Motivational Stories For Everyone!!!

IT IS THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE

There was a man taking a morning walk at the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish and when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the morning sun rays, they would die. The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few steps, picked one and threw it into the water. He did that repeatedly. Right behind him there was another person who couldn't understand what this man was doing. He caught up with him and asked, "What are you doing? There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What difference does it make?" This man did not reply, took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, "It makes a difference to this one."

What difference are we making? Big or small, it does not matter. If everyone made a small difference, we'd end up with a big difference, wouldn't we?

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED?

About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morning newspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his name in the obituary column. The news papers had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake. His first response was shock. Am I here or there? When he regained his composure, his second thought was to find out what people had said about him. The obituary read, "Dynamite King Dies." And also "He was the merchant of death." This man was the inventor of dynamite and when he read the words "merchant of death," he asked himself a question, "Is this how I am going to be remembered?" He got in touch with his feelings and decided that this was not the way he wanted to be remembered. From that day on, he started working toward peace. His name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the great Nobel Prize.

Just as Alfred Nobel got in touch with his feelings and redefined his values, we should step back and do the same.

What is your legacy?

How would you like to be remembered?

Will you be spoken well of?

Will you be remembered with love and respect?

Will you be missed?

Tips for Answering Written promotion Interview Questions. by Ogunbiyi Abiola

Written interview questions are basically designed to test our written skills, grammatical accuracy, sentence formation, clarity of thought and expression among other things.  Our interviewers use written tests as a first step in the interview process. So, to answer these written questions i want to share few tips on how to go about it. Really, some people may have already familiar with these tips. But, for the benefit of people who may not have known these tips, i decided to write them

While preparing for written interview questions, it is best to practice by writing answers to typical or sample interview question (like the one i earlier posted).  Writing gives you the ability to gather your thoughts and put them forth in an articulate and structured manner.

While composting answers remember not to use slang or colloquial terms.  The written language is always much more formal than the spoken one.   It is also best to refrain from using flowery/vague language and abbreviations.  Use simple language and short sentences, as they make for better reading.

Give structured responses, where each paragraph may elaborate on one particular facet.  It is good to have an introduction, body and conclusion while attempting the written question answers.

Clarity of thought and expression are very important, so make sure to re-read your answers once you have written them.  It is also advisable to proof-read your answers, as many a time, one overlooks grammatical and spelling mistakes.  Looking into these specific details can be the clincher, when all else is equal.

I think these tips will be helpful as well. I wish you all the best!!!!!!
