Inspiration quaters.

                                Man Up Sometimes, things meant for you elude you, just because you are too scared to  face the little hurdle standing in front of you, life is beautiful but only the courageous enjoy it's  beauty. We are allbmade out of our challenges,  just like a gold that must pass through fire to be refined before it becomes that treasure everyone wants to lay their hands on, same way we all need to face our fears and man up to whatever situation you  find yourself in,  only then can you  get that which you truly desire and not that which the world decides to give you. Once I heard a story of a guy and a lady who were secret admirers, the lady seemed, to be one of those who are always on top of their game, she looked like those ladies who are expensive to  maintain. and the guy looked at himself he's not one of the hottest guys around he doesn't have...

               *EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE* There are many definitions for the word emotions. The simplest I found is 'a person's internal state of being and involuntary physiological response to an object or a situation, based on or tied to physical state and sensory data. Emotion is also called feeling, mood, etc. The basic human emotions are Anger, Fear, Sadness, Happiness, Disgust, Surprise and Anxiety. There are others. Maybe like me you grew up with the notion that the emotions you display is characteristic of your personality and that you can't do anything to control them. I remember I'd always tell myself 'I'm melancholy, that's why I always have mood swings, get angry and feel irritated easily'. The definition of emotion I have up there even says that it's an involuntary physiological response, suggesting that *There's nothing I can do about it*. As young people, we have to come to terms with the fact that we should be in control...

                               *DEPRESSION* "a state of mind producing serious *long-term* unhappiness, low morale, lowering of enjoyment of life, inability to visualize a happy future which may include thoughts of *self-inflicted injury or suicide*. There are many factors that contribute to the onset of depression including genetics, changes in hormone levels, certain medical conditions, stress, grief or difficult life circumstances. Our focus factors are stress, grief or difficult life circumstances. We all have down moments. Every single one of us. Those times when we can't make sense out of the situations surrounding us, when life chooses to show us it's bad side. Challenging moments that dampens our spirit, soul and body. The aim of this discuss is dual. First is to encourage us to share our life's challenges with trusted people. When we face difficult situations, it does a lot of good to h...

              *MOTIVATION* "an incentive or reason for doing something" The reason behind what we do and how we do it is motivation. Your level of excitement, passion, interest and commitment to a task, goal, job or project is fuelled by your motivation. Motivation can be Extrinsic (bases on a reward or to avoid a punishment) or Intrinsic (bases on a personal decision, reward or feeling of fulfillment) The two kinds of motivation have their rightful place and cannot be substituted for another in appropriate situations. However, there is a lesson to learn.  There is a level external motivation will take you and won't go further. If all the reasons you have for pursuing a goal or growing your idea or pursuing excellence in your academics or career are based on external motivation, you're not likely to reach the greatest height there is. Ask yourself: why do I want to do this, why am I studying hard at school, why do I want to develop this...

                      "                                 Assumption "I know him very well,  if I ask him for help he won't help me out so there's no point in asking" is it not her?  She's too loquacious she can't keep any secret.  Is it not in this Nigeria that we are in? There are no jobs available.  Is it not Liverpool?  They can never win trophies. "Is it not this is it not that"  Now that's how many of us end up losing everything,  and many a time make mistakes that are totally avoidable. Assumptions are mere excuses and by the way we all know,  only failures give excuses.  It has gotten so bad that some people assume for others,  assumption Jason never taken anyone to the apex level rather it throws them down rock bottom.  If you liberal life based on assumption,  you will end up...
