8 Things Happy And Successful People Ignore

 Everyone wants to be successful and happy these
days, but there are so many things that prevent us
from being happy. The truth is, we are the only ones
that can decide whether to live a happy life or spend
the life doing things that make us unhappy. You will
never become successful if you don’t learn how to be
happy. It’s hard to learn to ignore negativity,
stereotypes, and naysayers, but it’s extremely
important. Don’t be afraid to go against the grain to
make a difference by doing things your own way. Here
are a few things you should ignore if you want to be a
happy and successful person.

 1. The past
You can’t change your past, so there’s no sense in
dwelling on it. Forget all your old troubles and
mistakes. What’s done is done and you can’t change it,
no matter how hard you try. In fact, our mistakes help
us become stronger and wiser. We learn from them
and we learn our weaknesses. Even the most stressful
and tragic situations eventually teach you vital lessons
that you never thought you’re going to learn. Just
because you are not a successful person today doesn’t
mean you will not be the one someday. You will be
happy and successful – maybe not right now, but
eventually. Just don’t give up and don’t let your past
ruin your present.
2. The things they can’t control
Happy and successful people never force anything.
They don’t hold themselves down with things they
can’t control. Successful people never talk about the
problem, they think about the solution. So if you have
some problems, start thinking about the solutions. If
you can’t change your current situation, let it be.
Remember, changes happen for a reason. If it’s meant
to be, it will be.
3. Other people’s opinions
It’s great to listen to people around you, but it doesn’t
mean you should act up to their opinions. If you spend
too much time thinking of everyone else’s perception
of you and if you pay attention to everyone else’s
judgment, you will eventually forget who you truly are.
You know who you are, so don’t let the judgments of
other people affect your life. Impress and inspire
people around you and show them how happy and
successful you are.
4. Impatient thoughts
Joyce Meyer once said, “Patience is not the ability to
wait but the ability to keep a good attitude while
waiting.” Patience allows you to stay focused,
confidently taking one small step at a time. Every step
you take, no matter how small, is a huge progress.
Whether you’re working on getting a promotion,
improving your health, or learning a new language,
don’t expect instant results. Every change, big and
small, takes patience and time. Ignore those impatient
thoughts, focus on your goals, stay positive and you
will definitely see your progress. Trust me, I know how
it’s frustrating when the results don’t appear as fast as
you’d hoped. But if you put in the work and have a
little patience, you will achieve any goal, I promise!
5. Doubts
Successful people always believe in their capacity to
succeed. They ignore all nagging doubts and keep a
positive attitude no matter how bad things get. Even if
you made many mistakes, you should still believe in
yourself and your strength. Believe that your career is
worth the efforts. Believe that people can be
intelligent and foolish, generous and selfish, happy
and stressed all at once. Believe that you are
successful even if you don’t earn millions. Believe in
your intuition when you should choose between
something. Believe that your life is happy and it will
bring you joy again and again. Believe in magic when it
seems like there’s no way out of the situation you are
in. Remember, belief is always better than doubt.
6. Inessential tasks
Successful people know when and how to say no. You
are not superhuman – you can’t do everything and you
can’t help everyone. You need to focus on your goals.
Stop trying to do too much things at once. If you never
say no, you will stress yourself out since you might fail
to do everything at once. Don’t be afraid to say no
more often. Sometimes we spend a lot of time on
what is urgent and less time on what is important. Try
to focus on more important things and it will certainly
help you achieve success.
7. Everyday frustrations
Bad days are just bad days. They come and they go.
Although you might feel overly stressed, try to ignore
them. It’s much easier to enjoy your life when you stay
positive even if you have a bad day. Unfortunately, we
can’t avoid everyday frustrations. We fall, we rise, we
make mistakes, we learn, and we live. We are all
humans, we can’t be perfect. Practice gratitude daily
and it will help you cope with the hard times. Realize
that life is beautiful. Sometimes there’s sadness, but
there are also plenty of beautiful things. Learn to
ignore everyday frustrations even when it hurts, and
you will see how happy and successful you are.
8. Fears
Often we don’t take risks because of fear of failing,
judgment, or rejection. This is one of the main reasons
why so many people are not successful these days.
Successful people overcome their fears and they often
take risks. In fact, almost everything in life is a risk,
including just being alive. If you don’t take risks, you
won’t grow and thrive and you won’t know what you
are capable of. When you feel fear, doubt, frustration,
or anxiety, know that you can fight it. Just focus on the
possibilities, on the goodness and on your goals and
you will feel much better in no time.

BEYOND KSU : UNILAG Begins Victimization Of Students Over Protest Against Poor Welfare On Campus- SAHARA REPORTERS

 The authorities of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) have see
up a Senate Disciplinary Panel to punish students believed
to have participated in the recent protest on campus.
Already, the panel has started inviting the students for
interrogation in a bid to punish them for lawfully expressin
their dissatisfaction with the deplorable welfare conditions
in the university.

The authorities of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) have
set up a Senate Disciplinary Panel to punish students
believed to have participated in the recent protest on
campus. Already, the panel has started inviting the students
for interrogation in a bid to punish them for lawfully
expressing their dissatisfaction with the deplorable welfare
conditions in the university.
The move is an extension of the punitive action against the
University of Lagos Students' Union, which resulted in the
suspension of its constitution as well as the executive and
legislative organs of the union just one year after these
were restored by the authorities. On 8 April, the university
authorities issued a school closure and vacation order to all
the students in response to their protest through which
they demanded solutions to poor water and electricity
supply on the campus.
But on reopening the university, the authorities ejected all
members of the Students' Union from their campus
accommodation, citing their protest against poor welfare in
April. In newspaper publications, the university authorities
attributed the students' demonstration to exuberance and
accused the Students' Union leadership of lacking integrity.
So far, the disciplinary panel has invited nearly every
member of the suspended Students' Union.
 A source familiar with workings of the university authorities
told SaharaReporters that the move is part of a plot to
distract the students from launching a fresh protest for the
restoration of the suspended union.
The source added that the students have launched a social
media campaign for the restoration of the University of
Lagos Students Union (ULSU) under a hashtag
#RestoreULSU. This, he added, has caused the authorities
huge embarrassment, forcing them into a crackdown on
students leading the agitation.
