The Fox and the Grapes

One day a fox travelled many miles and was very hungry. He looked about for food but found nothing to eat.

At last he saw a grapevine on which fine bunches of ripe, black grapes were hanging. The Fox stood up but the grapes were too high above his head.

He made several jumps upwards; still the grapes were beyond his reach. When he could not get at them by any means, he turned away.

While going away, he tried to console himself saying, “The grapes are sour, and not as ripe as they look!”

Lesson Learnt: by Dedoyin

In every circumstance, we must learn to look at the positive side.
Even in every bad situation, there are some hidden blessings therein.
The story teaches us to be grateful for every circumstance we find ourselves, things may have turned out worse.

HOW TO MAKE LIQUID AIR FRESHENER (…best DIY formulations ever) If you’ve ever lived close to a land fill, you can probably tell the volume of rain about to fall just from the poignant moving air that hovers around the land fill and it’s environs. The neighbourhood smells really bad, stale and un -fresh. On the other hand, if you have been to a park to relax especially when the tree flowers are in their blooming season, you might be greeted to a cozy array of fragrances. I particularly love the strong scent of the Frangipani flower. Odours are quite powerful and they sure do much work than science admits currently. In fact, in addition to other senses, humans have survived through the ages by relying on the sense of smell. The senses collect loads of information the brain then processes. Without them, the brain is just an intelligent machine with high potential yet without the necessary external connections, it is useless. We associate odour with everything – the good, th

WHY YOU MAY NEVER BE EMPLOYABLE UNTIL...

by Adedoyin Shobo …But what did the people that say you are not employable expect? The cold war between the Soviet Union and America lasted for decades and was based on a myriad of issues from the Arts, economic prosperity to Science. It was the war of the titans indeed, the who's who countries stood in the battlefield...in the gladiator’s coliseum of the mind. The result was the explosion in the technological advancement today from rocket science to smart phone science… The question of education is a quest for survival. It is a quest of how-much-do-you-know-before-you-run-out-of-your-precious-life...lines. It is the flint that forges the infrastructure that makes life a little more meaningful and interesting. I highlighted below - a montage of sanctimonious words from the bible. It pontificates in the curious voice of a child and the wisdom of a grey - bearded geriatric that has seen-it-all. “Be ye diligent in all things...one day you will seats with Kings and the

Traditional medicine (TM) or native medicine is an essential aspect of the rich cultural heritage across the globe that has survived many generations, focusing on the indigenous way of preventing, diagnosing and managing diseases. Amongst the most widely known and globally practiced forms of native medicine are: Ayurveda; Unani; Tibetan medicine; Traditional Chinese Medicine and African Traditional Medicine. In Africa, native medicine arguably accounts for up to 80% of the health care delivery according to the World Health Organisation (WHO). These, therefore underscores the global relevance and increasing recognition of traditional medicine as a veritable tool in addressing Man’s health needs. In a bid to accommodate the worldwide diversity of cultures and their indigenous mode of traditional medicine practices, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined traditional medicine as: “the sum total of all the knowledge, skills, and practices based on the theories, beliefs, and expe
