When I left school in the month of July, I expected to
experience bliss of a break and be back to school in the next two weeks. I
arrived home like after three hours of departing from Ile Ife. The reception I
got from my family was splendid...hugs, kisses and all...it was quite
memorable...though such welcome backs are becoming normal. Then I started to
live everyday as I dreamt it to be...eat, watch movies, sleep, go out to
friends blah, blah, blah and then the big bang occurred, the light went for
days...as if the way they (PHCN) had been treating us wasn’t bad enough. It then
dawned on me that I couldn’t continue like this...in penury and extreme
boredom. So I decided to take a job, and take a job i did...but it was the same
old job...fish farm management. I had been working with Mr Paul as early as
2010, though intermittently. And then I was back at his place again, making
sure all the fish are happy and he smiles every time he sees them(you should
know why he does that). Well, every day except Sundays I resume at his farm,
closing by 4pm or 5pm. So far so good the work isn’t jived; I just need the
cash for some personal expenses. Now am counting down to two particular
days...pay check day and resumption date...till then, as the SUG of my school
used to say, so I say...Aluta Continua
Victoria Asertera!

The Recent Turn of Events in My life
Hello peeps,its been a really long time now that i have put my writings down on any of my blogs and today i just wanted to do something different and then i decided to write! It feels really great to be back and to express my thoughts and experiences to the world. A lot has happened over the past few months since I last wrote in this blog but today i would just like to give an overview of these past events.
School resumed on the 28th of February with me having an optimisstic spirit for a great second session on OAU campus. Lectures kicked of when they were supposed to. I met my old friends and classmates and reconnected the broken social bonds. It was great seeing all these peeps again as it had been months that I saw all of them last. I got a place to put my head as my plan of where to stay didn't work out. Through social networking and other means I was able to make new friends of out some peeps in my department. I also joined the editorial commitee of the department to help it with some of my ideas. Now, I have a mini-project work to finish in the next one week of which am almost through with anyway. As for romance, I made a very good friendship out of a female in my department and part but she said she was not willing to enter a relationship with someone in the same school with her...that we should just be friends....
Well, thats all for now! See you guys later...take care and be the best!

My life at 22
Hello friends! It's been some time I wrote in this blog as I was working on my other blogs. I just wanted to let you know of what's been happening all the while since I last wrote.
After arriving from school, I resumed my volunteer work at the Relief Club(a youth organisation targeted at helping indigent but serious young people to be their best) by coordinating a UTME tutorial. I also joined in the organisation of meetings and programmes. These series of activities have really enhanced my productivity in these areas since I didn't have the opportunity to do so when I was in school.
Then came my birthday which I 'celebrated' yesterday with my family and friends. It wasn't much fun to write about but what I want to point out here is the time I took this morning to put my life in perspective. I decided to put some things on hold and boost the continuity of some other things. I reviewed my journey so far and set new targets for the journey ahead. It was a most interesting exercise. I write this to encourage you to the same with your life.
Sit down and spend some time with yourself. Enough of the jumping here and there,answering to another man's work when yours is left unattended to. Think deep about your life and the direction it is taking and you will have no cause to regret doing so.
I still remain your friend and Life Coach, Gbemisola Tobi. Have a fantastic week!

Food For Thought!
"Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you." -- Oscar Wilde
You were just elected President....of your life. Dont wait on a politician or political party to fix your life.- Dave Ramsey
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow'" -- Mary Anne Radmacher
"Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is." -- Vince Lombardi
This poignant distinction was once shared with me: Before you build your business plan, build your LIFE plan. Figure out what kind of life you want to have FIRST - where you want to live, what type of people you want around you, whether you want to work nights & weekends, how you want to dress, etc. THEN build your business plan around these criteria. I was once doing this all backwards... you?- Dave Ramsey
The uncreative mind can spot wrong answers, but it takes a creative mind to spot wrong questions. -Anthony Jay
