www.nairaup.com

Quote of the day is given by Bright Okpocha popularly called Basketmouth by his comedy fans as follows.

QUOTE

"Be thankful for what you have, you will end up getting more, if you concentrate on what you do not have, you will never have enough".

 MORAL

You should try to always develop the attitude and mind of being thankful and grateful for whatever it is you have presently because there are lots of people out there thinking of getting to where you are right now. See yourself as being successful in every ramification of life and avoid concentrating your mind only on things you do not have.

It may be that your neighbor just bought a brand new car and you are like, 'I wish I could buy that new car' but fail to realize that you are blessed with a good home, a lovely spouse and children or maybe with good health and the gift of life, instead of being thankful to God for these blessings and goodness he has shown you, you begin to grumble and think of only the new car your neighbor just bought. Its very painful that a lot of persons ignore the good, wonderful gifts and blessings God has given them and started searching for things that if they are thankful enough for the things they already have, they will surely get.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: THERE ARE BASICALLY TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE WHO WILL SAY THAT.....

www.nairaup.com

Quote of the day is given by Ray Goforth as follows.

QUOTE

"There are basically two types of people who will say that you cannot make a difference in this world, the first is those who are afraid to try and the second is those who are afraid you will succeed". 


INSIGHT

There are basically two types of people you should be mindful of each time you want to make a difference in a particular thing that everyone thinks there is no other alternative or way of making a difference,
the first to deal with is those who will tell you straight in your face that "you can never succeed in it", they will give you all kind of reasons why you would not be able to succeed, all in an attempt to discourage you from achieving your true aims. The other set of people are those that are so afraid that when you succeed, all attention would be placed on you and not them, they are scared that your success will belittle their kind of person and so they try every means possible to sabotage your plans and effort.

In conclusion, you should never give in to their negative persuasion and be ever firm to your decisions in making a difference in whatever you set out to do.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: IF YOU CANNOT EXPLAIN IT SIMPLY, YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT WELL.....

www.nairaup.com

Quote of the day is given by Albert Einstein, one of the greatest minds the world has ever known as follows.

QUOTE

"If you cannot explain it simply, you do not understand it well enough".

 INSIGHT

As the above saying goes, it is better when explaining a particular thing or topic, to make it as easily understandable in such a way that even a lame man can get the message you are trying to pass across.
Avoid using unnecessary, vague and ambiguous language in the course of explaining something.

The best way you can find out if someone is very good at a particular thing he or she is explaining about is to check if you can easily understand what the person is saying, if not, it could be that the person is as confuse as you are in what he is explaining about and simply do not understand it well enough.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: SUCCESS IS WALKING FROM FAILURE TO FAILURE WITH NO LOSS OF ENTHUSIASM.......

www.nairaup.com

Our quote of the day is given by Winston Churchill as follows.

QUOTE

"Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of Enthusiasm".

 MORAL 

Success is a 'big' word that means different things to different people, true and lasting success never comes very easy, it takes a little more time and commitment to get to where you really want to be.
To be successful in any field or endeavor, there are some times when you would have to come face to face with the man called FAILURE who is bent on making you have a rethink on where you really wish to be in life, a rethink that will make you take a step backward and give up on your dreams and aspirations in life. Your duty is never to give up to that thought of taking a step backward, you should be determined and take the bull by the horn, keep on walking no matter the failures you encountered along the way with excitement and more desire in achieving your goals and purpose and surely you would get there.

See failure as a motivator, a teacher to teach and motivate you more than ever, to keep you up and doing, it is like when your house is on fire, you just don't stand aside and watch it burn with all your properties inside instead you look for a way to quench that fire and avoid further destruction. Same also goes with failure.

www.nairaup.com

Quote of the day is given by Bill Gates who is currently the world's richest man according to Forbes.

QUOTE

"If you are born poor, its not your mistake but if you die poor, its definitely your mistake".

MORAL

Being born into a poor family is never an excuse to remain poor for the rest of your life. History can testify of men and women with very humble beginning who were born into very poor families but despite their humble beginning, they were able to make it through the hurdles of life.
If your parents are very poor, it is as a result of the wrong decisions they made when they where growing up, its is up  to you to decide if to follow the footsteps of them or to become very successful in life.


There is opportunity for everyone in life to become the best in his or her chosen field or endeavor, no matter the circumstances and challenges preventing you from making your mark in life, you are still the only one to decide either to let them tear you apart or just use them as a stepping stone to your breakthroughs in life.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: THERE IS GREAT POWER IN KNOWLEDGE ONLY WHEN ONE LEARNS HOW TO ACT....

 QUOTE OF THE DAY: THERE IS GREAT POWER IN KNOWLEDGE ONLY WHEN ONE LEARNS HOW TO ACT....
Quote of the day is an anonymous quote.

QUOTE  

" There is great Power in Knowledge Only when one Learns HOW to ACT."

MORAL

A lot of persons like to go with the phrase 'Knowledge is Power', as much as this is correct, there is particularly something missing in the phrase they fail to realize and that special ingredient is the word 'ACTION'.
No matter the type, quality or sophisticated knowledge you may think you have acquired in life, without the action of putting what you know into action, you could be as worthless as any other person down the street without such knowledge. One of the major difference between a successful person and a non successful person is the extent with which the successful person makes good use of what he or she knows while the other relies on just knowing. 

A man with little knowledge that knows how to make very good use of it could be far more successful and powerful than a man with plenty of knowledge but do not know how to make it best come out of it.

Acquired knowledge that have not been put into good or better use is as good as 'dead'. Knowledge on its own is a potential form of power but its usefulness is clearly determined by its use. Show me a person with Knowledge and no Power and I will show you someone that possess both. The difference is based on levels of achievements. The person that has the spirit of putting what he knows into action ends up achieving more than the person that do not, period!

Adding directional arrows and notes to screenshots in your posts helps you to achieve the following;

The arrows are drawn in such a way they are boldly visible and are pointing to the item your are emphasizing on the screenshot.
  3. It makes your blog post look beautiful and attractive; most of your blog readers get bored easily with too many write up on your blog, the best way to solve this problem is to include screenshots with beautifully drawn arrows and written notes to create a sense of appeal for your readers.

The above situations can be very frustrating but if you should take a deeper look at the quote above, you would discover the true essence of what the man of God said "set your eyes by Faith in the Lord" and "continue looking until the tide turns in your favour".
