Life is a school. Problems are teachers.
How we respond to problems determines what we learn from them.
When a problem appears, our first instinct is often to avoid it.
But problems rarely disappear because we ignore them. More often, they linger or become worse.
I've learned that there is something valuable about confronting a problem head-on.
It forces you to think, investigate, adapt and sometimes discover abilities you didn't know you had.
So when a problem comes, take a breath and ask:
“What lesson have you brought this time?”
We exist by noticing problems, but we truly live when we solve them.
Starting today…
1. Think about the problem you've been postponing.
2. Sit down and find the source.
3. Decide what needs to change.
4. Take the first step.
It may take days and several attempts but there is a particular kind of joy that comes from finally solving a problem you once thought you couldn't.
Face it.
Learn from it.
Solve it.
If someone remembers to call or text you to say “hello”, appreciate it.
The world we live in is getting busier every day, and no one seems to care about another.
But if in the midst of all the busyness, you find someone who cares to say “hello” to you, you are blessed.
Sometimes, it is not all about the money or the achievements, it is about who does care about you.
I used to have a brother in my life. I can never forget how he used to call me to check up on me when I was in a difficult time.
That alone has earned him my honour for life.
Sometimes, the care we long to receive begins with the care we choose to give.
One of the simplest ways I've found to teach Direct Variation is the table method.
It gives students a clear way to organise the quantities, identify the relationship between them, and work through the problem systematically.
I explained the method in my latest video on The Edge Tutorials.

@winexviv What used to be a project for the engineering students in the university is now the cool projects for the secondary school students from the village.
@winexviv we love what you are doing
@winexviv How else can we make learning interesting?
For the first time, these young chaps are seeing the real applications of what they keep learning in the classroom
What a joy in learning these children are currently having?
What a way to bridge the gap between theory and practical experience.
Here, the children are getting real-time, hands-on exposure to what we would normally only see, hear about, or talk about.
If they can see it, touch it, and build it at such an early age, then you can only imagine what the future holds for them.
I decided to check an experiment with four of my students
They were slow in learning Mathematics. I was called a slow learner too so I understand what that meant
Their performance in Maths is nothing to write home about.
They failed maths and had even lost belief in themselves
So I took all four today and taught them.
Not in the normal regular way maths is being taught but using the method I discovered while I learned myself.
When I was done with them, I gave them a test. They performed well!
The experiment worked.
In a single class with a single test, they proved that old methods of teaching didn't work for them but new method could make a shift
They went up and grasped the concept fully.
Here are they, see their faces!
@winexviv I must tell you. The future is truly exciting for the young ones. How truly happy I feel as I see them talk about these tiny components that make up a drone. This bridging the gap between theory and reality
I am yet to understand the level of thought and marketing strategies Temu put into the services
I added few items into my cart last two weeks and then left off
But you see, Temu sends me reminder up to 10 times per day with different headlines reminding me of my items
What is more amazing is that I noticed that during the day, their notifications come with a vibration and then a high pitch bell sound follows but at night, their notifications only vibrate.
That tells me something, if every small business can take their time daily to study Temu, I think we can do amazing sales.
