Tales From College (1)!

So, There was this course I took in my 400level 1st semester that was interesting. It had some calculations in it that made it a bit tedious but fun while we were learning.
At some points, you'll need to calculate for 2different variables and different subquestions that arises from the solution and tables you'll put up from the question.
I knew this lecturer very well that he knew my stand and efforts to succeed. He was a lecturer who can be very pissed over the smallest of issues, and whose smile you can't explain indeed, However, we were still friends.

That aside for the while,

Considering my subsequent grades and CGPA, I had a very high target for the final semesters in order to meet my academic goal. I had to study smarter and read every material I could cos the aim was a 5.0 (heheheheheh....wetin man go do nah?).

Ghenghen...
Exam was fast approaching and I had to up my study game to make my plans work. I prepared for this course very well, had group reading and discussion with my study group, answered past questions, revisited assignments, asked questions to my lecturers and all the things a serious student should do....choiiiiii.

On entering the hall, we all discovered that, not only was number 1 compulsory, but it had about 25marks, with grandchildren questions. Why should I be bored BTW, now see the gist... it was also so complex beyond what we were ever thought, that it was very hard to crack. The complains were gradually increasing, but everyone started with number 2, leaving number 1 question for the last and miracle.

Just as I was confused, the lecturer came up to my sit and asked
How is it going?
I replied," fine, safe the unclarity of number 1".

His response challenged me so much....
He said (paraphrased), '' you people are not serious, how do you think you will just get an A in my course ?".
I responded,  ''I will pass this course with an A sir.''

After answering other questions, I bowed down my head and prayed.
In less than 5mins, the RHEMA arrived, the wisdom for the solution was revealed, and I answered it to the point of Making an A in that course.

What's the moral from this longgggggggg gist? I hope you weren't bored!

Success is as expensive as the pleasure of its joy.
Even after you have done all you think you should, expect bigger challenges than you have imagined!
Even at the point of discouragement by whom you least expect, compose yourself and seek for Grace to pull thru!
Never give in to compromise, you could be at the threshold of victory.
Don't change your target, rather change your strategy!
Let peoples negative words spur you to positive action, it weakens them!
Never exclude God in the equation of success!

#DoYourBestAndLeaveTheRestToGod
#KnowYourWorthAndEsteemIt.

THE BRAIN: POWERFUL DETERMINANT FOR ACTIVATION OF POTENTIALS

The brain is the number one evidence and epitome of gabbage in gabbage out. I have heard some people say "Oh if I read this for a long time, my brain will explode. Lol, sweetheart that is super untrue.  Research has it that, only 2% of the human brain has been used 98% remains mostly  unused, so there ain't an explosion that comes from maximizing the brains capacity. Our brain weighs 1.4 kilogram and suprisingly has 14 billion nerve cells, so it has the ability to contain large stock of information, larger that has ever been stuffed into anyone's brain.  A great research was made by some neurosurgeons in their bid to understand the capacity of the human brain. This research was carried out with two categories of brains which were : The brain of a freshly dead professor and that of an illiterate who left his brain dormant. It took pretty time to do this great comparism and GUESS WHAT!!!🤩🤭😌😁😁😁 There  was no difference between the brains when compared in te

BURST THAT COCOON ( BTC )

D BROKEN SILENCE!!!! Some 8years ago , I feared standing up in the midst of a crowd not to talk of speaking to them. The irony about the issue was that i always had a succinct idea that i believed was needful to place this aright, but i always squabble in fear and let my mouths get sealed up. She got into trouble because i found it difficult to say a word and prove her guiltless. I got bullied a couple of times because my silence made them feel I was configured to be maltreated. I missed bonus marks in the class, not because I didn't know the answer to the "seemingly tough question" but because i just kept silence about my knowledge , feeling so timid to say my mind. Amidst this years people kept on telling me, don't worry its just the best way to be - SILENT, I felt worst when I noticed in my small veil- covered mind that even those who spoke made no difference. I never knew that a word fitly spoken can turn tides even if not immediately . The whole scene kept

 Part 1: The Foundation of Personal Leadership   Welcome to our series on Building Personal Leadership! True leadership starts from within. John C. Maxwell's had this to say about leadership- "Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge." To take care of those in your charge, you need to have the capacity to understand their unique needs and challenges. You need to be steps ahead of them to understand their fears, worries, concerns and thereby provide relevant answers to their questions. Leaders who exert impact in the life of others are leaders who lead from personal experiences and who first invest in personal leadership. You can not give what you don’t have. If you attempt to do so, you will only feed them theories and leave them clueless on how to practice them. People stick to leaders who are masters at leading themselves. Hence, in your leadership journey, the best place to start is PERSONAL LEADERSHIP.
