Outgrow bad habits 😏


Knock knock

Is anyone here?

I'm very ashamed of myself getting more active on social media and leaving my blog to grow weed😟 but I honestly would not want September to just go like that without dropping by.


I hope you all are fine? Even though the stress that is stressing me is not from this planet. Lol. Well, my penultimate semester is gone. Yaaaay💃


Hmmmm, so this thing I want to talk about is almost very general. Can you remember that moment you are being corrected to do something right and you are like "leave me o, that's how I am" or "that's how we are in my family." That's not how you are, you've only chosen to repudiate corrections meant to better you.


So, someone I look up to was actually having a conversation with her mentees where she pointed out that issue as a sign of immaturity and yes, it is.


Please let's not confuse things o, there are certain things we do that we have the audacity to reply "that's just me" For instance, someone known for always dressing formal that was now advised to start wearing some sort of casual indecent dressing may say "thank you, but I'm always comfortable like this" politely.


In this case, the decline deals with our values that we can't sabotage for any reason and it's quite understandable but a bad habit is the concern right now.


I met a lady sometimes ago who eats snacks and chews gum to give people nearby headache. As in.... You will just be frustrated if you're sitting close to her. This person is a very big girl o. It's been going on like that and people always excuse her to find another seat.


I got fed up one day and decided to advice her as woman to woman. I was sha praying she doesn't slap me or embarrass me. The next thing she would say is "Urrrrh, sister, that's how I do on my own o, even my mum has corrected me severally, she's already tired sef." Enipe??? Like she knew she had a bad habit but she has intentionally refused to grow out of it. Wehdone ma.


You see, many of us are like that. That is how we give excuses for our wrong or improper habits annoyingly at times. We should not keep hiding under the yoruba adage "mo'wa f'oniwa lonje ore j'ore" (to simply relate with one for who he or she is).


We all know some things we do that are not right. It could be interrupting conversations, bad standing, sitting or walking posture, constantly using fowl languages, eating manner, laziness, extravagant spendings and so much more. They've all got to stop.


Don't be too difficult to correct! Don't be stiff and rigid in what's not right.

Grow out of that bad attitude and choose to be better! Stop saying "that's how I am" to things you should probably have stopped or outgrown.


Virtual hugs FAM 🤗🤗🤗

Pseudointellectual 🤓

It's good to have you here again😍 You are loved. Long time no vocabulary. I know scholars here may not really see those words as new nonetheless I'll still share cos what? I get coconut head. Lol So, many of us have actually been here at some points in our life especially when we're trying to really get along in a conversation and present ourselves as supposedly "intelligent."  Hmmm, I could still remember one of the embarrassing moments I had some years back while they were talking about network marketing like GNLD, oriflame, longrich, etc I was like practically linking it to telecommunication networks and everyone was like "no now, seems you're not getting what we are saying..." chai....my feet kinda dragged o Although, you may have tried to do that and not be caught that you're really ignorant of the subject matter. Such person that pretends to be so much knowledgeable when in actual sense he or she isn't is called a PSEUDOINTELLECTUAL.  ...

New Year Resolution 📝

This resolution of a thing sef, it's always somehow. Many of us pledge to do some things or even vow to stop some things at the beginning of a year but eventually we get incapacitated. How numerous resolution get discarded by February baffles me alot sha. Another worst thing about this is that some people even forget they made a resolution as regards a particular thing. They remember at the close of the year and promise themselves they would turn it over to the incoming year and the cycle goes on and on. Why do we find it hard to stick by our resolutions? According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, resolution may mean : A strong will, determination. A statement of intent, a vow. Some people, after so many failed resolutions have given up, they want to go with the flow of ''anything goes.'' The idea isn't that bad, it is however good when we map out how we want the new year to be. Whether to inculcate new things or thrash stuff that ain't ideal. Do...

Women👩👧

 Most times we often depict the female gender as vulnerable. They are exposed to danger and all form of ill treatment in the society. I could remember a speech I delivered to my fellow coursemstes some years back in an English Presentation class. It was titled ''You're invaluable as a woman'' and it was targeted at appreciating the female gender. Coming from a family of six where my dad was the only male, I was so interested in the topic which made me treat it personally. Well, I believe by now we should have debunked the ancient myths of ''female children do not need formal education'' or ''a girl child will end up being in the kitchen'' and so on. Even though President Buhari once made a statement that undermined the female gender particularly about the First lady belonging to the other room. He retracted his words later but we all know the school of thought to which he belong. Women go through a lot, let's be factual about it. ...
