What to do when you fail

*WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FAIL

Neither condemn yourself nor your examiners

Realise that there was a problem or some problems

Find out what the problems were

Never underestimate any angle or feeling… if you feel it is mental, see a doctor; If spiritual, begin to pray and consult your pastor

Invent new ways of doing things: Do not do things the way you have done it before. It is only a mad man that does the same things and expects a different result

Plan by the minutes: your long term goal is to succed, break that down into short term achieveable goals and tasks.

Be confident in yourself even if it is your 6th attempt, nothing is worse than a self defeatist attitude.

When you do these, go ahead send me a mail to thank me because it always works.

Obviously, I’m not a relationship expert. But there’s something about my divorce being finalized this week that gives me perspective of things I wish I would have done different… After losing a woman that I loved, and a marriage of almost 37 years, here’s the advice I wish I would have had

DEAFNESS: The second key to success

DEAFNESS:

In the land of animals at a time when the lion was king and the animals could talk, it was a time humans hunted by digging very deep holes and covering them with leaves waiting for animals to show up. There was a day when two good friends Mr Antelope and Mr Hare fell into one of such pits in the boundary between the abode of the humans and the animals.

The antelope and hare realizing they had fallen into a trap which may well mean the end of life decided to do all in their power to get out of the trap. They cried out and called out to other animals and asked for help. Sure enough, the animals all gathered round but could do nothing for the pit/trap was so deep and no one would risk falling in themselves.

The 3 Keys to success... A must read/watch!!!

The Keys to Success Part 1:

SELECTIVE DUMBNESS

A little bird was flying south for the winter and it was so cold that the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out. He lay there all warm and happy and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Radio show podcast featuring the Hare and the Tortoise

I could not make it for the show last week Saturday but Dipo did us proud.
We are Ujima 9ja mix show and there are 6 presenters ( Myself inclusive :-)) here is the podcast for 8th of August 2013. It features the story of the Hare and Tortoise. ENJOY.

THE STORY OF THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE (With some remix )

Here's the story you already know:

Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster. They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route and started off the race.

The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race. He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep. 

The tortoise, plodding on, overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ. The hare woke up and realized that he'd lost the race.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS THAT SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE. THIS IS THE VERSION OF THE STORY THAT WE'VE ALL GROWN UP WITH.

But recently, someone told me a more interesting version of this story. It continues:
