Competition.





Hello everyone.
How has your day been?

Today we'll look at something we find very common among us as human beings.

Competition is defined by the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary to mean;

1. A situation where people try to be more successful or better than someone else.

2.  An event where people compete with each other to find out the best at something.

3. The people who are competing against someone or whom someone is competing against.

Our focus today is majorly on the first and perhaps the third definition.

Competition is something that can both be healthy and move people forward or can become a destructive force that can slow down progress.

When you see people set great records, do extraordinary things and you pick positive challenges from that and try to do your best as well to create a positive mark then you can be said to be in HEALTHY COMPETITION.

On the other hand when people's progress makes you feel insecure, afraid, envious and unhappy and as a result you decide out of anger and the negative emotions you feel try to outdo them, you're engaging in UNHEALTHY COMPETITION.

Unhealthy competition sucks you dry of any positive energy you require to pursue your life goals and dreams.

Rather than give, it takes so much away from you.

We live in a world where people try to outdo each other not necessarily out of the love of making life better but more out of a sense of insecurity.

When you decide to compete with people you lose your uniqueness and individuality.

You end up becoming a shadow of that person or persons you're trying to out do.

Unhealthy competitions make you a slave
of your competitors' ways of doing things.

You no longer have a mind of your own.
Your happiness and progress is determined by them.

You only live to outdo them and nothing more.
It's a terrible way to live life.

So are you in anyway trying to compete with anyone in order to outdo them and feel more secure?
It's totally unnecessary. Free yourself from such burden and live life at your own terms, with your uniqueness.

Happy weekend.

Juvenile Diabetes.

Juvenile Diabetes seems like a strange word because that disease is usually associated with adults. But in this article we will look at what that really means.  Sometime last month i was chatting with a friend on issues of diet and she went on to tell me about her observation on how a lot of modern parents in a bid to make their kids feel good or pampered stuff them with all kinds of unhealthy snacks coated with so much sugar and unhealthy preservatives. I remember also reading an article few years back about how exercises were forcefully added to school curriculums in one of these advanced countries in the middle east as they observed lots of their children coming down with obesity and diabetes. These two scenarios prompted me to write this post especially for parents, to mind what their children eat. --------- ------------- ------------ ---------- ------------- What is Juvenile Diabetes? This is a chronic condition in children in which their pancreas produces little o...
