The World As I See It: An Essay by Einstein
"How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he sometimes thinks he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people -- first of all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness is wholly dependent, and then for the many, unknown to us, to whose destinies we are bound by the ties of sympathy. A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving..."

7 SPENDING TIPS FOR XMAS AND NEW YEAR
7 SPENDING TIPS FOR XMAS AND NEW YEAR
I welcome friends and fans to this festive period. Xmas is the most celebrated festival in the world no doubt. As the period witnesses hustling and bustling of people, so businesses witness great turnaround. The excitement and the spirit usually call for celebration, socialisation and luxury.
However, looking backward after Xmas and New Year is usually accompanied with mixed reactions ( sober reflection, dissonance, regrets etc) of decisions made, exuberances enjoyed and luxuries gained. This time I will be writing more on how to avoid unnecessary spending prior to the festive period and during the period too.
TIPS
* Make your buys weeks before the Xmas and New Year or buy after the festive period. Things are usually expensive in the period.
* Always make bulk purchase if you can. It's usually cheap when you buy in bulk.
* Don't forget to ask for discount for every purchase. There are different types of them ranging from cash discount to bulk discount.
* Buy clearance sales, promotional sales, bonanza sales etc. Though they may be cheap, they are durable.
* Spend wisely on quality products. They outlast far more than cheap but inferior products.
* Avoid Xmas Rush. Xmas rush are new arrivals, vogue and glittering things. Though beautiful, they don't worth their price.
* Above all, make a good priority of of your need. Be diligent with your list. If not, you spend unwisely. You'll still need to come back to your list.
Good Luck and Happy Festival!

HOW SECURE ARE YOU?
PASSWORD:HOW SECURE ARE YOU?
I have heard many people saying “my password is one of my daughter’s birth date” or “ I always use the same password for everything I do cause I can’t afford to forget them”. If this is how far you can hide your password then you’re like a child playing hide and seek by just covering his face with his hands. Then how secure is your "easy-to-crack" password? I think I need to tell you what a password is.
Password is a key. It is like a magic key to a secret vault containing millions of gold that voyagers have been on the look-out for centuries. The key can be conjured to appear and disappear. Fortunately, this key is in your hands for keep. The secret name you give to it commands its potency to open the secret vault. Given this illustration;
1. Would you give this key your daughter’s name or your birth date?
2. Would you write the name in your wallet or keep it under your pillow so that you don't forget it?
3. Would you tell everybody (including your friends and family members) about the key and the lovely name you just gave to your secret key?
If your answers to the three questions above is in the affirmative, then you’re among those I called ROOKIES. You’re a novice because you are highly susceptible to fraud and information leakages.
10 Rules Guiding a Password
The simple lesson from the above illustration is that you are the only person that suppose to know your password particularly if you’re into online business.
i. Keep your password on your head only*
ii. Never write it anywhere
iii. Do not use date of birth or a name that can easily be arrived at.
iv. If at all you would need to write your password, better write the clue
v. Make the clue understandable to you
vi. Don’t use keyboard pattern e.g qwerty or sequence like 13579
vii. If you have on screen keyboard option, use it instead of your normal keyboard
viii. As you will not send somebody to urinate for you, never give your password to anybody to access information for you
ix. Change your password as often as you can
x. Never forget your password. To get it back might be costly if at all you’re able
How to arrive at a secure password
• Create a unique acronym
• The longer the password, the more difficult the hacking permutation becomes
• No matter how short you want it, keep the characters above 8 units
• Use combinations of alphabets and numbers when allowed
• Do not use a dictionary word
• Do not use a slang, slogan, or common saying
• Include punctuation marks (.’;/.) and/or special characters (#@!$%*+_) when allowed
• Mix upper and lower case alphabets to arrive at a strong password e.g password
• You may include space
• You can try password generator. Though the one generated through this means are usually strong but difficult to remember.
• Always log out when you finished
You don’t want to forget your password?
The safest place to keep your password is in your brain. There is a common saying that “the faintest ink is better than the sharpest brain”; yet it is not safe to write down your password. However, you can try a PASSWORD SAFE to keep hard-to-remember passwords. The one I would recommend is Bruce Scheiner password safe. If you don’t know, password safe is a tool that allows you to have a different password for all programmes and websites that run on your computer without having to remember any. Password safe runs on PCs under Windows (95/98/NT/2000/XP). You can find one here: http//password safe.source.forge.net

Welcome
I want to welcome you to my world. I do hope you'll find this site interesting and helpful too. In this article (which is going to be very short), I will be exposing some of my interest areas and people that I hope will benefit from my blog.
Getting started is usually difficult in life. It has always been and it will definitely continue to be. It takes consciousness to begin but when action takes off, it becomes easier and easier just like a child learning to walk. Professionals also attest to this fact. Hence, where and how do you start? It usually begins 'small'. That is from the very first leap. I mean from the minimum requirements needed to begin.
THE BIG QUESTIONS
Who am I?
What are my interests?
Do I really need to do this?
These three questions should be answered definitely before you would be able to find momentum in any endeavour.
WHO AM I?
Answering these question, WHO AM I, will surely define what you are cut for. That is your interest areas.
WHAT ARE MY INTEREST
These are some of business interests you’ll find on this blog whenever you come around

DO I REALLY WANT TO DO THIS
Whether you answer this question in the affirmative or otherwise, you really need income if not Multiple Stream Income. This is a stage at which so many militating factors set in. Nothing will force you to attempt it but the driving force behind your ambition. For example:
I want to diversify into other areas
I want to make more income
Socialization may be your driving force
Helping others
Fun
Etc
At this juncture, I will want to submit that the perfect driving force for any undertaking is interest. Interest you have in a particular thing would encourage you even when the way becomes tortuous. My advice is that whatever you want to start you need to develop yourself. Learn, acquire knowledge and never cease from being inquisitive.
