Victim Or Victorious

-

A father asked his son what he wanted to be in the future. The son said happy. Then the father said that he doesn't understand what he meant. The boy replied that the father doesn't understand life.

Through ten years I've lived I have observed many kinds of people. For the sake of this article I will break these people down into two categories; those with a victim mentality and those with a victor mentality.
Those with the victim mindset interpret the world totally different from those with victor mindset. They view the world and its obstacles as an unfair challenge and those with the victor mindset view obstacles as an opportunity to overcome. 

Which one are you?
1. The victim believes the whole world is against them/The victor believes the whole world needs them.
2. The victim sees a challenge as an obstacle/The victor sees an obstacle as an opportunity.

3. The victim depends on handouts from others to succeed/The victor makes do with what they already have to succeed.

4. The victim is never satisfied and always looking for more/The victor is grateful for what they already have.

5. The victim feels like everybody owes them something/The victor believes nobody owes them anything.

6. The victim lives off other people/The victor lives to bless other people.

    I wonder what I am... What about you? I think I'd rather be a victor and have victory, than be a victim and endure failure.

Opportunity and the Doors of Life

Sister Act 2 is a movie with a major life lesson. OPPORTUNITY! Everyone needs to know that word. The key phrase in that movie was "If wanna be somebody, if you wanna go somewhere, then you better wake up and pay attention". For playful children, it's just hard to pay attention sometimes because they're always playing and always want to. Another thing I noticed in that movie was the setting of the church. It wasn't exactly the land of opportunity. But the opportunity that was actually out there was the one the actor character did not see. I'm trying to say that you should always look for the open doors in life, or sooner or later, every single door will be closed. Not all chances come twice.

How Does my Behavior Affect Others

-
 Your attitude/behavior can positively or negatively affect a person, their behavior, their actions, their attitudes and even their perceptions. A leader or team member who has positive attitudes toward other co-workers can positively influence those around them. Your smile can be a huge variable in someone's day. What Is Behavior And Its Examples Behavior is an action that is observable and measurable. Behavior is observable. It is what we see or hear, such as a student sitting down, standing up, speaking, whispering, yelling and writing. For example, a student may show anger by making a face, crossing his arms, yelling, and turning away from the teacher. (All behaviors listed are unacceptable anywhere).  How Your Words Affect Others Words influence others and build relationships. They can also tear down relationships. Simply put, language holds massive, colossal power to manifest change, whether it's good or bad. How Does My Attitude Affect My Behavior Attitudes can positivel

Is That My Landlord?!

 I don't actually have a Landlord, it's just something someone would say if they saw their angry Landlord marching toward their house. But now, why is he angry and coming your way? Well, he's coming because in the few days you've been living in his apartment, you have obliterated the neighborhood with your litter, the neighbors are getting mad, and everyone is shouting at you. Some people are even moving away because they can't keep up with the smell, which is bad for Mr Chinedu Adedayo, your Landlord's business.  I know you all understand the scenario, it's an angry Landlord coming to scold you for littering. I guess I and Mr Adedayo think alike, we both hate littering. Littering is bad, it spoils the Earth and its beauty. Everything good about the Earth becomes bad just because a few people decided that their legs wouldn't walk anymore to stand up and find a dustbin. It's a serious issue around the world. I know that every single person reading thi
