HAPPINESS the best medicine 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 ...

HAPPINESS the best medicine

Today our Pastor preached on happiness the
best medicine, he talked about the benefits of
happiness. I so much enjoyed the sermon
because i could relate with it.

Few years ago I use to hate myself, I hardly saw
reasons to smile. Don't you try laughing or
gisting beside me because my countenance
would change thinking I am the reason for the
discussion.

I started having issues with my heart
I couldn't sleep without putting a wet cloth on
my chest.
I feared I might have a heart attack because I
was always thinking.

I hardly slept, I do cry for no reason. To sum it
up I HATED MYSELF
I found myself in the University and I decided to
start a new life there, I made new friends.
I learnt to love myself

I would look at myself in the mirror and sing my
praise.
I just decided to be happy no matter what
happens
I decided to reduce the rate at which I think
Wetin wan happen go happen
And to God be the glory the heart issues
stopped, I became light inside
The difference was so clear, everything about
me changed.

Happiness is the most effective medicine you
can think of. It makes you younger and more
beautiful. It makes you healthy. It attracts
people to you. Happiness has no side effect.

There is no overdose.
I wonder why some people are having sleepless
nights over Christmas celebration.
Growing up we were so poor Christmas wasn't
different to other days. OK maybe we might just
be lucky to have bones and touch of meat in our
plates.

The funny part is that our neighbours thought we
dey chop better food because each time we are
eating our concoction we would be acting drama.
"Favour pass me the bowl of meat" "Aunty Titi I
want more salad" that was the only thing you
would hear. Added to the fact that we were
plumpy it would be so difficult convincing
someone that we soak garri down every Sunday
or that I don't even know what salad is.

Whatever you have
Wherever you find yourself
Be happy
Be thankful
Money isn't everything
Rich men cry too, they have issues
Thinking does no good to you.
Don't use your hand and do yourself
If na garri you see drink this Christmas abeg dey
happy drink am
# Jesustibab

MY TALENT, MY PRIDE( DISCOVER YOURSELF)

Bola,Tayo, Ayo amd Bimpe where very close friends. they are the type of kids every parents would always pray to have. Bola was a very talented singer, she sings like an angel and everyone adores her. Tayo too was a good dancer, he is so flexible that one would wonder if his body where made of foam. Ayo wasn't left out, he was so good with spellings, he could spell words those older than him would find difficult spelling. Bimpe felt like the odd one out,"why am i the one without a talent"she would always say to herself. whenever she went out with her friends for talents audition she would always feel left out because she has nothing to present. she would always cry her eyes out sometimes wishing she was her friends. she envied her friends talents and most times prayed to God to make her a singer, dancer or a good speller. when she saw her prayers have been ignored by God she started attending dance and music classes, she would always go to her friend Ayo to teach ...

HOW I LOST MY JOB

HOW I LOST MY JOB (2016) The company's new managing director called me into his office. MD: Titi I'm very sure you're aware of the financial setback this company is facing and right now all hands ought to be on deck towards restructuring the company. Me: Yes Sir MD: Right now I need people that can get me ten million naira per month through marketing and the way I'm seeing you, you can't befriend those men that can put money into this business. Or can you? Me: No Sir MD: Well, I need those who can go to any length to get me that money. In that case your service is no longer needed here... I couldn't get another job for months until February when I got the teaching job, I was told I'm going to be paid an amount which is my previous salary divided by 3.
