When preparing for a journey,you get up, take a shower,dress up nicely,make sure your already packed bag is locked properly, infact sometimes cross-check to see if anything is missing, After which we set off and your face and eyes remain forward until you get to your destination.
This approach should be used in the pursuit of our dreams and purpose as well..
Gather all knowledge,keep moving,keep doing what you find yourself doing now and Don't let anything take your eye back because THE ONLY TIME YOU SHOULD LOOK BACK IS TO SEE HOW FAR YOU HAVE COME and smile because it's a proof that you are close to your destination.
GOOD MORNING

Family is not just about blood and same surname...there is more to it..
smiles, someone just said as long as you have your basic needs you are good to go...
That is also a lie...
U agree with me that you can get food, clothes, shelter, protection and d rest from anywhere apart from your family..
The only thing your family can give you genuinely that you can't really find outside is LOVE....if everything is available in a family and there is no love.. then, there is no family...So, fathers and mothers before you start boasting of d family u are supposed to build, check your love tank.
only then will u get d right words to say...
Family is everything
BUT
LOVE is all you need to be called a FAMILY....
BUILD LOVE.....BUILD YOUR FAMILY

HAPPY EASTER IN ADVANCE

MERRY CHRISTMAS FAMILY.....

CAN MY JOB BECOME MY CAREER

In the previous two parts of this series, we have surveyed the principal concepts; Job and Career, we have also in the immediate past part learned 6 key factors to consider while choosing a career. Now is this interesting segment we are about to find out if one's job can become his/her career and how to achieve that if its possible.
Well, the answer to the question above is a big YES. Your job can become your career, because the truth is there can't be a career without a job so in other words, careers are built out of jobs or series of jobs done successfully. The key player in this game is Attitude. Your attitude towards your job determines the possibility of you building a successful career out of it. Therefore, if you really want to make a good career out of your job, then, abide by the following;

1 MAKE YOUR CONTACTS YOUR OWN
You may be dealing with people as a representative of your company, but it is important to make those contacts yours.Why? This is because, relationships drive business and everything else. if and when you leave that job, the most important thing you will take with you is not only professional acquaintances, but personal connections.There is a saying "Do not burn bridges; you don't know how many times you'll have to cross it".

2 BE KNOWN FOR YOU, NOT YOUR JOB
Do not let the thoughts of your customers just be about your role in your company. Do not let your important position in your company define you. Be a real person, be yourself and with that you will become memorable.

3 MAINTAIN YOUR INTEGRITY
Do not think for a moment that your reputation does not follow you forever. It doesn't matter if you are changing jobs or changing status, if people have negative things to say about you, words will get around. Treat everyone well. Do not lie.... Be honest when you do business.

4 BE RESPONSIVE
This is the simplest way to build a strong reputation. Reply your messages, emails,etc.if you do not know the answer to any question, let them know you are working on it. When someone does something for you, follow up with a Thank you note, if the job fails don't hesitate to send in an apology and propose a more satisfying service on future deals.

5 INTEREST IN PEOPLE
There are no insignificant people,there is no person unworthy of your time.listen to what people have to say. form alliances, Do favours.etc.

Don't forget, your ATTITUDE is everything! Create a synergy within yourself, your client, your job and your organization. That's how to move from position to position instead of moving merely from task to task.

Good Evening,
ECF.

JOB VS CAREER [PART 2]

So far, we have made success in explaining the principal concepts in this series; Job and Career and continuing the series, today we will x-ray key factors to consider while choosing a career. It is okay to desire a field of endeavor but the most important thing is excelling in that area. Nevertheless, achieving career success begins with choosing the right career for you. Therefore carefully examine these points as it will help guide you into choosing a career best fit for you.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A CAREER

GENDER: Regardless of the height of gender equality trend in the society today, a person’s gender still has a major role to play in career choice. You need to ask yourself “does this career suite me as man or a lady” you need to know the percentage of persons in your gender class, who are successful in that field. When you do, be sure that with regards to your gender capacity that you can break forth in that before taking your first step.

INTEREST: In your choice making, you must consider your area of personal interest, note the things you love to do and can do well with little or no supervision. After that, you need to balance it out with what you want to choose as a career. A simple instance could be a passionate orator seeking a career in professional surgery; he/she will end up becoming a complete mishap. So take your time list out your interest and study how it correlates with the choice of career you have in mind and that way, you will have a longer joyful work experience.

DURABILITY: With the rate of civilization and development, so many fields of endeavor have gone on extinction and now the question could be “what would be the fate of those who gave in all they had in years past hoping to build the longest lasting career in that area”? This could happen to you in twenty to thirty years time. So you need to be sure if that lucrative and prestigious career you have in mind can stand the test of time. Foresight is important in choosing a career; if you don’t see a future with that career, then don’t venture into it.

TRANSFERABLE SKILLS: Transferable skills are general abilities acquired and can be put to use in many jobs. You gain them from previously completed jobs, projects, hobbies sports and special training. Gaining extra skills is like a support ammunition pack that serves a fall back when a career ladder breaks as discussed in the No 3 (DURABILITY). So while you choose your career, avail yourself the opportunity to add to your skills list because it might your umbrella under the heavy rain or scutchy sun.

WORKPLACE READINESS: Many employers insist that freshly graduated students are not competent enough to meet up to employability standard and therefore settling in a career for young school leavers becomes a challenge. These employers often say that fresh graduates; do not understand the business world, cannot appreciate the concept of teamwork, lack the knowledge of communication procedures, negotiation skills, problem solving strategies, leadership strength, organization capacities and internal motivation, meaning that they are NOT “Workplace Ready”. But you who is about to settle for a career, you need have to ask yourself if you have what it take for an employer to appreciate you in your desired field as regards the factors stated above. If yes, strengthen it and if no, cultivate; it’s a gateway.

CAN THIS CAREER BE FUN? It is certain that you must under perform in any field that does not give you inner satisfaction so seek a career in area of your passion. The joy you achieve in your career should not be tied to your paycheck or title alone but majorly to blissful feeling you get after successfully accomplishing a task in that field which means, if the career you have in mind cannot provide this feeling then don’t indulge in it. Career should be fun and exciting.
Proper consideration of these factors will help you avoid stunted career while you build a healthy on.

Having balance the principal concepts in the maiden part and have build a career selection filter in this part, we will further in the next part consider the possibility of turning your job into career. Don’t forget to like our page and share this helpful materials for good living.

CAREER VS JOB (PART 1)

Energy alongside Time are the most Important assets of mankind and the best part is; every individual is given the opportunity to utilize these assets while on earth but the scariest feeling is gotten from the thought of under using your quota. On the other hand, financial stability is one of mankind’s greatest needs. Two of many ways of attaining this is owning a job or a career. It’s okay to think that the both of them mean the same thing but truly there is a thin line that differentiates them and in this series we will find out what rests in between that thin line and finally out of those differences decide on which is better while we make our choice.
To start this series I’d like to you understand the individual concepts; Career and Job.
Career, is the sum of decisions that direct your educational, social, economic, political and spiritual endeavors, reflecting your unique personality and basic life values. Everyone can have a career if you put your mind to it. Careers are not meant for slender ladies with blue eyes and red lips, or tall masculine men with big eyes and computer brains. It is meant for any and everyone who desires it including YOU!!
On other hand, a Job is anything that is done to earn cash immediately. It is also a person’s role in the society. Most specifically a job is an activity often times regularly performed in exchange for payment and as obvious as it is, that is what most people are after.
In The next part of this series, we will be exploring the important steps to consider when choosing a career and the possibility of turning your job into a full career.

Good Day,
