WHEN APPLE FALLS

By


Yes, apples do fall everyday! well, maybe not just apples. Mangoes fall too and you've seen it fall several times, so what do you think?

 Ah! eat it up right?

 Well, someone saw an apple fall and made a big deal of it. he got people talking about that apple for decades and we still talk about it today. in fact, you can't claim to know the world you live in without talking about that apple.

Sir Isaac Newton would pass for the definition critical thinking personified. It was recorded that Newton was taking a peaceful walk in his garden when he suddenly spot an apple falling from a tree. He sat thinking why the apple did not fall sideways or went back up, but fall down to the ground. From that unfolding, he embarked on a research and came up with the law of gravity. Yes, whatever goes up must come down. 

 But you know what? Apples fall everyday. Yes, the little things that happen to and around us daily are like the falling apple in Newton's garden. If only we could be presently connected, we would uncover hidden mysteries buried in our daily existence. 

 So what are the apples that fall daily? 

1. Conversations: Yes, conversations are like the falling apple. There's always something to pick out of every conversation if only you would maintain an open mind. The common enemy of having an impact filled conversation is a made up mind, a mind that won't consider seeing things from other people's perspective, but think it already knows the answer. 

2. Happenings: The little things that happen to and around us daily, may hold great mysteries that can change the course of history(watch out) 

3. Adversity: Adversity is a great motivator for change, the tough times you go through, can be the best thing that ever happened to you. As Sigmund Freud rightly said, "one day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.”

Bottom line: things happen everyday that presents us the opportunity to make our existence better or discover new things or new ways of doing things. We only need to be mindfully connected when those moments knock or rather, when apples fall.

When we talk of job security its always long discursion for Nigeria employees, especially those in the media. For the next 2 to 3 weeks I'll be doing a write up on job security in the Nigeria media industry, where I'll discuss based on findings and observations, the job security level of media workers. JOB SECURITY IN NIGERIAN MASS MEDIA INDUSTRY (PART 1). INTRODUCTION. Job security has become an increasingly rare commodity in the global economy that offers no lack of cheap labour alternatives. However, that's no reason to dismiss the importance of job security for your career.

While a majority of the Nigerian population are forcing their way into the public sector to meet ends, a lot of opportunities are dieing down, and remain untapped in the country.   A nation that have produced the richest man in African, richest woman in Africa  and a growing large telecom company, but yet its citizens still run to government to offer them jobs. I picked sectors in the country that have a lot of opportunities to dig into. While it might differ in location, these are the ones i found in my place. Feel free to add yours at the comment box below. 1. Poultry Farming.   With the festive periods drawing close, chicken is not only needed but eggs also. These eggs can be supplied to restaurants as well as sold to retail outlets. Believe me I've seen a lot of people make it in this business.
