A Quick Measage On Activating Success

Books are meant to be read
Just as we need foods to grow our bodies, we also need a kind of 'mental food' to grow ourselves mentally. If you don't put food in your mouth, there is no way you will not get hungry, likewise if we do not regurlarly 'feed' our brain with knowledge, there is no way we can become brilliant students or become good at what we do.



Your friends
The friends you keep determine you
Except for personal development through reading, another factor which determine our success academically and in life generally is the friends we keep.



Jihn Rohn said,"You are the average of the five people you spend most times with". This is true, look at your life and also the life of your friends, are you not in the same level?



The friends we keep either help us to get to the top or bring us down to their own level. Make sure you choose friends wisely, distant yourself from friends that are affectiong you negatively. They are like the anchor used to tie a ship down, they will continue to drag you to down either to their own level or below it .



I will summarise this short food for thought with this quote:


You are the same today as you will be in five years time except for two things: the books you read and the people you meet - Charlie Jones



Reference : Who told you,"you are a dullard?"

Domainking Crash: How to get your domain back

It's still a shock to those of us that hosted sites and registered domains with domainking Nigeria that our sites and domains are gone. For website designers, it was a real mess, how do one explain to clients that the site they paid for is gone? I bet most of us lost clients to the mess. In this post I will be explaining to those that registered domains with domainking.ng how they can retrieve their domains back (as I did to mine). One thing we must know is that, domainkingNigeria is just a domain reseller , they actually register domains with publicdomainregistry.com (PDR). Now to move your domain, you need to contact PDR to help you move your domain to another reseller . Luckily for me, I found another reseller of PDR named Qservers . The following are steps to moving your domain: First register with Qservers Download and fill this form from PDR here NOTE: you have to fill the form manually, then scan it. Since you are transferring to qservers, you will

Humans do not want to change their minds

I'm having a rethink about the the title of this post, maybe it should have been "Humans do not want to be told to change their". In other to protect our ego, we humans resist being told that we are wrong - whether its about our favorite football club or about our religion or about the politicians we choose to support - we feel that our ego is threatened when we are told by others that we are wrong. Permit me to share with you an excerpt from James Harvey Robinson’s enlightening book 'The Mind in the Making:' "We sometimes find ourselves changing our minds without any resistance or heavy emotion, but if we are told we are wrong, we resent the imputation and harden our hearts. We are incredibly heedless in the formation of our beliefs, but find ourselves filled with an illicit passion for them when anyone proposes to rob us of their companionship. It is obviously not the ideas themselves that are dear to us, but our self-esteem which is threatened. .

Dear Parents, Stop Killing Us:

Our parents are increasingly forgetting that the child is more important than the grade. In a bid to get the child the grade,  they create someone who thinks that cutting corners is the way to get things done.  In a bid to make the child "happy", they create someone who believes hard work is for people who can't afford the cost of cutting corners.  Our parents have forgotten that they can get us good grades but the good things that really matter come from hardworking. You can get me a job,  but you can't get me job satisfaction. Our parents are forgetting that their God-given responsibility is to bring up the child and not his report card. Our parents are helping us get special examination centers so that we can "make our results at once" rather than teaching us to study smart.  Our parents are telling us that we can get anything we want just because we want them and not because we are ready to work for them. Our
