THE ESSENCE OF TIME: "It is impossible to save time so we must simply investing it wisely." Michael Altshuler, one of Americas famous motivational speakers woke up one morning and gave the world two very important and yet very constant news; a good one, and a bad one. The bad news is "TIME FLIES" while the good news is "YOU ARE THE PILOT" With the start of a new month it becomes important to remind ourselves of all our plans for the year and ask the very important question- ARE YOU STILL ON TRACK? This is a strong reminder for me. You see like the quote above says, we can't stop the moving time and we can't recover the lost one, so we must invest the time we now have wisely. I am sure our elders will have a lot to say about this. Good morning and a happy new month. REMEMBER TO SHARE THIS. #Time-is-of-the-essence #AdrianPastol #git9ja.com

The real difficulties arise only when one or both partners have a sort of  psychological dependence on their parents, which prevents them from thinking and deciding independently. This tendency is frequent in men, as a consequence of the possessive love of their mothers. Though young partners should overcome the attitude of over-dependence on parents, they should also ensure that their mutual love and self - sufficiency do not deprive their parents of anything due to them. On the contrary, it should foster a new type of love which is deeper because it is more mature. The difficulties which a wife encounters especially with her mother in law are easily resolved if her husband is able to stand by her. Making it clear that he is giving priority to his marital commitment. (6) Should a couple ever have recourse to divorce? Answer:- Divorce is only the legal zeal of a failure which affects bitterly each one of the parents and their children. If difficulties betw

THE POWER OF VISION: "The most pathetic person in the world is some one who has sight but no vision."                                                                   ~Helen Keller. If you have been to a few job interviews lately then you must have come across: Where do you see yourself in 5 years? The truth is that, we really shouldn't wait for an interview before we ask ourselves that question and of cause, try to answer it. The Recruiters that ask this question simply want to know if you have a vision, they ask this because they know the power in having a vision and want to employ somebody who does. The easiest way to live is simply to take life as it comes but its certainly not the most productive way to live. I recently saw an advert that used a known quote that I love so much to pass their message, it says: "The best way to predict the future, is to create it"  You see, without a vision, you will very well be pushed around by life or what s

THE POWER OF VISION: "The out come of our future depends largely on the positive or negative pattern of our vision, and our attitude towards it." A few nights back, I heard the story of a Nigerian man who was trying to buy petrol at the fuel station during a time when there was scarcity, he had been in line for 3 days and when it got to his turn, just as they were about to sell to him, the workers announced that they have ran out. The first thing he screamed was: "I KNEW IT, I KNOW ONCE IT GETS TO MY TURN I WON'T GET FUEL." (Laughs...) The question I asked myself after I heard this story was- If he already knew that he would not succeed, then why did he still stay in-line for 3 days. (Laughs...) Often times in life we tend to predict our own future negatively even while making efforts, and unless you have understood the power of positive thinking, you may not know how much harm this can cause. I recommend you read the book "Power of Positive T

THE POWER OF VISION: "The vision that you glorify in you mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart, this you will build your life by, and this you will become." Hello friends, and a happy new week to you. I do hope my sharing on "FIGHTING FOR YOUR DREAM" came in handle last week. This week I will be sharing on "THE POWER OF VISION." Be inspired. I would love for you to please read the above quote again... Now I know how this sounds and a lot of people may say they are mere words, but I assure you they are not. We are mostly a product of our visions and how much we give to pursue them. Thus the saying: As a man thinketh. When you keep picturing a vision and you put in the steps to achieve them, we often times eventually get them. If you want to become a Doctor so much that you picture it, you find yourself  making your plans towards achieving your goals; developing your interest and circle to that end. When your vision is to become a f

"If you are living up to your ideals, then they are not high enough." Hello... The above quote may sound funny but its so true, our zeal to achieve is the biggest motivation a man can have. Our ability to think and desire for more is one of God's greatness gifts to mankind, and where properly managed can take us to great heights. Think above it, its the men that set great heights that built the new world in which we live today. -The Wright brothers: Aero-plane -Dr. Ben Carsons: Neurosurgeon -Albert Einsteins: Great mind -Micheal Jackson: King of Pop -Graham Bell: Telephone -Thomas Edison: Electric Bulb These are people the world cannot forget, because they dared to dream bigger than normal. For instance, if your dream is to become a Medical Doctor, then you are not dreaming high enough; almost anyone can be a Medical Doctor. why not try dreaming of becoming the greatest Medical Doctor from your country. Now that's a dream worth having! In essence, I am

"Don't wish for more than you are willing to work for." A great day to you... I believe the above quote is really clear and direct: "Don't wish for more than you willing to work for" In clearer terms, If you are not willing to work for riches then don't  wish to be rich. If you want to be a star musician, then you have to be willing to work on your voice, get studio time and build on connections. If you are sick and you want to get better, then you have to take your medications. If you want something out of life, then be prepared to work for it. Then fact is, you cannot climb the ladder of success without using your hands. #Dare2Dream #AdrianPastol #git9ja.com

I use to have a Comfort Zone Where I knew I couldn't fail The same four walls of busy work Were really more like jail. I longed so much to do the things I'd never done before, But I stayed inside my Comfort Zone And paced the same old floor I said it didn't matter, That I wasn't doing much I said I didn't care for things Like diamonds, furs and such I claimed to be so busy With the things inside my zone, But deep inside I longed for Something special of my own. I couldn't let my life go by, Just watching others win. I held my breath and stepped outside And let the change begin. I took a step and with new strength I'd never felt before, I kissed my Comfort Zone "goodbye" And closed and locked the door. If you are in a Comfort Zone, Afraid to venture out, Remember that all winners were At one time filled with doubt. A step or two and words of praise, Can make your dreams come

"Follow your dreams, they know the way." You know those very popular questions that people always ask- How can I be happy in life? What is the secret of success and happiness? How do I achieve greatness? etc. Well, they all have one simple answer: FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS. The truth is you can't find the rainbow if you are looking down, you will need to look up. Whatever your dreams, what you first have to believe is that it is possible-no matter how big; then you work on turning your dreams into reality. Someone dreamt of inventing electricity when no one imagined it possible but today it. If you have a dream, follow it, they know the way to true happiness. #Dare2Dream #AdrianPastol #git9ja.com

Hello all, hope you are having a great day? This is one of those piece I write out of request, and I had a really thrilling and hilarious time when running the research work for this; you should hear the answers people gave to the question: NAME 3 THINGS YOU MUST ALWAYS HAVE ON YOU WHEN GOING? (One answered without hesitating, MY CV; still laughing) Well, the 3 things on my list may probably shock you but some of the major issues put into consideration before writing this are basic needs, emergency situations, environment (in this case, Nigeria), the working systems, safety etc.  The 3 things you must always have with you when going out are things that can save your life; they are:

When we die, our money remains in the bank... Yet, when we are alive, we don't have enough money to spend. In reality, when we are gone, there is still a lot of money not spent.  One business tycoon in China passed away. His widow, left with $1.9 billion in the bank, married his chauffeur. His chauffeur said:- "All the while, I thought I was working for my boss... it is only now, that I realize that my boss was all the time, working for me !!!" The cruel reality is: It is more important to live longer than to have more wealth. So, we must strive to have a strong and healthy body, It really doesn't matter who is working for who. In a high end hand phone, 70% of the functions are never used! For an expensive car, 70% of the speed and gadgets are not really needed. If you own a luxurious villa or mansion, 70% of the space is usually not used or occupied. How about your wardrobes of clothes? 70% of them are not worn! A whole life of work and e

"You have to stay 'WIDE AWAKE' for your dream to come true." Its sounds really funny but its very true, you cannot make it in life until you wake up from you sleep. The problem though is that a lot of us don't even know they are asleep. Before you can achieve your dreams in life, you have to wake up from your sleep and get to work. Its not enough to simply wish to become great or to hope to make it in life, you have to actually work towards achieving your dreams before you can live it. So if you are still sleeping, WAKE UP. #Dare2Dream #AdrianPastol #git9ja.com

1. DON'T SLEEP WITH WATCH - Watches emit a certain level of radioactivity. Though small but if you wear them to bed for a long time it might have adverse effects to your health. 2.

It would be easier to get little things done if I weren't so busy dreaming about big things. DREAMS: This is one of the many topics I can really relate to and I want to believe you can too. All great men had and have dreams and aspirations, infact if you don't have a dream (A BIG PICTURE) then you may be one of those simply floating in life and moving where ever the tides takes them, that should change. Many great men who dreamt, really dreamt big. Its like the bigger your dreams the better your chances at life. Well, that is a chat for another day. Since we will be talking about how to fight for our dreams this week I thought it wise to start with a caution, Thus the quote above. the value of doing little things in other to achieve bigger things (the big picture) cannot be over-emphasized. Before You learnt to spell and write, you first learnt the simple alphabets ABC; before a Doctor can carry out a surgery, I am pretty sure he would have fi

CONCLUSION ON COURTSHIP:   Questions and answer continues...... 4. I have been married for six years and when ever my husband gets angry, he always beats me and the kids. Few week ago our two years old son broke his radio mistakenly. When he came home from work, he beat the child and then beat me, then the child again I thought he was going to kill us both! I have never been unfaithful to him, but he is always afraid that I will be. He is always furious each time he sees me speaking to a man, even a relative. Many times, we disturb people's peace with our noise. He says he is not wrong to beat me, that am the one who is wrong to provoke him.. After he beat me, I always stay home for some days in order to hide my bruises.. I am a christian and I know you are going to tell me to be patient, but I'm so tired of being beaten. I don't know what to do. Answer:- No, you can't be patient.

"Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." ~Napoleon Hill Each time I come across this quote the first thing pops into my head is: "not in Nigeria." (Laughs...) I am sure my Nigerian readers would understand.

A teacher asked her students to bring some tomatoes in a plastic bag to school. Each tomato will be given a name of the person whom that child hates.  This way, the number of tomatoes will be equal to the number of persons they hate. On a decided day, the children brought their tomatoes

A friend sent me this message which was worth reading and I also had to share**** Great advice from the Richest person in China Mr. Jack Ma. Jack Ma says, "Please tell your children that the world is changing every day and no one is going to wait for you in the past. When lighter was invented, matches slowly

Begin somewhere, you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.                                                            ~Liz Smith The above quote seem so clear, so I am going to keep this short. Unless you start you cannot build anything in life. It is not enough to simply want to do something, you have to make a plan and take action. What is not started today, cannot be finished tomorrow, so no matter how even if crawling is all you can do, START. #git9ja.com

Someone sent this to me and I thought I should share it. (1) Eagles fly alone and at high altitudes. They don't fly with sparrows or other small birds. Stay away from sparrows and ravens, those that bring you down. Eagles fly with Eagles. Keep good company.  (2) Eagles have an accurate vision. They have the ability to focus on something as far as 5km. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it. Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacle and you will succeed. (3) Eagles do not eat dead things. They feed only on fresh prey. Do not rely on your past success, keep looking for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it belongs, in the past.  (4) Eagles love the storm. When clouds gather, the eagles get excited. The eagle uses the storm’s wind to lift it higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagles uses the raging storm to lift him above the clouds. This gives the eagle an oppo
