When was the last time you read a book, or a substantial magazine article? Do your daily reading habits center around tweets, Facebook updates, or the directions on your instant oatmeal packet?

Mental Stimulation Studies have shown that staying mentally stimulated can  slow the progress  of (or possibly even prevent) Alzheimer's and Dementia, since keeping your brain active and engaged prevents it from losing power. Just like any other muscle in the body, the brain requires exercise to keep it strong and healthy, so the phrase "use it or lose it" is particularly apt when it comes to your mind. Doing puzzles and playing games  such as chess have also been found to be helpful with cognitive stimulation. 2. Stress Reduction No matter how much  stress  you have a...

As an education and career website, we often get inquiries from students who need advice on courses of study to pursue in the university. Most of them usually ask for the popular courses. Actually, in Nigeria today, course of study hardly matters again, except in few specialist cases. Here, JarusHub editors have compiled the list of good courses students tend to underrate. Their admission requirements are not usually stiff and most of them are available in many schools. Prospective undergraduates, especially average students, should consider them. 1, Sociology Two years ago, one student reader of JarusHub sent us an email saying he was ashamed of telling people he was studying Sociology. He was desperate to cross over to Economics. We advised him to continue with Sociology and study hard to be exceptional in it. He came back two years later to say our advice turned out to be a life changer as he made a first class in Sociology. Being deficient in Mathematics, he might not have made a...

And when the going gets tough, it's easy to consider giving up or dropping back. If this is you, it's time to take a cue from the mentally strong . Here are some common traits mentally strong people share: Never give up. Everyone makes mistakes, and everyone will fail at something at some time in their lives.

Failure, not success, is what makes people learn and grow, and be willing to fail again and again in order to soak up as much knowledge as possible. Enjoy your own company.

Instead, they enjoy and even treasure the time they spend alone and use it as downtime to reflect, t...

Success is  not  extrinsic. It’s not measurable. “Success” can only truly occur internally, because it is based on emotion. At the most basic level, success if your relationship with yourself. Most people are living a lie. They purposefully ignore and distract themselves from what they deep down want for themselves. Many people want something more for themselves. They have dreams and ambitions. Yet, few of these people ever get what they intended. Being ambitious isn’t enough. Far more important than ambition is commitment. When you’re committed to something, you will be and do  what is required  for the attainment of that thing. You’ll stop wondering and start building. You’ll stop being distracted and start learning. You’ll start connecting. You’ll start failing. You’ll get what you want, rather than have a long list of “ambitions.” You’ll have actual accomplishments that reflect your inn...

Whats new?    How happy are you―really? If there’s room for improvement, try one of these suggestions. glass-half-full   A few years ago, on a morning like any other, I had a sudden realization: I was in danger of wasting my life. As I stared out the rain-spattered window of a New York City bus, I saw that the years were slipping by. “What do I want from life?” I asked myself. “Well…I want to be happy.” I had many reasons to be happy: My husband was the tall, dark, handsome love of my life; we had two delightful girls; I was a writer, living in my favorite city. I had friends; I had my health; I didn’t have to color my hair. But too often I sniped at my husband or the drugstore clerk. I felt dejected after even a minor professional setback. I lost my temper easily. Is that how a happy person would act? I decided on the spot to begin a systematic study of happiness. (A little intense, I know.
