HOW FAR DO YOU SEE WITH YOUR 'INNER EYE'?



Dear reader, I have good news for you today. Make sure you read and digest this article because I’m sure it will awaken the sleeping ‘giant’ in you. But, hold on! Don’t keep this to yourself, share with friends and people around you. These days, many youths have gone astray- they have allowed their ‘today’ to blindfold ‘tomorrow’. While some want to ride the most expensive cars in a jiffy, others want to become millionaires overnight. It doesn’t work that way, please tell them! Be the change agent that the world has been waiting for.



What you think in the deepest zone of your mind is what you see with your ‘inner eye’ and whatever you see with it is what you are in reality. With your ‘inner eye’, you can see yourself being given standing ovations, awards in the year 2018. Yet, this is 2013. Do not undervalue how far you can see with your ‘inner eye’. Begin to make use of it today; it will pave the way for you. If you see yourself as someone who is born to be great in life; someone who will succeed irrespective of the family background or the challenges of life, you will definitely make it in life because you are what you think. Some people see themselves as failure, poverty, and mediocrity. Tell me, how on earth will they succeed?
Let’s consider this. When God created the world, he didn’t provide electricity, paper, aeroplane, internet, Facebook, Blackberry, and GSM. You must be wondering why. The reason is simple. He expects us to complete the constructions which he started by making use of the asset he has given us i.e. creative mind. Thomas Edison saw microphone and light bulb with his ‘inner eye’, he created them and then, we use them today. The Wright brothers saw human beings flying in the sky, they developed the dream and today, we travel around the world by aeroplanes. There is no human being without a potential. All these show that the world is waiting for YOU to take its shape and that was why God created you. There are problems in your locality, school, place of work, state and nation that need urgent solutions; create these solutions and become a superstar. Come to think of it, there is SOMETHING you do perfectly well, nobody does it better than you. Please, work on it because it’s a road sign that leads to the Promised Land.

The great speaker from Bahamas, Dr Myles Munroe talked about human potentials and purpose in life. Check it out here:
 “The WEALTHIEST SPOT on this planet is not the oil fields of Kuwait, Iraq, or Saudi Arabia. Neither is it the gold and diamond mines of South Africa, the uranium mines of the Soviet Union, or the silver mines of Africa. Though it may surprise you, the richest deposits on our planet lie just a few blocks from your house. They rest in your LOCAL CEMETERY OR GRAVEYARD”. Uhm mmm, then, what are these deposits?
He continued: “Buried beneath the soil within the walls of those sacred grounds are dreams that never came to pass, songs that were never sung, books that were never written, paintings that never filled a canvas, ideas that were never shared, visions that never became reality, inventions that were never designed, plans that never went beyond the drawing board of the mind, and purposes that were never fulfilled. One of the greatest tragedies in life is to watch potential die untapped. Only a small percentage of the 7 billion people on this planet will experience a significant portion of their true potential. Are you a candidate for contributing to the wealth of cemetery?” Finally, please take note of this: Don’t go to the grave with your treasure within you. You must leave empty!

HRF HEALTH ANGLE- The 'Trial' of Toilet Disease




“To my knowledge, no one has ever acquired Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) on the toilet seat unless they were having sex on the toilet seat!”- Pres, American Society for Microbiology.

Lady MH, a 21 year 200L student in a Nigerian university, shared her experience. She said: “Toilet Disease is very embarrassing. Few hours after using the toilet reserved for my floor in the hostel, I started feeling this strange itching in my ‘womanhood’; It wasn’t funny at all. I wish I never contacted it, but it was due to my ignorance as a fresher at that time. Thank God for timely medical intervention”
What is “Toilet Disease”?
It does not have an internationally acceptable definition simply because, uhmm, guess what!, it doesn’t exist. Don’t be shocked! Although, you can contract certain infections from toilet seats, flush handle, water faucet handle and even, doorknobs if they are not kept clean. This is expected. Imagine you drinking water from a dirty cup that has been used for serving many people without being washed. How does it sound? The same rule applies to toilet seats. However, you cannot contract Sexually Transmitted Infections like Gonorrhea, Syphilis, herpes, HIV, HPV etc as widely believed. Ladies are mostly affected because the ‘design’ of their genitourinary system makes them more prone to infections. A recent study showed that “only 35% of men wash their hands after using a public bathroom. Women were twice as likely to wash, up at 65%”
What are the sources of these infections?
They result mostly from certain bacteria or fungi which could be present on the toilet seats and other places in the toilet/bathroom. Specifically, Candidiasis (caused by some fungi) could be gotten from wearing dirty and/or wet underwears especially when they are silk/nylon; wearing of extremely tight-fitting pants.
The Symptoms
·         Vaginal and Labial Itching
·         Abnormal vaginal discharge
·         Pain with intercourse
·         Painful urination
·         Redness and swelling of the vulva etc.
Diagnosis and Tests
The doctor will ask for your sexual history, current signs and symptoms, and some tests might be carried out depending on the outcome of examination. Don’t be scared. Hun!
Treatment
·         Appropriate drugs to cure the infection will be given by the doctor.
·         Advice on good personal hygiene and healthy lifestyle.
·         Practice of safe sex.
·         Regular and Prompt medical check up is very essential.
Prevention Tips
·         Practice safe sex
·     Ensure that your toilet is always clean. However, if you are to use a public or ‘strange’ toilet, use tissue to wipe/cover the seat before use.
·        Wash your hands with soap and water after using the toilet.
·        Avoid wearing extremely tight-fitting pants or shorts which may cause irritation.
·        Wear clean, dry cotton underwear.
·        Keep your genital area clean and dry.
·         Avoid soap and rinse with water only; Sitting in a warm but not hot, bath may help.
·         Avoid douching.
·         Avoid using feminine hygiene sprays, fragrant or powders in the genital area.

…….and then, men! Don’t think you are totally free especially when you flirt around. You can actually contact those infections through sex. So, ensure you share this article with all the ladies in your life- wives, fiancée, girlfriends, sisters, cousins, aunts and then, concubines if you have any *winks.
                             EDUCATE YOUR NEIGHBOUR, SAVE A LIFE TODAY!

OUR LEGEND OF THE WEEK #4




"2.10PM Tuesday November 23, 2004, VICTORIA GARDEN CITY, LAGOS, NIGERIA. Fela Durotoye experienced a divine visitation. During this encounter, he received a mandate from God: “Go and build me the people that will build Nigeria into the world’s most desirable nation to live in by December 31, 2025.”
            Born on the 12th of May 1971 in Ibadan, South West Nigeria, the third child and second son of the Durotoye family was named Oluwafeolami; meaning (God has enlarged my territory). Together with his brother Pade and sister, Jibike, the family moved to the university town of Ile-Ife, also in South West Nigeria in 1972; where Fela grew into one of the liveliest on the campus’ staff quarters. Ile-Ife would come to hold a special place in Fela's life as he was thoroughly educated there. FD, as popularly called, graduated from Obafemi Awolowo University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science & Economics in 1991, and obtained MBA between 1995 and 1997. Having obtained his MBA and spurred on by his new found relationship with Jesus, Fela moved on from Ventures & Trusts to Phillips Consulting in 1998, where he rose to head the Customer Service Group until 2000 when he returned to acquire an M.Phil in Strategic Management at, yes you guessed it, OAU, Ife. 
                                              

Fela Durotoye is a mentor; he is an internationally sought-after motivational speaker, and a consultant extraordinaire. Many say he is an “Apostle in the Marketplace”. The readers of his books have described this enigma as a life-saving author. Yet to FD, he is just an ordinary man being used by an extraordinary God to change nations into desirable societies one person at a time. His book ‘’THE 17 SECRETS OF HIGH FLYING STUDENTS’’ delivers to students principles, that make them super achievers, While the entire plan guarantees an educational system that is believed will make Nigeria the world’s canter for academic excellence by December 31, 2025. FD is the Chief Executive of Visible Impact Limited; a social enterprise that has assisted several organisations, including 9 of Nigerians top 10 banks in their quest for high quality service delivery.  A Few of their clients include Access bank, UBA,BANK PHB, INTERCONTIENENTAL BANK, STANBICIBTC and ZENITH BANK  just to name a few. He is the creator of a number of projects. Some of these include: Project Raise, Gemstone 2025, Eden, SpeakersCorner, 24/7, Future Leaders, Positive Vibes, True Nigerian Project, YES!, Super Speakers etc. He anchors the highly sought after programme, Business Clinic with Fela Durotoye on STV and Radio stations.
           

In 2009, Fela’ initiated the historic “MUSHIN MAKEOVER’’ project; a one day physical beautification exercise of 294 houses along 7 streets in the suburbs of Mushin to rebuild the city. Fela Durotoye has received a platform of honorary awards, some of which include: Excellence in Human Resource Consulting Award, Heart of African Project Award, City Peoples Young Male Achiever, Fly Network Award, Mentor of the Year Award, Nigeria Achiever Award Institute and most especially, an award as Africa Ambassador for Integrity. In 2012, he broke world record for ‘most number of books signed in one sitting by a single author’. He signed 10,000 of his books “17 Secrets of High Flying Students,” in 8 hours 49 minutes!

He is happily married to TARA (CEO, House of TARA). She is a renowned and celebrated make-up artist and beauty consultant, and together they have 3boyz, who think their dad is a super HERO! FD has indeed made Nigeria proud, both nationally and internationally. Discover yourself today, yes! I mean YOU and don’t die as a mediocre. Fela has this to say: “You were not sent to live in this world, you were sent to die, and the question is what are you dying for?
