The power of Humility
One day during the American
Revolutionary War, a man dressed in civilian outfit rode up to a group of
soldiers trying to raise a beam to a
high position. The corporal who was
overseeing the work kept shouting
words of encouragement, but they
couldn’t manage to do it. After
watching their lack of success,
the man asked the corporal why
he didn’t join in and help. The
corporal replied quickly, “Do you
realize that I am the corporal?”
The man very politely replied, “I beg your pardon, Mr. Corporal, I did.”
He dismounted his horse and
went to work with the soldiers until
the beam was put into place. Wiping
the perspiration from his face, he
said, “If you should need help again,
call on George Washington, your commander in chief, and I will come.”

Culled from George Washington's Biography

Lessons
1. Leadership involves the humility to actually serve alongside the people who signed up to serve us. It’s the gratitude to serve people who sacrifice day in and day out. And it’s the generosity of spirit to serve those who have nothing to offer to us.
2. Humility begats Greatness, no wonder MLK said " Greatness is not measured mansion downwards but manger upwards" . I was not surprised when George Washington became the First President of USA. His humility propelled him to greatness

NEVER, NEVER NEVER

On October 29,1949, Winston Churchill rose to give a speech in Harrow school. He said the following:
"Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never — in nothing, great or small, large or petty — never give in, except
to convictions of honor and good sense.
His words encapsulated his biography

As a small boy,he talked like a stammerer. He wasn't considered good for anything in school but he became an orator
When he joined politics,he wasn't considered good .He once rose to address the House of Commons and they all walked out on him because he was so boring. He did not give up. He often spoke to empty chairs and echoes were his companions. The result of his stubborn determination, he became the Prime Minister of Britain
He wasn't considered fit for the army, he became a ruthless general
My advice- Never Never give in even when there is no hope, hold on and fight for a little while. A great man once said " a champion never give up,he fights one more round"

Greetings of the Season to Y'all and

Firsties,
Firstly, I need help. I have lost my appetite, rest of mind and sleep. Probably because I have been bitten by Pressid bug. I calculate my weighted average every seconds.
Secondly, I think using waec by nuc is unfair. Most pressid candidates wrote their waec in (2008- ),era of A's . This puts a person wit 60 in d test &with a waec point of 30(relevant 5) ahead of someone with 80 in aptitude test and 15pts in waec
Futhermore, I wanna make frends with the bestbrains in this country cos someday I want to be the best in my field.. I wish to lead the team dt'll build Nigeria's first nuclear power plant and I believe there is somewhere here in this thread dt'll take us to the moon
So who'll be my friend and who is with me @# team nuclear engineer#
Finally, I need help, I need Cinfores software,who'll be nice enough to share with poor me

FG to sponsor 100 first class graduates abroad

MINISTER of Education, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, has said the Federal Government is set to sponsor 100 first class graduates for further studies abroad.
He spoke on Sunday in Kano during a media interaction and an awards ceremony.
Shekarau said the100 first class materials would be sponsored under the Special Presidential Scholarship Programme.

According to him, President Goodluck Jonathan has instructed the Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) to select the best graduates and secure admissions for them to study up to doctorate level in universities abroad.
“President Jonathan instructed that best students should be screened all over the country irrespective of their locations for scholarships outside the country,” he said.

Shekarau said the first batch had been screened and would soon leave the country to study in the best 25 universities in the world.
The minister said as part of the government’s effort to provide Nigerians qualitative education some university lecturers had been sponsored for various training locally and abroad.
“The lecturers will study both within and outside Nigeria under the Tertiary Educational Trust Fund (TETFund).
