The Essence of Christmas

Is Christmas Really Being Celebrated the Way It Should be Done?

Christmas day is a day fixed & set aside to commemorate the birth of Christ 2000 years ago by people all over the world but today it's being practice wrongly.


Why did Christ Come into the World in the First Place?

Christ came into the world to redeem Mankind out of the shackles of sin, satan & evil. Adam & Evil had embraced sin in the garden of Eden & as a result mankind being their offspring's was doomed for destruction according to the law made by God. Even though man was God's friend,God is an impartial judge that does not respect any-one but due to the love which he had for man he decided to make a way of escape..

The only way man could escape was for a sinless substitute to take man's punishment upon himself. The only qualified substitute who was willing to take man's place was Jesus & as a result Christ was born 2000 years ago for the redemption of man from sin, satan & evil.

What Should be our Attitude During the Christmas Period?  

The Christmas period should be a period whereby Christians indulged in sober reflection appreciating the sacrifice of Jesus the more, worshiping, praising , honoring him rather than engaging in frivolities & vices such as:


  • eating & drinking.
  • getting drunk.
  • going high on drugs.
  • illegal sex
  • beach parties
  • clubbing
  • smoking
  • gluttony
  • buying clothes & shoes
  • attending shows
  • unnecessary expenses
           

So this Christmas period spend more time in God's presence. If you have not yet receive Christ into your life, Celebrate this Christmas by receiving him into your life so that the essence of Christmas will actually be fulfilled in your life.

The Very Thing Which Jose Mourinho Feared Greatly Has Befallen Him

By Samuel Aniekan Udoh a.k.a De-Prof



Jose Mourinho was a name that was equivalent to trophies, titles & success. In other words hired Jose & you are guaranteed trophies, titles & success. Mourinho is a serial winner. He had a Midas touch as any-thing he touched turned into gold. By the age of 50 he had became the first coach to have won a Grand-Slam of league titles in England, Italy & Spain. He has won a total of 8 league titles in 4 countries, 2 UEFA champions league league with FC Porto & Inter-Milan, 4 FA cups in Portugal, England, Italy & Spain.



He's won a total of 6 trophies in Portugal, 8 trophies at Chelsea, 5 trophies at Inter-Milan & 3 at Real-Madrid for a combined total of 22 trophies. Some of this trophies were won in style. For instance;

  •  He ended a 50 year wait for a top-flight domestic title by winning the premier league for Chelsea in 2015. 
  • He won the UEFA champions league for Inter-Milan in 2010 after more than 40 years of waiting.  
  • He ended Barcelona's stranglehold on La-Liga by winning the title in 2012 for Real-Madrid.
  • He's won 10 finals out of 12 his teams played in.
He once declared that he could die of starvation due to a lack of titles because he needed to feed himself with titles. He did not lose a single home league game between the time he coached Porto, Chelsea in his first spell & Inter-Milan. He won his first 77 home league games at Chelsea .He has won a host of individual award & the best was when he was named the FIFA Coach of the Year in 2010.




He had a really big appetite for winning matches & he had a weakness which was dealing with defeat or failure. He could not cope with nor tolerate failure & as a result he could not stand those who were not as successful as himself. just like Okonkwo the major character in "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe. He regularly took swipes at Arsene Wenger, Claudio Raneri, Rafael Benitez & Mancini who were not as successful as himself, It even got to a point where he labelled Wenger a Specialist in Failure.



 Even though he predicted that a day will come when the bad results will roll in but I believe he dreaded such a day & never envisaged that such a day will ever become reality neither did he believe that it will get to a point where just a season after lifting the the BPL title he would be sitting just one point above the relegation zone after his team's ninth defeat in the opening 16 games of their premier league defense which culminated in his sack.

All his strong points & strengths deserted him. According to Oliver Hart of the Daily Mail " Mourinho was the ultimate motivator". He was a man who could win the loyalty of a squad of millionaires & get them to lay down their lives for him.

  • He could make his enemies to play for him & love him.
  • He could persuade the lazy to work.
  • He could persuade the lame to run.
  • He could persuade the meek to fight.
  • He could make the hen to fly like a eagle & the elephant to run like a cheetah.
  • He was football's Pied Piper & was feted for it wherever he went as he won hon-ours wherever he went.
But this season, the motivational charm deserted him  & as a result his players stopped responding & Mourinho became powerless. He became bad at his job overnight at his job overnight & paid the ultimate price

Mourinho's loss of his job may not affect him in any way aside from the fact that he wanted to build a dynasty at Chelsea because a Managers of Mourinho's reputation will always be in high demand. but what will torment him is the manner in it happened & this may actually demoralized him & erode his confidence & self-belief for the future.

Assumption a Leading Cause of Failure in Examination Amongst Students

By Samuel Aniekan For EDDYSAM Educators


Assumption has been identified as one of the leading cause of failure in examination & in life as a whole. Failure of students in some instances can be trace back to assumption.

What is Assumption?

Assumption can been defined as the act of taking things for granted or supposing something to be the case without evidence or proof.

Assumption plays a major role when preparing for test or examination. In most cases, it is discovered that the questions that are answered wrongly or can't be answered by students are usually from areas where they believed that they are already grounded in as well as areas that are imagined to be very simple & as such they have no reason to revise such aspects of their curriculum.

A lots of students usually wrongly assumed that they understand a particular lesson the first time it is taught by the teacher. We all know that a lot of students find mathematics very difficult. An excellent teacher who can simplify complex stuffs comes into a mathematics class & demystifies a very difficult topic piece by piece.

Now the students actually understands the topic while the teacher is explaining & then feel that topic is as easy as it sounds. They fail to realize that they are not at the teacher's level & that the teacher must have gone over the material several times & digested it before delivering it to them at that level where they actually understand & feel that the lesson is easy. But there is a catch here. Assumptions can actually set in at this point because a complex, difficult lesson has been demystified & made simple & ordinary.

Assumptions usually comes into academics when a lesson/topic appears too easy. When a scholar assumes & believes that the lesson was easily understood & fails or refuses to go back after the class to do personal study to try & digest & absolved the material that was taught. He will definitely be found wanting when he is examined on this lesson.

For a student who will go back to engage in personal study he's going to find out that the lesson was not actually as easy as it appeared in the class room while the teacher was delivering it & he may need to consult the teacher once again for more explanation & clarification. But the joy of such students is that they won't be caught napping when they are examined on this topic because they have tied all loosed ends & did not leave any-thing to assumption.

How To Deal With the Negative Impart of Assumption

  1. Always engage in personal study immediately after a class.
  2. Study things that are look easy, are actually easy, as well as complex & difficult.
  3. Never take any lesson for granted no matter how easy it may appear to be.
  4. Never assume that you are grounded in a topic when you have not done your personal detailed study of that topic.
  5. Don't leave things to chance.
  6. When preparing for an examination never assume that you won't be tested in all areas. In other words study every-thing.

Does Chelsea Stand any Chance Against PSG in their Champions League Last 16 Fixture come Febraury 2016

 By Samuel Aniekan For EddySam Educators



The draws for the 2015/2016 Champions League round of 16 fixtures has been made & for the 3rd straight season running Chelsea FC has been paired against PSG. On paper and based on current form, & the caliber of players possess by both sides, this looks like mission impossible for Chelsea. It looks as if PSG are already through to the quarter -finals of the competition. As we speak fans of PSG may actually be celebrating because they have actually be drawn with one of the teams which every other team would have loved to be paired with according to Mourinho. So this is like a dream drawn to the average PSG fan.





Both teams are actually champions of their respective leagues with contrasting fortunes in the current campaign while PSG the French champions sit on top of the French league & are unbeaten in 18 league matches and won 15 of those 18 matches scoring 45 goals in the process & conceding just 9. They also only conceded one goal in the group stages of this years champions league competition as they finished runners-up to Real-Madrid. Jose Mourinho's Chelsea sit one point above the relegation zone in the 16th position after 16 matches having amassed just 15 points scoring 17 goals & conceding 24 goals.



It's not looking good at all for Chelsea FC at the moment but if PSG become complacent & over-confident & feel that they have already won the tie without kicking a ball then they may end up having themselves to blame come February 2016 because fortunes reversal can occur within a moment's notice & according to Tyson Fury " you don't have to be the best at an event for you to win. February may just be the period when Chelsea gets into their stride while PSG may suffer a blip in form.

Over the two legs a combination of tactics, belief, form, luck & destiny are going to play a key role in deciding the outcome. We know the champions league can be full of surprises.The Chelsea team that won the UCL a few years ago was actually one of the weakest Chelsea team who were never given any chance but luck was really on their side & it was their destiny to win the trophy that year. So if it is actually Chelsea's destiny to defeat PSG come February 2016 it is going to happen.

So PSG current good form may actually mean nothing come February 2016 if they are not in shape,  when the Champions League match is played against Chelsea.

Learning from the Ants as a Students

You can actually learn a lot from the life-style of the ant as a student or pupil.




The ant is one of the most industrious living organism. It is very very wise and organized. The ant is one of the few animals that can never die from starvation. It is always prepared. It never gives up when it encounters obstacles, stumbling blocks, hindrances or challenges. It always surmounts every challenge that comes across its ways. The ant always gathers food during the harvest period. During this period the ant works 24/7 gathering every-bit of food that it can found. During the winter when every where is frozen it shuts itself in and eats that which it had gathered during the period of harvest,

The ant is a unique creature that can accomplish what actually looks impossible. The ants can actually lift objects that are 20 times heavier than it's own body mass .This implies that a man of mass 60 kg with similar strength will be able to lift a load of 1200kg. They can build structures that are 500 times their own height & that are even stronger that cement structures. An example is an ant-hill which is very difficult to destroy. The ants have 2 stomachs, one for storing up food to share with others the other for stomach for their own personal use



The ants teach us a lesson about productivity, efficiency, paticipation & unity. To be productive as a student you need a plan. When you look at the ant you see them running around with a plan & a mission to accomplish. When an ant tries to lift some thing that is greater than it's strength other ants will volunteer to assist till the object is lifted. When a subject is giving you tough time as a student seek the help of other students that you know understands that subject more than you do

As a scholar never wait for test or exams before you open your books to study. Study what you are expected to know and the one that you may not be expected to know at that point in time. What you know can never be stolen from you. The rainy day will always come when you will have to tap into your reservoir of knowledge to scale an hurdle & when you are prepared you won't be find wanting.


The Four D(s) of Success Part 1

There are certain ingredients associated with success and they are:
1) Desire,
2) Decision,
3) Deligence &
4) Determination

To be a successful scholar you need to have this ingredients in your life or success will be far from you.

Looking at the first ingredient

Desire 

You can never be successful when you don't desire it. What you don't appreciate can never locate you. For success to locate you, you must first of all have inner craving for it.  You have to pang, hunger and thirst seriously for it. 

Have this mindset that if I don't succeed I am going to die. Failure must never be an option in your dictionary. 

After desire the next ingredient on your path to success is 

Decision 

Success never locates you just by desire alone. You need to take positive decisions and take positive  steps that would put you on the pathway of Success. As a scholar you may make the decision that when in class you are going to listen attentively to the teacher, maintain maximum concentration, & never be distracted by any other thing. You can make the decision to have a workable time-table.

You can make the decision not to watch movies for more than 3 hours in a week. You can also make the decision not to engage in idle talk. You can also make the decision to always do your homework always. You can also make the decision to use your pocket-money to buy text-books. Eliminate decisions that will be detrimental to your future success.

In making decisions you are going to faced with multiple choices. Some choices are going to look good but on close examination you will discover that they are choices that derail you from the path of success.

The 3rd ingredient on your path of success is Deligence which we will be looking at in part 2 of our write-up.
