Look at the birds! They don’t worry about what to eat—they don’t need to sow or reap or store up food—for your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are. Matthew 6:26 TLB

There was a King, he had 10 wild Dogs and he used them to torture and eats all ministers who made mistakes. So one of the ministers once gave an opinion which was wrong, and which the king didn’t like at all; so he ordered that the minister to be thrown to the Dogs. So the minister said I served you 10 years and you do this to me? Please give me 10 days before you throw me in with the dogs so the King agreed In those 10 day the minister went to the guard that was guarding the Dogs and told him he wants to serve the Dogs for the next 10 days ; the guard was baffled but he agreed, so the minister started feeding the Dogs, cleaning for them, washing them and providing a sort of care and comfort for them; And so 10 days were off and the king ordered that the minister be thrown to the Dogs for his punishment. The minister was thrown in but everybody was amazed by what they saw and said “what happened to the dogs”? Then the minister said to the King “I served the dogs for only 10 days an...

You might not be proud of all the things you’ve done in the past, but that’s okay. The past is not today. Here are 11 things to leave behind and grow beyond : 1. Letting other people write your life’s story . – You could spend your whole life worrying about what other people think of you, or what they want for you, but it won’t get you very far. If you don’t take charge and design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? NOT MUCH! Read The Last Lecture . 2. The fear of making mistakes . – Past mistakes should teach you to create a wonderful future; not cause you to be afraid of it. Be less afraid of making a mess out of your life. For oftentimes, our greatest achievements and our most beautiful creations ascend from the emotions we live, the lessons we learn, and the messes we make along the way. Just ask a poet, an artist, a songwriter, a lover, or a parent; in the long-run things rarely turn out as pl...

We all want to be winners. We all want to succeed. So why then do so many of us struggle indefinitely and come up short? It has something to do with how we think, what we focus on, and how we live each moment. Here are a few ideas on why winners win and losers lose.  Losers fail once and quit. Winners fail a thousand times and eventually succeed.  Losers look for success at the finish line. Winners experience success along the way.  Losers work to make money. Winners work to make a difference.  Losers buy things. Winners build things.  Losers see things they don’t understand and get discouraged. Winners see things they don’t understand and get curious.  Losers talk. Winners communicate.  Losers attempt to conquer the world in one shot. Winners add up all their small victories.  Losers expect certain outcomes. Winners prepare themselves for the unexpected.  Losers seek respect. Winners earn respect.  Losers stare at the problem. Winners look around for...

A parenting style is the overall emotional climate in the home, it can be 1. Authoritative parenting - Authoritative parents rely on positive reinforcement and infrequent use of punishment. Parents are more aware of a child's feelings and capabilities and support the development of a child's autonomy within reasonable limits. There is a give-and-take atmosphere involved in parent-child communication and both control and support are balanced. Research shows that this style is more beneficial than the too-hard authoritarian style or the too-soft permissive style. An example of authoritative parenting would be the parents talking to their child about their emotions. 2. Authoritarian parenting - Authoritarian parents are very rigid and strict. They place high demands on the child, but are not responsive to the child. Parents who practice authoritarian style parenting have a rigid set of rules and expectations that are strictly enforced and require rigid obedience. When the ru...

The only explanation why a convex lens lights a paper kept under it while it faces sun is focus. With focus much can be done with very minimal effort and without focus little is done with maximum effort. Focus is all about being able to know the few things that matters the most and putting in all your resources to them to achieve the best possible result. Many things are seeking attention but few things merit your attention; you can’t be jack of all trade and master of all. In professional ladder, people start with general philosophy and narrows down to one philosophy; you can’t find a professor of general medicine but of an arm of medical science, that is focus. HOW TO BE FOCUSED There is a natural tendency in man to be involved in too many things at a time; variety is the spice of life and monotony breed boredom. But in many instance, having result demands focus and there is a how to focus. 1. Define your assignment – you must have a good knowledge of what you are out to achiev...

God is the perfect creator and maker of all good things; every good and perfect gift in life comes from Him – James 1:17 every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. He is always thoughtful in His creation and makes great provision for every of His creature. The account of creation attested to this as there was no animal until there was plant for animal to feed on and no plant before light needed for photosynthesis; that is a great planning. Also there was no woman until there was a man and not just a man but a man already in need of a woman in his life. I will love to say that God creates in pairs, male and female He created them – Genesis 1:27. For every male there is a female created as well, but it demands time and patience for them to locate each other. To explain further this truth, the word said “not one shall lack her mate” - Isaiah 34:16. So lady there is a man for you a...

Skill is an ability and capacity acquired through deliberate, systematic, and sustained effort to smoothly adaptively carry out complex activities or job function involving ideas (cognitive skill), things (technical skill), and/or people (interpersonal skill). Skill is a product of experience and practice, it is not just what you can do but how you do what you can do. Training and repeated practice are enhancers of skill; so skill is acquired and is not transferable. Knowledge which is vital connect to skill can be transferred through teaching and learning but skill comes through conscious and repeated practice. There is a great relationship between time and skill; it takes time to develop skill or skill is acquired over time. There is no quick fix to acquiring skill; one must be ready to go through a process to have it but the time varies from one person to another depending on interest and natural bent. TYPES OF SKILLS 1. Cognitive skills are the abilities to gain meaning and k...
