EXCUSES! EXCUSES! EXCUSES!



EXCUSES (verb)  To exempt from a task, duty or obligation. To serve as an explanation that vindicates, defends or justifies an action. 


This excuses we make, seek to lessen the blame attaching to a fault or offence; you know trying to justify. Sometimes we release our friends or colleagues from a duty or requirement with excuses. 

Excuses!  Excuses!  Excuses! .. Hmm they are the nails used to build a house of failure... By the time that house will collapse it will be a shocker. 


****  A quick story of two final year students, writing their final year project,  a 6 unit course. Girl 1 has a laptop while Girls 2 does not have.  These two girls had the same deadline and different supervisors.  Girl 1's supervisor is always available,  Girl 2's supervisor comes around once in a blue moon . Girl 2 became really worried and concerned about how to get her project done in time, despite all the challenges. So she came up with the idea of borrowing any laptop she can get , she bought a flash drive since her parents can't afford a laptop at that time.. So she continued working borrowing people's laptop and then one day all her past works done on the flash formated somehow and she had to start all over.. GIRL 2 became weak, deadline is close by,  no one wants to borrow her laptop but then she came up with another idea to borrow a laptop from a junior student who does not use it often. That's how she continued her project. BUT Girl 1  gave her project to someone to write for her, regardless the fact that she had all she needed, afterwards the person failed her,  another person offered to help but needed her presence but she kept giving the guy excuses on why she can't come to review the project with him ,  1)she gave excuses that she can't be facing a laptop screen,  that is why she got an helping hand  2) she got an helping hand but gave several excuses on why she can go review the project.  Deadline came and Girl 2 had finished and printed her project ready for defense BUT Girl 1 was still trying to figure out the project. At the end Girl 2 got a B and Girl  1 got a D. Please who had better chances of succeeding?  I choose Girl 1 because she had it all but  excuses ended her up with failure.    
No more excuses excuses make no results***




The more the  excuse for any task or activity the further delay. 

You can have results or Excuses, not both. So choose.  Excuses are the tools of incompetence used to build monuments of nothingness. 

Some of us shy away from things cos they are not important, if they are really important you will not make excuses you will find a way. 

I learnt from Mohandas  Gahandhi  that "Actions expresses priority" 

157,8000,4580,00000 excuses are no Excuse at all .You know,  when I lost all my excuses, I found my result. 

Face your faults,  admit your mistakes now and stop making excuses for them or self defense. ' cos you will never change or be better. 

99% of failures are professionals In making excuses. 

I hear people say : I just can't change...  Pls who says why not find a reason to change, considering things that are at stake, and build one small new habit daily. Then you on the way to change. 

Some say: I am just tired I will do it Tomorrow.
• Let's see how TOMORROW goes. 
• Ookay I will finish up TOMORROW, no light.

TOMORROW TOMORROW the TOMORROW that never gets things done. 
I saw this definition of tomorrow 
Tomorrow (noun) -  a mystical land where 99% of all human productivity, motivation, creativity and achievement is stored.... That cracked me up though.

Give excuses about everything so that you will end up doing nothing 
No excuses.. Enough is enough get things done.

CHANGECOSIS

Change is the only CONSTANT. It is inevitable.  Few days ago I posted this word   CHANGECOSIS on my Instagram page @_expressit and I challenged my followers to find the meaning of the word, but  I almost forgot we are the Google generation (Lol)  so I got answers powered by Google (lol).                       Moreover, my sister, Ifedolapo Ajakaiye(Mrs) inspired this piece, she sent me the word, I thought it was one of those medical terms they use as medical practitioners , but no it is not.  According to her; "After a long period of study on unhealthy conditions and why it threatens life ; I came across a disease that threatens one's ability to enjoy life and develop one's full potential - CHANGECOSIS  ". Yes!   it is a disease. It is wise to avoid this disease, a threat to happy living and growth , better still run from it.  This Changecosis is an unhealthy condition that only those who resist change suffer from it. You need to do whateve

PEN IT DOWN

Life takes place, and it can happen fast. Sometimes we don’t take the time to stop and look around at what is happening to us at each moment. We don’t get to see the step-by-step progress that we are making in our own lives. So, what happens? Gbam! the future comes, and you have no track or idea of how you have gotten there, successful or not. One quick question: How can penning things down help improve your life? Or does it help clear your thoughts when you are upset?  Will penning things down help you determine whether or not you are on your right career path? Will it help you check if you are reaching towards your goal or not? Provide an answer… Writing is an important part of life, whether in the workplace or school, as an hobby or in personal communication, everyone is a writer.  Here is the truth: your effectiveness in life is not what you could be missing out. Each day passes by and you have nothing to prove that it even happened. Did you achieve something? Have a

It BEGINS : The preparation process

Happy new year lovelies, I wish you all an amazing time of celebration and a fruitful year ahead. I can feel the excitement in the air . I  really appreciate you all for following my blog , your support, corrections, encouragement and prayers means a lot to me. God bless you greatly.     Day 1 of 365 days , the year has started, waiting for no one to be ready , let me share this with you; It is about THE PREPARATION PROCESS. Everyone goes through a preparation process, but how we go through it differs. Last year has either been good or bad, just there or really amazing,whatever it is, you are in your preparation process. Each time I see someone grumble or panic and worry (just like me those times.. Lol), I try my best to talk them out of it, and help them see the bigger picture and great things ahead of them. Moreover, this is the period that everyone makes new plans, set new agenda, strategize for the next move and all, but then while making all this plans, we tend to neg
