Handling Phobia

-
When a confusing question meets a troubled mind, a confusing interpretation is digested and a wrong answer is projected. This wrong answer is called 'Phobia' (Fear)

- Calm your nerves
- Let your mind be settled
- Reduce your anxiety
- Believe in yourself
- Finally, take a deep breath and fire on.
(Richard 's Theory of Handling Fear)

The Forgotten Key

-

Thursday night, I forgot my apartment key in the office while in haste to close early. I eventually got home and had to stay at the door for so long, helpless and thinking about how I will gain access into the house, then I got this insight. No matter how small, tiny or little a key is, it remains the sole access to opening a locked door and in a bid to do without the key we have two alternatives… either to break the door, or to damage the lock (or a combination of the two). Nonetheless, my point is “it is important to have the key to access every doors of life", with the appropriate key, you may not have to struggle to achieve anything, you may not have to go a longer route, you may not have to destroy something else, you may save yourself the whole stress of trying to cut corners in achieving goals. Grab hold of the right key today and you will be surprised how easy it will be for you to access every closed door. In conclusion, I eventually had to request for th

THE BROKEN PENCIL (Episode 1)

A broken pencil with a new phase of life. "Success is not final, failure is not fatal; It is the courage to continue that counts." Recently, I deeply researched about the reasons why we fail and the lessons we learn (or ought to have learnt) from such failures. In this light, I would like to share a personal experience. In 2006, I partook in an international exam of which I failed woefully. I can remember I was in the junior class in college then. The effect of that exam's result was so traumatic that I became completely abashed with everything around me. Friends whose assumptions is that I cannot pass the exam were elated because they didn't pass too. We all failed! But then, I was astonished when I came about this broken pencil's ✏️ picture again last year. I remembered how the sight of the picture proffered a permanent solution to the 1,001 thoughts in my mind back then. I grabbed my pen as I began to outpour my mind inside my notepad. Yet, I w

Are you fit for purpose? - Yomi Olugbenro

Yomi Olugbenro (Partner,  West AfricaTax Leader at Deloitte) For young professionals and job seekers: Are you fit for purpose? Would you hire you? I’ve been reflecting over my recent experiences while interacting with fresh graduates and how inadequately prepared they are for the corporate world. There’s crisis brewing as we unleash more into the labour market without the needed capacity and mentality. We seems to talk quite often about unemployment issues in the country, but the challenge of “unemployability” is far bigger. Many job seekers approach interviews for which they are blatantly incompetent with entitlement mentality. The words of Dr Salami at the recent Deloitte in Dialogue on Nigeria Economic Outlook 2018 (#DeloitteNEO18) on our labour force’s “fitness for purpose” brought back the memory few days back. We claimed to have large and cheap labour force but we do not fully appreciate the competence gap. We could blame it on the education policy and/or the school s
