PAST AND FUTURE

-
At times, I love to go back to some sweet and pleasant memories but the more I want to, the more I realize it's impossible to go back to the past. Some other times, I wish some other events didn't happen, again, it's impossible to turn back the hand of time. Someone said, "the past is not a good place to live but it is a good place to visit" because we can do nothing about it. The past is passed! What is needed is to do something today that will positively affect tomorrow not dwelling in the past. There is a point at which the past catches up with the future and that point is called karma. Somehow, most "smart" people would want to out smart nature but they will eventually end up becoming the unwise. We are too quick to forget that it's what we give to life that we get at the end of the day. When a farmer sows corn, at harvest, he wouldn't be expecting tomatoes. What goes round comes round that's why the earth is spherical. One way or the other, the past is connect to the future. The present is the best gift you could ever wish for because it is an opportunity to "keep writing pleasant things on your slates". Some people live in the euphoria of yesterday while others live in the unrealistic expectations of the future when we should all bend over backwards to live in the"NOW". We should reflect and learn from the past, hope and expect a better future, and live in the present. By Oladipo Ayoola Joel @ayoolajoel

You deserve to live your dreams. Recognizing this is the hardest and most necessary step. Most of us think that only other people get to live their dreams. Only other people are lucky enough, not us.

7 Effective Ways to Develop Your Negotiation Skills

1. Practise Saying ‘No’ Human beings are programmed to be non-confrontational. From a young age, we’re taught to follow orders or else get punished, and as adults, we’re taught the same thing. Time and again, we’re told to ‘let it go’ and ‘just go with the flow’ so we don’t upset the client or the boss. This lifelong habit of avoiding confrontation and just saying ‘yes’ weakens your negotiation skills. But not to worry; you can still reprogramme your mind by practising saying ‘no’. You can start with something small like going home on time or refusing to work extra hours, especially if you’re already raking in too much overtime. If that seems like a big step for you, then you can start by saying ‘no’ to that annoying colleague who loves sabotaging your healthy eating habits by tempting you with a piece of chocolate cake. These might seem like small steps, but taking the opportunity to say ‘no’ to minor instances will help you say ‘no’ to bigger things – whether it’s
