The School Deceit

Grades can get you a job, but character will build a business empire. I don't give room to people who believe in grades, they are toxic and sickening people. When all you care about in life is going to school, get the grades, come out and look for paid employment, I think you are making a huge mistake. Grades does not guarantee greatness, if am wrong, you can use our President as a case study. Only in third world countries, that too much emphasis is laid on getting grades rather than building drivers of the Nation, but lo, they build incapacitated people. Only in Africa countries have seen parents pestering their child to become doctors, lawyers, engineers, and prevalently accountants, and so on, but am baffled to see no development in this circle, due to huge investment on reading to get grades, rather than producing people with creative ideas. What makes me poignant is stretched to the fact that most of the creative ones, are unprivileged to have good education and sponsorship, because they are not recognised due to their inability to have a B.sc, or some sulky  Masters degree. I weep for my country, that is not ready to change the fundamental systems. The country won't change until we change our problematic institutionalized systems.
The way Africans read, figuratively “Nigerians” make me think why there are numerous underdevelopments in our major sectors, and most importantly our economy, out of thousand experts and professionals we have been producing over the years, then I realise that they are not the problem but the system they used in learning and practicing. What do you think when you hear  Cobol, QBasics and some outdated languages are still taught in a Computer class at this sphere of advancement, that's when you take the blame off the wall and defocuses it from the professionals and redirected it to the nonsense been taught.
That's why we have issues.
We need to reinvent and reinvest in our traditional education systems and its impact on the consumers..
Maybe we can learn one or two strategy from The Europeans, even The Asians. These coterie of humans have been able to design a platform where major sectors could thrive without problems. Dubai, Singapore, China, Japan and the likes moved from Third World tag to Industrialist Nations.

What are we looking when these countries are going forward, I bet we are on Mt Sinai then. Despite the difficulties of living in these countries, they gave their citizens the best by devising the plan on  what they love to do and that make them top dogs today.

If we can refocus our energy on getting the best out of our people rather than testing their memories, maybe we can come to the table with a wild card..
If we can try and change some of the rubbish, consumers of education learn and redirected it to what they can do best, maybe our marks would have been indelible.
Let's come to the tables of restructuring and recodifying our systems and thinking, into creating development as a Nation and Continent as a whole.

Zodiacs and Marriage

There are 12 zodiac signs, and each sign has its own strengths and weaknesses, its own specific traits, desires and attitude towards life and people. By analyzing the projection of the position of
planets , and the Sun and the Moon on the Ecliptic at the moment of birth. Astrology can give us a glimpse of a person's basic characteristics, preferences, flaws and fears.
I made it simple for you to find out what your zodiac sign is, Its complete profile and it's compatibility with other zodiac signs. By selecting your sign from the detailed zodiac sign dates list you will discover everything on the character of your Sun sign, it's Horoscope, traits, profile, history, myth and love compatibility.

Each of the 12 horoscope signs belongs to one of the four elements – Air, Fire, Water and Earth. These elements represent an essential type of energy that acts in each of us. Astrology aims to help us focus these energies on the positive aspects and to gain a better understanding of our potential and our positive traits and deal with negative ones.
These four elements help describe the unique personality types associated with astrological signs. The four zodiac elements exhibit profound influence on basic character traits, emotions, behavior and thinking.

Water Signs:
Water signs are exceptionally emotional and ultra-sensitive. They are highly intuitive and they can be as mysterious as the ocean itself. Water signs love profound conversations and intimacy. They rarely do anything openly and are always there to support their loved ones.
The Water Signs are: Cancer, Scorpio and
Pisces .

Fire Signs:
Fire signs tend to be passionate, dynamic, and temperamental. They get angry quickly, but they also forgive easily. They are adventurers with immense energy. They are physically very strong and are a source of inspiration for others. Fire signs are intelligent, self-aware, creative and idealistic people, always ready for action.
The Fire Signs are: Aries , Leo and
Sagittarius .

Earth Signs:
Earth signs are “grounded” and the ones that bring us down to earth. They are mostly conservative and realistic, but they can also be very emotional. They are connected to our material reality and can be turned to material goods. They are practical, loyal and stable and they stick by their people through hard times. The Earth Signs are: Taurus , Virgo and
Capricorn.

Air Signs:
Air signs are rational, social, and love communication and relationships with other people. They are thinkers, friendly, intellectual, communicative and analytical. They love philosophical discussions, social gatherings and good books. They enjoy giving advice, but they can also be very superficial. The Air Signs are: Gemini ,
Libra and Aquarius.

Zodiac Signs Compatibility Love Chart

There are no incompatible zodiac signs in astrology, which means that any two signs are more or less compatible. Two people whose zodiac signs are highly compatible will get along very easily because they are on the same wavelength. But, people whose zodiac signs are less compatible, will need to be more patient and tactful in order to achieve a happy and harmonious relationship.
As we all know, zodiac signs belong to four elements:
Fire : Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Earth: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Air : Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Water : Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Signs that have the same element are naturally compatible because they understand each other best, and in addition, Air is highly compatible with Fire, and Water is highly compatible with Earth. The strongest attraction is expected in opposing signs and their potential is always great. Synastry is a branch of astrology where two natal charts are compared in order to determine the quality of the love connections between zodiac signs. Synastry or a relationship horoscope can be a useful tool for partners who want to know the strengths and weaknesses in their relationship. Comparing signs can also help in gaining a better understanding of the partner, which will result in a better relationship.

There are three zodiac charts, these are:

Chinese Astrology
Chinese astrology is based on the traditional astronomy. The development of Chinese astrology is tied to that of astronomy which came to flourish during the Han Dynasty. The Chinese Zodiac is one of the oldest known horoscope system in the world and consists of twelve animals that represent a certain year. According to Chinese astrology, the year of a person's birth is represented by one of these animals. The twelve animal signs or zodiac symbols are Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Chinese astrology also has five elements of nature namely: water, wood, fire, earth and metal. According to Chinese astrology, a person's destiny can be determined by the position of the planets and the positions of the Sun and Moon at the person's time of birth. Chinese believe that our birth year can determine our attitude and potential and that animal birth signs have symbolism and represent a specific behavior.

Vedic Astrology
Jyotisha is traditional Hindu system of astrology and astronomy, which is also known as Hindu or Indian astrology or more recently Vedic astrology. Vedic astrology horoscopes are divided into three main branches: Indian astronomy, Mundane astrology and Predictive astrology. Indian astrology can reveal our character, guide our future and reveal which are our most compatible signs. One of the greatest tools that Vedic astrology has given us is the position of the Moon and Nakshatras. The Nirayana (sidereal zodiac) is a fictional belt of 360 degrees which like the tropical zodiac is divided into twelve equal parts. Unlike Western astrology which uses the moving zodiac, Vedic astrology uses the fixed zodiac. So, in the Vedic zodiac system you most likely will no longer be the same star signs you thought you were although there are some exceptions.

Mayan Astrology
Mayan astrology is based on the Mayan calendar and it's one of the most forward-thinking kinds of astrology. The Mayan calendar or Tzolkin is based on the intangible energy of the cosmos and the evolution of creation. The Tzolkin calendar consists of twenty day signs (solar tribes) and thirteen Galactic numbers, making a 260-day calendar year. Ancient Mayans believed that in order to have peace and harmony in life, you had to understand and align yourself with this universal energy. Each of these twenty signs represents a day in a Mayan calendar, thus allowing individuals of different months and years to share the same day glyph. One's Mayan day sign defines his/her personality.

Why Do We Believe in Astrology
Although astrology is not a religion, it offers comfort, faith and a deeper understanding of the world we live in. Interpretations often offer assurances of one's future, but more importantly, they are supposed to show us a way to resolve our issues and to improve our relationships with our partners, family, and friends and mainly tools to meet ourselves and discover our own inner worlds in a different light.
Astrology claims that nothing in life is coincidental and everything that happens to us happens for a particular reason. Astrology can provide us some good answers as to why these things happen to us and it guides us on our steps forward. In this way, astrology actually helps people to understand themselves and the world around them much better.
Astrology works, astrologers don’t. Most of the people who visit astrologers or read their horoscopes regularly, end up with a sensation of fulfillment and satisfaction somewhat like euphoria. This does not mean that the astrologers have accurately predicted the individuals future or present based on their horoscope dates, but it means that having a horoscope cast can be actually a very fulfilling experience.
The Earth is positioned under the constellations that were known as our star signs millenniums ago. Although signs don't coincide with the constellations anymore, we are still under the influence of seasons and planetary movements in the same way as we were back then. Many people diligently follow their horoscopes and believe in their astrology signs meanings. This isn't surprising, as astrology is widely popular and everyone in the world knows which are their horoscope dates and signs. People enjoy reading their horoscope signs forecasts and this often leads to changes in personalities, behaviors and decision-making processes.
Astrology can be a real lifesaver because it lets you know of the future obstacles and problems in advance. It is up to you whether you want to believe the advice and precautions suggested in a horoscope reading and save yourself from the pain without doing much. Here is your first problem - There is no salvation “without doing much”. This is the main problem with approach to chart readings – everyone has to put up a strong effort to change things in their lives.

Some People believe in astrology because others before them did and curiosity it a basic human nature, but the further drawn into astrology the more clear things become. The zodiac dates, the signs. We can associate zodiac signs to almost all aspects of our lives and we will see they are truly insightful and correct. Our horoscopes are unique and they can help us find and reveal our strengths, weaknesses as well as our natural qualities.
Astrology can also help us find, which relationships are compatible - and which are not. Horoscope compatibility can improve our relationships with other zodiac signs. By knowing about your love potential you can make the best use of opportunities and take appropriate measures leading to a happy love or married life.
Astrology takes into account two major aspects - our birth potential and the effects of the planets and the stars on our personal horoscope. It can help us choose the right career and education path in order to make a good and successful life.
Last, but not least - we believe in astrology because it's about us. My horoscope is like a blueprint of my life that got created precisely at the time I was born. That means that my birth chart is almost as unique as my fingerprints. Each planet's placement in my horoscope can reveal a lot about my personality and destiny.
Astrocartography is one method of locational astrology which claims to identify varying life conditions through differences in geographic location. Reportedly, by comparing your natal chart to different areas in the world, you can determine the area where you'll be most successful.

Marriage will be more harmonious if we can spare a bit of our time to study personality and character based on Zodiac Signs.

These are the real dates of the Zodiacs, know your sign.

The Educated Illiterate

What is Education?
We say "The process or art of imparting knowledge, skill and judgment". Be notified about the prominent words in our definition above, " imparting, knowledge, and skill". These are the three keywords we will be deducing our claims from.
IMPARTING: Simply means the act of communicating  the knowledge of a particular field into a system through impartation as the final processed word for such act.
Imparting is actually another word for inculcating, that is, the act of indulging a system to be programmed by a system. All this analysis leads us to the actions that takes place when education as the finished product is about to jet off its course. The next keyword is Knowledge.
KNOWLEDGE" Simply means "The fact of knowing about something; general understanding or familiarity with a subject, place, situation. This can be said to be the second stage in the process of learning to get educated. After imparting, Knowledge is the next digging prowess of education, or the power house behind education itself. Without knowledge, no man can approach the word " education ". It is imperative to understand how logical it is in producing a momentum for a driving spirit, such momentum is found in the amount of what you know. What you know determine how educated you will become, other than being a degree holder or a pan reader, what is most prominent is how much knowledge have you been able to glean from your devotions. Knowledge is power according to the popular quote, you need knowledge before education, because that is the brain box of education. Knowledge is then the daughter to imparting. Thirdly, is a talk on the word " Skill".
SKILL: Simply means "To have personal or practical knowledge; to be versed or practised; to be an expert or dexterous in handling problems". This is the final product of education which equivalent is likened to " Wisdom". Skill is what you need to have after impartation and knowledge, because that is the arduous reason you give in to learning and pursuance. By the margin of this stage, people won't see the knowledge you have again nor how you gain it, all they want to see is the result. This connotes my favourite quote which says "Nobody cares if you are good or not, what they care about is the result you can show them". When you get to this stage, it means you must have been through with your high school, first degree, if possible all through to the last stem of degree, which is Doctorate or PhD as it is popularly called. And by the virtue of setting off your world against this qualification, your personality is already in tango with the world look, that is, people no longer see you as uneducated or illiterate anymore but a high placed personality in the society. You are no longer the kid of no understanding but rather the man of great value. No one expect failure from you rather than success. what the eyes want to see is how powerful you can be and how influential you have become by possessing such a great deal of acquisitions.
It is a fact in our world today, that the analogy of experimentation above is under threat in our today world because of the new buzz that has get a hold on the so called powerful elite, which otherwise can be called "the graduates" and make them the "Educated Illiterate".

WHAT IS EDUCATION ILLITERACY
This is the inability to interpret the value of being educated to solve an inadequacy. In the layman terms, it is the act of not been able to show the valuation of the sum total answer of being educated.
Many people are educational illiterate, not that they are unable to read or learn but due to the fact that they are unable to think and interpret a known problem with a solution but rather become the root of declination. To iron this straight, there are known examples of this kind of personality. One, is a man who can't understand the true meaning of maturity, other than bragging about how much degree he/she had acquire, all point in to the fact of high graded illiteracy. You maybe the most educated man in your working place or school department, _ if you are not inclined with skills of education other than crawling with how much knowledge or how imparted are you, you are no different to an empty barrel that  has a great physique for a good storage cabin but the contents are already leaking. This shows the fact that, it's not how much you know that matter but how skillful and wise you can be with what you know... Don't let anyone get you twisted with their tongue sugar,  search for knowledge to become skillful and wise.. Most professors and talk managers are preferably the Educated illiterates.
Many of them are not what you view them to be, myriads are of unskillful realities. That is, they profess what they know, not what they do..
Don't be like that graduate that cannot defend that certificate, these ones are the 3rd category in our topic. The first are the Individuals with degree related professions.
Secondly, are the couples in marriage..(This will be another article entirely, The Couples Goals). Thirdly, are the students, teachers, traders and so on. These are the category of people that falls into the chase of education illiteracy.

You and I may actually have been a victim or possibly the victims itself
We've all fall into one category or the other, what matters is not where we fall to but how to  hold a grab of understanding the trueness of education.

I will continue this article in the next chapter.

The Dream Chaser

                  The Greatest Lie
Everyone had pass through at least a phase in their lives. No meeting with man that would not generate a historical features or folktales about such person life. I have counter varieties of such occurrence, and I am able to arrive at a conclusion that every man is a living history. I once come across a man who tell me about the most annoying moments of his life, and this he said to me "I regret the times I didn't give up for myself and directed it towards working for survival rather than living". I was spurred when o heard this, it makes me realised the unscrupulous drives behind working for survival. I will make this post a debatable one, on the fact that you can brainstorm your ideas with it. 
1. Are you living or surviving: Every man is a dream chaser, in forasmuch you are breathing. We all came into the world to make a way and mould a purpose, but we get stucked along the way, we become a chaser rather than a hunter. Have you ever imagined yourself just living off on something that is unavoidable, such as money. I use money as the basis for this discussion, cause it is the main driver of every humans in the world. This signify the meaning of the above assumption. ILiving in the world as been much expensive compare to surviving which is the treatise of all. When you live, you become a hunter, but when you survive, you turn to s chaser in the wild goose chase called " Dream". The word Dream has been the notion of the serious minded one, which connotes the biography of a focus mind, but it is a questionable word that requires total understanding. Virtually, every man I met in my life talks about having dreams and include chase in it, which says Dream Chase. They talked about it in an educative, just to get you impaled with a focus heart and serious one that will eventually prevent you from achieving the real purpose of who you are, instead of following generally accepted notion of "chase the dreams.
I am not counteracting the basis of this notion but to give a true meaning to what " Dream" means.
I was once a victim of such misconception. What is most important is that, to survive is the same as to chase dreams. Back to the subject matter, when I was 20, I had a dream to be a successful entrepreneur and also to be an established employer, but there was no actualization to this assumption, because it's just a dream not my real life purpose. 
I want to live not to survive, that's why I stopped being s dream chaser and started hunting success.
2. Who are you: Look at the question and review yourself with it. This is a questionable question but salient in producing the major fact of living. When you ask yourself this, you must get a befitting answer as to whether to live or survive, because it's not just the question it's actually the reason. The day you realised why you were born and the meaning of your existence, there won't be difficulty in understanding the next statement. When you live, you are living your potential, gifts, talents, rather than spending your entire lifetime chasing a mirage.
You don't have to work hard, before succeeding in life, because you are the work yourself. 
3. What can you do: Every greatest man on earth, had pass through this solution stage, but let's look at their secrets.
a. They don't live on paid employment but on their intuition.
b. They never follow the crowd, just to understand who they are, but tap into their God's given imagination and invention to validate themselves.
c. They work hard on their brains and creativity and not on exerting labour works.
d. They killed doubt and believe in themselves.
e. They won't displease themselves just to please you.
f. They are the fastest thinker ever liveth.
g. They don't argue with mediocres.
If all these traits can be cultivated by you today, nothing will stop you anymore. You will no longer be a dream chaser but a success hunter through who you validate yourself to be.
Don't survive but live.

The Last Wish

The Wish: 

You can be anything you want and be in want of anything, but all can be ascribe to the word "WISH". The prerogative of any self-made actions usually serves as a trajectory to the word wish. This is meant to change your thinking towards energetic and soul ravishing kind of wishes that has the capacity to delve you into success.

The Man's Thoughts: Everyone is a genius, based on the fact that you can think. The thinking sensors are best motivated when aligned with the heart interpretations of problems. We all have problems and issues that solution can best fit in, but there are hindrances and surrounding circumstances that could or cannot allow the human power to take control. Wishes are best defined as unachievable/anxious thoughts that does not have certainties. Checking in with the definition, it's proper deduced as an uncertain prospects which only has probability. Every humans thought is to live the best, but unknowingly these can be hard to get. I will align my subheading with the basis of a good and bad Wish.

The good Wish: A Wish that is made with hopes. Hopes in accordance with faith, get a wish to materialize without any hiccups.

The bad Wish: A wish in unduly chronic thinking surrounded by doubts and unpromising circumstances. It's mainly on flaunt faiths and hopes.

The basic perceptions of the above attributes can be used to define the thoughts of the human brain. 

Every thoughts comes in either positive or negative notions so as every wishes. You can be optimistic at first glance of a possible Wish but as in conducive as it can be, you can go nuts with your positive attitudes.

I have learnt all through my life, that you can't achieve your wish if you don't have a targeted Wish.
