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

Vox Populi Vox Dei

 A sọrọ nitori a jẹ iran ti o ṣe iyẹn. I am not a fluent Yoruba speaker, but I know a few words. If you also don't speak fluent Yoruba, you're probably wondering what that text above means. It means 'We talk because we are a generation that does that'.  What I mean by "We talk" is the protests. I mean, imagine if it wasn't this generation that this was happening to, other generations might have cowered in fear and let SARS and Covid 19 to destroy and take away everything important to them. (Not like Nigerians ever cower). The reason we talk is because something is wrong and we don't like it, so we say something. We say something. Don't feel guilty, that you are not out there protesting with our other Nigerians. You are also protesting, just not physically, you could be praying, donating and some of the other things we are doing. I don't protest physically either, technically because I'm too young to go out alone much more to protest. I prot
