A Rare Inspirational Gem For JAMB 2017 Candidates.

As the all anticipated mock examination in preparation for the 2017/18 Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) UTME had come and gone, it is left in the heart of the 2017 JAMB applicants aspiring to be admitted into the various tertiary institutions of learning across the country to decide whether or not to get prepared for the main examination. According to JAMB news, the exam is expected to kick off in the month of May, 2017.

There is no doubt that a lot of people especially secondary school leavers are on the race for this exam. This has amount to candidates wondering silently and sometimes verbally, "who will it favour most?". No doubt, this exam would favour mostly those who are adequately and sincerely prepared for it.

Besides, the 2017 JAMB UTME would come like a flash. Some applicants may leave the examination hall wondering if they had just taken the all anticipated exam. Yes, that is actually how it is. You will have to prepare for an exam for almost two months only to sit for the exam in a flash of about two (2) hours! But the ordeal is not yet over. This is because most JAMB candidates spend the remaining few hours of the day wondering how ir what there result would look like.

For some, this is a moment of unceasing prayer despite the fact that they must have offered words of prayer before and in most cases, even during the exam. To some also, this is a time of panic and uncertainty.

Furthermore, I do not belittle anyone who believes in the power of genuine prayers or anyone permitting anxiety into the situation but, I am always quick to ask, "did you do the right thing to enhance or avoid these respectively or as the case may be?" Of course, you are free to be anxious and expectant over the course of your result and even pray but is that all you needed to have done? did you prepare for the exam adequately? This is part of the questions some JAMB candidates find hard to provide answer to. It is no news that most of the candidates who registered for the examination, mostly those who are male, find delight in watching Christiana Ronaldo and the likes of Messi while their female counterparts are carried away chatting with physically unidentifiable friends on Facebook and other social media platforms despite the fact that they have such an important examination ahead of them.

Hold on JAMB UTME candidates. why do you spend all your time catching fun on Facebook when that fun can wait? Hear Diane Nyad say this,

I am willing to put myself through anything; temporary pain or discomfort means nothing to me as long as I can see that the experience will take me a new level. I am interested in the unknown, and the only path to the unknown is through breaking barriers, an often painful process.

!!
So, what is that painful process you think you are going through now because of JAMB UTME? Is it the fact that you have to stay away from your distracting friends for sometime? Be it what, I want to tell you that it is to the effect of igniting the zeal in JAMB candidates to forestall these frivolities that I am telling you to face your book and do the necessary things to enhance success in your examination.

Just yesterdays, we heard that the world's most loved messenger app, Whatsapp, had crashed and was inoperable, today, what is happening? I am currently chatting with my friends on Whatsapp because it has been restored to normal! The same applies to you; you have forfeit Whatsapp for sometime and face your study, there is no single harm in doing so. After your exams, Whatsapp and other messenger apps will still be there waiting for you to operate them.

Therefore, JAMB candidates, hold on and read. Hold on! Facebook will not crash if you quit it for some minutes.
I urge to pick up your books and read them. Integrate passion to what you do. See this moment as a transition stage. What you transit into is a major product of the processes you initiate today. Do not wait for the examination to be, "two days to go" before you start reading. Prepare your mind on time and be ready for the worst even though we are expecting the best. Remember, you are not the only person on this race but each individual will get an equivalent score that reflects how much he or she had studied. Be the best you can be now and make the best out of the little time you have. If you do it well, you may not return to this stage again.

The Crucifix

The 'Good Friday' is observed in most countries of the world where the catholics are located. No one knows why it is termed so but some has contested or argued that the good attached to it comes from etymological form, "God's Friday" while some would argue that it is termed so because it begets the glorious celebration of the day Christ was raised from the dead.

In all, some christians observers/ tradition would choose to use the opposite. In Germany, for example, it is termed, "Karfreitag" which means "Sorrowful Friday" while also it is referred to as Great Friday and Holy Friday in some doctrines.
The Holy Friday, is usually proclaimed a holiday in most christians countries like Nigeria.
On this day, the christians faithfuls memorize the events of that took place throughout the time Jesus Christ was subjected to worldly humiliation (according to the Holy Bible) and willfully suffered and was put to death to take away the sins of the world.
On a day like this, the churches in the christians faith are not adorned in decorations. The Crucifix bearing the body of Christ nailed to the cross hung on the alters are wrapped with sacred cloths. In most churches, like the catholic denomination today, the Divine Liturgy is not celebrated.

On this day, the christians faithfuls recall the suffering and death of Christ through public readings of specific Psalms and the gospels, singing of hymns about the death of Christ.

Life's Lesson: A Moment Of Inspiration With The Imiano.

designed by Freepik.

On the 19th of March, 2017, we wake up to the NEWS update - Man Jumps Off Third Mainland Bridge by Vanguardngr of an unknown man jumping off the third mainland bridge in Lagos State, Nigeria. A lot of people had wondered what would have prompted such an act. Martin Beck Nworah was one of such people who had undertaken such laborious task to find out who or what must have prompted such an act by a well meaning Nigeria citizen.
Subsequent upon this, I have deemed it fit to showcase the story in the light that I have seen it. Which is motivation. What would have prompted Master Allwell Orji to jump into the Lagos lagoon? Almost everyone would have asked, is it magic? was it an unexplainable urge?
Here is a recap of the news. On the 19th day of March 2017, a man later identified as Dr. Allwell Orji, while travelling along the third mainland bridge in Lagos state in a Nissan Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV), had asked his driver to stop at the third mainland bridge. The driver with little or no clue of what lay in wait for him and his young master did as he was told, only for the young man who was said to be 35 years of age to alight from the SUV, and the next, "fiaam!" was the sound when he went off, subsequently jumping off into the body of water.
Below is the photograph of the scene of the incident.


As shared by the news media

---

Martin Beck Nworah in a report titled, "Issues On Dr. Orji's Lagoon Suicide" on Odogwublog had tried to analyse the remote and immediate causes of the ungodly act.
According to Martin, after the news was released online, MBN communed with his "crack team" to come up with the following findings and attributed them to be the cause of the ill act.

• Dr. Orji was a bachelor as the time of the event
• Dr. Orji was said to have sat for a crucial examination that would enable him get promoted in his medical career but was never promoted thereafter.
• He was a sickle cell patient.
• He often had seizures too. So, a driver was hired to look after him while also driving him around
• He had attempted suicide at some point earlier in his life
• His driver was oblivion of his master's intention mostly because he was newly hired

All said and done, I want to put more emphasis on the highlighted texts.
In life most time we choose to envy people we know little about without caring to find out what internally makes them up. "I want to be a medical doctor" anyone would say, "I want to be like that person in that Utility vehicle" anyone would also say but have you cared to realize a bit of what that fellow's life is all about. Having envy for another person's achievement is not a guaranteed way to success. I am by no means saying that someone committing suicide is any means a point of inspiration to us but in everything, there is a thing to learn.
It is good to know who you really are, accept who you think best to be and work on improving more on it that using your time to envy someone else.
This is how life is; always strive to be better than who you think you have been and leave envy to it's own with time you would learn that people's outward appearance is not the only basis of evaluation. Though it's necessary.

7 Things Your Boss Wants To Know About Motivation.

photo from photopin

At times, people are deceived by their conscience into thinking that they have known all that there is to be or ever known about a simple subject matter, hence they develop the tendency of not wanting to know more and more about it again. On the other hand, there are people who value the idea that a thing known about a given concept or idea may improve over the time, hence they always tend to revisit the idea or concept to find out what more improved values it has to offer to their lives.more> If you have a boss that depicts the former, and I can tell that by you clicking to have more of this link, that you rightly depict the later description of person, then this is for you.
Furthermore, before I go on to release the 7 bullet points of what your boss wants to know about motivation, let me first explain what it is. Motivation, according to the business dictionary is the, "internal and external factors that stimulate desire and energy in people to be continually interested and committed to a job, role or subject, or to make an effort to attain a goal."
In essence, motivation is that voice of reasons which propels one into wanting to achieve more. To stay motivated simply implies to remain inclined to a cause you so much believe would yield much fulfillment and satisfaction at the end. According to the business dictionary today, motivation is also the reason why a given individual, student who is not doing so well in school will spend extra time studying for a test because he or she wants a better grade in the class.
Moreover, here they are; The 7 Things Your Boss Wants To Know About Motivation:

• How To Deal With The Stress On Campus As A First Year Student.
• The Man Who Never Loved -A Top Story.

1. Motivation brings decision-making processes to a head.
   How many times have you wondered how certain business or personal decision-making processes are brought to a head, rather than an end? So many times I guess. Now this is where motivation plays a vital role. Without being motivated towards an attainable goal, a manager, boss or personal may end up thinking in so many directions without arriving at any meaningful end. Good motivation to a particular goal helps translate a decision-making process into an actionable goal determining factor or plan.
   
2. Motivation Drives Motive.
   Motivation is the major reason why one would insist in following an implemented action plan to realization or even, implement one. A motive is a reason that prompts one to doing something. Once you have a good motive, to actualize it would come from well received, and perceived motivation either from the level you wish to climb to on attainment of the motive or the incentive which you perceive accompanies it.
   
3. It Brings About Self-Actualization.
   One of the major roles played by being motivated in the life of an individual is the role of fulfillment which an individuals derives in the attainment or actualization of a goal. According to business dictionary again, self-actualization is "the motivation to realize one's own
   maximum potential and possibilities." It
   also considered it to be the, "master motive or
   the only real motive, all other motives
   being its various forms." In essence, motivation plays a vital role in setting the individual towards the vital road of self-actualization.
   
4. It Brings About Being Better Organized
   "Beating about the bush" doesn't help anyone. There is sense in agreeing that good motivation brings about a better organization in a person. A mind full of discouragements and myriad of broken pieces of thoughts can be put straight with just some few words of motivation and encouragement. Imagine you are in a situation that needs urgent address, be it a scattered room, a file littered office etc and you are standing or fixed to the floor not knowing what step exactly to take, then in this moment, a little voice calls up to you, "Cherie, come on, do it this way and the result would come out the other way." then you find yourself arranging the files or setting the room in other the way you thought or you are advised, that's motivation. From within you or someone else.
   
5. Fulfillment
   Have you ever thought of the level of fulfillment one attains when one's aims are actualized through motivation? That is the height of satisfaction one derives from knowing that a goal set for one's good has been attained. Motivation has a way of taking us to our peak of ectasy and elation, hear this, Oxford dictionaries asserts, "motivation is the desire or willingness to do something; enthusiasm.
   
6. It Boosts Interactivity.
   Motivation is not a one-way traffic. It is easy for you to feel the minds of people when they motivate you and, it is also easy to understand yourself well when the motivation comes from within you. More or less, when people transfer their ideas to or you transfer what yours to them, their inner positive mind is being interacted with. Motivation boosts your knowledge and perception of the person who motivates you. Likewise when the motivation to do something comes from within, it boosts the form of intrapersonal interactivity because it simply and plainly notifies you of what your inner self really wants. Those are what it motivates you toward.
   
7. It Gives You More Reasons To Live
   Have I said this before? Motivation can boosts one's hope! hope is the reason why we desire to see the future. Hope is the reason why we cease to give up on an endeavour or activity believing consciously that the end would favour us. And guess what? Hope is brought about mainly by motivation and motivation helps to fulfill plans.
   'Don't give up now' Hope says, 'This is what you tend to achieve' Motivation says, and life gives moving swiftly and to a designated aim.
   

Nonetheless, lack of motivation is the reason why some people initiate a goal without finishing it. Is is also the reason why some would engage in a deal and give up on it without completion.
In conclusion, Motivation is one thing that propels one forward to go the extra mile. It brings out in you the qualities that you need to attain a certain goal that you have envisioned. Always think about motivation as a force of reasons. It discernable your boss wants to know these!
