Exercising the mind One of the major ways to improve your mental ability is to keep the mind active and this can be achieved by exercising the mind. Sometimes we let our mind remain passive because we don’t have any major exam or task before us. This would only decrease the mental capability of a person. We have brilliant children in the world today that are brilliant because they exercised their minds daily. As an adult, you also have to exercise your mind too. The question is : how do I exercise my mind? The answer to this question lies in MR. WELTS Memorize : one major way to exercise the mind is to memorize. You can play memory games on your phones and pc to keep your mind active. You could decide to memorize your mobile number, account number, and so on. Keeping things in your memory would keep your mind active. Read : we can‘t overemphasize the importance of reading in this life. Reading also helps to keep your brain working hence it keeps the mind active. Reading would als

There’s a popular saying that  “readers are leaders”. I would rephrase this by saying, “reading the right books would help you to be the right leader”. It is good to read books, however, it is best to read the right books. A person preparing for a biology examination can’t lead in that exam if he or she reads law books. It is like using a drug prescribed for malaria to cure tuberculosis; that is obviously not going to cure tuberculosis. We have readers that are not reading rightly and it is really affecting them. Mind you, you should understand that reading other books is not totally wrong but you should set your priorities right. I am a writer, so I would read books that would help me become a better writer and improve daily but while I was in the university studying microbiology, I read my course books more than I read other books. A surgeon who is about to perform an operation would not read books that would not help him/ her or that are not related to the operation. In this year

 2 Mrs Pepper was on a call when Miss Monica knocked and entered her office, "I will call you back" she said and hung up when she saw Miss Monica's furious look, "what's the problem Miss Monica?" she asked, "it's one of my student.....  She is very brilliant but.... " Mrs. Pepper interrupted her, "it's Choo, right?" she asked and Miss Monica became calm, "y-es.... How did you know that?" she asked, Mrs. Pepper sighed deeply, "sit down Miss Monica " Miss Monica looked at the seat and remembered she was standing, she sat down after saying a quiet thanks to Mrs Pepper. Mrs Pepper continued after she sat down, "Choo has been like that since she was admitted into the school " Mrs Pepper said soberly and pitifully, Miss Monica was shocked, "since when?" she asked, "that's like ten years ago" Mrs Pepper said, "what!!" Miss Monica exclaimed, "we used to have a teacher h

1 Choo fidgeted as she walked to the front of the class, she broke into tears when she got to the board. Miss Monica looked at her in surprise, she could not fathom what was happening to the young girl standing in front of her. Choo had gotten the highest mark in the test she had given them in class  the previous day while the others had failed the test. She got a 96 out of 100 whereas the second highest got a 42 out of 100. She had only called Choo to come and explain to the rest of the class the test questions only for Choo to be shaking and crying like something was frightening her. Miss Monica moved closer to Choo, "what is the problem Choo?" she asked with a concerned look but Choo just looked round and ran out of the class. Miss Monica could not have it anymore, she went to the principal's office to tell her what had happened.

The Blank Space Losing someone or something is a very painful feeling especially when the person was someone you loved so dearly. Whenever one loses someone or something, it creates a blank space in the life of the person. Sometimes we try to fill this space by doing things that can hurt us like eating unnecessarily, working tirelessly, drinking excessively or partying too much. We believe that once we occupy ourselves, we would not remember the blank space but not remembering something doesn't mean it is not there. I could try to forget that my father walked out from us by drinking alcohol or even taking hard drugs but it would not remove the fact that he actually walked out of the home. You might have lost someone so dear to you that you feel you can't do without the person and you feel like dying...... You know some people think suicide is the next option when they lose someone or something very dear to them but is that really the answer? That is a coward and ugly way to

Helping Hand in life, we need to help each other because we need each other to survive. Some people believe that helping someone else might deter them from moving forward but this is so untrue. One comic actress I admire so much always say: "the sky is big enough for all the birds to fly". This is the truth about life. We need to learn to help ourselves, no man is an island. Many people compete with others and miss their purpose in the process. I read something recently on the net about a man Mr. Lawrence Ughamadu, a pastor who narrated, on his Facebook page, an engaging experience he had with people heading to church and victims of a ghastly car accident on Sunday, January 7. He started his story by stating that many Nigerians are like killer-herdsmen.: According to Mr. Ughamadu, “this morning (January 7), I was rushing to catch up with my Sunday service in Benin (Edo State from Onitsha (Anambra State). Just after Abudu, the Honda Pilot in front of me pulled a back tire
