Web 2.0 learning opportunity for development

It's a great privilege being a part of Web 2.0 learning opportunity for development organised by CTA/UNAAB at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. The programme started yesterday and will be on till Friday. It provided a platform where we were able to learn about simple tools that had been available for our use for collaboration, sharing information, etc but we were not using. At the end of the exercise, the way we conduct our research will never remain the same. It can only be better.

It is defeat that turns bone to flint, and gristle to muscle, and makes people invincible, and forms those heroic natures that are now in ascendancy in the world. Do not, then, be afraid of defeat. You are never so near to victory as when defeated in a good cause.

Henry Ward Beecher

A good character is to be praised than outstanding talents. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece_ by thought, choice, courage and determination.

John Luther

A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back to the crowd.

Bitterness, like a burning match, only burns the one who holds onto it.

Steve Farrar (in Finishing Strong)

Everyone fails.But the true failure is the one who doesn't learn from his setbacks.

Humility means that someone has a proper self-confidence, a proper self-esteem, and a proper kind of godly courage.

Good resolutions are like babies crying in the church; they should be carried out immediately.

A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials.

-Chinese Proverb

Do not be deceived by the promises of tomorrow, tomorrow is vague, achieve all you can today. Haven't you wondered why business places put up the notice: "no credit today, come tomorrow" because they know the next day won’t be tomorrow, but another "today". Be wise!!!

Make your work fun! There’s nothing like the feeling of satisfaction that comes after doing your best on a project. Challenge yourself to climb to new heights. Answer the phone with a smile in your voice. Write a dynamic report. Compete with yourself to do a better job. Then notice how much more energy you have at the end of the day.

Have you ever heard that old adage, “When life throws you a lemon, make lemonade?” We may not be able to control the circumstances around us, but we can choose our attitude. Happiness is a choice. So spin that straw into gold! Choose to rise above your trials and view your challenges in light of God’s promises.
