Love................ The Tough Type

Yaaaay! I'm back

 Today musings is about love, an idea I love so much but it is not just the mushy, eros kinda love but tough love borne of deep affection to right a wrong or imbibe certain principles in this individual. Before I go on to the lesson, let me tell the story of the inspiration behind this.

 Dupe (the lady who makes my nails) was already so late for the appointment but as a 'loyalist' that I am, I couldn't go anywhere else, anyways she came back with her baby (I gotta say, this baby is about the only baby that I know of that can laugh to every and anything), she had to feed her first so that she is able to work without any hassle. But this lovely baby won't eat, all the means devised by the mother did not work as she started wailing (Omo, this baby can cry ooo!). 

 That was how Iya Mistura, a neighbor came to the rescue, feeding her in the most 'cruel' way I have ever seen. I'm sure as a Nigerian child you might have been fed this way and for those that are do not know or are not Nigerians, see pictorial description below.


 This got me thinking, it is love that made Dupe allow another mother tend to her baby this way. A bit cruel? Yes I agree but the baby had to be fed to grow. Another revelation struck, some of us need this tough love in our relationships, we need tough love to pass that message our significant other, to let hi/her know badly or inadequately they have been dealing with us and maybe like Dupe's baby, they will cry, sulk but would later realize how advantageous it was to be loved the tough way.

 Thank you...... Please read, comment and share

Dear lovelies! How have you been? I missed you guys so much. Today we will be wearing our Psychic hats as we try to interpret other people's body language towards us as we also try to manage ours during communication. Let's all Read, Enjoy & Learn from Dr. Travis Bradberry, an emotional intelligence expert. Body language provides an amazing amount of information on what other people are thinking  if  you know what to look for. And who hasn’t wanted to read people’s minds at some point? You already pick up on more body language cues than you’re consciously aware of. UCLA research has shown that only 7% of communication is based on the actual words we say. As for the rest, 38% comes from tone of voice and the remaining 55% comes from body language. Learning how to become aware of and to interpret that 55% can give you a leg up with other people. When you’re working hard and doing all you can to achieve your goals, anything that can give you an edge is powerful and wi

Hello Lovelies, I am back! with this topic that has been on my mind for a while and it has finally materialized in my head. As usual please look beyond my stories and deduce the crux of the writing. Enjoy! Once I enter into a commercial bus in Lagos, the first thing I am likely to notice is the synergy/cooperation between the bus driver and conductor, which makes me able to deduce how well the trip will go and 99% of the time I am right (yes i said it 99%). You see this cooperation between these two most important people leading the bus to your destination is as compulsory as you passenger coming in with your change O! if you live in Lagos you know will get the subtle joke.  Let me use this illustration most Lagos (Black and Yellow) commercial buses do not have side mirror which automatically makes the conductor the "eyes" of the driver, the conductor as you see in the picture above usually hangs on the bus and that makes him see further ahead than the driver.

Dear Lovelies! How have you been? I am back from my Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM) exams, it was fine thank you for asking guys . Y'all know I love writing for you guys to read and learn, reading, laughing and generally having fun however, my passion is centered around people and the best way to channel this passion professionally is through Human Resources aka HR. Kindly enjoy with me as I continue on my journey to become the best Human Resource Manager/Director you will know. This I read from Forbes on LinkedIn. Please read, comment and share.  Professionals tend to make things seem very complicated, in an effort to make the the recipients of their advice feel stupid, afraid, intimidated and prone to follow orders. Let’s pick a profession like medicine. Why do doctors use such ridiculously complicated terms? They could easily substitute ominous-sounding symptoms for “boo-boos” and take all the stress and anxiety out of the situation. They don't do
