Wasn’t My Love Good Enough, Oh baby!!

The last moment we had together was more than awkward. Everything was so clear that it was soon over between you and I.
I still can contain the reason why you flowed me thrash, got me embarrassed and finally decided to slam the door against me.

Our love, our joy, our pride and everything was gone forever. Forever gone and I’m fatally afraid it’s never gonna come back again. This was not how it was meant to be.

I still look around me and all I can see is your lipstick mark on my coffee cup. You don’t really seem to care about who I am and who we use to be!

You call yourself a lover, yet you left me to suffer in pain, to die with a broken heart.

I want you to recall the good old times we shared.
I gave you everything!

Yes I tried to make you smile but it never measured. You had my heart, your demands were my priorities. Our love was well written in the sky.

I showed you I was strong enough. The perfect man you were so lucky to have had.

You decided to let go me.
What wrong did I make? Tell me and I’ll apologize

I never made you cry.
My presences were all smiles.
Now in your dreams, in your joyful moments, in all your life expeditions, I just want you to take a look at me: Am I not good enough?

I know it will forever be a nightmare haunting you every second and every moment in your life.
Even in your wildest dreams, you will forever puzzle yourself and wonder why on earth you let go me because my love for you was originally GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!!!!

HOW TO ACHIEVE ACADEMIC SUCCESS

Ultimately, the greatest desire of every student is maintaining a good academic life and living the moments of meeting your life expectations. These desires always seem impossible until it’s possible.
Here are seven(7) perfect ways to maintainig a good and strong academic life:

1. Desire and Plan
All life’s greatest achievements commence with great desire; this is the pursuit of achieving. Without desire, you cannot achieve. The best students always had a foretaste of who they’ve become. Add to desire effective planning. Desiring without planning is just a wish. Set targets, stay focus and tackle them one at a time and to planning, add great sacrifice and discipline. ” Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice”.

2.  Don’t Skip Lectures Too Often
Sometimes the least expected happens, you are left with no option but to skip lectures. Sometimes you would have to skip lectures to do some other business to gain or to attend to other equally important tasks or even to make ends meet. Nevertheless, never make skipping of lectures habitual; lest it goes against you. Attend lectures regularly as often as you must, jot down notes and other salient points and build upon them. Always have that zeal and courage to ask sensible questions pertaining to what you fail to understand.

3. Visit the Library and Research Wide
Good students always go the extra mile to set themselves distinguished. The lecture notes are not enough. The books in the library are not for asthetic values, they are to add up to our academic pedigree. Always yarn to read and research wide. Too much knowledge does not kill. It’s rather a gain to us. Reading wide takes your academic life to a different horizon and it can seriously damage your ignorance. Educate yourself, ” The top experts in the world are ardent students. The day you stop learning, you’re definetly not an expert” . Your world today, your world tomorrow is a true reflection of your knowledge.

4. Solve Past Questions
Success is always achieved when a problem is solved. The past questions do contribute a lot.The more you solve, the more conversant you would become with similar questions in end of semester exams questions, mid-sems etc. If possible, solve in groups or a study mate. Two good heads they say is better than one. This may go a long way to shoot up your CWA. Who knows, a past question today, will be an exams question tomorrow.

5. Let Go Bad Friends
Bad friends corrupt good manners. They are a threat to life’s great achievement. A mouse can never have any form of frienship with a cat. It’s highly impossible and would never work. Good friends will surely have a great and positive impact in your academic life and your life as a whole. Walk with friends who will take you to the library not the club. Bad friends will only feed your mind with poison, do away with them! One other tragedy in life is to have your academic life and future prospects ruined and shuttered by your association with bad friends.

6. Have Fun
All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. All studies and no fun leaves you with stress and boredom. Balance your academic life so much fun. The semesters are super-packed with so many edutaining activities, the hall weeks and so much more. Don’t spoil the fun, always join the crew and enjoy yourself. Playing fifa, having photoshoots with friends, hangout and chill out with friends etc. These would ease your stress and take away boredom.

7. Be Prayerful
It all begins with a prayer and ends with a prayer. We all believe in a supreme being, as such, besides our books and the fun we enjoy, never skip the church meetings and activities. God is the author and finisher of our faith. If you’re a Christian, serve God with reverence. If you’re a Muslim, serve Allah with all your all.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Remember, nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

WHERE DO BROKEN HEARTS GO?

Will I ever love again?
Will I ever care again?
The pictures were clearly shown to me. It was so sad that even in my wildest dreams they appeared.
I thought it was a just dream but it was so real…..
Could someone just explain what’s happening?
Cause the love we shared was irreplaceable.
Our love was pure, it was written in the stars.
We couldn’t quit sharing funny and joyful moments with each other.
This love was beautiful, it was so envious and it was far better than having the most expensive pearl(s).
Your name was a five letter word which was really you.
You were an angel by the name A.N.G.E.L.
It was you and I. Yes, it was you and I.
We belonged to each other. To me you were more than a gift; you were an asset and a feather in my cup.

But today I’m so down and saddened.
Cause now all my kindness is taken for weakness.
For the love we shared is no more.
Angel!!!! You pushed me away.
My angel is gone, you are gone forever.
I still can’t believe this happening.
I was your superman, you were my superwoman.
Angel now that you’re gone who do I share my superman’s dream with?
You pierced my heart and left my heart broken?
They say I might even go mad, they say I’m even crazy for since you left me all I could say and have been saying was:
Where do broken hearts go?
Where does my broken heart go?
Could it ever be mended?
Hello Angel!!! Are you by yourself?
Have you sold the love we shared?
My heart is deeply wounded, the best cardio professor couldn’t mend it but asked me: son, where do broken hearts go? To his dismay I answered: they go searching for the Angels who pierced them.

It’s hard to say this but I’ve no option than to say: you became nothing but a great woe to me!

To: The Angel who broke my heart.

You’ve Got No Time To Waste

Time is our most precious resource. It is a priceless treasure. Treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one. Utilize it the best way possible and don’t let it slip through your fingers. You can never replace lost time…once it’s spent it is gone! Here are 10 tips that will help you utilize time more efficiently:

1. Know How You Spend Your Time.

Determine the time of the day when you are you most productive; and analyse where most of your time is devoted: these could be friends, academics, family, recreation, job etc. Figuring out your most time-consuming activities and determining whether you’re investing in them can help determine a course of action.

 

2. Prioritize/Set priorities.  

Determine what’s really important to you. Place those items and activities first and then schedule everything else. Don’t cancel the important activities for any reason. One of the easiest way to prioritize is to make a “to do “list. Having a prioritized “to do “list allows you to say “no” to activities that may be interesting or provide a sense of achievement but do not fit into your basic priorities.

3. Plan

Effective planning is a very important skill when you want to accomplish something. Planning makes time more useful by providing directions and enhancing productivity. Using personal planning tools such as pocket diaries, calendars, electronic planners (on mobile phones) etc… really help a lot. Planning makes you more professional and well organized. Remember, life is always simpler and easier when planned out.

 

4. Delegation: Get help from others.

Delegation means assigning responsibility for a task to someone else to free up some of your time for tasks that require your expertise. Delegation begins by identifying tasks that others can do and selecting the appropriate persons to do them.

 

5. Set Goals: Don’t just dream, have a vision!

Establish specific goals on a daily basis to help you decide what you want to do with your time. Setting goals may be very effective at raising your self-confidence by focusing in progress. Setting targets to achieve your goals always keep you more highly motivated.

 

6. Stop Procrastinating.

You may be putting off tasks for various reasons. Perhaps the task seem overwhelming or unpleasant or you just feel like not doing it. Try breaking down the tasks into smaller segments that may require less time commitment within a specific and realistic time frame.

 

7. Value Your Time.

Time is money! Demonstrating by words, actions and commitments that your time is very important to you will make others recognize how you value your time and show more respect of it. If you don’t respect your time, don’t expect anyone else to. One important thing you have to remember is that the only way people will respect your time is only if you respect your TIME.

 

 

8. Get Organized.

Have a place for everything you want to do. In addition, create a centralized list of what you want to get done. Manage the activities and projects you can control. You can also group activities that can be done simultaneously at the same time but don’t let this lead you to multitasking. Multitasking can make you unproductive, so more properly one thing at a time.

 

9. Become Fully Focused At The Particular Moment.

By focusing on what you are doing at a particular moment, you permit yourself to get absorbed in the activity. The fact is, when you allow yourself to become totally focused on what you’re doing at the moment, you actually get the job or task done faster and more easily. Remember that nothing is more important than what you are doing at the particular moment in a particular time.

 

10. Do Away With Time Wasters.

We all have them in life- interruptions, distractions, poor planning, attitude, over-commitment and many others. They are easily encountered but you always have the power and capacity to eliminate them.

 

Rather than letting time control you, take control of your time and life by incorporating some of the listed tips above. Time is more precious than the finest jewellery so manage it judiciously.
