If you wanna be successful, you MUST let go these 6 things!
If you want to be successful, it’ll be helpful to give up and let go of these things.
Give up your need to impress others
Stop trying to impress others with your lifestyle. Be yourself, live a happy real life and people will love your realness. Trying to impress people only works against us, people sense inauthenticity and we only make ourselves look insecure and unattractive.
Give up your resistance to change
There are few constants in life and change is not one of them. Change is necessary for self-development; both mentally and physically if you want to live a happy life.
At our work places, change is crucial if you want to get recognition and promotions. You can get quality education to make your CV rich and get the better understanding of the business world. If nothing changed, everything would become stagnant and never improve.
Give up on your fears
Fear is a dangerous intangible thing that can hinder your progress and affect your relationships. There’s no cure for courageousness but if there was a remedy for fear, it is courage. "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - Roosevelt.”
Replace fear with love and curiosity, and watch yourself grow rich in experience.
Give Up Self-Depreciation
Life is beautiful. Regardless of the situation, you are in now, don’t ever think the worst of yourself. Patience is a virtue and it will help you deal with the discomfort in a way that best suits your life and the people around you.
Undervaluing yourself ruins confidence and it will be very difficult to rise from your sorry state. Why don’t you inspire yourself and work hard to achieve your dreams?
Give up thinking small
Always think outside the box when it comes to work-related issues, new projects and dealing with people. We are all born genius but others fail to succeed because of their limited thinking. Don't be over-impressed by your past glories. Try to beat your past records and create a niche for yourself in your respective field.

MUST SEE! Kim Kardashian Shows Off Her BANGING BOD In Costa Rica
Five ways to get her not to say no to you
When passio
ns are high, the last thing that you want to hear from a your date is the word, “No.” No matter how much you want to continue or how intense your friendship may be, when a girl says no, it means "no".
But I've come up with really useful tips to follow on the back of such brutal rejection. Oh well, a girl may not really mean "no" after all. Enjoy.
Think About It
It's certainly hard, because you feel ready to take things to the to a whole 'nother new level, but you really have to think about it. Think about how she may be feeling at this time. Surely, she doesn’t like letting you down, but maybe she is not as ready as you are.
Don't Make Her Feel Bad
Everyone has the right to say no and that is totally okay! Making her feel bad for saying no is the worst thing you can possibly do. You may risk blowing the whole relationship if you try to make her feel horrible for the rejection or if you try to pressure her. Venting your anger on her will only make you look immature.
Wait Or Move On
There technically should be no in between. You must decide if she is worth waiting for. Think about how much you care for her, if she is worth the wait or if you’d prefer to try elsewhere. If you really feel the need to be sexual and don’t feel as if you want to wait until she is ready then it is up to you to find someone who vibes equal.
Think Of Why She Said 'No'
There are numerous reasons she may be resistant to your advances. You should consider whether or not this would be her first time. You can also consider that she may have gone through a previous trauma, that might turn her off from sex completely.
Be Decisive
When a woman or a man says no, it truly means NO. It’s up to you to act accordingly and make the right decisions when it comes to a situation like this one. Respect is important in any relationship. It’s crucial to listen to what your partner is saying.

5 Ways to Help Him Last Longer in Bed
It's no secret that many men have an easier time reaching orgasm than many women. That, coupled with the fact that premature ejaculation is the most common sexual disorder in men under 40, means you may frequently find yourself unsatisfied once he's finished. It can be a real let-down to realize his fun is over before you've hardly started.
While you could get him to finish the job by some other means, another solution is to help him last longer in bed. Here are five methods to try.
1. Take it slow
To get your guy to last longer, have him start slow, Men's Fitness magazine suggests. Tell him to aim for one thrust every few seconds, then gradually (like, every two minutes) take it up a notch, to the point where there's a thrust every second or so. If he feels like he's going to come, he should stop thrusting and wait a few seconds until he can control himself and start up again.
2. Do it again and again
A round of vigorous foreplay before sex can work wonders, according to
Cosmopolitan magazine. Not only can you orgasm, which might make you more likely to come again during sex, but getting him to ejaculate before the main event should delay the finish line. For many guys, it takes a certain amount of time to "recharge," which means you should have plenty of time to be satisfied.
3. Try pelvic floor exercises
You've probably heard of Kegels, which are exercises that help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles and improve your chances of orgasm. It turns out, these same exercises can help treat premature ejaculation in men. Research presented recently at the European Association of Urology in Stockholm found that simple pelvic floor exercises improved premature ejaculation rates after 12 weeks in most men. Try doing the exercises together for maximum benefits.
4. Use a condom
Ask a guy who doesn't like wearing condoms why he feels that way and he's bound to tell you, "It doesn't feel as good." Sex with a condom definitely feels different, and you can take advantage of this to get your guy to last longer. The sensations on his penis will be slightly weaker with a condom on, which might translate to longer sex sessions.
5. Switch up the position
If your guy has a go-to move that always gets him off, switch it up. Cosmopolitan suggests missionary or girl-on-top, which can help many men delay the finale. (Skip doggy-style.)

8 Ways To Quickly Get Over A Breakup
Almost all of us have been through a breakup. Some breaktoups are quick and painless, others could be gut-wrenching and destabilizing, but what should you do after a breakup? When you can’t stop thinking about the person who broke your heart, how do you actually move on? Here I offer a few tips to help get over the break as fast as possible so you can move on with your life.
1. Talk About It
You could either talk about it with people your trust or strangers you know you’ll never see again, but either ways find a way to get it off your chest. Talk about it with someone you cry to and wouldn’t judge you. When the people who love you know you’re hurting, they really do rally around you.

4 Ways To Get Your Flirting Game From Meh To Amazing
You’ve seen this behaviour everywhere. Outrageous dancing and forced loud laughing.
Also Read: 4 Sad Signs You're Pretending To Be Over Your Ex
This will just land you in the cringe section. Whatever you do keep all the outrageous behaviour to yourself.
Protip: Just get up and dance in his line of sight. We promise this is enough to get his attention, If he doesn’t notice you then he needs to get his eyes checked.
2.Flirt with your eyes
We call this the 5 second flirt. It’s basically finding a guy you have an attraction to, whether it’s at a bar or a party, and holding that gaze, and If he doesn’t come over, he’s either taken, involved with somebody else, in a relationship or married. Or he could be hitting for the other team. Stay woke sis.
Protip: Remember to blink when you stare at your dream guy. Only psycopaths dont blink sis.
3. Be yourself
Whatever you do, don’t turn into someone that even your own girlfriends don’t recognise.Be confident in who you are. Don’t dumb yourself down by giggling at everything he says or asking questions you already know the answers to.
Protip: Think about how you would feel if someone was to lie about who they were and then you find out that he isn’t who he says he is. Don’t be this person.
4. Designate a wing woman
If you’re out with girlfriends and are tooo shy to approach a guy who’s caught your interest, ask a friend to step in. These what girlfriends are for after all.
Protip: As a group, come up with a debatable question that only a male can answer . Then send one of the girls over—ideally, your married or unavailable friend—to say, My single friends have a question…that only a group of men can settle.
Flirting is not rocket science folks. Anyone with half a will can do it, so get your girlfriends, dress up, go out and apply as prescribed. Good luck.

ASUU Threatens Strike as FG Falls Short on Agreement
The Academic Staff Union of Universities on Wednesday urged that its members should not be held responsible if there is any disruption in the university system, considering how the Federal Government had not shown commitment to carrying out the 2019 Memorandum of Action.
The ASUU National President, Prof Biodun Ogunyemi, stated this at a briefing in Abuja, to give an update on the ongoing renegotiation with the government and to clear the air over the N25billion confirmed by the Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu, to have been approved for universities.
Ogunyemi said the N25billion was meant to be a part-payment of the Earned Academic Allowances and should have been released between February 15 and 28, 2019, as agreed. But this was not done.
He said, “Since information on the amounts mentioned in the media went round, the ASUU has been inundated with enquiries on the union’s perspective to the story.
“Funding for the revitalisation of public universities has for years been of very high priority to ASUU.
“Reaching an agreement with the Federal Government has often been a frustrating journey for our union. It is often marked with protests, strikes and requires a conscious and focused engagement. The 2001 agreement, which gave birth to the 2009 agreement, was not an exemption. The exception here is the personality leading the government negotiation team.
“The current leadership of the government team clearly lacks the academic disposition and humility needed to undertake such task.
“Our members enjoy their work and hate to see any disruption in the smooth running of our universities. However, the level of frustration occasioned by the lackadaisical attitude of the government towards meeting the terms of the 2019 Memorandum of Action that was freely signed with our union is increasingly becoming unbearable.
“We, therefore, call on all Nigerian patriots, parents and students including the Nigeria

After 2019 JAMB UTME, What's Next? Here's What Every Candidate Should Do
We can say that the 2019 JAMB UTME has officially been concluded. While
some candidates are counting their gains, others are counting their losses.
Which ever category you fall in, it is important to know that a high JAMB
score is not an automatic ticket to higher institution neither does a low
JAMB score automatically disqualify you for admission. We have seen
candidates with high JAMB scores who failed to secure admission into any
institution and had to retake JAMB and we have equally seen candidates with
low JAMB Scores (Less than 200) who gained admission without having to wait
for another JAMB. Please read more about this important piece at this link;

When you become a step-parent, you normally end up wondering whether to begin acting as a parent right from the start or go for the wait-and-see approach. Well, there is no one right way to being a step-parent and your desired approach might just yield. With time, you will find a way of step-parenting that will suit you and your family. Before then, here are some rules to help you wade the rough waters of step-parenting:
1. Never impose yourself on the kids, demand to be called mum or dad
Mum and dad are tags reserved for real parenting. That’s the bitter truth. You just entered their lives, they need to feel comfortable with you and the new family created by your arrival. It is up to the kids to decide when and whether to start calling you mum or dad. If it works for you, they will, and if they don’t, well, that’s just it. Let them take their time even if it never comes completely.
The easiest way to go through it is to have no expectation to be called mum or dad.
2. Expect resentment
Your step-children are likely to blame you for their parents’ separation. If you are settling with a single-parent, the kids will probably feel insecure that you are coming in to rival them for their only parent’s love and attention. You need to understand the children. Get to know how they have been dealing with the absence of one of their parents. This way, you will likely develop adequate patience to handle them.
3. The ex-spouse is out of bounds
You must never engage the ex-spouse directly, at least until you guys have developed some proper middle ground. Let things that involve the ex-spouse to be dealt with by your spouse. This is the surest way to ensure you don’t end up in conflicts and misunderstandings from now and then.
4. Respect the ex-spouse’s parenting
An ex-spouse is not an ex-parent. You must respect their rules and decisions concerning their children. This is not the place to be a cool mum or dad by helping the kids go against the rigid rules set by their parent(s). You must accept that the ex-spouses have a say in their children’s lives and that will never change.
5. No negative talks about the ex-spouse in front of the children
You don’t want to be resented by the kids. Keep off negative talks about their said parent regardless of what they did. He or she is, and will always be, a parent to the kids and they have feelings for them. You have to respect that.
You must strive to do whatever it takes to ensure you don’t create any rift between you and the kids. That’s the guaranteed way to make it work.

At a family reunion. Because she was his cousin."
2. "I was chatting to a hot guy at a party... We were talking about our heritage and he told me that his family was Peruvian. Without skipping a beat, I said, 'Where's Peruvia?' For the record, I absolutely know where Peru is and that there is no such place as Peruvia. It was one of those moments when, as the words were coming out, I was already trying to put them back in."
.
3. "A few years ago, I was walking down the street when I happened to exchange glances with a rather beautiful man. He smiled at me, so I smiled back. As he got closer to me, he looked at me again and said in a very friendly tone, 'Hi! How are you?' So I replied, 'I'm fine, thanks, and you?'... And that's when I noticed the Bluetooth earpiece."
4. "I was having a bad day at work a few weeks before Christmas and decided to escape to an Italian eatery nearby... While I was waiting for the really handsome waiter to take me to my seat, I decided to lean against the wall and do my best to look as hot and casually disinterested as I could. In doing so, I knocked over a Christmas tree near the entrance of the restaurant... The tree also happened to be connected to a garland that ran around the entire restaurant. The garland slowly started to disconnect from the wall and, like some hellish Christmas slinky-dominoes fusion, it fell down around the entire restaurant while the server and I stared at each other. I decided to get a glass of wine with lunch."
5. "When my boyfriend and I first started dating, we were making out and I tried doing this sexy leg kick. I ended up kicking him in the face and gave him a bloody nose."
6. "I met a guy on a night out and as I was leaving, I awkwardly hugged him just as he went in for a kiss. He said he liked awkward, and I replied, 'If you like awkward, you're gonna love me!' I then turned around and slipped down the set of stairs outside his house. It was our 3-year anniversary in July."
7. "I met my neighbour one night when our building's electricity went out. We spent the entire night talking and flirting, and eventually it became very late and both of us needed to go to bed for work in the morning. He hugged me and I said, 'Well, if you ever want to hang out, just come knock on my window or whatever...', like some idiot with no concept of dating. He looked at me like I had five heads, but was somehow still interested enough to ask for my number. That man is now my husband."
8. "I was on a retreat with my church group, and it was a six-hour drive to get there, so we stopped at Wendy's and I got a Frosty. I was sitting in the back of the van, and this guy was sitting in the seat in front of me when he turned around to talk to me. He said something that I thought was funny and I spit my Frosty ALL OVER HIS FACE."

Bitcoin: Would you want to get paid in cryptocurrency?
So how would you feel about getting paid in the high profile cryptocurrency?
From early next year, staff at Japanese internet firm GMO Group will be among the latest to find out how that feels.
More than 4,000 employees are being given the option to receive a portion of their salary in Bitcoin.
Critics say it is a marketing stunt, announced at a time when global interest in the financial technology has never been higher.
It also carries risks: the volatile currency slumped last week but has since rebounded by more than 50%.
But what will it really mean for employer and employee?
How does it work?
Bitcoin salaries are usually paid according to the digital currency's value at an agreed date and time.
To keep the numbers simple, if the Bitcoin price was $10,000 and an employee opted to have $1,000 in the digital currency, they would receive 0.1 Bitcoin.
Employees who choose to sell right away would receive the same in cash as they would have been paid (so long as they had arranged for the sale to happen in advance).
But holding onto the cryptocurrency, be it for a day, a week or a year, would see its value go up or go down. That $1,000 may end up being worth $5,000. Or potentially next to nothing.
And so some argue that paying wages in Bitcoin effectively encourages people to gamble.
"If an employee is receiving their salary in Bitcoin, they might as well be receiving lottery tickets", said Massimo Massa, professor of finance at INSEAD.
"They are just participating in a game."
Staff must be made aware that "there's no guarantee that its price will rise and there's no intrinsic value because there's nothing to back it up", he said, adding such schemes could never be compulsory.
Should we care about the price of Bitcoin?
Is Asia driving the Bitcoin craze?
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin - risky bubble or the future?
So are employees keen?
Despite repeated warnings from renowned economists and analysts that a Bitcoin crash is looming , it seems more of us are willing to take a punt.
Bitwage, a platform set up to convert salaries into cryptocurrency, gained thousands of new users this year as people got swept up in some rapid price rises .
"These days a lot of people are looking to get part, and sometimes all of their salary paid in Bitcoin", said Bitwage founder Jonathan Chester.
The company has this year processed $30m in wages for 20,000 users in the US, Europe, Latin America and Asia including staff from Google, Facebook, GE, Philips, the United Nations and the US Navy. Many of these workers had signed up for the service on their own.
Mr Chester said he converts 15% of his own monthly salary and believes it is "a way of accumulating Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies without worrying about whether you're buying at the right time".
That is because people can theoretically reduce the risks of volatility because they "only buy little bits over time".
And what about tax?
It is a tricky one to generalise, and it seems inevitable that as the industry develops, so too will the tax rules.
Wherever they are in the world, employees will usually be liable for income tax due on their Bitcoin wages, calculated on its value at the time the salary is paid.
But just like with stock options, employees may need to pay capital gains tax if their Bitcoin has risen in value, depending on the tax jurisdiction.
What is in it for employers?
Some companies working in the cryptocurrency industry have been offering Bitcoin salaries for years.
After all, if you got in early and bought when the price was much lower, then it could be a smart move to use it now to pay wages.
But for others it is all about business strategy.
Japan's GMO, for example, says it wants to get staff thinking about cryptocurrencies.
It has recently expanded into cryptocurrency trading and crypto mining.
And so it hopes that if at least some employees have direct personal experience of Bitcoin, it will help with "nurturing and developing cryptocurrency literacy".
And that, it says is "vital to the growth and expansion of our cryptocurrency business".
Is Bitcoin the only option?
The digital payment industry is expanding, with new digital currencies emerging all the time.
At the Singapore based blockchain company TenX, staff usually have their base salary paid into their bank accounts, but their monthly bonus is paid in Pay tokens, the firm's own digital currency.
The tokens, which can be traded on digital exchanges, were issued in an initial coin offering in June, allowing the company to raise $80m.
TenX co-founder and president, Julian Hosp, said it did not make sense to buy Bitcoin to pay bonuses when the company already had its own currency.
Paying bonuses in tokens can incentivises staff as Pay's value should rise in line with the company's success, Mr Hosp added.
TenX community manager, Mike Ferrer, has gone further and opted to receive part of his base salary in Pay, on top of his monthly bonus.
The 32-year-old has been investing in cryptocurrencies for some time, and accepts that there are huge risks, but says he only invests what he can afford.
"I visualise myself throwing in a pile of money and watching it burn in front of me, and if I can't feel comfortable with that then I know I've over invested", Mr Ferrer said.

EFCC arrests musician Naira Marley
Nigerian singer, Afeez Fashola, better known as Naira Marley has reportedly been arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
According to reports from Premium Times, the upcoming singer is already being interrogated by the EFCC.
The main reason for his arrest is still unknown but it might not be unrelated with the singer's recent comments endorsing cyber crime popularly called Yahoo Yahoo.
The Issa Goal singer has somewhat become an advocate for cyber crime as he even bashed other celebs who tried to go against his views.
It all started when popular singer, Simi, discouraged Yahoo boys from listening to her music. Then Marley took it upon himself to call the singer out as well as praise Yahoo boys.
On one of his Instalive videos, the Issa Goal singer urged Nigerians to pray for Yahoo boys because they make money circulate and not the politicians.
He said: “All you guys, all the money in your pockets, all the money you spend, you think it’s the government that is making the money go round? You better sit down and pray for yahoo boys. If them stop yahoo, the money would not pass you guys.
"The money will go like this, from Obasanjo to Tinubu, from Tinubu to Mr Japa, you think me I need Yahoo? I make money from my music.”

NUT to JAMB: Release Results of Innocent Candidates
Adedoyin said that the level of malpractice in the conduct of the 2019 UTME was as a result of the societal problems confronting the country, which included corruption, and requested that JAMB release the results of candidates who wrote the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) and were found to be innocent.
“The delay in releasing the results is going to affect the innocent students negatively.
“Those that did not cheat during the examinations should not be punished for the offences they did not commit.
“By the time JAMB will ask them to come and re-write the examination, they may not perform better as they did earlier,” he said.
The NUT chairman alleged that those who supervised and those who conducted the examinations were part of the problem. He also wondered why they could not apprehend those who cheated while the examinations were ongoing then. According to him, malpractice cannot be done without any inducement.
Adedoyin also faulted JAMB’s policy and guidelines which stated that if the number of candidates that cheated in an examination was more than the number of candidates that failed, then the examination should be cancelled.
He also condemned the policy that stated that another examination should be conducted in such a centre. He said that such a policy was anti-people and should be abolished.
Adedoyin said that if those found wanting would be allowed to rewrite the examinations, then the results of candidates who were innocent should be released.
The NUT chairman said that the adoption of Computer Based Testing (CBT) mode by JAMB which was introduced with the aim of reducing examination malpractices appeared to be failing and not so effective. He said that meant that the examinations conducted using CBT were flawed in validity and reliability.
“If there was cheating as being alleged in the last UTME examination that adopted the CBT mode, despite the cameras and the software JAMB installed, then people will gradually be losing confidence in its efficiency,” he said.

Glow Up| 5 Secrets To Having A Beautiful Skin
The quest for perfect skin is not an easy ride. From applying the perfect lotion on your body to taking in the right substance can be a little bit stressful.
However, the key to your beauty does not only start from the outer shell but rather it makes its way out from the inside.
How do you achieve that smooth flawless skin?
It is easy, all you have to do is follow this definitive guide and your skin will thank you.
1. Eat Clean
Man can not live by bread alone, and your body needs adequate nutrients to feel nourished.
Focus on foods that nourish and fuel natural radiance. Fruit and vegetables give the skin-loving vitamins and minerals that keep it glowing.
However, you don't have to panic, as fruits and vegetables are not the only Beauty tools, essential fats such as omega 3 are vital for a smooth, supple and youthful complexion.
Bear in mind that takin in the wrong food can cause breakout, lines and will reduce your glow. These foods include sugar, refined carbohydrates, too much wheat, caffeine and dairy.
Portion your food well and make sure a larger percentage takes fruits and vegetable. Remember, you are what you eat.
2. Get your Zzz’s
If you don’t get that sleep you deserve, who will?
Your work can be demanding to the extent you forget the word 'sleep'. It is good to work, but you need that beauty sleep.
When you’re sleep-deprived, your body makes more of the stress hormone cortisol. Elevated levels of cortisol can lead to increased stress and inflammation in the body, hurting your skin’s quality.
As we sleep our body undergoes processes of repair and rejuvenation which will visibly lift and enhance the complexion to preserve youthful clarity.
Everyone is meant to at least have 7-8 hours of sleep, now you better get up that couch, and get some zzz’s
3. Drink up
Everyone will not agree that water consumption will improve skin, but it certainly can't hurt.
Reports have shown that the increase in water intake makes the skin have a more radiant glow. When your body is dehydrated, it will sap moisture from your skin cells to hydrate the vital organs, which causes dry skin and lines.
However, drinking water frequently gives you well hydrated and smooth skin. It is also important to drink water first thing in the morning.
Give your self a challenge and start with drinking up to 3 litres of water a day, approximately more than 8 glasses of water a day.
4. Protect your skin
The sun is not smiling these days, and neither is your skin. The sun is the skins worse enemy, as every shade and colour gets affected by the sun.
It is very important you protect your skin. Sunscreen, hats and sunglasses are all vital accessories for protecting against premature ageing, dull dry patches, and cancerous cell development.
5. Keep it clean
Be gentle on your skin, don't over cleanse your skin, as you may risk reducing it of moisture. Make sure you use the right products.
Keep your skin nourished and moisturized. It is also advisable to use natural products.
There you have it, the ticket to having a flawless skin. Eat, sleep and treat your skin, remember you have to invest in your skin, as it's going to represent you for a long time.
