RECOGNIZE PEOPLE's INFLUENCE ON OUR VISIONS

We need other people if we are going to successful in life because, we were not created to fulfill our vision alone. As a matter of fact, God specifically said about His first human creation,"it is not good for the man to be alone". We need people to make it in life. Individual purpose is always fulfilled within a larger or corporate purpose. Therefore, it's important that we work with others in making our vision a reality.

FG to deliver additional 750MW of electricity in Nov

THE Federal
Government is set to deliver
additional 750MW of
electricity to the national grid
from the multi-million dollars
Olorusogun Phase II National
Integrated Power (NIPP) by
November this year.
The Olorunsogo project
worth about $600 million is
in addition to other ongoing
NIPPs which are Omotosho,
Ondo State; Ihovbo, Edo
State; Alaoje, Abia State;
Egbema, Imo State; Gbaran,
Bayelsa State; Calabar, Cross
River State; Omoku, Rivers
State; Geregu, Kogi State and
Sapele, Delta State.
Speaking with newsmen
after a working tour of the
project, in Olorunsogo, Ogun
State, Vice President Namadi
Sambo said government was
committed to delivering
stable electricity supply to
Nigerians before the end of
the four years of the
President Goodluck
Jonathan ’s administration.
“In another six months from
now, the entire project
would be completed and
have 750MW added to the
national grid, ” Sambo said.
He told journalists that “we
have just signed a contract
with Nigerians and that is
why we have to ensure that
we deliver power to
Nigerians ”, Sambo said,
adding that the government
of President Goodluck
Jonathan was in a hurry to
improve the social and
economic lives of the
citizenry.
“We have no time to waste
to improve our social status
and change the fortunes of
Nigeriansreassuring the
electorate of government ’s
commitment to delivering on
their election promises.
“I want to say to Nigerians
that we are not resting. And
that we have done our
studies and we shall deliver
on our promises and not fail
Nigerians ”.
The vice president who
expressed satisfaction over
the progress of the work so
far said he was pleased to
note that three of the four
gas turbines were already
being test run.
Governor Daniel in his
remarks said power supply
was key to national
development and lauded the
president and his vice for
returning to the field after
the election to fulfil their
electoral promises. He said
the people of Ogun State
were excited about the
project which he said was
already having a positive
development on the axis
with the ongoing
development of over forty
housing estates. He also
projected that it would turn
around the economy of the
state and improve power
supply in the country.
Nuhu Wya, minister of state
power explained during the
inspection of the project,
that the contract for the
execution of the project was
signed in 2007 by the
Federal Government to boost
power generation in the
country.
He reassured the Ogun state
government of government ’s
commitment to ensuring that
the people of the state are
the primary beneficiary of
the power project and was
doing everything possible to
deliver stable power supply
to Nigerians.
The Olorunsogo NIPP is a
combined circle facility with
four gas and two steam
turbines designed for
maximum power generation
efficiency.
The minister explained that
“ combined circle means that
the exhaust gas from the gas
turbines is recovered at
about 650 degree centigrade
and used through the heat
recovery steam generator to
fire a steam turbine to
generate additional power”.
The effect Wya explained “is
that the exhaust heat that
would otherwise be lost is
recovered and used to
generate additional
electricity without bearing
more gas ”.
The process according to
him increases the efficiency
from about 35 per cent to 50
per cent.
Wya confirmed that three of
the four gas turbines were
already running saying that
the 750MW will “contribute
additional 20 per cent of the
total power available to
Nigeria. This is a significant
contribution to the available
4000MW ”.

How To Overcome Criticizing And Feelings Of Inferiority

I would be completely lying and
doing everyone a disfavor if I
said, "The inferiority complex is
all in the mind, dude. Just stop
thinking you're inferior because
you're not." It isn't. If it were so
simple then billions, yes billions,
wouldn't experience it sometime
in their life.
I know of personal development
teachers who teach such things.
I did some brief browsing on the
web to see what information
was available on the inferiority
complex, and most of the advice
offered is harmful. "Experts"
were telling people "things will
get better", "be more positive", or
"it's not so bad". If you have the
inferiority complex and someone
says that to you, then you'll
understand the massive
frustration caused from the huge
misunderstanding when
someone gives you such poor
advice. This type of positive
thinking is nicely understood in a
Bible verse.
In Luke chapter 5 (NKJV), Jesus
was talking to some Pharisees
who were complaining. Jesus
replied to them in a parable so
that they would be more likely to
understand:
"No one puts a piece from a new
garment on an old one
otherwise the new makes a tear,
and also the piece that was taken
out of the new does not match
the old. And no one puts new
wine into old wineskins; or else
the new wine will burst the
wineskins and be spilled, and the
wineskins will be ruined."
The garment and the wineskins
examples are what positive
thinking does to our self-image.
A new patch over the bad
garment improves the garment a
little bit yet it is still its same old
self. If new wine ( positive
thinking) is poured into old
wineskins (your poor self-image
of feeling inferior) then nothing
good will result. It is a battle of
willpower and what is known as
creative imagination which you'll
learn more about below. Positive
thinking can slightly improve the
situation but in the end it usually
results in frustration as our
willpower becomes exhausted.
Whenever there is a fight
between willpower and creative
imagination, you can bet creative
imagination will be the victor.
From personal experience and
coaching others, I know first
hand that a better self-image
where you do not feel inferior
cannot be achieved through
positive self-talk, affirmations,
and the like. Unfortunately,
thousands of people have taught
and continue to teach that using
positive self-talk will overcome
your problems. Positive self-talk
is often nothing more than an
attempt to live deliriously from
reality and ignore what is really
taking place.
We are conditioned by society to
believe that being positive during
our own problems and when
comforting others is a good
thing. Nothing could be further
from the truth. If you are
interested in becoming a strong
pillar in someone's life where
you are able to emotionally
support people, gain their
respect, friendship, and remain
stable, composed, and poised
without feeling depressed or
insane, then I highly recommend
you get my program here.
The primary factors of the
conditioning aspect that
determines whether you become
inferior or rise above the
circumstance is your attitude
towards criticism and failure.
Don ’t forget that there is the
creative imagination aspect
which is a more powerful
influence towards feeling inferior
yet criticism and failure are the
powerful influences within the
conditioning aspect.
Criticism and failure will always
be banging at your door to
success. Unfortunately, most of
us let the two get a foot hold
within our lives and from there
the problems expand themselves.
Criticism compounds criticism
and failure demotivates you
resulting in more failure. You will
never be able to eliminate
criticism or failure. Therefore, to
overcome the inferiority complex
you cannot expect yourself to not
fail or to not receive criticism.
Overcoming the conditioning
aspect of the inferiority complex
is a matter of learning and
moving on while maintaining a
goal-focused attitude. Anyone
who has achieved anything
notable sooner or later receives
criticism. The great Greek
philosopher, Aristotle, said
"Criticism is something we can
avoid easily by saying nothing,
doing nothing, and being
nothing."
When you feel criticism is a signal
of your unworthiness then it
begins to stimulate inferiority,
shame, and failure. Don ’t take
criticism personally and think you
are a failure. If criticism is justly
deserved then use it as feedback
to adjust your course of action as
it guides you back on the path of
not feeling inferior.
You need to know that other’s
criticism towards you will either
be an attempt to improve your
life, be a release of frustration, or
a sign of the person ’s own
problems. Sometimes you can
take the criticism as a sign of you
progressing forward in life!
We all have been criticized. Some
people suffer while other's
flourish and experience great
levels of confidence, success,
happiness, and intimate
relationships. Why is this and
what can you do to overcome
your inferiority complex?
Think of a time when the power
of the sender, intensity of the
criticism, and the frequency you
were criticized made you feel
inferior. If you can and I suggest
you do, make your selected
memory one related to your
current feelings of inferiority. If
you are a shy person then
perhaps think of a time when
someone told you to stop talking
because you have nothing good
to say.
Once you have come up with one
or several memories, ask yourself
these questions:
- What were you thinking when
the person made you feel
inferior?
- What emotions did you
experience?
- What self-talk followed the
person's negative feedback?
- How long did these feelings and
thoughts last?
- How intense were these
feelings and thoughts?
After answering these questions,
if you reacted poorly to the
negative feedback given to you
in these situations, you should
now be more aware of how your
feeling of inferiority developed.
You see, the person’s criticism
and other types of negative
feedback has no power over you.
It isn't the events which make
you inferior. Rather, it is your
reaction to the events. It is the
thoughts and feelings you
experience after the event that
determine whether your
inferiority grows or dies. The
conditioning aspect of inferiority
partly manifests through the
criticism of others if we let it, yet
our reaction to the event usually
determines who we become.
Referring back to the three
components (power of sender,
intensity, and frequency) which
shape us, if you severely beat
your emotional self up and
frequently do it (for self-talk, I say
the power of the sender factor
varies depending how strong
your self-image is in the specific
area you are criticizing yourself
over), then the self-criticism will
have a bigger impact on your
inferiority.
You condition yourself to feel
inferior through self-criticism.
You become your own worst
enemy. Your "self" gets smacked
by your thoughts and self-talk.
The failures become a part of
who you are. You are unable to
disassociate events and
experiences from your identity
and so you begin to verbally bash
your mind. You feel inferior like a
failure.
Once you've initiated the
thoughts, the feelings begin to
follow. You begin to feel inferior.
You use your creative
imagination poorly and begin to
evoke images of failure, misery,
shame, unworthiness, and low
self-esteem. All these negative
messages that you've come to
accept over time mold your self-
image and make you feel inferior.
You eventually believe that you
are in fact inferior.

Ten Ways To Stop Or Reduce Interview Stress/Tension

It’s important to remember when
you’re going for a job interview
that the purpose of the interview
is to assess your suitability for
the job. You are not being
assessed as a parent or an
athlete or a lover, unless of
course, those qualifications and
skills are needed to do the job
for which you are applying.
Don’t frame the interview as a
cross-examination that will
determine your value as a
person. The job interview will
probably take 30 minutes of your
life and it should be seen as an
important occasion but not an
evaluation of your life. Your
tombstone will not contain any
references to this job interview.
It is only a very tiny part of your
life.
Your integrity and authenticity as
a person are exactly the same
after the job interview as they
were before the job interview.
Think of the event as a
conversation about a job and
this will probably make you feel
more at ease.
Here are ten suggestions on
things you can do to reduce the
stress:
1. Make a list of things that you
are likely to enjoy about it.
For example you might enjoy the
drive to the interview, or the
location in which it will be held. It
could be a place you ’ve never
visited before and you may have
some interesting things to see
and explore.
You will almost certainly meet
people that you may have never
met before and there is always
an outside chance that some of
these new people could become
lifelong friends, or lovers if the
chemistry is right. You cannot
possibly predict what
opportunities will arise from the
people encounters.
2. Good preparation is essential
to reduce the stress of the
interview.
If you are well prepared and
have done some research about
the organisation then that can
certainly help. As part of your
preparations for the interview
visit the website of the company
or organisation that you’ll be
visiting and learn as much as you
possibly can about them.
Corporate websites contain a lot
of useful information that will
inform and prepare you. The
interviewers will be impressed if
you demonstrate knowledge
about the organisation.
3. Approach the interview with
the right mindset.
One of the most important things
to do is to go to the interview
with the right mindset. Turn your
focus away from asking yourself
things like what can the job do
for me to the alternative focus of
what can I do for the job.
Make a list of all the things you
can do to add value to that
organisation using your skills,
past experience and knowledge.
If you go to the interview
focused on what you can do for
the organisation then this will
certainly create a very good
impression and greatly increases
your chances of getting the job.
4. Rehearse the job interview
using positive visualization.
A few hours prior to attending
the interview visualize yourself
going through the interview in a
relaxed calm and a professional
way and actually enjoying the
process. You may even visualize
yourself being surprised at how
well it is going. This will certainly
help you with your stress levels
and relax you and prepare you
for the event in as positive a way
as possible.
5. Organize the details and
tasks you need to cover for the
day.
Make a list of the things that you
actually need to do on the day of
the interview. For example
decide what clothes you are
going to wear, what documents
or items you might be taking to
the interview such as references
or other material that is required.
Wherever possible avoid taking
pets or children with you to the
interview!
Make sure you know where you
are going. Double check the
address of the interview and the
specific room, factory or floor in
which it will be held. The latter is
really important to sort out if the
interview is to take place in a
high rise building. You may need
to consult a map or discuss with
your friends about the best way
of getting there.
Take with you your contact
telephone numbers just in case
something unexpected occurs on
the way. If anything does happen
you will be able to ring up and
explain that you ’re inadvertently
delayed.
6. Get to the interview in plenty
of time.
Arrive in plenty of time to the
interview so that you can relax in
your surroundings and just
compose yourself before actually
talking to the people who will be
assessing you for the job
position. Once you are in the
waiting room and you have
some time to spare you can calm
your mind and focus on the
event.
7. Expect to feel a little nervous
and welcome it.
You’ll probably feel nervous
before going into the interview
and this is actually a good thing.
Some level of nervousness will
assist you to keep alert and
attentive. You don ’t want to
present feeling too laid back or
relaxed so that the interviewers
conclude that you ’re just not
interested.
8. Fully understand the nature
and requirements of the job.
Make sure that you are fully
informed of the requirements of
the job. Review the job
advertisement again and ask
yourself is this a job that you
would really enjoy doing. If you
are going for the job just
because you need a job then
your motivation may not convey
any real enthusiasm for the
position. If you really want the
job and you are enthusiastic and
excited about it and see yourself
doing it very well then this
creates a powerful mindset.
9. Give yourself full credit for
actually getting the interview.
You made the final cut. The
organisation was sufficiently
impressed by your credentials to
want to learn more about you.
Give yourself credit for this. If
100 people applied for the
position and 10 are granted
interviews then you are in that
top 10%.
10. The Interviewers have
probably experienced many job
interviews of their own.
It is very likely that the people
who will interview you have
been through many job
interviews themselves. They
probably gained their current
position because of a job
interview. Because they
understand that job interviews
can be stressful they will
probably go out of their way to
make you feel at ease.
