I am more afraid of the regret of doing too little than the regret of mistakes from attempting too much. It's because even the little attempted will not be free of errors. Much as no one sets out to make mistakes, they are inevitable. Mistakes are how we learn. I noticed while learning to speak English that those who where not afraid to knack kpoa are the ones that eventually improve. While the ones that where afraid of being laughed at remained as bad or worse. When embrace your imperfect self you release your perfect self. Don't be ashamed of your hustle. Don't disregard your journey. You will get there if you start and persist. Good morning. #ThursdayMotivation # IfUknowUknow

Instead, we wallow in sadness and loneliness, and we wonder what in the heck we are doing wrong. The problem could be that you’re looking for happiness in the wrong places.

To be successful is something not everyone achieves. Not for the lack of trying, of anyways. Sometimes, it's just the way you walk, talk or behave. Sometimes, all you need to have is the right body language at that interview. Below are body language cues to impress at a job interview. 1. Sit up straight. Slouching is a sign of laziness.

Be it a child,a spouse a friend an employee etc A drunkard husband, a nagging wife, delinquent juvenile, an underperforming employee or what have you. Some of our people are good behaved but for one or two bad habits we may wish they dropped. We try many things to force people to change for the  better, bribe, threat, pep talks, advise, encouragements and even punishments but they have not worked for some of them.
