IT'S DOING II



The summary of our discussion last week is that confidence is doing. That reminds of one of my secondary school friends. He's tall, light and handsome. But he didnt' have the courage to ask ladies out. He admired them at a distant but to let cat out of the bag he could not.

There was a day he sent one of us to a certain girl he admired. The person he sent knew his challenge of not being able to talk to ladies. All he hoped was that the guy would do everything on his behalf. But he did otherwise, he just called the lady for him without telling her anything.

 He just did a little introduction and left the two of them on the scene.  My coward friend was there at a spot dancing and muttering same thing again and again. Such that it was obvious to the girl that he was afraid to talk to her. But later voiced out though. That single encounter instilled confidence in him. However, the girl laughed.

Confidence is not about being right always, it is about doing it without the fear of being wrong. Worthy of note is that you earn not confidence with your degree. It is built, it is developed. Lots of graduate out there with low self-esteem. Employer do capitalize on this at the last phase of interview when payment is being discussed. This is the reason two people working in the same organization, doing the same work. Yet their salaries differ. Bargaining power you call it? Yes but confidence influence it.

Many folks married to ladies they never love due to lack of confidence. They were left with no choice than to take what was given to them.

Some lack confidence because of fear of disappointment! Disappointment or failure will always come but in as much you win enough more than you lose.

Lack of confidence, fear and low self-esteem are all but in the same category. If one can conquer these, there's no limit to how far one can go. Most times what look like mountains are nothing but mere sands. How would you know if the first step is not taking?

Take that step now!
 If you love her, tell her. Theres no time burning inside when the solution stares at you straight in the eye.

The worst answer you can ever get from any lady is NO
However, life goes on.

Till we meet again I remain my humble self AKERELE odunayo Samuel.

Remember keep being you and keep being good.

MY LOCAL FRIEND

                                                               We started this series last week when we talked about ‘lessons from a game of football.’ The capsule overview of last week post is the fact that in a game of football they have a common goal, which is to win. And we established that if at all victory would be their friend then there is a need for them to work as a team. Here is a personal experience shared by a very good friend of mine: I have many friends both in my town and neighboring town. Some of them are educated while some are not. There was a time I went for a conference outside my town. I met new friends at the conference whose exposure transcend some of my friends at home. I needed to get their contacts but both my subscriber identity module (SIM) and phone storage were completely full. A thought c...

SEEDS

I remember when I started teaching as a side hustle. I didn't really take it serious. The first student I encountered,  just walk up to me for asistance, and I taught him at no cost. The last time I met him, he is already a graduate. After I graduated from the university I taught in one, two, three or four places. But those seeds I sowed then jokingly have become trees, I mean  big trees. Just last month I met two of my students in one of the reputable university in Nigeria; one is studying Chemical engineer and the other Computer science. Those were the one I taught between 2017 and 2018. Some of the students I taught between 2015 and 2016 had graduated from universities while some are in their final year. Some of my students are still in secondary schools and they are doing fine. I have students that are not in school but follow their passion either as singers, comedian, etc. and they are as well doing fine. Why am I telling you this? Is it for show, or perhap...

IT MATTER

IT MATTER! The topic to be discussed today is ‘it matter’, but the question is, what matters? Join me as we look into this deeply.  When I was in secondary school my Agricultural science teacher taught us then GERMINATION and the factor responsible for growth. Some of the factors are: viable seeds, moisture or water, nutrient (soil) and air (oxygen) When I meditatively considered these factors I realized that not even one out of them is un-important. If any of them isn’t available then the seed growth or germination is in jeopardy. Applying this into our lives’ journey as humans, it is evident that some factors also responsible for our own growth in every endeavors of life. Some take this serious while some others don’t.  When I say growth I do not mean increase in the number of age. Neither do I mean increase in stature. We grow in business, career, and ministry and so on. For us to grow in life we need to take these factors seriously. For instance the viabil...
