Most times we are bewildered by the things life throws at us and decided enough is enough. You don’t want to take it anymore. The overwhelming stress of what is happening pushes us to surrender our will power to the strains of life. By this post I am going to give six (6) things you need to quit right now and stop doing as it’s a recipe for failure and it will breed contempt and eventually pull you back. 1.      When we try to please everyone: We are what we think, you determine what people think about you, you are unique and being yourself makes you original. The moments you try to be someone you’re not then you have missed the point. A lot of people spend half their lives trying to please everyone and gain approval of everyone.

When I was in school I heard a lot of things such as finishing with a good grade and all. I was excited and was filled with a lot of aspirations and dreams to finish with a first class or a 2.1, these were known as good grades and was going to give an edge in the market. Anything short of this was considered absolute failure and waste of time. However, this doesn’t mean that graduates with a 2.2, third class or a pass won’t get jobs, but it is what they do after school that will determine how fast you can get a job. This are not laid down rules but pointers that can be followed to secure a dream

I sat down one afternoon watching my favourite team playing and could not erase a thought from my mind. I kept thinking of one word “Mentality”. I kept observing the spectators and I could see the joy and pride amongst the supporters. Even the commentator was making a remark about the winning mentality of the team and yes the word struck to my brain like glue. It was only normal for me to pick up my laptop to start writing. Now what is this mentality I am talking about? Mentality is a salient framework by which we are being are perceived by any one we come across.
