Tell Me About Yourself - A Good Answer To This Question

Image
๐™๐™๐™š 3 ๐™Ž ๐™๐™ค๐™ง๐™ข๐™ช๐™ก๐™–. I was in a panel of interviewers few weeks ago and everyone, I mean, everyone failed this question.  At some point, I told one of the guys to spare me his whole life story and just tell us about himself. Sadly, none could impress us. Imagine this: You submitted a resume, prayed and even fasted to be called upon for an interview.  Now you got a phone call for that long awaited interview and right before the manager, you're asked, hi Grace, ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น ๐—บ๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ณ. It's not a time to tell them your state of origin, country, marital status, course of study, University, family background and your whole life's story.  No interviewer has time for this. I'm talking by experience. When you do this, you have just succeeded in sending a wrong impression in just a first meeting...if there'll be a second one. Tell me about yourself is an indirect way of asking you to tell them what value you have to bring to the table and the proble...

WHY WORRY?

Image
I know this sounds absolutely clichรฉ and you may be tired of hearing it but Hey Chill!  Take in a deep breath and ask yourself again, WHY WORRY? Earlier this year, I really wanted to celebrate a friend but I didn't have enough funds. I kept stressing, worrying and being quite restless until I remembered Philippians 4:6.  I immediately took my request to God and to be honest, my mind was blown away. The results were instantaneous and I was so overwhelmed and ashamed at the same time. I started questioning why I kept overthinking and disturbing my peace of mind. I was making God too small, disturbing my peace,  being moody and wasting time which affected my productivity level.  All these 4 things where happening because I was worrying. Wow!๐Ÿ’” When faced with a situation, there are 2 solutions to it. Either you know what to do or what not to do. If you know what to do why worry? Just apply it. If you don't know what to do why are you still worried? Talk to the Master So...

Be The African God Created!

Image
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. He later in verse 27 of Genesis Chapter 1 created man. This man (Adam) with Eve became fruitful as God had instructed. Some researchers are still battling with the race Adam belonged. That to me remains a mystery. Let me say he was neutral; He belonged to no race. This tells me the world we see today came out of a neutral foundation. Growing up as an African, I experienced a lot of unpleasant conditions and situations. A lot has been heard and read about how inferior the African is to the world.  The adverse impact on my esteem was grand; Well, I would say I have walked out on them; thanks be to God. Galatians 3:28 (There is neither Jew nor Greek, … :for  ye are all one in Christ Jesus) makes me have no doubt that racial ranking is just unnatural.  It is a system designed to satisfy human interest. We were made Africans. We had no opportunity to make that decision. That is what God decided to make us and definitely t...

With age and experience, I have witnessed numerous storms and seen turbulence. I've lived a bitter-sweet life for whilst I seldom discover a purpose path. Where are those who wish to be like me? Bring the storytelling seat; I have a tale of hidden treasure. At different times as a child, I've been made to understand that I'm the ugliest in the house. Without controversy, I have queens as sisters. As kids, being "a little bride" became their thing. They have the sanguine nature which came together with their beauty and placed them before men of enviable repute, captains of industries.  Me, as a Cho-Mel who was told she's ugly, solitude became my companion. The day I was called to be a little bride, I had an instant fever. I hid under the bed until it passed me by. While others thought it was stage fright, I was battling rejection. To many, I was beautiful; it never made sense to me because, on a scale of 1-10, I knew my beauty was 2% where my sisters are. This ...

Service And I

Image
Prince : Hi Sylvia. Can I ask you a question? Sylvia : Why not, Prince. Shoot it. Prince : Thank you. Sylvia, if you were given an opportunity to give a word of advice to thousands of young adults, what would it be? Sylvia : Amazing question, Prince๐Ÿ˜Š My advice is simple; SERVE! SERVE! SERVE! Prince : Wow, Sylvia! Forgive my curiosity. Why, "Serve" and not any other thing? Sylvia : One of the ways Young Adults can find fulfillment within themselves and have a sense of purpose is through SERVICE, Prince. This is the best advice I can give to my fellow Young Adults because I have seen what service can do and the doors it can open if done with the right mindset. Prince : Mmm... This is profound, Sylvia. Sylvia : ๐Ÿ˜Š Prince : So Sylvia, why should our fellow Young Adults serve? Sylvia : Service makes you happy. It gives you a sense of fulfillment, knowing that your contribution makes the world a better place. Personally, I serve because I love being helpful. I find it as an honor ...

7 Disciplines You Shouldn't Joke With!

Image
  I am Prince and with my few years of experience in life, I have come to know that everyone has enormous potential to be great and do well in any field, but the top remains scanty while the ground is crowded because only a few pay the price for success. Discipline, to me, Sylvester, is one of the greatest tools of highly successful people and there are disciplines you must develop if you want to achieve all that you envision. Today, we will be sharing with you 7 disciplines you shouldn't joke with. 1. Goal Setting. Every morning, week or month, get a spiral notebook and take out time to write out your top goals. Writing out your goals activates your mental powers, stimulates your mind and makes you more alert on a specific course. Don't just have them on your head, there's something about beholding them, daily. 2. Planning and Organising. Take a few minutes, preferably the night before, to plan out every activity of the coming day. Always think on paper and work from a lis...
