SUCCESS



“Some men may succeed, because they are destined to, but most men succeed because they are determined to”. 
-Henry Ford
    The rewards one gets in life are usually the results of one’s efforts. No man can hope to have a very easy life and also at the same time a very successful one. There may be only one or two exceptions in thousands of cases on this matter. It is astonishing what intelligent efforts can achieve when channeled in the right direction. If success had been easy, everyone would have been successful. However, the path to success is not as difficult to climb as it might appear. Each time we overcome an obstacle; the work becomes easier.
  It is very necessary to work hard to achieve success. It is being said that if we love our work, we will never find it hard or tiring. There is no substitute for hard work. At the same time, there should be a purpose and a noble goal at which to aim and advance. We must decide our aim in life or what we want most out of our life and then constantly work towards it. The early attempts towards the goal of success are the hardest. The more our efforts to get success, the easier it becomes for us. In the end it becomes our habit. Then success follows success. Self-confidence, courage and strong will power, are necessary to get success. It is not how much we do but how well we do that which is important. But at the same time, one should also keep this in mind that it is better to do something than to do nothing due to fear of failure. The more reason why courage is necessary to achieve success.
  Fortune favors the brave. There is no gain without taking risk. How can a man who never ventures win? In life one has to take bold decisions quickly. Time and tide wait for nobody they say. The timid, weak and undecided are swept aside by the tide of time. Determination and concentration can enable a man to attain success in any field of life. So, success is not a matter of luck, it depends on firm determination and full preparation.

  3. I personally don't like success being gendered except specified. I find the use of "men" in Ford's quote problematic as it will be in today's world.

THE GRASS IS NOT GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE🌿🌿

 Remember when you were in secondary school and all you could think about was: ‘I will be happy when I finally graduate so I can escape this hell hole and I can finally do what I want to do with my life’. Remember?    The hallmark of the “grass is greener syndrome” is the idea that there is always something better that we are missing. So rather than experiencing stability, security, and satisfaction in the present environment, the feeling is there is more and better elsewhere, and anything less than ideal won't do.   Now let's go down memory lane remember this song by the popular musician Adekunle Gold "Ire" (Goodness) in his album ABOUT 30 the song goes like this:  [Verse 1]  The Grass Is Greener On The Other Side That’s What I Thought, Before I Took The Ride I Burned My Bridges, So I’d Never Look Back But, If I Had Known The Life I Was Searching For, Was Looking Me Right In The Eye Oh If I Had Known, The Life I Was Searching For, Was Already My Own Ire N ...

HEALTHY LIVING

     Today, we'd be taking a look at something everyone or better still everybody is familiar with and of which we obviously can't do without in a day, you’d agree with me it’s a miracle drink we all are ignoring. Wondering what it is🤷. I guess you are wrong. Today we would be talking about water and some of its benefits we all for most of us might know about and might not know about. Water is generally defined as a transparent, tasteless, odorless, and nearly colorless. Its chemical formula is generally known as H₂O. In case you don't know, Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface, mostly in seas and that's just by the way. I guess an average percentage of People might not know the benefits of drinking water and this is what we would focus on today.  Studies have shown that the human body is made up of about 65-70% water and so therefore, for our body to function properly and efficiently, it must be well hydrated.            ...
