INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK: YOU CAN CONQUER YOUR WORLD, IF....

Statement: “You can conquer your world, if you can conquer your fears.”

Key Words to consider: “Conquer” and “Fears”:  

To conquer means: to overcome, to surmount, to defeat, triumph or win over a situation or somebody. An army in battle is said to conquer or win over its enemy, it defeats enemy. A football team can be said to conquer or defeat its opponent, if it scores the opponent. Similarly; a student in a competition can be said to triumph, if he/she wins the competition.

To fear means:  to be afraid, to be frighten, feel horror, to panic, to be scared or to be terrified. Thus, to fear means being afraid of something, situation or somebody.

Now the question to ask is, what are people afraid of which can prevent them from conquering their world of possibilities or achieving their dreams? Or let me be personal, what are you afraid of?

1.       Some students are afraid of a subject or a course of study, that they cannot move forward is their academic pursuits or afraid of a lecturer, because of that, they cannot pursue their dream course or profession. If a student cannot conquer fear of failure he/she cannot achieve academic/professional goals.

2.       Some people both men and women fear getting into new relationships, because of disappointment, a lady might be disappointed by a guy, for that matter, she is not ready to enter a new relationship; thus his/her fear is “disappointment”. If a lady or guy cannot overcome fear of disappointment they cannot have successful relationship.

3.       Some job seekers fear interviews, that they fear going to seek a job, they think interview is too challenging; can you imagine passing an interview, if you are afraid? Thus some unemployed youths cannot “standing on their feet to speak interviewer and pass because of fear of panel. 

Case in point 

In the University I was very much interested in “Foreign policy” and I had the desire to write my Long Essay in Foreign Policy analysis. But, in the Political Science department at the time, there was a Lecturer who most students were afraid of taking his Courses who was teaching Foreign Policy. When I submitted my proposal for the research, I was put under him as my supervisor, and I accepted the challenge. With focus and determination, at the end of the research, he gave me an ‘A’ which helped to have very good class. The question is, if I was afraid like most student were, would I be able to do the research under him?

Conclusion

Most of the time we are afraid of the unknown that we give up on our dreams and aspirations. However, note: “You can conquer your world, if you can conquer your fears.” You cannot achieve your life goals, if you are afraid of somebody or a situation. Stay bless and “Keep Hope Alive” never be afraid. Remember “Your limitations will not limit you, if you don’t limit yourself.” Conquer your fears and you will conquer your world.  Thank you, and have a wonderful week.

BEARING GRUDGE IS SELF–DISTRACTION

Bearing grudge is self-distraction. Humm you need to read this, it may be a cure to a problem or a disease you have.

Never bear grudge, it is self-distraction. You might be offended by a friend, a colleague or a boss. However do you know your offender doesn't mostly worry about how you feel, especially those intentional?

The simple solution the Bible provides for settling disputes is when there is a case between you and somebody:

i. Go to the person to resolve it; if it fails;
ii. Go with a friend to settle it, if it fails;
iii. Call the person before elders, if it fails,
iv. Consider the person an unbeliever.

After this process, never worry your heart or mind about it. If you do, you'll trouble yourself about somebody who doesn't care about you, and distract your life purpose and dreams.

Mind you, the very moment you are thinking about grudges, your world of purpose and focus is at stand still, nothing happens. You only think about hates and your mind troubles you.
At that moment the trouble causer might not even be thinking about you. Isn't that true?

So my friend, free your mind of grudges, don't harm yourself with hatred, it will cause you self-induced diseases and ailments. Free your heart, keep focus, #KeepHopeAlive never allowed anybody to trouble you, and don't trouble yourself with grudges. Stay strong, stay focus, you are bless. Cheers, Cheer up!!! #KeepVisionInMotion

TO ME, YOU ARE SPECIAL

If you can reflect on life and your generation, you can appreciate how special you are. As my audience, you are truly special to me and you are a blessing to me. Take note, every messenger sends or shares the message with people. He needs people who believe in the message and help fulfill his assignment.

As a fact, every message without audience is just an imagination. So please you are special to me and you are my sources of the blessings am counting. I love you all! Remember, those around you are very important; never take any one of them for granted.

There is one message in my mind I want to share today. Thus: "You are Special". In Jeremiah 1:5 God told Jeremiah. "Before I formed you... I know you". Take note that, before you are conceived in your mother's womb, God knows and purposed you for a reason.

One other dimension I want us to look at is “Why are you born in this generation." Why is it that you were not born in the 17th or 18th century?" This is the answer: You are born in this time, because you are needed in this generation. You are needed in your family, society and nation at this appointed time.

So count yourself important for this generation. Take steps to discover yourself, your purpose and take one step at a time, to affect your desired purpose.

Note: every problem you are dissatisfied with today, know that you are a solution to it, in one way or the other; you can do something about it. Refuse to join "The Blame Game" musicians/singers. You are a purpose, be purposeful.

You and I are special for this generation. You are for a purpose, am for a purpose. Keep track of your purpose, never lose hope, #KeepHopeAlive#KeepVIM victory is assured. Have a wonderful, wonderful day always. #KeepSmilling its good for your health, hahahahaha...

THIS LIFE IS BY GRACE

My life is by Grace.
If I think about my life,
It is by the grace of God.
If I think about my life provisions,
It is just by God's unfailing grace.
In fact, all my life I say is by Grace.

Your life is by Grace.
If you think about your life,
It is by the grace of God.
If you reflect on your life provisions,
It is truly by God's unlimited grace.
In fact, all your life am sure is by Grace.

Our lives are by Grace.
If we think about our daily lives,
They are all by the grace of God.
If we consider all our live provisions,
It is undeniably by God's loving grace.
As a matter of fact, our lives are by Grace.

PREMIER TOPIC DISCUSSED: OVERVIEW OF EDUCATION AND THE PURPOSE OF “EDUCATIONAL DIGEST” 18TH JUNE, 2017.

The first discussion on the program focused on what is education, and the purpose of the programme. From the discussions we looked at education from the broad base and technical point of view:

i.      Broad base definition: Education in the broad sense is any act or experience that has a formative effect on: The Mind; Character; and Physical ability of an individual.

In the broad sense, when education takes place, it must affect: how you think, your behaviour or moral values and physical ability to work. From this perspective, education shapes our cognitive ability, mindset, character and potentials.    

ii.   Education from the Technical point of view: is the process by which society intentionally passes on its accumulated: Knowledge; Skills; and Values from one generation to another.

With the technical meaning, education takes place when there is conscious effort by society to transfer knowledge, information, skills and values of society to learners.

From both the broad and technical definitions, education is the process whereby there is transfer of knowledge which affects how we think, our personal skills, physical abilities and value systems. Education is meant to enhance our total being; help us develop our talents; do things in a better way by applying the knowledge and skills acquired; to achieve our potentials and career goals; and to fit well into society.

According to one scholar; William Feather, “Education is being able to differentiate between, what you do know and what you do not know.  It is knowing where to go to, find out what you need to know; and it is knowing how to use the information once you get it.”

From his point of view, when learning, you must be able to identify what you do know, and what you do not know. Know where to get information about what you do not know, find the information, learn to understand and apply the knowledge, once you get it. Therefore an ignorant person is not somebody who did not know, but a person who does not know, but refuses to seek and apply knowledge.

We also looked at Categories of Learning

Categories of learning talks about the kind of things we learn, the amount of knowledge we acquire

and how we interpret knowledge. These can be in five main categories:

·         Learning as increase in what you know or an amount of knowledge you acquire. It is acquiring a lot of information or ‘knowing a lot of things’.

·         Learning as memorizing. Learning as storing of information that can be reproduced. Memorizing; storing information in your memory and be able to retrieve it.

·         Learning as acquiring facts, skill, and methods of doing things. Facts are things which actually happened or are the truth.

·         Learning as making sense or abstracting meaning; this involves relating parts of a subject matter to each other and to the real world.

·         Learning as understanding and interpreting reality in different ways. This involves understanding the world by reinterpreting or explaining knowledge (Ramsden 1992).

The purpose of purpose of the program was finally review and the way forward:

Thus, "Educational Digest" is tailored to discuss and sensitise audience on various subjects on

education, and learning, educational stakeholders, education and career development, education, potentials development and national development. The following are just a few areas which will be dealt with.

   

§  Education, Career and Personal Development: This centres on how to pursue education, career,

potentials; talent and personality development goals to achieve once purpose in life.

    

The programme is in a form of a talk show which will discuss, guide, inform, motivate and inspire listeners to achieve their vision and mission. We also plan to have school visitations and breakfast meetings with educational stakeholders. The programme is targeted at all segments of society to upgrade knowledge, skills, inspire and affect society.

The discussion was concluded with a quote from a book by the Host (Katamani M.A, 2017): “Education Key to Achieving Your Potential And Career Goals”:

“Everybody has the ability to do something great and affect his/her generation positively. Yet, without education, knowledge, information, wisdom and understanding, you will pass through the world, with almost all your potentials cork up in you, without much positive effect on your generation.”
