ARE YOU CONNECTED 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 ...

ARE YOU CONNECTED

On Tuesday I had to charge my phone with my laptop since the head of my charger got spoilt.
My cord was connected to my laptop and to my phone, I turned my laptop on but my phone refused to charge.

I thought the cord was faulty, so I changed the position but it still wasn't charging, I then decided to check my phone.
When I checked my phone I noticed the phone wasn't connected to the cord, I fixed it and it started charging.

It then occurred to me that the reason majority of us aren't growing is because we are not connected to the right source.

What does it mean to be connected? It means to be fixed to a source which adds or diminish your growth(My definition)
Just like I thought my phone was connected and wondered why it wasn't charging, majority of us think we are rightly connected but we have no growth to show for it.

There is no way you would be rightly connected and have no growth to show for it.
If you notice your level of growth last year is still the same level this year then you need to check your connection.

The first set of connection you need to check when having growth issues are:
Your friends
What you see
What you hear
What you digest
Some people say you have no control over what you see or hear but the truth is YOU ARE IN CONTROL.

You can't be in a brothel/club and expect to hear or see things that would impact you positively, likewise you can't be in a seminar/Empowerment forum and expect to see or hear vulgar words.

Unlike your phones which you unplug after been fully charged, there is nothing like been fully charged when it comes to human beings.
You can never stop growing, everyday you search for positive connections that would take would take your growth higher.

Not everyone should be your friend
Scrutinize people before making friends out of them because they have a big role to play in your growth.
Attend seminars, Youth Fellowships, Connect with great minds on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram e.t.c.

There are great opportunities everywhere but there is a level of growth you need at each step to access these opportunities.
So how connected are you?
What is your growth level?
Are you increasing or diminishing in growth?
WORK ON YOUR CONNECTION.

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...

UNDERSTANDING the way to PERFECTION

Perfect sontin!!! I want a perfect job, husband,wife, boyfriend,girlfriend, I want to be perfect. These are demands we make daily. You can't get a perfect sontin, job, husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend... These are answers we get when we ask for the above. What exactly is perfection? Though the dictionary defined it as without fault, weakness, to be complete, exact and correct But in the actual sense understanding comes before perfection There is actually no perfect human on earth, but there perfect humans on earth if understanding is placed first. Perfection to me is "knowing the fault, weakness, lack... Of a person, thing, job or yourself, understanding it is already a part of them and deciding those you can change and those that can't be changed, then seeing the person, thing, job or yourself as perfect. For someone or something to be perfect You must have listed out their weakness and faults. Note those you can change and work on them Note those you can...
