What Is The Best Advice You've Ever Gotten From Someone

From Xceptionals' Arena

Honestly, the best advice I've ever received from someone, it'd seem short (when I say short, I'm literally talking about the few words it contains). However, this advice is from one who ought to be my “earthly guardian angel” - and that person is my mother. Though she gives me advice each time she seizes the opportunity to have me around her, and every one of them I always considers the best advice (because she can never imagine herself telling or leaving me to jump from a height that I'd break my leg). Hence, while admitting that her advises to me are always the best, some are “bester” (laughs). While asking this question (what is the best advice you have ever received from someone), I guess you expects only a one answer (the best among others), with that in mind I'm giving out my own.

The best advice I've ever gotten from someone else is that patience is virtue. Deep inside of me, right now, I can picture as she seated on the old wooden chair while she instructed me to grab hold of my ears while she inspires me with the words.She further added that “this patience is hard, expensive and could be costly, to operate but that'll only be for the first moments you wants to start practicing it. It takes the heart “determination and disregard for ego and anger" to achieve this applauding task, and the good thing about it is that when you finally succeeds while get over the bumps that will always come up on the way to its success, you'll definitely understand what life is more about, more. Son, if you starve your heart and teach him the deep meaning of this words that I'm giving you, to the extent that he so wishes and furiously desires to carry it out, you'll successfully grab life on her throat and keep her back on the wall. The fact is that, some people will consider you "weak" but you are not really what they thinks but, wise! Self confidence will always gets you the answers you need, hassle-free…”

It has been a couple of years that she gave me this “antidote”. But they never stops echoing in my mind each time I'm intensively curious about life's “blows" (smiles). In my blog XceptionalsArena when I feels like calling off the shots, maybe because I “thinks that no one supports or subscribes in the blog” I still feels the words unfilterily echos through my mind. Like she says “...it only takes patience to achieve your heart desires...". 

Like I noted earlier, she gives me advice and she never tells me that this is the best, but I considered it to be the best advice - at least for me. And if I seizes the opportunity to pin someone down for a moral talk, I presents this. Hence, I'm giving you the same word Patience Is Virtue, understand and practice it from now!

Is It Proper To Jealous?

From Xceptionals' Arena

I was just trying to shut my eyes, the past few hours has been very hectic, when this very friend reconnected me back with the reality with a tap on the shoulder. According to him, he've called me twice before giving the tap. (Wow, I even thought I'm just about to close my eyes. But he is testifying that I'm already on the journey, for at least, a minute.) I sluggishly jerked and separated my eyelids hugs from each other. OMG, I'm tired, and my eyes must have been unhappy for the early-cutoff.  "What's the matter please?" I inquired, with a dainty and visibility of weakness boldly seen on my words. He replied, I want to ask you a question". "Go on please" I replied back.  He asked me " Have You Ever Been Jealous Of Someone's Success? "   The question came flying like a drone, across my ears. Few thoughts came running in, at least, "... you need to understand what he asked; understand what he wants to hear; decide either to...

WHY I CONCEDED DEFEAT TO BUHARI This is what Dr. Goodluck Ebere Jonathan the former president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria said. In his words;  “I was fully informed about the manipulations, intrigues, intimidation and betrayals. The consequences of not conceding were only better imagined. My natural instinct for peace automatically surfaced. I was going to make a decision which reflected my commitment to that ideal. This is the foundation of my essence. In my periodic projections into the future, I did not see how I would be presiding over any kind of chaos. I was prepared to promote the peace, unity and progress of Nigeria." Former president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Dr. Goodluck Ebere Jonathan  This is a huge sacrifice, but I hope my readers believe me when I say it turned out to be one of the easiest decisions I ever took while in office.

Moringa is proved to be highly beneficial to the body. Hence, its health benefits should not be undermined. "Moringa trees have been used to combat malnutrition, especially among infants and nursing mothers. Since moringa thrives in arid and semiarid environments, it may provide a versatile, nutritious food source throughout the year. Moringa leaves have been proposed as an iron-rich food source (31% Daily Value per 100 g) to combat iron deficiency". The tree contains an amazing array of healthy nutrients. In developing countries, moringa has the potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development, and support sustainable landcare. It may be used as forage for livestock, a micronutrient liquid, a natural anthelmintic, and possible adjuvant.
