THE GREATEST ASSET : TIME

Image
It will be true to say that everyone has 24 hours a day: whether you are a man or woman ; undergraduate or graduate; rich or poor; one of the popular sayings is ‘TIME is MONEY’; though the issue of the ways student spend their time especially in the 21 st century is   very pathetic. Back in the days of our fore fathers, they never imagine what a phone is like; nowadays the issue of social media has possibly caused more harm than good to our undergraduates; one of the silent time killers was 2go. To worsen it all, 2go set up stages whereby a student who is in the stage called Novice will love to progress till he becomes an Ultimate (black star), you can imagine a student who has ten (10) courses in a semester and can’t   spend up to 30 minutes in one topic   of the course outline. Who is deceiving who? Time wasters are like Corona virus disease which must be prevented. Imagine a student chatting for six hours and yet still not tired; he/she only logs out when the batt...

PHARMACIST'S OATH: MY REFLECTIONS.

Image
How time flies, the good news is that you are the pilot. I wrote this three years ago on my Facebook page and decided to post it on my blog. "I picked out my Pharmacist's oath to ponder on its contents, just like the 10 commandments, there was 10 "I shall" in the oath." The second 'I shall' is very delicate and demanding and it quotes: "I shall apply the full measure of my knowledge,  skills and abilities to improving the health and well being of all those I serve and place their needs above my personal interest and considerations" You may understand better if you do night calls,  after  and vigorous day duty and your body calls  for rest, when the patient comes knocking your sleep should give way for immediate attention to the patient. Today,3rd November, 2017 will be one year since I took the oath before many witnesses  and I thank God for the journey so far... I went to the Chapel to take it before God of whom I rely to fulfill the oath ...

BETTER TOGETHER

Image
There is power in unity, when a group of people unite to achieve a task there is always a great achievement. The bible draws our mind to this passage: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 New International Version 9  Two are better than one,      because they have a good return for their labour: 10  If either of them falls down,      one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls      and has no one to help them up. 11  Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.      But how can one keep warm alone? 12  Though one may be overpowered,      two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Also there is a saying: “ If you want to walk  fast  walk  alone and  if you want  to move  far  move  together ”  Unity is vital in anything you do; there is strength in coming together, when we le...

Leadership experiences

Image
  I see a leader as someone with foresight and who is ready to sacrifice his time, skills and resources in achieving a goal while collaborating with others. For a society to thrive there is need for a good leadership of which some platforms like the Chevening body is doing great in grooming leaders to better our societies. I grew up in my family as a leader. I have 5 younger siblings of which I show them good example, recently during the lock-down due to the Covid-19 pandemic, my younger brothers were not in school, since they were not engaged in any academic activity, I informed them of acquiring skills in website design and coding, they joined me for the lessons and they became knowledgeable about the digital space. They went further to take courses on the internet which also motivated me to do online courses. Taking responsibility to impact other people’s lives can be beneficial, because their achievements can motivate you to do more and improve yourself. During my undergr...
