SOURCES AND RESOURCES

-

You think you've figured life out? You know nothing. There is no end to learning. Don't limit your self to an idea. Life is bigger and more dimensional than you could ever imagine. So, take a deep breath and stop assuming, judging, 'rail-roading" or limiting. Have an open mind and you will yet be shocked by what you find
My lecturer once said to me (when I was in school), if you don't read, you'll end up paying those that have read.
Reading is a habit that develops your person. It's like feeding your body. But in the case of reading you are feeding your mind.
Years later as a teacher in a school, I told my students (when I was still teaching) that books are sources while those that read the books and assimilate them are called resource persons.
You value is equal to what you have inside of you. Develop the reading culture and develop yourself so that your wealth will not be in your possessions or your bank statement but in you. This is why you can relocate a resource person to a "dry land" and he'll still survive. Why, because his sustenance is in himself! (that statement is correct even in the spiritual sense).
Have a great day folks!!

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

-

An unhealthy lifestyle will raise your blood pressure over time. And the higher your blood pressure becomes, the higher your risk of having a stroke or heart attack in the future. But the good news is that if you have high blood pressure, healthy changes will help to bring it down. And you don't have to wait until you have high blood pressure to make healthy lifestyle changes. The more you can reduce your blood pressure, the lower your risk of a heart attack or stroke will be. 1. Blood Pressure Diet - Eat less salt Too much salt raises your blood pressure, so it is important to eat as little as possible. In fact, some people with high blood pressure may be able to avoid blood pressure medicines by cutting down on salt. Most of the salt you eat is not what you add to your food, but is in prepared foods like bread, breakfast cereals and ready meals. Don’t add salt to food when cooking or at the table. When shopping for food, check the labels and choose low-s...

Marriage is like Sky Diving ...

First of all, let me show you some precautions for skydiving: 1. Safety is EVERYONE'S responsibility. 2. Don't ever get complacent. 3. Review your emergency procedures before the jump. 4. Get a gear check before the jump. 5. Always approach the plane from the rear. 6. 200 jumps are required before undertaking the jump. 7. Perform handle checks before preparing to exit the plane. 8. Be very aware of everyone around you at break-off. 9. Be mentally prepared for malfunctions and always be ready to perform your emergency procedures. 10. Know which way is North, South, East, and West on the jump. Now, simulate that to marriage and you have an amazing recipe for a sensible marriage experience. I say sensible because that should be the baseline for any marriage. And also some marriages I see these days are so insensible. Please take note of the following if you are about to undertake a skydive (marriage): 1. This action is dangerous. It gives a high. Yes. It's very satisfying. Yes...

I've been encountering some amazing posts recently! Please read! E. I. Oputa approves this post! *** Copied *** SCISSORS COUPLES: 👫✂✂✂ I needed to use the scissors this morning & as I finished with it, I looked at it carefully & I saw that, the scissors models an ideal couple. Let's see some lessons every couple should learn from the scissors so that we can become better couples & build enviable homes. LESSON 1: The scissors is always in pairs & that's where its usefulness is. Once you see one part & the other part is not there, it is useless no matter how beautiful it is. The effectiveness of every marriage is lost when couples are not together. Separation & divorce destroy the effectiveness & usefulness of every marriage. Remember, 'united we stand, divided we fall'. Separation is not only when you separate physically & you are no longer living together. There are many couples who are together under the same roof but are spirituall...
