Something Out Of Nothing

Something Out Of Nothing

Hello dear!! How are you today? Hope you ate and rested before coming online because what i have for you today will take a lot of your time and understanding but be sure to gain a lot from it. It's motivation came from nothing and that is why it's titled Something Out Of Nothing.

While reading this article composed of various words brought together to give one specific meaning, i would like you to know a fact that "What you know is centered around what your have seen or en counted, or heard" and also that "everyone has it's own meaning of one word". So should in case you find understanding this article hard, just try to consume it the way it comes to you.

Have you ever wondered where past discoverers got there idea of elements and atoms from? Because if you do, curiosity should by now be part of your breathing. Elements where created out of nothing, the sense till date that entails the discovering of element can only be explained in a brief, by the text books. Nevertheless, only the past scientists can actually say where this sense came from.


On a theory by life, you only get wiser by learning from the little signs that appeals. Taking steps forward entails knowing where you came from. Nigerians has really made the surface nature of success turn round as many uneducated youths who on a normal setting won't get a job, now turns out to be the entrepreneurs of the biggest companies in the country while the graduates stay at home or even become jobless.

History made it today, as a governor of a state in Nigeria is said not to have his primary school certificate but though laws held trials against it, that doesn't stop him from ruling. Leadership is a skill that is born into men and attending the best university doesn't develop that skill in you. Your ascent and linguistic might be top class but your sense of taught is centered around what is happening and what happened. 

So we spend about 6-years at the university and read all our life, just to come out as a Civil engineer, when the owners of the biggest construction companies are owned by uneducated individuals who never got a chance to attend neither secondary or university. I am not discouraging education because education is one important thing we must do but it doesn't really decide our fate.

Something out of Nothing, a theory written by great heroes. Jesus Christ got for himself 12 disciples in a city where sin was the call of the day, Mathew Okpebholo (a man who wasn't so privileged to attend school bodies) established a construction company (Ray Royal Construction Company) in the multitude of graduates, Nelson Mandela stood for freedom and won at a time where slavery was legal.

This is what believing in yourself can do. Your life success doesn't depend on what people say about you, or what the school rated you  or how social media has made you devote to rather life success is just defined in a few lines. 'Making Something Out Of Nothing".


Dedication:

This article is dedicated to every Nigerian and African at large who life has given a different path, that young, old or adult who thinks no success can come out of him/her. There is success in every man, though everyone will not be rich, it doesn't mean some should be poor. Get of your weakening holds and define life your own way.

A New Mindset for a New Year

William Shakespeare wrote that “all the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players.” How we define the parts we play shapes the daily drama of our lives. Are we puppets, dancing to someone else’s tune or actors with a dynamic sense of agency, creating new possibilities in our lives?

A New Mindset for a New Year
William Shakespeare
Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck has found that our sense of self and our success in life are related to our “mindset.” People with a “set mindset” are stuck in the status quo, believing that their intelligence cannot be changed, while those with a “growth mindset” believe that their intelligence increases as they embrace new challenges. 

Neuroscience research affirms a growth mindset, for our brains develop throughout our lives, growing new neural connections in response to stimulation. If you cannot use a new computer program or play a musical instrument today, regular practice will stimulate your brain to develop new connections. And after a series of clumsy attempts, suddenly one day it all comes together: you can do it. Stimulated by all that effort, your brain has formed new connections.

The two mindsets have appeared throughout history. In the Renaissance, both Martin Luther and John Calvin believed that all people had vocations. But Luther saw the world as set, with the social order created by God. if your father was a butcher, a baker, or glove maker, you were destined to follow his trade.  Calvin looked at the social injustice around him and concluded that not God, but human beings had constructed the social order. He encouraged people to find their vocations by discovering their talents and using them to create new possibilities. With this growth mindset, a glove maker’s son from Stratford found his calling on the London stage as William Shakespeare.

A New Mindset for a New Year

One view of life is dynamic, the other static; one mindset leads to conformity, the other to creative change.  The 18th century gave rise to two views of patriotism: 1. obedience to the status quo or 2. ideals that led to a new form of government, moving from monarchy to democracy, government of the people under a new constitution.

We can also find growth and set mindsets in our work. Recently, when I questioned a longstanding policy, some people at work said “but we’ve always done it that way.” Yet just because we’ve done something for years doesn’t make it right or rule out better alternatives. If our country had followed a set mindset, there would be no progress, no airplanes, electricity, phones, or computers; women couldn’t vote and some people would still be slaves.

Progress—in science, art, politics, and life—flows from a growth mindset.

How can you apply a growth mindset to the year ahead?

Femi Fani-Kayode - The Bewitching Hour

It is 3 a.m. in the morning: the time that is commonly referred to as the bewitching hour. This is the moment that darkness and silence stalks the land. This is the moment that is pregnant with fear, uncertainty and mystery.
 
This is the moment that evil is undone and that witches return home from their blood-drenched covens. This is the moment that hearts beat fast and that sensitive ears tingle at the slightest sound.
 
Femi Fani-Kayode - The Bewitching Hour
Femi Fani-Kayode
 
I love the stillness of this sacred hour. I love the power of the darkest morning and the blackest night. I love that bewitching moment when darkness gives way to light.  It banishes inhibitions and it kindles passion. 
It heightens sensitivity and it excites the human spirit. It purifies the inner man and it sharpens the inner voice. It brings communion with God and it strengthens the soul. It stirs creativity and it brings peace. 
 
O that that peace would last and that that beautiful stillness and silence would persist. It brings strength, empowerment and clarity of thought and vision. 
 
It brings insight, a refreshing and it makes all things beautiful. It soothes troubled souls and it brings joy to broken hearts. It kindles love and it invokes unimaginable pleasures and secret desires.
 
It is at such times that the most crucial decisions can safely be made. It is in such moments that we can worship  our God with passion and reckless abandon. It is at that time that monsters run, that demons flee and that angels dance. 
 
It is at that moment that the Spirit of the Lord  raises His standard and stems the flood. It is at that time that Gods redemptive power brings hope and restoration. It is at that moment that He raises His banner of power and love.
 
It is at that time that silence whispers and that we hear Him clearly. I love the stillness of this sacred hour. I love the power of the darkest morning and the blackest night. I love that bewitching moment when darkness gives way to light.
