Successful relationships don’t just come together haphazardly. They take effort from both people involved to continue building upon the foundation on which the relationship began. Too often, life gets in the way, and many of the little things fall through the cracks. Because of this, it’s important to remember that a relationship should be one of the most meaningful aspects of a person’s life, and it’s worth every ounce of energy you put into it. Here are a few small things that can make a big difference in your relationship.
1. Give long embraces Emo band Saves the Day once said “nothing’s like being held sometimes.” While I’d advise you to take caution when taking advice from an emo band, you should definitely hold onto this one. After a long day’s work, there really isn’t much better than spending a few minutes wrapped in each other’s arms. It allows you to forget the outside world, if only for a few moments, and remember why you both work so hard in the first place. 2. Leave little reminders around for them to find I don’t think there’s much else that makes me smile more than seeing a little note from my wife attached to my windshield when getting in my car in the morning. The little things that let your significant other know that you’re thinking of them can completely turn their day around. Even texting a picture of something that reminded you of them is enough. Everyone loves to feel important; show the person you love the most just how important they are every chance you get.
3. Show gratitude for everything they do for you You undoubtedly appreciate your significant other very much. But do you show it all the time? Don’t just show your thankfulness around birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. Make it a point to thank them every day for even the tiniest of favors. Whenever they do something for you, they’re allowing you to relax just a little longer. Thank them for it. It shows you don’t take them for granted, and you acknowledge just how much they mean to you. 4. Make their life easier whenever you can On the flip side of the last point, you should do everything you can to make their life easier. Even if that means stopping at the store at the end of a long day or running back out if they forgot to grab something. Clean the house or have dinner ready on the table when they get home. Keep in mind everything they’ve given you, tangible and intangible, as a reminder for when you don’t “feel like” doing something, and do it anyway, knowing it will ease their troubles a little more. 5. Take a break from busyness for them We all lead busy lives. But you should never be so busy that you don’t have time to spend with your significant other. Otherwise, what’s the point of working so hard? I’m not saying you should completely blow off your responsibilities to spend time with your significant other, but definitely recognize when you’ve spent way too much time on work-related obligations and hit the pause button. Sometimes, you just need to put everything else on the back burner and enjoy some quality time with your love.
6.
Tell them why you love them You probably tell one another you love each other all the time. Obviously, there’s nothing wrong with that. But take it a step further: tell them whyyou love them. Make them understand exactly what it is that keeps you tied to them. Put some thought into it, too. You’ll likely end up finding even more reasons to love them than you had realized in the first place.

6 Qualities All Highly Successful People Have In Common
There are those successful people out there who have it made. They catch break after break and seem to just have all the four leaf clovers of the world in their pockets. But we know that it’s more than just luck on their side. We’ve found six consistent traits of phenomenally successful people and know that if you strive to match yourself to these that you too can become successful.
1. They Are Passionate
This might be a no-brainer trait but it might also be the foundation to a successful individual. Those who succeed love deeply what they do. Take a look at almost any athlete out there, they are passionate about what they do and almost always do it for the love of the gam. People like Tiger Woods knew at a young age what they loved and then made a life out of it. If you don’t know if you’re truly passionate about something just ask yourself if you would do it for free. If you would, then you’ve found your passion.
2. They Are Resilient
To be resilient is to face challenges, learn from them, and push through to success. Some of the most successful people in the world have faced the uncanniest struggles and have managed to come out on top. J.K. Rowling was rejected by 12 different publishers before selling the first Harry Potter novel. Successful people recognize each failure in life as a chance to learn something and to grow from it.
3. They Push Themselves Out of Their Comfort Zones
Phenomenally successful people know that they can’t just sit on their hands and hope that the ideas in their heads will some day become a real thing. They have to get up out of their house and begin to get their ideas out there. It’s a matter of getting out of your comfort zone, setting challenges, deadlines, and goals all to push yourself to continue to strive harder, work better, and succeed.
4. They Continually Create
Entrepreneurs like Time Ferris and Evan Williams are successful because they are continually creating. Rather than finish a project and end their careers there, successful people continue to study and create and form new ideas. Evan Williams didn’t just finish when he founded one company. If he had, we wouldn’t have Twitter, Blogger, or Medium. The daily routines of CEOs will show you how dedicated entrepreneurs and successful people are and how even CEOs continue to create and work hard to succeed until the end.
5. They Are Focused
A huge trait for successful people is focus. Not just that they can sit in a room and get the work done, but that they have a specific goal in mind. Successful people can narrow down and focus on the one thing that they know is important. Just look at someone like Walt Disney. His focus was on quality and innovation. For him it wasn’t about making money, it was about lifting the hearts of children and not with chintzy products. Disney even said that “quality will out.” He focused on quality and what did that result in? A phenomenal empire that spans the globe with him being a household name throughout the world.
6. They Continue to Learn and Better Themselves
Current president of Pixar Animation Studios and Walt Disney Animation Studios, Ed Catmull wrote in his book Creativity, Inc. that the best thing to do “when faced with a challenge [is to] get smarter.” Successful people don’t assume that they know everything or that they are the smartest people out there. They continue to learn and better themselves and their craft. Some of the most successful people pick up new hobbies consistently throughout their lives and careers to keep their brains active and to help with creativity.

5 Motivational Tips for Students
5 Motivational Tips for Students
Students who are thrilled to do their homework every single day are rare… if there are any. Everyone needs a motivational push now and then, and you will be surprised what inspiration can do with your opinion about “pointless” homework assignments.
Even if you don’t see the point in doing homework, you still see a point in getting good grades, so read these tips and learn how to become a more motivated student.
1. Change your perspective
You cannot form a foundation for your future knowledge and skills without doing homework, no matter how pointless it seems. Even topics that don’t awaken a single spark of interest are important for your general knowledge and development as a person.
If you don’t like algebra, you may understand its importance when you realize that it’s the foundation for economics, business, science, and many other fields of study. When it comes to English homework, you need to understand that paper writing is an essential skill to gain if you want to be a successful student at college and university.
2. Become an “expert” in one area
There isn’t a student who absolutely loves all subjects. All you need to do is focus a bit more on the area you love and get some serious attitude about it. Maybe you can start a blog associated to the area you love and become a self-appointed expert in it. Research deeper, become more involved and enjoy your devotion to the things that interest you.
However, this shouldn’t drive you away from all other homework you get; in fact, it should help you become more tolerant of the topics that don’t interest you that much. Think of the less favored topics as “supporting bricks” for your career path.
3. Don’t be afraid of competition
You don’t have to tame your competitive spirit. In fact, it can help you be a more diligent student and have fun while doing homework and making better achievements than anyone else in class.
Being competitive doesn’t mean that you have to become the classmate no one likes. You can team up with one or two friends and inspire each other to do better in all subjects. Healthy competition can be a very inspiring motivation, if you know how to approach it.
4. A prize can be motivating
If a big science project is giving you trouble and you can’t even get motivated enough to start it, you should make a plan and divide the entire process into few smaller steps. Take each step and turn it into a goal, having the big picture in front of you at all times.
Make sure to set deadlines for each step and reward yourself with small treats or breaks after every achievement. When you focus on the prize, you will be motivated to do everything right.
5. Get support to get motivated
If you are not getting enough encouragement from your family or friends, that shouldn’t discourage you because it doesn’t mean that no one cares.
Your teacher, for example, surely cares whether or not you do your homework and study well. Teachers are always there to support their students, because their success as educators depends on the achievements of the class.
If you feel like you don’t get enough support in your home or from your friends, you can join an education forum and find the motivation you need. Many people will cheer for you if you are brave enough to cheer for yourself.
Conclusion: Motivation is crucial for your academic success
This is common for all students: they don’t see how the knowledge they gain in the classroom is implementable in the real world, so they see homework as a pointless task with a single aim to cause them stress, consume their free time and exercise their brain cells. If that’s your attitude towards homework, it is completely wrong!
All you need is a different perspective on your studies and you will understand how important they are. When you learn how to motivate yourself, the homework will immediately become important and meaningful in your eyes.

8 Ways to Make Yourself Profoundly Influential
Influence is one of the most powerful tools that you can use to impact your personal and professional life.
Unfortunately, we are not born with the natural tendency to be influential. It’s a craft that is nurtured until mastered. Sadly, the mastery of influence is shrouded in limiting beliefs, and battled by resistance that others will impose.
I know this battle well. The struggle to affect your personal life as well as your professional life is difficult. There is no right path to take; you must simply take the path. But, more importantly, you must do the work.
To drastically increase your influence, do the following:
1. Ask a Beautiful Question
As an influencer, it’s our fiduciary duty to listen. But before we begin listening, we must approach each encounter as a student and ask what Warren Berger, author of A More Beautiful Question, calls “the beautiful question”.
A question of this caliber opens the mind to richer discourse. It forces others to pause and allow the question to marinate and percolate. As the question simmers, each degree of adjustment brings about a cadre of hunches, impressions, and fragile new ideas.
As an influencer, here are a few beautiful questions to ask:
What does not fit?
What would an outsider do?
Do I understand why we do it this way?
What might be the long-term consequences?
2. Create a plan to be a good listener
As an influencer, you must spend the better part of your energy listening. This might sound counter-intuitive, but the most effective strategy to get people’s attention is for you to give them your attention.
“Listen. It makes you smarter.”
— Richard Branson
When you are genuinely listening to someone, when you are giving them your undivided attention, when you can summarize their conversation, when you can ask a beautiful question — you are demonstrating open-mindedness and respect.
3. Welcome disagreements
As influencers, we expect a healthy chorus of disagreement. I would even say that as an influencer it’s your responsibility to create an environment of disagreement. Why, it’s a healthy sign of critical thinking. Where ideas are being challenged, not for malicious intent, but in an effort to test the ideas’ viability.
4. Focus only on what really matters
As an influencer, your energy is limited. Therefore, it’s imperative that you focus that finite energy on projects where you can make the greatest contribution. There are a number of strategies you can adopt, but here are five that work for me:
Develop a clear “why” — this keeps you anchored to what really matters
Do it — because you are the only one who can
Delegate — often you will not be the best one to do the work
Defer — sometimes things are not actionable now
Weekly review — because you need to check where you are spending your energy
5. Build a plan for being proactive
As an influencer, you do not wait for a situation to find you. You must build a funnel to remain proactive:
Ask questions
Listen
Encourage disagreements
Focus on what matters
Proactive people focus their efforts in the Circle of Influence. They work on the things they can do something about. The nature of their energy is positive, enlarging and magnifying, causing their Circle of Influence to increase.
— Steven Covey
6. Set a powerful vision
As an influencer, vision is critically important. You must develop a vision statement that is compelling. If your vision statement does not excite you, how will you ever influence others? You must give yourself permission to envision the perfect future, by answering these two questions:
What do I want to see happen?
What would “it” look like in three years?
Once you are clear on your vision and the things you want, the how generally takes care of itself.
7. Use your influence to bring out the best in others
As an influencer, your responsibility is not to be the smartest person in the room. Your only responsibility is to foster a culture of intelligence — to multiply the intelligence among your team members.
Early in a task, team members should discuss the knowledge each brings to the table. That changes the criterion for power from social influence to informational influence.
– Bryan L. Bonner and Alexander R. Bolinger
8. Increase your value through education
As an influencer, you must increase your value by thinking of yourself as a product, and upgrade yourself every year. You must see yourself as a competitive product with benefits, and liabilities, all waiting to be improved.
A good strategy for upgrading yourself is to ask, “What skills will give me more freedom in the future?” Once you have identified these, dedicate time to mastering them. And by mastery, I mean knowing the skill so well that you are positioned to help someone else solve their problems.
Final thoughts
So there you have it. My suggested list of characteristics that will make an amazing influencer. Which one are you going to start with first? My personal favorite is number eight.
My hopes are that you choose to become an influencer, because your professional and personal life will thank you for the dedication.

4 Ways Of Making Money Online With Smartphones
1. Blogging
Blogging is one of the sure paths to making real wealth from the internment. I use the word “wealth” because blogging can bring you great riches. The two major blogging platforms available at the moment are; wordpress and blogspot. You can download the android application for both from the Google Play Store. I have used both on my smart phone and with a few trick; you can get almost all your blogging jobs done over the two mobile applications.
Blogging has become harder to monetize with the popular Google Adsense and if you are playing for it, I will advise you to get ready for a hard journey ahead. You can check back for my article on how I blog using my android smart phone alone.
2. Android Application Development
Most people are not aware that they can quickly and easily build a simple Android application. They usually felt it takes rocket science to build an application for their Android smart phone. You can build a website based application in less than 2 hours. I build the GSMGist Android application in less than one hour “ you can download it here”. Or build one from Appsgeyser if you have a website or a blog too. You can make money by placing your finished application of Google Play Store, Amazon App Store or even on the Appsgeyser market. You can sell you application or make money by running advertisement on the application using Admob or any other mobile ad services.
3. Freelance Jobs
This is the most popular means of making money from the internet. A lot of websites make available jobs you can do to earn a token into your account. The jobs come in various forms like filling a form, registering on a website, writing an article or even interpreting website content into another language. A good and reliable example is microworker but you can check online for other sites. Payments are mostly small but when accumulated for a period, it becomes something of significance. You can collect your earnings through popular online payment platforms. Apart from having mobile sites, which you can access on your smartphones, you can access the standard website using a very good mobile browser on your smart phone.
4. Social Media Promotion
You sometimes wonder why somebody you know is building up his number of friends on Facebook or doing everything to increase his followers on twitter. It is mostly based on the desire to engage in social media promotions. A lot of media organizations are ready to pay you to use your social media accounts to send out their messages. Like an endorsement, you promote their products and services to
the general public using your accounts. The scheme is mostly common to Twitter and Facebook accounts. This is another easy task you can undertake using your smart phone alone and you will be paid well for doing a good job.
Warning and tips: I need to warn you that not all the websites or companies offering jobs can be trusted. Some will always find a way of cheating you and they might avoid payment altogether. Before you sign up with any organization, kindly read other people reviews of the organization performance.
10 Ways to Make Millions Like Linda Ikeji From Blogging
News reached us that Linda Ikjei Bought a house for about 500 million Naira, via blogging. How can you get enough traffic to the same.
Getting traffic for your blog is a challenging task, especially if your blog is a new one, unless you’re prepared to spend money on advertisement.
Knowing that you’re the only reader of your blog is somehow heartbreaking and makes you wanna give up. The truth is that, you can never make a dime from a blog without traffic. But before you think of giving up, there are actually ways you can get traffic on your blog for free. Yes free! And legally of course.
In this post, I’ll be showing you 10 free ways to get more traffic to your blog. Read on
1. Site optimization
Traffic from search engines are the best. If done properly, site optimization will work wonder on your blog. Though optimizing your blog for search engines is one of the hardest method of getting free traffic, but making use of plugins like WordPress SEO by Yoast (only WordPress users). That’s one of the advantages of using WordPress for blogging.
2. Fresh and valuable contents
According to Google, “keep it fresh and relevant”. People will check back on your blog if they enjoy your posts to see if you published a new post. That is why you must always update your blog. If they frequently check your, but the last post is still the same, they may never come back again. To make this system work for you, you should regularly give your readers interesting and valuable content.
3. Free Product or service offering
People love free stuff. You can give out free eBooks or host a giveaway. This has been one of the effective ways to get free traffic. It will bring you loyal visitors and increase your traffic if you do it regularly. If you are offering a free eBook, it must be related to your niche else it won’t work,
4. Posting on Forums
Most forums allow signature, if you know what I mean. You can use this to your advantage by placing a link back to your blog. With this style you can build a big list of followings because if you solve one or the query on the web people have a tendency to click on the URL in your signature to know more about you and hence can know about your website and start following you. Almost all blog owners on NairaLand use this method.
5. Guest posting on high traffic blogs
If you give one of the best content to others it can make your website rank go up as it not only drives traffic towards your website but also establishes you as a serious folk in Blogging arena. Make sure you target a high ranking blog with massive traffic in your niche.
6. Responsiveness
Your blog should be mobile friendly to give easy access to mobile users. The web is going mobile. More and more people browse the web with their phone. If your blog is not responsive, you are sending visitors and your prospective customers away.
7. Social Media
If all you do with Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and the likes is chatting and viewing pictures, then you’re wasting your time. Or you only use YouTube for watching and downloading videos, it will never benefit you. Make good use of your time today and start promoting your blog on social media.
8. Commenting on other blogs
Find popular blogs in your niche and post relevant and helpful comments on the posts. But instead of linking your name to your blog’s homepage, link to your post on related content. This way when they click through, they are immediately on a highly relevant page that they are interested in. And because they read your comment, which was useful and unique, they already think of you as an authority.
9. Respond to comments of your posts
Person who is writing a comment on your website is spending some time with your website and hence is sharing experience appreciate people for thoughts and do comment back also you can visit their websites and mark few comments. Be honest while responding on your website or writing comment on others website to make sure you are not ending up on people’s spams.
10. Link to other blogs
Link to other bloggers in your post. That’s really all there is to it. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is never linking out. Link out to others in your posts and they will take notice of you, most of them will tweet about your post at the very least. Some of them will even link back to you. This is a easy and free way to get traffic. Just don’t forget about your readers and make sure that the links are relevant.

5 ways to stop a Child from Becoming Spoiled
These kinds of children will have a lot of difficulties with adulthood as they will believe the world should revolve around them, and when they do not get what they want, they end up acting out, making them unlikely to be useful members of the society. No one wants to parent such a child, but with the right tips and tricks, you should be able to bring up a well-grounded and disciplined child. Your child(ren) will thank you for it.
Set Rules: No home or part of a society can exist without rules. Rules are made to keep you disciplined and grounded. They are supposed to help those around you as well as yourself. One of the first things a child will be introduced to in terms of discipline, is rules. We tell toddlers not to hit, bite, etc. We teach our little kids to say “please” and “thank you”. These are rules to prepare them for the bigger rules the society has. So make sure you make rules specific to your homes and begin to enforce them as early as you can. Long before they can talk, children are learning what is acceptable and what is not, so never assume they are too young to be trained.
Give Them Responsibilities: It is important to imbibe the spirit of responsibility in children as early as possible. Even as young as age 2, give your children something in the house that they are solely responsible for, for example, have them pick up their toys at the end of the day. You supervise them if needed, but make sure they do the work. Do not have someone else do it unless it is needed. As they grow older, make sure they have responsibilities and make it clear that no one else will do it if they do not. Even if you have help, make sure your child(ren)’s responsibilities always remain theirs. It teaches them that every member of the society is responsible for certain things and they should never expect someone else to take over their responsibilities from them.

Be Consistent: Children learn better through consistency. Do not punish them for something today and ignore the same offence the next day because you are busy, or because you are outside of the home. They need to understand that rules are rules, wherever and whenever. You will only cause them to be confused if you are not consistent with what you consider is punishable. We all know how the society works, you will always face consequences, regardless of how many times you do something. So, prepare your children for the future by making sure they know this now.
Make Them Understand Consequences: No child should be brought up without understanding that every single action brings about consequences. Good action means good results and bad behaviour means bad consequences. Make them understand this simple life rule as it will certainly protect them in future.
Tell Them Where They Went Wrong: A lot of parents are so focused on the punishing that they forget that sometimes, children do not understand where they went wrong. After punishing your children, make sure you have a talk with them and let them know why you had to punish them. They are more likely to remember your words than the punishment they received. If, for instance, you punish your little child for going near fire. You need to explain to him/her that you only did this so they know that fire hurts people and you love them too much to want them hurt. This is also away to reestablish your bond, since there is a likelihood that your child might feel resentful after being punished. It reminds them that you love them and all you do is for their own good.

A lot of people have different philosophies related to living and studying abroad. They believe that living abroad brings in freedom to do whatever you want. It is almost as if they feel they are the children who have the liberty of going on about anything anywhere. People often confuse studying abroad with the idea of vacations. It must be noted that living abroad to study and going for a vacation for a few days are two completely different scenarios and experiences.
When you are on a vacation, you do not have to assume and be responsible for so many things compared to studying abroad at an institution. The idea of studying abroad means a lot of commitment, life changing journey and financial stress alongside other challenges that you will face as you land there and start your academic journey.
