BEHIND THE SMILE

Something happened one day and I noticed it's being like that all around . On that faithful day , a friend and I were delegated to take a guest to his apartment and while we were on the elevator I suddenly noticed we've been smiling at all what the man had been saying even when it's not funny , I had felt my humor level was faulty, so after we were done with the assignment , I asked my friend if all the man had been saying was funny ,she said 'no' and I asked her why she was smiling and laughing , she answered and said 'it won't be polite if we were just with a straight face and I don't think it will encourage him" .... At that point , I knew she was right but I was not convinced on why I was opening teeth at irrelevant discussion. I decided to ask few friends why they smile when they greet people even when they are not in good mood or good terms with the person . Mayb I should ask you why you do that too( that's if you smile )...the best answer I got was " I Dont know if I do ,but If i did smile while greeting you ,it's probably because you worth having my smile "( now you know why it's my best answer for the question) . Does that mean some particular people are worth having your smile ? What if I Don't feel like shining teeth does that mean I have not greeted someone enough? Isn't it awkward smiling around without a purpose? Or maybe people just want to put that hardship they are facing away and cover it up with a smile , but for how long? 

 

I have come to an understanding that we all are not all the same , the way we handle our issues is far different from one another and life they say is not smooth ,there are ups and downs , difficult situations happen in our lives that weigh us down and stops us from smiling attimes. Our sadness doesn't solve issues or make it any better. Let's put ourselves at the receiving end of the smile , it still doesn't solve our problems but it makes us feel loved and makes us remember that theres always light at the end of the tunnel .So therefore , let's give it back the way we want it ,let our smile be real ,knowing fully well that not smiling doesn't change people's issues but encourages people around . My dear friends ... SMILE because your smile is a reason for many others to smile . Smiling is the best way to face every problem,to crush every fear and to hide every pain. And guess what? An everyday smile makes you a day younger.

10 RARE ABILITIES IN HUMAN

Do you know that we have abilities to do some certain things while others can't ? Facts proved that only 60-65% can do these things . Most of it ,are genetically inherited while some people build up themselves to be able to do them . Here are the 10 rare abilities ;

1. Ability to roll the tongue 

2. Ability to wink

3. Ability to wiggle your ear

4. Ability to raise one eyebrow

5. Ability to twitch the nose 

6. Ability to tickle yourself 

7. Ability to lick your elbow 

8. Ability to snap your fingers 

9. Ability to touch the toe without bending the knee 

10. Ability to whistle 

If you can do all of these, that means you are part of the people I consider as 'extra-human'... There are rare set of people and unique being. For those that can't do any... It doesn't make you less important or unique than those that can ... It just mean that you are not genetically inclined to do it and part of your Brain needs to be developed more . Its believed that human being make use of  only 10% of their brain and that the percentage can always increase, based on how well we use our brain. We've all got to exercise our brain just like our muscles. 
Just so you know , I am really good at eight out of ten ,of the list above....working on the rest though . Doesn't matter what you think ,I am beautifully and wonderfully made.

PHONY PEOPLE

             I am this, I am that , is that really who you are? Or we just enjoy deceiving people ? Some can't do without lying , just to cover up when they are almost caught. Is it that we are ashamed of the person we are or we shy of who we becoming? I use to think it happens only in the movies until I came across one phony girl. Guys, am not condemning her or anybody but please it's irritating, we can be ourselves rather than being anybody. For those still wandering what this is about, it's about' being fake, deceitful, dishonest, pretentious' that's what 'phony' means. Before we start crucifying people, let's start with ourselves , are we any of those attributes "being phony "describes? 

Do you fake accents when talking with friends? Do you claim to be who you not? Do you borrow material things or lend money just to show off? If you do these things , then you are one of the phony people on earth and we are talking about you. The world is so sick of it, please be real for ones and let's really get to know you . Another dictionary meaning also describes phony to be 'not true, not real' ,then ,those that are always on wigs,fixed lashes,fixed nails ,make ups , are they part of this category? What about those that are basically in a profession for the money and not purpose and passion? Those that not happy studying the course they are studying but only smiling because their parents wants them to study that, are they also part of the people we talking about? That's for all of us to decide. No matter how hard you try to fit in ,it doesn't change the fact that it's not you, it's fake , you an impostor and a liar.  

They say it's a free will and we all responsible for our lives, it's left to you and I to live life the way we want to. Weather good or bad, fake or true, there's always a reward for everything .

LADIES AND LATENESS

I have always wanted to give up on some ladies about lateness including myself . It has become an almost constant and alarming issues around . Not that we don't  like to be punctual to classes, meetings , gathering or events but we just find ourself being late. Even when we try our best , put our effort to stop , we still end up in it . So I thought I could just do a little digging before concluding on myself about changing .

Isn't it worth the wait too? We look good most times to places and so I think people complaining out there needs to know that we need time to get ready for whatsoever occasion we attend. Moreso ,bathing is a whole lot of job ,due to the fact that we have a lot of matters we attend to (for those that understand better). Picking up clothes to wear is another issue to deal with, shoes to match and bag to fit in ,is a war on it's own, applying make up too has it's own share of it.
 While all of these are there to think about, i discovered that they are not the real issue , Infact they can't be counted as reasons for our lateness . Women are just touchy creature, they want to do extra things ,some need extra time to get ready, some are indecisive,they don't know what to wear and so try outfits on before reaching a conclusion on what to wear eventually ,some ladies are attention seekers and do not like to get ready early because they want to look as fresh as possible and hence lateness comes in.

Women generally are programmed to ignore time , lack sense of urgency , have distractions in thoughts and lack poor time management skills . With all of those reasons, none is tangible enough to make us perpetual late comers . Ofcourse not all ladies have lateness as an issue to deal with, I am not the judge here , all I want is to be a better person and also make somebody one.

Being late ,shows you are disrespectful to others, after all those early and waiting are not jobless ,being late shows lack of commitment and shows irresponsibility . Therefore , since lateness is an unconscious habit, let become conscious of time , let's plan not to be on time , that is, let's plan our time before we set out to do the things we plan to do ,let's learn to put ourselves in the shoes of others and above all , let's learn to manage our time and also do the right things at the right time . That old saying ' it's ladies prerogative to be late ' needs to be nullified , We can't be that , we are examples to our children, children to come and generations . We need that change in our society and we are the change for generations to see.

MEN AND THEIR EGO

Men are great people in our world today, no doubt about that. Imagining a world without Men would be a struggle. In marriages , men are referred to as the head and women are to submit to the head. All of this shouldn't be taken for granted by men. Men are known for their ego , its huge and can be destructive . I am inquisitive to know what their gain is or will be for being so full of ego or probably egocentric and some of these men even suffer from it. it's won't be of any harm if they can swallow it alittle. Most times when they are wrong ,they dont bring themselves to apologize for their wrongs and they feel so comfortable doing that. They turn tables around often and make us feel like the wrong people .Thank God for God , that gives us the strength ,that makes us the strong-willed being and courage to swallow our pride and to say 'sorry ' even when we are not wrong.  Stories of divorce today ,yesterday's ego is probably one of the reasons and deep down within them, they know it but can't just face the truth.

If the meaning of ego is self-esteem, self-importance, self-worth , self-respect, self-image, self-confidence , does that mean we don't have it too? Or we neglect it and that's why we easily take blame that aren't ours?
I hear some men say we have to learn to accept them as they are , and who said we can't be accepted as we are too? While some say ' don't hurt a man's ego ' should women's ego be hurt then?

I am not a feminist and am not against men either, I am not saying some women are not full of ego too rather am I saying all men are full of ego , the percentage is high for men .Let's all cut it off a little, to make a better you and I. Ego won't make you richer , won't make me taller and won't make us bigger.

The best antonym of ego is found out to be "selflessness ", that became powerful in my mind because it's not easy being human and not act like one .It takes great minds to take that in. Being egoless makes us more responsible , more respectable and more matured. Trust me , the world would be a better place if people stand up to take blame when at fault,humble and not too full of themselves. 'EGO is the only requirement to destroy any relationship, so be a bigger person, skip the 'E' and let it 'GO'.

WHAT HUMAN BEINGS CANT DO AT THE SAME TIME AND WHY

Human beings are complex and are different from other animals in so many UNIQUE ways. We are capable of doing so many things, but do you know that human beings are the only mammals that can't breathe and swallow at the same time apart from infants? Oh yes, we can't do both, even our brain cant help it. While some are aware of this truth, others don't know why.

Humans are able to produce a wide range of sounds due to the descended larynx (commonly called the voice box,larynx is an organ in the neck of mammals involved in breathing, sound production, and protecting the trachea against food aspiration. It manipulates pitch and volume of sound produced) that causes longer vocal tracts.
The theory that gave reason why larynx descend states that longer vocal tract helps us to make lower noises in order to sound larger and more threatening,giving facts why humans are territorial than other animals. The theory was further supported by the fact that in males , the voice box or larynx descends further during puberty giving reason why men has a deeper voice than female.

As the larynx descends further ,the passageway for food and air space becomes connected. This connection gave rise to an epiglottis (is a flap that is made of elastic cartilage tissue covered with a mucous membrane, attached to the entrance of the larynx. It projects obliquely upwards behind the tongue and the hyoid bone, pointing dorsally) which either covers the trachea (passage to the lungs) or the esophagus (passage to the stomach) when we are swallowing or breathing .

Once the larynx drops, breathing and swallowing requires more coordination such that while you are swallowing ,breathing is suppressed in the brain stem and so ,if you're unconscious you don't breathe-in your saliva especially while we are asleep. There is also a pattern we unconsciously stick-to while eating 'exhale - swallow - exhale'. Through that pattern ,the body avoid incoming air trying to carry little bits of food or water into your lungs.Once you get foods or liquids in your lungs ( often called swallowing the wrong way), it causes discomfort and coughing as the lungs try to expel or remove the food or liquid.

Infants can suck and breathe at the same because of the position of the hyoid bone and larynx. When a baby is born , the larynx and hyoid bone is situated higher up in the nasal cavity than in adult , which makes it possible for them to drink and breath without aspiration or choking on liquids or foods. Infants have this ability until 9months after birth during which the larynx drops or descends ,giving them a wide range of sounds for speech.

REASONS BEHIND OUR FORGETFULNESS

After reading for hours, for probably tests,examinations or interview and one end up not remembering all one read, can be annoying ...or probably entering into the kitchen or some other places and all of sudden you are trying to remember why you there in the first place can be funny. The brain controls our memory but how the memory of the brain works can sometimes be individually controlled. Not everyone forget things, research has shown that a particular type of memory called Eidetic memory exists. Eidetic memory is an ability to recall images, sounds, or objects in memory after only a few instants of exposure, with high precision for some time after exposure,without using mnemonics. It occurs in a small number of children and generally is not found in adults. Except for this, adult are prone to forget details of somethings. Here are some of the reasons why we tend to forget things;
1. Failure to store information in memory in the first place
2. Failure to retrieve information from the memory
3. Interference of memories competing with other memories
4. Intentionally forgetting things associated with a trouble or traumatic event
4. Decay theory of forgetting- research has shown that information stored in short-term memory last for 5-30s and if it's not rehearsed,the memory fades. It has also stated that, the length of time between the memory and recalling that information, determines whether the information will be retained or forgotten.

Here are also ways to help remember information:
1. Try to limit interference - do one thing at a time , avoid wandering minds
2. Mentally rehearse what you are doing and hold it in mind until you are finished with the task
3. Train your brain to recall information by practicing or mnemonic strategy
4. Pay attention and be focused .

The above isn't a cure for forgetting information because our brain deliberately makes us forget things to prevent insanity. The human brain is still the most complex object on the face of the earth and we all function differently because we all have a unique brain.

HAPPINESS...

Often times when I check within, I just know for sure that the best way to live life ,is to be happy living life. This is because I keep learning everyday that happiness is not a goal, it's a by-product of a life well lived . It probably might not make sense to some and to others, it might . Have you felt happiness starved once in your life? If you have, then you should understand what that means. So many things happen around us and the best way to go about it ,is to know that being sad won't solve anything but when you are happy, you've won already. Some people somehow term happiness around someone such that when that one person fail in fulfilling what you want them for, you are sad. I beg to differ, it doesn't necessarily mean someone isnt suppose to make us happy , am just saying it shouldn't be built around one single person or one thing. Yes, being fulfilled in life or being successful can make you happy within and out but are we suppose to wait till then before we can say we are happy?

Life brings struggle, thrive and challenges at times, but there is still happiness in life ,although it depends on how well you living your life. Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect,it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. Students worry too much about school and exams, graduates worry about jobs, meanwhile workers worry so much about bills and salary. While singles worry about getting married, married couples worry about their children, and even retiree also worry about when they will be paid but then when life gives us so many things to worry about, let's find those things that makes us happy and smile. Happiness is not the absence of problems or challenges it's the ability to deal with them. Your achievement , passion, hobbies, partner , jobs, belief, friends can make you happy but most importantly you can make yourself happy because happiness depends mostly on oneself. A happy life,is what makes you want to live more. It requires contentment ;be contented with what you have, being grateful ; grateful to life and what it brings and finally belief; belief in God ,keep believing ,be happy , don't get discouraged things will work out.

10 TRUE FACT ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY

To know, means to be aware of something,to be informative means you are ahead of others that are not aware of what you know. Here are the ten interesting things I think you need to know about the human body.....

1. The eyes stays the same from birth but the ear and nose never stops growing
2. The corneas are the only tissue that don't require blood
3. When awake,the human brain produces enough electric current that can power a small light bulb
4. The feet have half a million sweat glands that produces over a pint of fluid everyday
5. The acid in the stomach is enough to digest zinc
6. Strongest muscle in the body is masseter muscle ( jaw muscle)
7. If the human eyes was a digital camera ,it would have 576 megapixel 
8. The thigh bone is stronger than a concrete
9. The smallest bone in the body are in your ear which is approximately 0.11 inch
10. The human skull is made up of 26 different bones.

ANGER AND ITS FURY

     One thing I did not learn on my own was how to get angry or how to control it . Anger can't be learnt. it's just a normal feeling the brain translate as one of the emotions of the mind. It happens when you are annoyed or when  you vexed up , pissed off over something. It's a strong passion or emotions of displeasure which is usually excited or stimulated by a real or supposed injury to one'a self or others . But the truth is that the real reason why we sometimes get angry is ego. Have you ever thought about it? we have questions like this when we are angry; why will he do that to me? Why will she act like that? Why will he say that? Emotions, especially anger revolves around one's self. The question is why should we allow people control our emotions ? Why should we allow someone tamper with it ,in the first place? It's not theirs at all , they don't have right over it . When we get angry , that's what happens, We allow that person control us into the things we don't want to do or into the things we don't want .

'Anger' is a choice, as well as a habit. It is a learned reaction to frustration, in which you behave in ways that you would rather not. In fact, severe anger is a form of insanity. You are insane whenever you are not in control of your behavior. Therefore, when you are angry and out of control, you are temporarily insane'. 

The Words we say can't be taken back , the things we destroy can't be mended, the scars we cause, will always be there , so why do we allow ourselves to be used for destruction; destruction of ones feelings, destruction of friendships e.t.c

Everyone has a right to get angry but of what gain is it to us? Have you ever thought of walking away when someone try controlling your emotions? That's the best answer for it . when angry, walk away and tell yourself the stress of shouting, isn't worth it. I am not here to condemn anybody , In fact who am I to do that ? I have gotten angry countless times before but what I have learnt and still learning is that we are all unique in our being , it requires patience to understand everyone around us . "Anger may repast with you for an hour, but not repose with you for a night. The continuance of Anger, is hatred; the continuance of hatred becomes malice; that Anger is not warrantable that has suffered the sun to set on it". Patience is a virtue and patience is what I have chosen , I don't know about you.

KNOW YOUR RIGHT

 We know little about our body and the doctors know almost all about it. We know little about our hair style and the stylists know almost all about it. We know little about houses (at least we know the houses we will like to live in) the constructors still knows almost all about it. Limited is our knowledge of cars even if the choice of which to buy still ours to make, the carmaker knows more about the automobile than the average car user.  How then do we know close to nothing about the law? Even if it’s the duty of the law makers and the enforcers to know all there is about the law, it is your responsibility to know all there is about YOUR RIGHT. 

In my findings, a lot of folks don’t know their right. We allow the policemen and other law officials to manipulate us or deprive us of OUR RIGHT. I once heard of an innocent man that was arrested by law enforcement agents without a Warrant of Arrest. It is pertinent to know that a man can choose not to go with a law enforcement officer(s) if a Warrant for his arrest is not shown.

Do you know you have some rights in your dealings with law enforcement officers? Some of these rights include:  

-       The right to remain silent. If you are not been reminded of this law by the officer ,you can remind the officers if you are been pressured to speak.

-       You have the right to refuse to consent to a search of yourself, your car or your home;

-       You have a right to a lawyer if you are arrested. You can call one immediately after your arrest or one could be provided to you by the State on request.

How many know that a police request is not an order? I bet you don't know that keeping handshake with a policeman must be visible. I am sure by now you are agreeing with me that there is a lot about YOUR RIGHT you don’t know.

There are few other rights we should be aware of anywhere we find ourselves, examples include; your rights when you fly on a plane, rights as an employee etc.

One thing I am sure many are guilty of, is signing documents before reading through the terms and conditions. Even if breaking a term of service might not necessarily be a crime, it's still a good idea to know what you are agreeing to. There are some laws we often break without realizing. Some of this includes- connecting to secure Wi-Fi networks without appropriate permission, punishable under Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. This law makes it a crime to gain unauthorized access to a computer or a website, wireless routers etc. Using fake names on the internet is also punishable under Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

How about betting with friends/family/relatives? The Illegal Gambling Act makes this an offense.

 So now you agree that you have not been taking your right serious like the Doctors, the Stylist, Constructors, and Carmakers take their job. YOUR RIGHT is your job as a citizen and as an individual, hence you should know more about it than any other person.

While traveling to other countries, take time to read through their laws in order to avoid violating them. If we are truly good citizens of our different countries, let us read through the laws of our countries and know about them.KNOW YOUR RIGHT, ITS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

EXCESSIVE TALKING

Have you heard of  'communication addiction disorder'? For those that haven't , Its a disorder that describes people who talk excessively. it is also known as 'talkaholism'. 'This disorder is the incessant and seemingly uncontrollable tendency for some people to talk to one another, either one-on-one or in groups' . Research has shown  that a significant portion of the students have this disorder, and statistics has also point to a similar proportion in the general population. Talking excessively can be related to the necessity of being in constant communication with other people, even when there is no practical need for such communication.

Any exchange of ideas through conversation can be termed 'talking'. It can also be exchange of thoughts , convey ideas, express in speech. If this is the main aim of talking, then people who excessively talk, abuse it. 'Talkative' according to the word-web means  'full of trivial conversation, unwisely talking too much'. Its sad to know some people ,somewhere somehow, are described with such word.

Excessive talking is not to be confused with rapid and fast talkers or when one is excited and just can't get the words out fast enough. This is a temporary situation which form a social standpoint, it's quite harmless and we often experience it from time to time . Even those we often refer to as people of few words ,also experience it. Infants often talk excessively when first learning how to speak which is understandable . Most children grow out of this and a few do not. For those who do not, it is referred to as attention deficiency hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence and adulthood.

We all don't  like to be referred to as a 'motor-mouth' or 'a non-stop talker' yet some are exactly that .If we don't have none of the above disorder, why do we talk excessively ?
For most people, a conversation is a fantastic opportunity to gain insights, get to know someone better, learn more, and generally exchange information. Some say it's their personality while other say it's temperamental. When we begin to talk more than we listen,then it calls for our attention . People who converse well are at an advantage, professionally and socially . But the problem arise when we talk far more than required. Excessive talking can be socially embarrassing, Not everyone like Interacting with someone who talks non-stop especially the reserved ones around us. Most of the time,it becomes purposeless due to the fact that good points out of such conversation has been exceeded and the rest becomes out of point. Friends avoid one another over similar issue and some friendship are lost because of it.Excessive talking doesn't bring any form of respect but rather low esteem to individual. Let's imagine this, if the rate at which we talk is being measured and there's a decrease in height as one excessively talk,how many of us will still have heights to measure ? Some might have disappeared into the mass, who knows ?

Let's not talk our lives away, bearing in mind that words spoken out are out already and can't be taken back . What we say matters to people , how we say them denotes who we are and the rate at which we say them ,qualify our personality. To avoid offensive talk, apologies on words said, it's best we caution ourselves on how our conversation goes . It's requires awareness of being an excessive talker, taking responsibility and tackling it consciously . Be a good listener and be sensitive to the needs of others through their spoken words and the emotions it comes with. Let's also be calm in our response and reaction to others.  Improve on how best you live your life, generations are looking up to you.

SOME OF THE COOLEST INVENTIONS

The earth ,they say is always revolving and so many new things revolves in it . Everyday, there are at least one idea of invention in the world . Modernization has indeed made life easy and simple and we must commend our inventors for great their works. Here are some of the coolest inventions;

1. TESLA's electric car - A car powered by electricity for those that don't like spending time at gas stations, for those that don't like the odor of petrol . It cheap in countries where electricity is cheap.
2.  House that walks - House that helps to live wherever you want to (so I heard) and it's powered by solar  energy. 
3. Wireless electricity /WI-tricity- involves plug-in coil that creates a magnetic field which power object as far away as 8 ft (2.4m). This is probably for those that don't like carrying  charging wires around .
4. Reuseable candles - These type of candles are reuse in a way that the burning wax arrange itself and used again. Saves money and prevent wax wasting away.
5. Self making bed - a type of bed that arrange itself in seconds. Good for students who can't spare time out of their tight schedule for laying their beds.

            We talk about this inventions because some people somewhere sat down to make their ideas achievable .These has gone a long way in bringing comfort and convienence to lives . For those that have ideas on somethings, don't let it die in you , build them , make them exist in the world . 'Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone'.  Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something ,stand in the way of your doing it. The time will surely pass anyway; we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use. Don't forget that 'The starting point of all achievement is desire,Weak desire brings weak results '. Inventors out there, your works won't be complete if there is no 'hair making machine ', the one that makes hair faster and saves time. It would be appreciated by ladies that don't like sitting too long making their hair, like me. We are all waiting and the world is also waiting. Please share with me on what you think is not yet invented or the invention you think is cooler than the ones I mentioned.

NIGERIA, WE HAIL THEE...

             Fellow Nigerians like me, we can't continue to condemn our country because so many things unravel in it everyday neither are we to commend her. It's so sad to know that unpleasant things happen around and it's not favorable to majority of us. There's a saying that says ' if the head does not function well, the rest of the body can't function well too'. The head in this case represent the leaders or rather people in power including those that rule the country without even being the public figure. I have seen and read so many articles or write up or tags on the campaign going on, and I am not here to campaign for any party or anybody. Let's all not forget that they promise us all kinds of things and they end up doing otherwise. Some even try to do what they promised the first year or term and they stop. Haven't you noticed that those that will do tangible things ,end up stepping down ,jailed or even die at some point of their campaign or regime? I have names on my head to list out,but what will it do or what will it change presently? In past years , whether there's campaign, rally or presidential debate ,Nigeria knows her next leader without election. You right, I might be wrong but Somethings are just wrong somewhere and it has to stop one day. Maybe the primaries they do is just part of their tricks on us, so that somebody they can control campaigns against other people in other parties, some other people can control. The cycle keeps going around just like that and it's indeed tiring.
            Is there no one that can stand up to that position of change? Someone Nigerians (PLUS those who want change MINUS those who want Nigeria to divide ) can trust for this work? Are there no people that can work together to achieve this amongst us? All of these aren't the right questions. But rather,the question is Who? Who will see money , luxurious lifestyle and still do the right thing? Who will have power to rule and still control that power the right way? Or who are those out of us all will be threatened to be killed and still have the zeal to do the right thing ? This is the issue, all of this won't change if we Nigerians don't stand up together , it won't change if we don't derive a means to make it stop.
          IF we all decide we want the same person , we vote for this same person , we jointly agree to open ballot counting(if there's anything like that), the person becomes the head of the country. The person change the entire security procedure of the country, that same person use God's wisdom to remove corrupt leaders everywhere and all other necessary things needed .THEN Nigeria can be better , by assumption . After all, GOVERNMENT they say, is of the people,by the people and for the people.
            The problem is that not everyone wants the same thing or the right thing, some people somewhere still wants it to continue like this, due to their selfish interest. We are not all united, even in families, they barely agree; envy, jealousy and hatred amongst other things rules in it ,not to talk of a country as a whole. So therefore , let us all work thoroughly on ourself and become a better person to humanity. As the head needs repair to function well , let us ,the body ,keep working on all other aspect of  it. Even as the heart keeps pumping blood to the brain ,let's keep hoping and praying that someday the right blood flows to the brain and it begins to function excellently.
           Congratulations to the next president of Nigeria in the coming election. We want him to be that one person we keep talking about,that one person that will bring unique CHANGE upon us .its a thing of joy for us all if  Nigeria becomes a changed country under his administration and so help him God.
Let all Nigerians stand up to vote for that person we think will bring us that change. Let's all hope our vote will count and bring that change we want THIS TIME around. It can only be better if we are together as one.
                                                                                                                     VOTE NOT FIGHT

SLEEP WISELY

Do you know that scientist has proven that 'one-third of our lives is spent sleeping'? Due to their single fact that a normal man (adult) sleeps 8hrs per day. I was about to fight it , so i did the maths, we have 24hrs in a day and so sleeping 8hrs out of it means one-third of it ,is truly spent sleeping by a normal man. I began to ask questions ,the ones you probably have right now ; how much of my life have I spent sleeping then? does it mean that we ain't suppose to sleep so that we can conserve more time for our lives? I wanted answers and so I decided to share my thought about it with you.
     Sleep deprivation ,isn't the key because it has it's consequences ,of which some of it are as follows:

• It age the skin,
• Makes you forgetful (memory loss),
• Obesity risk increases ,
• Causes depression,
• Causes loss of brain tissue ,
• Stroke risk increases
• Increase risk of heart disease 
• Risk of cancer is also high, 
• Loss of immune function thereby increasing risk of death. E.t.c 

     Obviously, more harm is achieve when we deprive ourself the sleep we require. Sleeping also has so many functions in our lives which includes some of the following:
-  It reduces individual's energy demand and expenditure due to the fact that during sleep , our core         temperature is reduced by 1 degree making us use less energy (energy conservation theory)
- Sleep provide an opportunity for the body to repair and rejuvenate itself, 
- During sleep , the body has a chance to replace body chemicals and repair muscles , other tissues and aging or dead cells,
- Sleep gives the brain opportunity to organize data to help find a solution to problem ,
- Growth hormones are released during sleep such that it helps us to grow. 
All of these shows we indeed need to sleep. This piece is not to bring confusion to minds at all.
             Just so you know , we sleep everyday and we can't finish sleeping as long as we are alive. The amount of sleep we need varies ,depending on multiple factor such as age ,physical condition,psychological condition on energy exerted. Know your type of person because sleep requirement ,depends on individual. Sleeping might not literally mean sleeping on the bed, might mean all those great ideas of ours we've been sleeping on , those great passion of ours or probably those great opportunities we allow sleep take from us . Be extraordinary in the right sense of it and Don't sleep away your life. You can't love success and love sleep at the same time . To succeed and accomplish your dreams in life ,you have to really work hard at it and which include making sacrifices 'Wake up with determination and go to sleep with satisfaction '. Sleep wisely today for your greater tomorrow.

HOW TO KNOW IF YOU ARE "STINGY KOKO"

  Here are some of the things that show you are too stingy ...

When you make budget for yourself only
When you neglect even the minimum requirement needed
When you take advantage of others to save money
When you think everything is over prized or expensive
When you constantly worry about money
When you suddenly become so addicted to money
When you begin to value money more than what it can buy
When you don't want to spend money at all
When you try getting the lowest prize on everything
When you just want to watch your money pile up
When you induce unnecessary hardship on yourself or others in the name of saving your money
When you believe you deserve the entire world by sharing with others
When you're hurt with the thought of giving
When you obsessed with owning money

Which of the above listed is yours or your way of life? Or it's only one of it ,you think you have? The name still hasn't change, it is what it is !!! We can't afford to live like this anymore. A French proverb says " it is a wise man who lives with money in the bank , it is a fool who dies that way", that's the truth. Saving is good but saving all you have and living like a poor person, isn't a life atall. A stingy man or woman is always poor. Selfishness is not something to be proud of ; " No one has ever become poor by giving, the measure of your life will not be in what you accumulate, but in what you give away. Stinginess is a sickness and can afflict anyone through hardship or background . Prevent yourself from being sick today, paying back the suffering of those past years with stinginess won't make you richer. Let me leave you with this " he who loves money will never be satisfied with money".

TRENDS WE FOLLOW WITHOUT ASKING 'WHY'

It pains me to see some things I do that are baseless , things that I do because I woke up to see things done that way, or because it has been that way before I was given birth to . Things like brushing , (with all the stress of carrying the brush ,buying the toothpaste with hard earn money and now brushing the entire set of teeth),ironing ,( rumpled shirt isn't a sin afterall ),schooling,(what's with the stress of going through all the system ,from kindergarten to university and paying for all the school systems),wearing of shoes,(why can't we all walk barefooted all around , than all the energy that wearing of shoe consumes) male wearing trousers and ladies wearing skirt ,( why not long gown ehn, for both,at least would have ruled out immoral dressing , am sure) , to mention but a few . Please who invented all of those ? Of course, these things are still logical and very important .we can always give reasons why we need to do them, the way they do it , just like we met them on earth . its like asking why we see,or why we walk or probably why we talk and the answers would have been because we are created with eyes ,with legs and with mouth ,so we simply do all those things because we met them created for our use. 
Sampled opinions  about this issue with my friends and about what they think , was surprised they had questions too . The most annoying of all, are the trends we follow that are baseless ,unwarranted and without reasons for example , fashion trends, I mean why can't I wear what I please to wear, must I follow a pattern , why must I wear casual maxi dress, slip dress from designers like Chanel ,Gucci , DG and wear them on designer shoes or heels from Isabel Marant, Christian Louboutin ,Givenchy ,Prada ,before i become fashionable? I don't think wearing the latest designer clothes makes me or you more fashionable but the way you comport yourself with whatsoever cloth you choose to wear should be commended and not looked down upon . Social media trends too , they have really grown in such a way that people now press their phones in gatherings rather than pay rapt attention to the events they came for . Isn't it sad that more attention is given to gadget than human ? Or must we have a BBM pin, Facebook ID before we can communicate with friends or must I have Instagram account, twitter handle, before I become sociable and friendly? We should be able to make friends without the help of social media , meet them up , share ideas together unlike the friends we have not seen before. 
               Please ,people should just spare me about this, not that I am not fashionable or not social but I refuse to do what the common people do , I refuse to do things out of bases or reasons . I am unique and wonderfully made , and so ,if I do things out of the normal,it's my choice and shouldn't be rebuked for it ,as far as it's not doing any harm to anyone. it's good to look appealing and beautiful too. People come close to you, to know who you really are and your personality ,just with the way you appear . They call it 'modern world' and that's what our world is turning into . Am challenging someone today , dare to be different and unique as long as it shows what you are. Yeah, I know we probably can't do without some of these things. We grew up been brainwashed by our environment to follow trends (some important, and others meaningless). While we still contend with new trends, new ones keep popping up. Before I begin to sound like an anti social dirty old troll, I 'll just like to say "Don't follow a trend because its popular, but because its important and beneficial"

10 THINGS AM SURE YOU DONT KNOW

Here are part of the things I know and I thought you should know too,be ahead of the people who don't. Remember "knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes".
1. Your brain is more active sleeping than it is watching TV
2. Everyone has a unique tongue print
3. Average person laughs 13 times a day
4. Mosquitoes have teeth
5. Fingernails grow nearly 4 times faster than toenails
6. Money is not made from paper but made out of Cotton
7. The names of the continents all ends with the same letter with which they start
8. Babies are born without knee caps
9. The right lung takes in more air than the left lung
10. Apples are more efficient than caffeine in keeping people awake in the morning.

THE RICHEST OF THEM ALL

       Out of the 196 countries in the world today, 7 continent , 46 countries ,48 Asian countries, 50 European countries, 23 North American countries, 12 South American countries, I became curious to know the richest country amongst them all. I was amused to hear and see a country that it's name isn't that common ' QATAR' ,it was ranked as the world's wealthiest country in a new compiled list by US magazine Forbes. I was also shocked to see U.S at the 6th position But it didn't matter where Some countries are no where to be found in the so called list .
     Qatar, officially 'the state of Qatar 'wait a minute , was this why a state in Nigeria saw ,that made them change their name too? Well, can't blame anyone, good things are good to follow or perhaps richest country is good to imitate. Qatar is  a sovereign Arab country located in Western Asia . Qatar tops the list of the 10 richest countries in the world because of it's record breaking GDP Per capital which is $100,889, it has the highest human development in the Arab world. It is recognized as a high income economy by the world bank. Qatar has a well evolved oil exploration industry and is considered the mainstay of Qatar's economy
    In 2013, Qatar's total population was 1.8 million , at this point , I tried checking for other countries population , I saw a country that has a population of 173.6 million, another country with the population of 13 thousand and something ,but none of these countries were listed . So I was wrong to have thought that population had something to do with how much a country worth. It is striking to note that the petroleum industry control over 70% towards the government revenue in Qatar whereas countries that has more petroleum industries traded theirs with corruption . Qatar's petroleum industry also contribute approximate 85% towards export earnings and over 60% toward GDP .
    Qatar is also one of the nations that has invested hugely in British property and firms . Standard of living in Qatar is high and many expats find living in Qatar a very different experience . Exciting jobs opportunities and equally promising salaries together with the attraction of the country makes Qatar an enticing place . Obviously, this can't be said about other countries . Named countries where graduates and students are not encouraged , lack of employment , too much of poor people over rich ,lack of good salaries to point but a few .
      Let me not bore you with my curiosity , all this is not to boost any country or  weigh any country Down but it's just to let you know that no matter how large or small a country's population is, it is not a factor or barrier for it's economy. A population where corruption is eradicated, where selfishness is not seen , makes a great country . No matter the position of a country now, no matter the current status, it can still be great. Let's stand up and make it right . It begins with you and I. 

BIRTHDAY FEVER

Am sorry but my curious mind won't rest on this one . Let's just ponder this together. Haven't you wondered why people often do strange things on their birthday, some wear new clothes, new under wears, new Jewelries , new accessories , some want to visit places they haven't been before, some want to eat what they have not eaten before. Is that what birthdays are meant for? I know of some culture or let's call it religion or belief that don't celebrate birthdays , I basically don't know why they can't celebrate their existence on earth but even those celebrating it why are they all up about it ? Or is there something more to it ? Someone just wants to overspend because it's his or her birthday .
Maybe am right on it , although there's no research on it but I would like to be the first person to bring out a new term in the medical dictionary ' birthday fever' , the one you suddenly have on that special morning , the one that makes you think weird , the one that makes you think otherwise . I might be wrong you know? Maybe there isn't something like that , maybe it's just one of those days you really want to feel special about yourself that you still alive up to date. Am not convinced yet , I still think there's more to it . Share with me your thoughts on what you think and you never can tell you might be our lucky scientist and please kindly share your thought on the weird things or special things you've done on one of those birthdays of yours.

Little something for your day

Sun shines. Stars shine
River flows  wind blows

Dogs bark cocks crow
All of these do not stop because you stop living
You don't stop living because you failed
You settle for less because you stop trying
Executing ideas, hard work plus prayers brings success
Make yourself the winner you are
Stay strong , be strong
Live life
Life is worth more living for
Believe in yourself
Stay positive
