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 cove

YES!!! MONEY GROWS ON TREES

We all must have heard it one way or the other that money grows on trees. I heard it first from my dad, I was so furious my dad hasn't paid my party fee. I cried and told him I must attend it and he replied saying "DO YOU THINK MONEY GROWS ON TREES". I also have said it to those who request for an amount of money I can't afford. Few weeks ago I came to realise that money do really grow on trees. The first step to growing money is BELIEVE (FAITH), believe is the best soil for growing money. It has lots of nutrient that would aid rapid and healthy growth of money. When you make believe your soil, you are positive you would yield a bountiful harvest. The second step is PERSISTENCE, just like you water your crops daily you also need to be persistent in life if you desire a bountiful harvest. Persistence should be a daily thing, never get tired of it. The third step is your SOURCE, how connected are you to the right source would determine if you would get the neede

You ain't gonna live forever

Nothing in life ever remains exactly the same. And no one for that matter. You either increase or decrease. You either improve or deteriorate. The person you were some years back is not the same person you are now. You have changed and you keep changing. Of a surety, we will stop growing in height and size, but our mental faculties never stop growing. This is to propel someone out there; to be the best you can be and to subject yourself to changes that will revolutionize your life for the better. Read extensively. Deliberately immerse yourself in God. Purposely etch your face on the memory of others. Consciously build a memorial in the life of others. Let your lifestyle command the regard of others. Build your self esteem on the foundations of God's word. Let your carriage be with style and grace. Improve your vocab. Widen your thinking capacity. Undertake elocution lessons if need be. Upgrade your fashion sense, moderately. Define who you are with

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

CONTENTMENT

I was the financial secretary of my fellowship in year 2015, which I had the fellowship's fund with me. There where days in school I had no food to eat, there was this particular day I fasted and had nothing to eat, the next day I still didn't eat anything until in the evening when I managed to get garri to drink. Though I was going through tough time but I didn't touch the fellowship funds. I kept the financial records of the fellowship so even if I removed some amount, no one would know The reason many turn greedy is all due to lack of contentment. So many argue that lack of contentment isn't bad, they believe we should crave for more at all time. Yes, it really isn't bad to crave for more, but while asking for more make do with what you have presently. Contentment means to make do with the present while working towards a better tomorrow. Not been contented is a very great sin that we ignore. When you're not contented you steal, kill, engage in illega

PROVISION FOR ALL

To me, the foremost thing on our minds now should be finding out the blueprints of the Creator for us this year, so as not to labour in vain. Like I wrote in my previous posts, aligning our dreams with the Creator's plans will save us the acrimony of seeing our cherished dreams crushed. Heed this advice and follow it through this year. Now,to the main thing on my mind,that was just a digression. I recall that some years back, spiritual inferiority was my second nature. I wired myself to think less of myself,as regards spirituality. I could not help wondering if I was not destined to be part of those who enjoy an intimate relationship with their maker. Perhaps,I would have to rely on using those who were destined as a means to glean the intricacies of the spiritual realm. I kept lingering in this state until I encountered some life-changing experiences(which I won't share with you but one). As I grew up spiritually, with the help of certain books I read especially Joyce

THE OTHER SIDE

Am not here to talk an about the other room oh LOL😆😆 this one is about the other side. Please drop your comments, I would love to know how you feel about this post.    I was in church for the digging deep service, when the Preacher started teaching I noticed what he was saying didn't correspond with the digging deep study sheet I was given.  I checked the date of the sheet and it was 18th of October 2016 and the date for that day was 11th. I noticed the congregation didn't look confused like I was so I thought of calling the attention of the usher.  Before I could get the attention of the ushers I decided to turn the other side of the sheet and there it was 11th October 2016 the topic for that day. NOTE: Before I realized the topic been preached was on the other side, the preacher was almost through with the teaching. This singular event opened my eyes to amazing life lessons I would be sharing here. 1) Majority of us have been believing God for a particular blessin

CONDUCTOR'S SECRET

Y e sterday i boarded a bus to work and the conductor taught me a very important life lesson.  When i entered i was the only one in the bus and there were several buses there calling out for passengers but this conductor of the bus i entered did something i loved. He went across the road and started calling for passengers, he assisted some in crossing the road and he carried luggage of others. He also had to persuade some that his bus was going to move immediately they entered and before the twinkle of an eye the bus was filled while other buses were still there. After some passengers dropped he had to call for more passengers, the first two passengers offered to pay less which was ridiculous.  He refused to carry them and the bus moved to another location, getting there he picked passengers who paid exactly what he called.  It got me thinking thank God he didn't to carry those who offered to less. LESSONS FROM THIS STORY Develop a strategy that makes people prefer you

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
