GENERAL VIEW

Image
General view is synonymous with survey; overall picture; overall view; general picture. What does it mean to have a general view? Marriam Webster dictionary, defines general view as general opinion or an overall view. On this note, It is known of how easy it is for us to box people, life and situations as if there will never change. We expect so much within a particular area that they can't move beyond that boundary to us. Most cases, we hold on to memories where people have failed or made mistakes and we limit or box them to that mistake and failure, forgetting they is something called growth, development and change. We feel they should act that we because we feel they should through their mustajws or situations  When we see things, mistakes and situations with a general view we leave room for growth and improvements. Here is a better way to explain my point. So in introducing myself, I spoke of an organisation (in the course of this work, i will refer to it as a perso...

Hopeful or Hopeless?

Image
The world is so exhausting with so many hatred and inhumanity. Most times, the ignorant finds peace more than the informed, because with knowledge often comes unrest. What shall we then say: 1. Is this life meant to last forever? No. 2. Since people wish and act differently, it means things can be good and things can also go sour due to man's desires, actions and inactions. 3. So, are we helpless to people's actions, desires and inactions because we cannot control them? Yes and No. Yes, we cannot control them. But that is why as men of the spirit ( Spirit of Christ Jesus), we are lead by the spirit. Better put, the spirituals are our normal. Hence, beyond man's desires (even ours), God will direct us, giving us way of escape or better ways to lead our lives amidst unfavorable situations. The life we have in Christ is eternal life which is preserved by God himself, so we cannot loose it. We are not hopeless.  Certainly not hopeless to the devices of the devil, as...

Kids Should be Kids

Alicia Trautwein1st CEO at The Mom Kind “There needs to be a lot more emphasis on what a child CAN DO instead of what he can not do.” Dr. Temple Grandin In the course of being one of the kids Summer coding/programming instructor at the Akwa Ibom State e- Library, IBB Way Uyo in August 2021; We had kids who their parents felt  would always perform less than expected and those who parents think should or would always act a certain way. But the irony of it all is that, they are a lot different from their parent's narrative. (I know that elders in already leading and knowing life, try to guide their Wards in ways they feel could help their future. But the truth is, kids should be kids. They should be groomed properly with love and patience and not in haste) Therefore, instructors (at the e -Library then) tried as much as possible to give the kids a leveled ground to walk on. The result was amazing! It turned out that these kids felt alive! They felt like their dr...

THE WARRIOR QUEEN

Image
So, Aunty Mary has been complaining about how I keep the lights on till morning while sleeping. When using a meter, you tend to value every unit of light you are using, as it is not the general estimate that was previously used, which allows for excess. And it got me wondering how I will explain the lights on to her. In fact, how do I get to tell her these things or should I put it this way? So, I am not a Trophy woman. So most of the time you find the lights on, it means I am up working. Cambridge Dictionary Defines a Trophy Wife as "a young attractive woman who marries an older Man that is rich and success for the comfort and security he can offer her". The idea behind it is that, the man is too old for such a young and beautiful woman but since he could afford to provide for what she needs (comfort and security), he gets her as a Trophy. Personally, I see a Trophy Woman as one who does not like getting her hands dirty. She marries or befriends people who do the...

kids and their ways

Image
As a child tutor, I constantly see adults (including me) trying to make kids perfect people without mistakes. This is when we know very well that we were not any wiser at their age. Please, Let them experience life for themselves. Lets just tell them the 'why' we said some things are or where wrong. So as to help them make informed decisions. The above Picture shows Esther and grace (There are siblings). Esther never jokes with her kid Sister. And the same goes to most of the kids with younger ones. One is young Priestly. Priestly loves and cares for his kid sister so much that it is very endearing to grant him favours to check up on her. Kids also try to obey and care for their loved ones (whether older or younger) in the best way they can. So, Aunties, Uncles and Parents, let's try to also commend their good works instead of always mentioning their wrongs. Let's encourage our little children (our boys and girls) positively. They also have mental h...

Managing Stress

Image
Photo: Glacier Media ( via Shutterstock) I have really wondered why most parents will be great parents at home but at their duty posts they are unforgiving tyrants. Photo: Alamy Let me just ask, the nurses, teachers, lecturers, doctors, drivers, nonacademic staffs etc, that we all complain about, are most of them not wonderful parents at home and to their relations? Photo: The Mother List What then happened? Stress is simply emotional pressure as a result of other pressure. Hence, the person struggles to restore his emotion to its previous state. In the cause of this, they may treat any counter action or effort as enemy and be aggressive. Photo: The Business journals I am not playing with words when I say "humans are wonderful, and will bring out the worst/best in you". Allow the best and curtail the worst. These persons in these offices and capacities are humans and so, can react to situations. It obviously starts when ...
