Here's what I learned about sharing ideas:

If you share an idea with ten different people, they get to hear it once, and you get to hear it ten times. So here's part of self-interest for yourself-- getting you even better prepared for the future. Share ideas. Share with your family, share with the people around you, share with other employees, share with your colleagues.

When one person shares with another, two things happen. The audience could be transformed, and so could the speaker. If you share with someone else, they could be transformed. You may have dropped in at the right time. This may be their moment. They've got three numbers dialed into the lock already, and if you say it well and say it right you'll be the fourth number that they can dial into the lock of their personal experience and the door will come open and there's opportunity they never saw before. The person who hears could be transformed.

But here's what else is exciting. The person who speaks could be transformed. Guess what we're all looking for--transformation for our new life. The new life tomorrow, the new life this month, the new life next year, the new life this year.

The caterpillar one day says, "I think I was made for more than this crawling on the ground." So the caterpillar climbs the tree, attaches himself to a leaf and spins the cocoon. Who knows what disciplined effort it takes to spin a cocoon. But something inside the caterpillar says, "I was designed for something more than being just a caterpillar."

And then when the cocoon is ready and it opens up, out comes a butterfly that flies away, maybe singing, "I believe I can fly! I believe I can touch the sky! I used to be a caterpillar on the ground, now I fly."

I'm asking you to go through such a metamorphosis. I'm asking you often to go through a period where you say, "New skills, new things are waiting for me," and part of this will come if you'll translate for other people what you feel in your heart and in your soul. As awkward as your language might be at first, don't hesitate to do it.

Here's what sharing does--it makes room for more. Key question, if this glass is full of water can it hold any more? If the glass is full of water, can it hold any more? And the answer is yes, yes, if you pour some out. So jot that down. If you want more, you've got to pour out what you've got, then you have the opportunity to receive more.

Now, unlike the glass that remains the same size when you pour some out; not so in consciousness human beings. Your capacity will increase the more you share. You'll get bigger and bigger and bigger.

Now why the self-interest wish to be bigger? Here's why: to hold more of the next experience. Some people can't hold much happiness because they're too small, their thinking is too small, their activity is too small, they're too small in their ability to share, they're just too small. Can't hold much, they're too small.

But the bigger you get, the more you will receive. When happiness is poured out, you'll get more. When joy is poured out on the nation, you'll get more. When bounty is poured out from the economy, you will get more, if you share what you've got and become bigger and bigger and bigger.

Now some people are not only small, they have their glass turned upside down. It's hard to get anything in. But if you come to every situation with an open mind, an open consciousness, ready to receive, I promise you will find the people that will share with you, and that will accept what you share with them.

To Your Success,

Omitola Olushola

366 words short essay on Good Manners

2012-08-13T12:02:00.005-07:00

Good manners are very important in life. They make our day to day life smooth and easy. A rich man has a crowd of flatterers around him and a powerful man may be obeyed by people just out of fear. But a man with pleasing manners is genuinely loved and appreciated by all. Good matures help a man to win friends easily.

A man with pleasing manners respects the feelings, and sentiments of people around him. He shows proper regard to his elders, loves his equals and is kind to those who are younger than him. Modesty and courtesy are essential traits of his personality. He is never proud or haughty and he takes great care not to hurt the feelings of other people. Good manners bring sunshine to life. A man with pleasing manners is jolly and gay. He has always a smile on his lips and he is mentally happy. Thus good manners enrich the personality of a man.

Good manners are vital for success in life. Nobody likes a rude person, but good manners endear a man to other. A shopkeeper who behaves rudely with his customers can never flourish in his trade, but one who behaves politely and pleasantly with others attracts a large number of customers. Patients always rush to a doctor who is sympathetic towards them. A leader cannot have a large follower unless he is polite to others. In fact good manners have a magnetic influence over the people.

The primitive people were savage and brutal. They rarely showed any concern for others. They found it difficult to keep their emotions under control. But civilization taught people to be considerate to others. Thus good manners are true signs of civilization.

Good manners cost nothing, but they bring about handsome rewards. When someone says "please" or "thank you" he actually finds himself in the midst of cheerful crowd. When someone is polite and soft spoken, he gets over many difficult situations in life.

Good manner are not, however, born with us. They have to be cultivated with great care. Childhood is the best period to cultivate good manners and so both parents and teachers have a great role to play.

Do not be so ignorant and gullible to assume that making money online is synonymous to YAHOO YAHOO. We have genuine and legal ways of making money online

I must say here that this is one of the easiest method I have ever come across in online money making. Perfect for an Internet newbie to make some fast and cool cash without investing so much.
This concept is simple. But, before we get started, we need our means of getting paid from this business.

Introducing LIBERTY RESERVE…

Liberty Reserve (shortened as LR) is an online payment processor that can be used in buying and selling. In this short step-by-step report, LR will be our means of making money from our business. Once the money is made into our LR account, we can then go and get websites like www.naira4dollar.com www.nairaexchangerates.com , and sell our LR to them. In essence, what I mean is this… if you make $200 from this business and the money has been paid into your LR account, all you need to do is just google search “buy/sell LIBERTY RESERVE in Nigeria”. A good number of websites like www.naira4dollar.com www.nairaexchangerates.com that buys LIBERTY RESERVE from people will shoot up.

You just contact them and tell them that you have LR for sale and you will have to transfer your LR from your account to their own LR account. If this is done, they will give you the raw cash equivalent to the dollar amount you transfer to them.

Input the LOGIN PIN and click on login.

And next is for us to fill our address information. See the one I did above. I am sure you understand it all. Yes! Do not let ZIP/POSTAL CODE give you headache. Ibadan is 234002, Lagos is 234001. To check for your town/state, just go to www.google.com and enter a query like, zip/postal code for “your city”.

Since we now have a liberty reserve account, it’s now time to start making money. But just before we start, we need a starting capital of $15 only. Yes! Just $15 is all that is required and you could be making quite over 100k monthly from this.
The $15 must be funded into your liberty reserve account. What do I mean? You must have $15 in your LR account to get started. How will you get this? You have to go to www.naira4dollar.com www.nairaexchangerates.com, or any other place where they sell LR and buy LR from tem. Normally, they sell LR for around #175/ $1 so, it means that if you need $15, you will have to pay them 15 x 175= #2,625 only. But, LR charges around 2% on every transaction. Therefore, it will be advisable that you buy $16 of LR. This will be 16 x 175 = #2,800 only.
This means, to work out what I want to teach you, you must have #2,800 and use it to buy $16 into your LR account. They will ask you for your LR and they will help you to transfer the money into your LR account.
Now that there is money in your LR, the job starts here.

The Alchemy of Creating Your Reality

2012-07-27T07:33:00.000-07:00

To create a new reality, change what you are paying attention to.

Our lives are an aggregate of what we've been paying attention to up until now. There are some subconscious underlying factors, but through awareness, we can alter these as well.

I'll provide various focus points as a framework to give you ideas, either beyond what you've already thought of, or, a deeper level of understanding of what you think and feel. You've already begun thinking more deeply about where you're placing your attention, the ball just started rolling, there's so much more (powerful experience) ahead.

THE QUESTION I'm most often asked is: "What do you mean I created this?" Well, if you're fearful about something in your life or of going forward in some area(s), or you're paying attention to the absence of what you want, you are placing valuable energy into the vibration of that very fear with your thoughts and feelings. That fear or lack will increase, by virtue of your attention to it, and more of it is magnetized to you... until you stop feeding it. Think of your thoughts and feelings as magnets and the physical expression of them as steel.

IT ONLY TAKES LITTLE SHIFTS in attention, deligently practiced, to experience what you really want. Move your attention toward what will serve and support you and your dreams. Once you begin manifesting your dreams, you'll want more, it doesn't stop. That's the nature of life, you, expansion

REALITY (the state of being actual or real) is subjective. [Taking place within the mind and modified by individual bias]. It is a reality that there are many people who live in poverty and it is a reality that despite economic factors, many people thrive financially. Which is true? Both are true, and everything in between, they are all reality. There are as many realities as there are individuals

BE IN SYNC WITH YOUR DESIRES: Creating reality is about attending to preferences that are in alignment with what you desire. You Most all of us have heard the definition of insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Isn't that what you're doing when you consistently worry and then wonder why you're not living your dream life? You create your reality either by unconscious default or conscious decision that is what as expression of your authentic self. Since your mind cannot hold two thoughts simultaneously, you may as well start choosing the thoughts and feelings that support your wanted reality.

YOUR ATTENTION IS YOUR RUDDER. The energy of the thoughts you think and the emotions you feel is your indicator as to where your ship is sailing. With just a few reminders to direct your attention, consciously and deliberately, you will know you are in control of your life. Your life is your universe, your world. What you choose to have as part of your world is completely your part, and how it shows up or unfolds into your physical manifestation is the universe's job. It is absolutely a co-creative process.

THE ABC'S TO EXPANSION®, is a program I created over ten years ago that has been helping my clients to use their minds and bodies, by developing a personal lexicon unique to their individual dreams that help them manifest their desires. With this process they all say they don't get 'lost' anymore. Or if they do, it's a very short duration, they can get back on track quickly.

HERE'S MY PROCESS: Working with new associations for each letter of the alphabet gives you s a greater framework with which to create more deliberately. As kids, when we learned the alphabet, A stood for Apple. In fact, all the letters were taught using association with objects, perfect for our age to learn to use associations so we could be on the same page to communicate with others. Thing is, we were never taught how to create our own alphabet, unique and individual. When you create this new alphabet, based on what's going on within you, you begin associating each letter with the state of being that you want to activate. Notice the difference between an object (Apple) and a state of being (Awareness). As the discerning, intelligent and highly creative adult that you are, wouldn't it be to your advantage to redefine those very basic associations you have about your desires (usually associations from others we've acquiesced to) to ones that will help you re-create a life more befitting the life you imagine for yourself? Of course! Staying sick will not make someone else well and staying poor will not make someone else richer. You can use your creative mind and your ability to feel sensations in your body to your advantage;

play with new associations that will empower you.

HERE'S AN EXAMPLE: I remember when I was in grade school, I had a line in a play that I completely forgot, then I started crying. I cried a lot for reasons I had no idea. For years, when I thought of speaking in front of people (not just groups, but most anyone in authority), I felt a knot in the pit of my stomach, I had to fight back tears and just felt generally miserable and small. Years later, after I studied and became a Master Hypnotist, I began to see the hidden subconscious programs running behind the scenes. After years of working with other, I realized we all needed our own individual way of handling the upsets and mis-qualified energy that stood in our way. Hypnosis was great, yet more importantly, my fascination with how the mind works made me ask better questions of myself. I 'cleared' much of my apprehension with speaking in public to sustain my business, but at the time it was purely a survival issue, I had to keep my business going. So when I realized we all needed our own inner language to expand, I knew it had to start with what we were familiar with. Voila! the alphabet. Using my ABC'S TO EXPANSION® I quickly saw the benefits. A little practice and any issue could be transformed. So with my new expansive 'alphabet,' I transformed all the misqualified energy around speaking and found my true voice. I may get nervous/excited before I speak, but it feel great. I went from trepidation to exhilaration... a very good thing!

5 STEPS TO "TURN ON" YOUR INNER CONFIDENCE

There is nothing more attractive than confidence. If you admire the confidence others exude, here are 5 Steps to "Turn On" your inner confidence so you can exude that confidence naturally in your outer world.

I use the word 'exude' because that's what takes place when inner confidence is strong... it is projected abundantly, it radiates from within and goes outward. Having the desire for confidence means you have the ability within, it's just currently dormant.

Confidence is one of the aspects of self you already own. If you're not experiencing it, you just haven't accessed it fully. With this in mind, as you go through the following steps, feel what comes up for you as you allow yourself to access what's already within you.

1. BEGIN WHERE YOU ARE and use what you have. You have thoughts, feelings and the ability to use your mind's eye. It's good news that you want to express the confidence you admire in others. True confidence is knowing how to use your thoughts and feelings to your advantage rather than succumbing to the lower energies that bring up your doubt and negative self talk. When you're not feeling confident, let that be a trigger to change the thought you're thinking to one that gives you a boost. Practice this, diligently (for even a day), test it, prove it to yourself.

2. REFRAME SELF-SABOTAGE. When we lack confidence, the feeling is usually an aspect of sadness. Let's do a little reframing here. When you feel sad, let it be time to use the SADD technique: Suspend All Doubt and Disbelief. When you suspend your self doubt and disbelief in yourself, you can "act as if" you are confident, this help you to get used to what confidence feels like. To acat as if is not faking it until you make it; it is literally training yourself. Like physical exercise, your feeling muscles must be exercised to enjoy the benefit. Practicing this SADD technique installs the sensations of confidence in your cellular memory. The more you practice, the quicker you access confidence when needed and soon it will come more swiftly.

3. THINK & FEEL Confidence. Notice how often your thoughts are 'anti-confident'. Simply by virtue of being alive and in any proximity to other human beings, we've learned though many experiences to be critical of ourselves. Our "critical mind" gets in the way and becomes a default mechanism that runs in the background, critiquing and ready to jump on any new, positive thought that pops up by default. The good news is that this can change more easily than you think by using your intention (thought) and sensation (feeling). Intend to be confident in this moment, then notice the sensation of this intention in your body (feeling).

The more you focus your attention on which thoughts you're paying attention to, the easier and more quickly you'll be able to recognize and replace the negative, unsupportive thoughts with positive, confidence building thinking. With your attention, you begin to fine-tune your thoughts in a way that allows only more like thoughts to enter your mind. Each successful thought and feeling builds upon the one before it, it's exponential and expands.

Adding sensations to the mix consciously will speed your ability to access the confidence you want to have. Every time you have a feeling of being 'less than,' are you fueling self-doubt or self-confidence? Feel the difference between can and can't. "Can't" will stop you in your tracks; "Can" will open you to possibility and empower you.

If you can remember only one experience in your life when you've actually felt any level of confidence at all, activate (focus on) that feeling. If you can't remember such an experience, imagine one and then, "act as if.' Then keep bringing up more and more feelings intentionally. The more you feel it, the more you'll feel it, and so will others. You'll soon be the one others are attracted to simply because you've accessed your inner confidence with practice so often that it just exudes from you.

4. SEE Confidence. Using your mind's eye, visualize yourself as confident. Begin collecting confident feelings by practicing seeing yourself as confident. When you use your imagination in this way, your imagination muscle strengthens ~ the more you see a confident image of yourself, the more quickly it matches the accurate view of your true self. Our minds work in images, so use your confidence images diligently and consistently.

5. 'BE' Confidence. Confidence is a vibrational expression of what you think, feel, and visualize. Being what you believe is confidence allows you to attract more and more like thoughts, feelings, and experiences to yourself. Be excited as your newly activated experiences of confidence unfold for you.

After acting on these five steps, with a bit of attention and practice, your confidence will no longer be dormant; through your intention, you will have turned it on. And sooner than you think, your confidence will be simply another wonderful expression of you that naturally attracts more of the same... with wonderful experiences unfolding.
