DON'T GIVE ROOM FOR FAILURE Skip to main content

A story of my confused state

  2018, I moved to Ogun state and had to seek employment in a school within my vicinity. As a Lagos teacher, I was used to a vibrant class, swift answers and mushy acts by my students. So I resumed at my new work place with that fully charged energy. The first day got me confused. I was to teach the primary classes, I started my class and it was obvious these children were not following. They could neither understand what I was saying nor did they show any bit of interest. It was then I knew I had to start from the scratch. First, I had to create a connection. I wanted them to understand that I am first their friend. I needed to set the foundation that they can have both a friend and teacher in one. After that, I came down to their level. I made them feel and appreciate every little progress they made. I built up their interest in education. We worked together, applying several strategies I discovered and created, and within some month the growth was evident. Eureka is a book that ...

DON'T GIVE ROOM FOR FAILURE



on my way home yesterday this just popped into my thought ( DON'T GIVE ROOM FOR FAILURE). i later got a deep insight into that and i decided to make it our topic for today.
you know back then in school i was among those were allocated hostels by the school but a friend of mine wasn't given.

 she then approached me and asked to squat with me which i agreed because i actually trusted her and had no issues with her.
when she started staying with me she met certain rules and regulations which she was forced to abide by since it was my room and she was just a squatter. 
am so sure if she had her own room she wouldn't abide by rules but since i own the room she had no choice.

 you would agree with me that if you should go spend some days with a friend or family member you would have to adjust to their lifestyle there, and if you know you can't adjust you would just have to quit staying with them.

 now the point am trying to make here it that so many of us have given failure a room in our lives.
the goal of failure as a person is to bring you down, make you depress and lastly to make you loose confidence in yourself.
and since you have given failure its own room, he finds it very easy accomplishing its goal on you because he doesn't have any terms or rules to live by.

 now am so sure you would be asking (huh! how have i given failure room in my life?)

 i have heard people say "ah this exam that i wrote i just know i will not pass"
                                             " even if it is third position i have sef at least i did not fail"
                                             "what if this thing now doesn't work" e.t.c

 don't ever be scared of failing, that way you are only giving room for failure to come in.

 negative statement made by us knowingly or unknowingly have given failure a room in our life and thus makes it difficult for success to get a room.
let me remind you that you have just one room (one mind) which can't be divide into two.
just like you cant serve two God's at a time, you can't also accommodate two people in your mind. you have the choice to give room to only one person, why choose failure?

 when you give failure room in your life it just means whatever success coming your way will just have to squat with failure, and since it is a squatter it would have to live by the rules of failure and if it can't it quits the room ( success leaves you).
whether the success squats with your failure or decides to leave, both decision would be a great loss to you. no wonder some people experience success and within a short period of time it leaves them.

 when you are full of positive thinking you have given room for success and that means when failure comes it has no choice but to squat with success or leave the room.   and either way it happens it would be of benefit to you because success has it rules and failure has no choice but to follow the rules. 

 successful men who failed greatly in life where only able to overcome it because they never gave room to failure. so when failure came it was given two options" squat with success or leave" and whatever option failure might have taken benefited them.

 the only reason you felt depressed after that sack later was because failure owns the room in your heart.
the only reason why the mockery of people made you give up on yourself was because you gave room to failure.

 the heart is yours, the room is yours
the choice is yours to make
who would you give the room to.
DON'T EVER BE SCARED OF FAILING
stop holding on to your past failures, let it go

 you can only be great if you want to be great. and the only way out is to change the ownership of that room. give it to success... TO BE CONTINUED watch out for PART 2

HOW TO COPE WITH SLOW LEARNERS

I remember my first experience with a slow learner. At first I thought he was just lazy but later I realised it wasn't laziness. He was always quite, doesn't answer questions in class and rarely relate with his peers. Within months of my stay in the school I started noticing some changes in my boy. He now attempts assignment and classwork given. He talks in class and now relates well with his classmates. The trick is to first make them feel safe in class rather than make your expectations a burden to them. Over the years I've had to teach slow Learners and it has been a wonderful experience. The link below is a podcast where I talked on how to cope with Slow Learners. It's a ten minutes audio that summarizes strategies you can put in place when you have a slow learner in class. If you have questions, I'll be glad to answer them. https://anchor.fm/MissDairo%20/episodes/How-to-cope-with-Slow-Learners-ef5bj4 Don't forget to leave a comment and share w...
