Four Steps To Developing Patience; Jane Bolton, Psy.D., M.F.T., C.C

The Purpose of Patience
So, what's the purpose of building patience abilities? In a word, happiness. Better relationships, more success. Well worth the effort, I'd say. But effort, indeed, it takes.

We can all work to develop more patience. An important idea here is that developing patience is just that. Developing a skill. We aren't born with it. Think of a hungry infant- shrieking with all it's red-faced, rigid-bodied impatient demand for satisfaction.
After all, we can't just sit down at a piano and play it without ever learning to play and practicing, practicing, practicing.
That practicing includes 1)paying attention to when we are not patient, 2) being kind to ourselves for not being "perfect" already, and 3)changing the automatic judgmental, critical thoughts and feelings.

CRASH COURSE ON RADIO PRESENTING...

Radio Presenters are the voice of a station or programme, whether they work in speech-based or music Radio. They are responsible for creating the tone and style of Radio output and establishing a relationship with listeners. They may also be required to carry out a range of other production tasks, as well as deliver content for related websites or other mobile platforms
Radio Presenters' specific responsibilities differ considerably depending on the programme or station. The majority of Radio Presenters are part of a small team, although some work with much larger programme units. They are mainly based in offices and recording studios, but may also work on location presenting outside broadcasts.
Most presenters are self-employed, working on fixed term contracts. Although the greatest concentration of jobs is found in London and the South East, Radio Presenters work throughout the UK. They may work for the BBC, commercial or community radio, on local or national stations, or for independent production companies.

Stop Using These 16 Terms to Describe Yourself

Jeff Haden

Ghostwriter, speaker, Inc. columnist

 Picture this. You meet someone new. "What do you do?" she asks.
"I'm an architect," you say.
"Oh, really?" she answers. "Have you designed any buildings I've seen?"
"Possibly," you reply. "We did the new student center at the university..."
"Oh wow," she says. "That's a beautiful building..."
Without trying -- without blowing your own horn -- you've made a great impression.
Now picture this. You meet someone new. "What do you do?" he asks.
"I'm a passionate, innovative, dynamic provider of architectural services with a collaborative approach to creating and delivering outstanding world-class client and user experiences."
All righty then.
Do you describe yourself differently – on your website, promotional materials, or especially on social media – than you do in person? Do you use cheesy clichés and overblown superlatives and breathless adjectives?
Do you write things about yourself you would never have the nerve to actually say?
Here are some words that are great when other people use them to describe you – but you should never use to describe yourself:

A BLIND REPORT... for one eyed men

A BLIND REPORT... for one eyed men

                                                           

The superlative hunger for responsible leadership is to say the least Nigeria’s most important prayer point. But I find it hard from wondering, asking myself the one question we ignore the most; Yes! We need change, agreed, we need some measure of direction in leadership, a responsible government, but do we really deserve it? On a scale of justice, do we stand a chance based on our past and present?

PARENTING TIPS MADE EASY

LETTER TO NIGERIAN PARENTS

 Friends,

Let me add the benefit of my time as a student and then resident in the UK - and I live in Lagos now. The first thing that I discovered about UK-born, white, English undergraduates was that all of them did holiday or weekend job to support themselves - including the children of millionaires amongst them. It is the norm over there - regardless how wealthy their parents are. And I soon discovered that virtually all other foreign students did the same - the exception being those of us status-conscious Nigerians.

 I also watched Richard Branson (owner of Virgin Airline) speaking on the Biography Channel and, to my amazement; he said that his young children travel in the economy class -even when the parents (he and his wife) are in upper class. Richard Branson is a billionaire in Pound Sterling. A quick survey would show you that only children from Nigeria fly business or upper class to commence their studies in the UK . No other foreign students do this. There is no aircraft attached to the office of the prime minister in the UK - he travels on British Airways (BA). And the same goes for the Royals. The Queen does not have an aircraft for her exclusive use.

MUCH MORE THAN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.

MUCH MORE THAN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.


The world is one big question begging for answers. With all the uncertainties around us, we are constantly at the edge of learning to respond appropriately to these same earthly interrogations. However, very few understand that love, faith and hope are common answers to the many questions that choke us.


Unfortunately also, we have failed to identify a sublime about love, faith and hope because these are not the answers to the dynamic desires of man. These are customized solutions to man’s most basic needs. This means that as a sublime, it is constant, they don’t change with time.

It is our effort to upgrade love that is the problem with marriage and relationship, it is also our desire to update hope and redefine faith that has resulted to the misunderstandings and complexities in natures most simplified life jackets.
Because of this corrupt perception, we can no longer enjoy the benefits of love, faith, and hope in their original union.
It is true that to a large extend man, has conquered planet earth through science and technology, but I think it would do man more good to remember that the universe still lies unconquered. For despite the extensiveness of freedom, death often time extinguishes our reach.


Having said this, my conclusion is that, it is time we put away our unblended desire to conquer the world and perhaps pay a little attention in conquering self. And see if we can tame this greed, violence and this destructive thirst to enslave and victimize the rest of humanity.

I sincerely believe that the taming of man will indeed be A DISCOVERY OF THE MILLINIA. This is because this list though an excerpt of our destructive striving industry tires me.

5 UNNECESSARY REASONS WHY WOMEN MUST SUFFER

When a mother (men are not excused) fails to train her son by reason of impossible circumstances, career, ignorance or just foolishness, she fails to tame the beast and nurture the hero in him. By default the next woman is forced to inherit a beast or coward.

The new generation woman prefers a weak man for the purpose of manipulation and control. This helps them puppet the man to their desired direction. However as beneficial as this technique is in the short run, it always back fires at the long run. This is because when the man by way of karma, falls victim to another woman who is more advanced in gender puppetry, the music changes. The hunter becomes the hunted. As for the man, well...minus one.

Most women have allowed fashion to reduce them into sex items; with dress codes that de-emphasizes the woman from the world most important asset to a past time. This in itself is an insult to their maker, the universe which relies on them, and humanity.

Power is good but power play is dirty. A woman’s power before was private, subtle, slow but effective, indirect, playful and abstract but today the woman’s power has become direct, public, serious, loud and easy to discern.
With all honesty, you don’t expect to go into the arena and play fair. This is why Shakespeare said; “all is fair in love and war”.

THE THIN LINE; CROSS AND DIE.

Every meaning and purpose in life is separated by a thin line, it divides and separates us. Like a road path, route, there are distinctive boundaries. Each of the boundaries complements the circle of our existence. Justice and truth is only realistic within the context of these boundaries. This thin line is what explains justice, what uncovers the true meaning of truth.

SHAME ON US

In the midst of soo much anger, bitterness, and all out condemnation of the Uniport. 4 which i totally support. It will do us good to remind ourselves, that we were not like this before, something brought us to this level and with all the available signs, it is still going to take us further.  Except we brake and reflect and ask ourselves, very deeeeeeep questions. because we have been justifying death, in all forms, Religious crises, political crises, family crises, ethnic crises, campus cultism, and now the taking of inestimable gift of life has now become common..cant you see how easy it has become for us to video and transmit the process of death?
