I HATE MY JOB



"You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing."  ~ Dale Carnegie.

It was Confucius who said "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life"
It will really be a pleasurable ride if our jobs was our Hobby, Life would have been one Happy song daily and we will all be filled with smiles all the way to Heaven. But in a world of very few job opportunities and an ever rising unemployed figures, finding a job you like is like looking for a needle in a haystack, how many of are willing to wait for that dream job?

As they say in our local parlance "When the desired is not available, the available becomes the desired" so many are scrubbing it out daily in miserable Jobs, job that are making them sick. Famous motivational speaker Les Brown says; "The number one killer disease in America is Heart diseases." He went on to say Many Americans have their first major heart attack on Monday mornings around 8 am, People getting ready to go to work in jobs that they hate. 

If you find yourself in a similar condition, this article is for you. Like Maya Angelou said "If you don't like something change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude" by Being Grateful for that Job instead of Complaining, Grumbling and Murmuring as that will only make the Situation worse - Remember the Bible account of The Children of Israel, how a journey of Forty Days was extended to Forty years and all the associated pains, discomfort, loses and deaths all because they Murmured, Complained and Grumbled. Gratitude will open the door for New things to Happen and it will also make you feel better about yourself and the Situation and in time you will witness changes.

You may ask me how do I feel grateful for a Job that I hate? Consider this:
*There are Hundreds, perhaps thousands who will gratefully accept that same job you loath.
*In a country of high unemployed figures, you are fortunate to have one.
*You are better off than most of your Country Men and Women who earn far less than you.
*In Life generally, there is always something to be grateful for.
Remember the proverb "I was complaining I had no shoes, until I met someone who had no feet"

See You On Top

POLITICIANS WITH DEAD CONSCIENCE - LIKE YAR'ADUA LIKE SUNTAI

Image
To say Many Politicians do not have a conscience is an understatement, they are callous and wicked. In a Nation of so much poverty, can our Politicians justify entertaining guest with champagne that cost as much as 150,000 Naira a bottle in cartons and on daily basis? Why fly Private Jets in the midst of so much lack? Must they travel in long conveys, even in the face of Fuel Scarcity? Nothing typifies the heartlessness of Many Politicians as much as their failure to pay civil servants their meager Monthly Income. I have stated elsewhere that our failure to ask those we elected or allowed to be selected into Public Office questions is one contributing factor to their display of arrogance and disdain for the masses. Why were the Governors unable to pay Salaries (Including some States that pockets 13% Derivation Monthly)? Governance is all about Management, we knew of the dwindling Oil revenue, how come we were unprepared for it? Yes we hail the so called Bail

THE KAIAMA DECLARATION ALMOST 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHERE DID WE MISS IT  - Part 1 One of the best pieces of Declaration and one that changed the way the Ijaws were viewed by the Nigerian State is The Kaiama declaration. 11 th December, 2014 will make it 16 years since that Historical document authored by some of the best minds in the Ijaw Nation was made. The declaration had 10 Observations and 10 Resolutions. Where do we stand today viz a viz these Observations and Resolutions I have reproduced here the Historic Document and my Personal deductions in red. THE OBSERVATIONS a. That it was through British colonization that the IJAW NATION was forcibly put under the Nigerian State b. That but for the economic interests of the imperialists, the Ijaw ethnic nationality would have evolved as a distinct and separate sovereign nation, enjoying undiluted political, economic, social, and cultural AUTONOMY. c. That the division of the Southern Protectorate into East and West

TINUBU: IS THIS THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME?

 TINUBU: IS THIS THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME? “Maturity is the capacity to endure uncertainty.” ~ John Huston Finley Nigerians by now are used to the unpredictability of governance as we have endured mostly uncertainty in the past eight (8) years But I think supporters and none supporters of BAT would have hoped for a better way to commence his days in office and not to be welcomed with uncertainty occasioned by a needless pronouncement and the nightmare of fuel scarcity that followed  Having a positive start for the administration would have given the nay sayers the impression that there may be light at the end of the tunnel after all.  The damage control notwithstanding, it's obvious our President is convinced that if Nigerians either directly or Mahmoudly opted to have him as president amidst uncontrolled inflation, bitting fuel scarcity and unavailability of cash due to the ill conceived and not well thought out policy of currency redesign his Party embarked upon, then we are a
