The 6 Definitions Of Love That Everyone Should Know

People say love is pure, painful, sweet, and dreadful — all at once. The truth is, love is a basic necessity in everyone’s life. Everyone needs to be loved to live a proper and healthy life. Love has various definitions. Ask someone and they will give you their own definition of love. Love is a variety of feelings, emotions, and attitude. For some love is more than just being interested physically in someone, it’s an emotional attachment.

  

Love is more of a feeling that a person feels for another person. People often confuse love and lust. Love means to be deeply committed and connected to someone or something. The basic meaning of love is to feel more than liking towards someone. It is a bond that two people share

1. Love is never rushing into relationships 

Give time to yourself and your partner. Take things slow. Know their likes and dislikes. Analyze that would you be willing to share a common bond in the following years. Every person has some habits that would be annoying to you. Think — would you be still sharing the same bond when you see the dark side of a person?

2. Love is not being jealous 

There is no room for jealousy and possessiveness in cases where true love is really there. Being protective is a part of a relationship, but there should be a healthy understanding. Being too much involved can make the other person suffocated in the relationship. They may be having an ex with whom they share an understanding as a friend, but it didn’t work out when they were dating. That is the reason they moved on and now are with you.

3. Love is giving yourself a chance

Just because you both had a conflict in opinion about something doesn’t mean things won’t work out. Give yourself a chance. Your perception and your partner’s perception may differ. Sometimes, that is what makes life exciting!

4. Love is to stop expecting

Stop expecting doesn’t mean to give up on you. But do not expect your partner to do things exactly what you thought they would be doing. It is not right. Your expectations in your relationship may be different from what your partner’s expectation of you is. Respect the fact that they are a little different from you. The more you try to change a person and try to make them act according to you, the less attached they will be with you.

5. Love is maintaining privacy

With social media readily available to share all your problems and people ready to jump to your rescue, we tend to discuss issues over the internet more than we do in person. Never do that. Maintain privacy in your relationship. Talk out the issues with your partner. Don’t use the platform of social media to complain about something that is wrong between you two. A little privacy to your relationship is required.

6. Love is avoiding misunderstandings

It is easy to have a misunderstanding when you have a conflict of opinion. Try to avoid it. Give a chance to let your partner put forward their point of view. If they are wrong, try talking to them about why you do think are they wrong. Don’t jump to conclusions and create a drama. This is very unhealthy to your relationship.
Ultimately, love is accepting the other person for who they are.  Encouraging your partner to achieve their dream and respecting each other is true love. True love is a divine feeling that gives a feeling of being complete. It is worth fighting and taking efforts for each other. Love is being there for each other through the thick and thin.  Love cannot be defined in words but can be expressed through actions. Love is being someone’s strength and love can be found in small gestures.

The Benefits and Usage of Aloe Vera

When people hear about aloe, they often will think immediately of the bottle of green gel that gets brought out every time someone has a sunburn.  While aloe is indeed a fantastic topical aid, treating red and peeling skin isn’t the only purpose this incredible plant serves.

 
  

Having been used medicinally for thousands of years, aloe can be traced back to ancient Egypt where pictures of the plant appear on pyramids and alongside the Pharaohs buried within.  Due to it’s ability to remedy so many maladies, aloe was once referred to as “the plant of immortality”.  To this day the plant is often grown, purchased, and used to treat a wide variety of issues.
Let’s take a look at seven scientifically based benefits that this gift from nature can provide.

1. Aloe Vera Provides Antioxidant and Antibacterial Properties

Aloe contains a family of substances known as polyphenols which are converted into powerful antioxidants for the body.  For this reason, more and more people are adding aloe vera juice to their occasional diet.  Thought to help rid the digestive tract of toxins and impurities, the juice, which looks and tastes just like water, can be purchased at most health food stores.  Drinking just a cup of the juice can provide a powerful punch of antioxidants to the human body which can help fight off harmful bacteria.

2.  Aloe Vera Juice Reduces Plaque

Don’t enjoy swishing with the powerful and chemically laden mouthwashes on the market?  Opt for a mouthful of aloe vera juice instead.  It may taste like water, but according to dental studies, aloe vera juice has reaped the same benefits of some of the strongest brands of mouthwash on the market.
The antibacterial properties of aloe kill off Steptococcus mutans and Candida albicans that are found in the mouth and can lead to plaque and tartar if not treated. The alkalizing properties of the plant are beneficial toprevent hair loss. Aloe vera can help to bring the scalp and hair’s pH to a more desirable level and free the skin from extensive sebum, which can suffocate hair follicles, causing thinning and brittleness of hair.

3. Aloe Vera Can Relieve Canker Sores

The next time you have a painful canker sore in your mouth, instead of reaching for a tube of dental medicine that often doesn’t bring lasting relief, try an aloe patch instead.  In a study performed on 180 people with recurrent mouth ulcers, the aloe patch was proven to effectively reduce the size and symptoms of the sores.  If you don’t have a patch on hand, rubbing the plant’s gel directly on the sore will yield the same results.

4. Aloe Vera Provides Quick Relief to Burns

The FDA approved aloe vera as a powerful burn ointment back in 1959 and while many people use it for sunburns, they often forget about aloe when they obtain burns of another nature.  Compared to conventional medicine, studies have shown time and time again that aloe reduces the healing time of burns by up to 9 days.  Bypass the pharmaceuticals and reach for the aloe gel for fast relief when treating burns.

5. Aloe Vera Improves the Efficiency of The Cardiovascular System

This powerful plant has the ability to reduce blood pressure by oxygenating the blood and helps reduce cholesterol due to its rich choline content.  Aloe has properties that allow for more efficient dilation of the blood vessels.  Whether taken in liquid or capsule form, or even applied topically, using aloe on a regular basis gives an extra boost to your hard working cardiovascular system.

6. Aloe Vera Can Be Used as a Regular Part of Your Skin Routine

Whether treating acne or attempting to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, aloe can help restore your skin’s vitality and improve the look and luster of your body’s largest organ. Used often for it’s soothing properties, aloe can be applied on sensitive or inflamed patches of skin, and can be applied after shaving to treat bumps or ingrown hairs. Due to it’s high water content, aloe can also be used to rehydrate skin, which will result in a glowing and radiant complexion. Even if you do not apply it directly, you can purchase lotion with aloe added to it.

7. Aloe Vera Helps Increase Vitamin Absorption

In a study conducted by the University of California’s Davis Medical Center, aloe vera was proven to help the body absorb vitamin C and B12. In this day and age, with food genetically modified and altered, often times our bodies cannot fully absorb the nutrients we ingest.  This can lead to malnutrition, which in turn leads to a host of bodily ailments and diseases. Using Aloe to increase absorption of important vitamins such as vitamin C and B12 can help the body function more efficiently and prevent malabsorption.

Sometimes nature’s miracles aren’t in test tubes or fancy bottles lining the pharmacy, but growing in our yards or in pots on a window sill.  Aloe vera is such a versatile and powerful plant that it has withstood vigorous testing by the FDA and proven time and time again that it is in a league of its own when it comes to medicine.  Whether you choose to grow your own plant or simply purchase it in the bottled form, aloe vera should be a part of your garden, grocery list, and regular routine.

Relationship on campus ; the do's and dont's

                   

Relationships have become something that people have misunderstood. Relationship is actually a divine orchestration which we cannot do without and I believe that with a proper understanding of it, people would grow to treasure relationships.

Relationship is an institution set up to create interaction between people so as to ensure continuity of life, balance of nature and inner satisfaction for everybody. Relationship brings men of like minds together to build a great thing, it inspires love in people for friendship. Relationship keeps the world moving and the earth spinning.

Even though there are different kinds of relationship, sexual relationship seems to be the most important for the continuity of life. The race of men will cease to exist if it vanishes, and the world will be a wasteland. Sexual relationship exist also to satisfy the urge and sexual desire of every man.
From a Nigeria-based statistics, it has been discovered that, the most enduring sexual relationships that exists are actually those that started while at school such as tertiary institutions, because at the time, folks are still young, tender and sincere, and these relationships make it through to marriage. The same cannot be spoken of for those who are already out of school and are looking for somebody they barely know to build a relationship with, most of the opportunities that surface usually end up as a “trial and error”.

 



Therefore, I am opined that, apart from learning and skill development which is imparted at school, it is also an opportunity where good relationship structures can be built.
The only disadvantage I see in engaging in sexual relationship while at school is distraction from academics, but if folks can keep themselves in check and also desist from entering relationship in the early stages of their stay at school, it can work.

Distractions are normal things for everyone to face, a universal examination that everyone go through and it should not be an excuse for not going into relationship.
However, I must highlight here that, by sexual relationships, I do not mean that the parties involved can perform illicit acts while at school, but I am talking about the beautiful sexual relationship of love, affection, hopes and passion that leads into the beautiful institution that we call “marriage”, where the certificate called “beautiful kids” is received. It should remain clean and the parties undefiled until the marriage tent has been entered.

Don’t do any of these if you are trying to get a girlfriend

  

The reason ladies choose to date your mates but not you isn’t entirely because you’re broke, which is the reason most men go for.

There’s a really simple explanation to your chronic singleness: you are doing your very best to not have a girlfriend. 

All your actions say ‘I really don’t want women to give me a chance at love’. It’s time to stop if you do any of these:

• You’re trying too hard to prove you’re a really cool guy. Most women can spot genuine attitudes from a 20 mile radius, so putting on airs will eventually work against you. You may think women like the gloss and pomp of a cool dude, but in actual fact they see you as superficial and insecure.

• Not all women are out for your money (and you don’t even have as much money as you like to believe). Things have changed over the years, women are assertive about how capable they are of looking after themselves; they wouldn’t have you insult their dignity by thinking they like you because of your money. Do you really want to not have a girlfriend? Then keep squawking about “materialistic girls” to every new girl you meet.

• You’re afraid of rejection so you treat women like trash, hoping they will sidle up to you instead. If you go to the trouble of convincing women that you’re an ass because ‘ women like bad guys’, they actually will see you as an ass and stay away from you. Not all women are looking for bad boys to date, so just come as you are.

• You say the most inappropriate things and call them jokes- Though this may not be deliberate, offensive jokes rub of women the wrong way. Your male friends may find them funny, but that’s where it ends. If you want to find love, I advise that you find more girlfriend-appropriate jokes.

Relationship on campus : Should Students Really Go Into It ?

The issue of a having relationship(s) while in school is a major one in our society. Different factions give different opinions on the effects of school relationships. Therefore, this article is solely based on on my own viewpoint. To begin with, I would like to fully lay down in my opinion the entailments of such relationships among students. This relationships are meant to be casual one with no strings attached. They are simply meant to amplify the fun of school life. However, certain people put in too much in this relationships which usually results in broken hearts. Also, school relationship is a great opportunity to learn more about the opposite sex. It helps in gaining a reasonable and general understanding of members of the opposite sex. For example, guys can learn that most girls don’t usually mean what they say. It helps one develop the tolerance of certain attitudes of their opposite counterparts. Moreover, these relationships sometimes open up opportunities to greater ones such as business partnerships and marriage. In committing to memory this point always remember that breakups could also close up certain opportunities For instance, breaking up with your future boss may not be for your own good. Therefore, you should manage these relationships carefully and treat your partner with care. Finally, school(university) is probably one of the few places with so many single people ready to mingle. Therefore, you should use the opportunity wisely and to your advantage. In conclusion, I feel that school relationships are great if properly managed and carried out in a proper moral sense. Most importantly, such relationships should not be taken too seriously in order to avoid stories that touch the heart.

Ways to know if he is into you

Not knowing where you stand in someone's life can be very frustrating, especially when you like the person.

A lot of times, women can't tell if a man is really into them, or he is merely just enjoying the thrill of the chase.If you find yourself in such a situation, here are five things you should look out for. These will help you decide if he wants you for the long haul or not.

1. He is persistent:

He will be persistent in his attempts to get closer to you, even if you are already dating. No, this does not mean he is clingy and irrationally jealous, he is just unrelenting in his efforts to completely win your heart.

He continuously shows his commitment to being with you for eternity with his words and actions.

2. He plans the future with you:

He does not make any plans without putting you in consideration. Unlike other guys who are afraid to discuss the future, he is not afraid to plan one with you at all.

Whatever his plans for the future are, they include you and he creates room to accommodate you in whatever his future plans are.

3. He shows you the deepest parts of himself:When he is with you, it is almost as if he is a completely different person. If he is shy and quiet outside, he will be playful and discuss just about anything when he is alone with you.

He lays himself bare and exposed his vulnerabilities to you. When he is alone with you, he allows his deepest and truest parts show.

4. He'd do anything to please you:

He will do everything within his power to make and keep you happy. He will go the extra mile just to bring a smile to your face, even if the trip is not convenient.

5. He will ask for your hand in marriage:

Well, that's pretty obvious. When a man wants you in his life forever, he actually asks you her to become his wife and spend the rest of her life with him.

TO THE STUDENTS WHO STUDY IN THE ROOM/HOSTEL…

 For some, the room is a chilling space and it’s meant for enjoyment of all sorts while to others it’s a library which is mostly common when all seats are filled and some decided to turn the school library to their bedrooms, then you know exam is stepping into the room. Some also prefer staying glued to their rooms in order to avoid being stalked up by mates who only stroll about the reading rooms aimlessly looking for who to call “ iwe!“, “First classer!“, “efiko!“.

This idea to some people is like barking up the wrong tree as they can hardly cope reading in the room without distractions while some are comfortable with it, it varies.

Here are some of the things to ensure if you are one of the Students Who Study In The Room/ Hostel.

KEEP YOUR PHONE FAR FROM YOU:

The truest greatness lie you will tell yourself is to keep your phone at a distance less than 20metres and claim you are reading. It works if you are using itel N205 on which the only meaningful thing you can do is text your dad, even calling a friend on such phone won’t be clear, something like future’s voice. But a blackberry user, who has pings screaming up every minute will find it difficult to ignore the messages and concentrate. You might also decide to check a friend’s updated status after being notified by Facebook, or probably check Linda Ikeji for some smart rumours. If
possible, do away with your phone while reading in your room.

DON’T ANNOUNCE YOUR AVAILABILITY:

If you are to study successfully in your room,
endeavor to make yourself seem unavailable to neighbours. This is like the best thing since sliced bread for ladies pretty ladies. It’s obviously inevitable for you to stop that guy from coming around your room even though you shunned him the previous day. Therefore, the best you could do is to pretend like you are
away for that moment in order not to be caught between two stools.

AVOID USING THE BED:

Reading in your room and you are comfortably lying on the bed with your legs
crossed? I doubt if education was that comfortable. In such condition, you are bound
to sleep off at any moment and you will discover you have actually gained nothing. That is a far cry from what is referred to as serious reading. I’d rather you got a study desk with a chair of corresponding height and make use of it.

KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT:

“Messi better pass Ronaldo na!”, “Nicki Minaj’s assets are artificial!”, “Mr Ibu has a pumped stomach!“…These are useless arguments that you can’t help but listen to in students’ hostels. You must learn to keep your mouth and ears
shut when issues like this ensue. If you are the type that can’t do but jump up and take the matter to the head as if Nicki Minaj was your
cousin then kindly pack up your books and head to the library, because you will definitely get distracted.

The wise man bridges the gap to success by laying out the path by means of which he can get from where he is to where he wants to go. If you know you are not the type that can read in the hostel, don’t deceive yourself. Head to the library to read what you have to read and leave the rest to God.

HOW TO EARN EXTRA INCOME AS A STUDENT

 The best thing after fried egg is making extra
income as an undergraduate, it makes you partially or totally independent on your parents and most importantly, financially buoyant. I guess what’s riding through your mind now is “ yahoo!!! runs babe!!!” Cut those crap. There are so many legit means of making money as a student, it’s all about being smart. There are countless numbers of people who make huge amount of money with their common sense by just doing sideline activities within the campus.

The following are some practicable means to raise some liquid cash for yourself as an undergraduate. So, read along, How To Earn Extra Income As A Student:

Buying and Reselling of Laptops and
Mobile gadgets : Nigerians, especially students love splashy trends, minding not the exorbitant prices. In fact, exorbitant gadgets are considered a do or die affair by some extravagant children of pot-bellied politicians. It’s somewhat easy, you can easily get these gadgets at give away prices from online shops like Alibaba and Aliexpress and resell at the rate of up to 40% gain.

Applying For Scholarship/Bursary
Awards : It’s always wise to draw up a list of
scholarship awards available to Nigerian
Students, especially the ones you are eligible
for. The amount awarded as bursary or
scholarships could range from N50,000 to
N250,000 per annum depending on who and on what basis the award is being given.

Teaching/Tutorials : Package yourself and arrange some interested students as you organize tutorial classes and charge them peanuts. You’ll get a mad rush if they know you teach well but charge little. You can even
organize tutorial classes for University students for courses where there’s mass failure or students have difficulty passing. Mind you, if you know nothing about something you claim to teach, students might fall your hand though.

Selling of Recharge Cards : Sounds ridiculous? Just go and ask those who do so in
student hostels. By the time you rake in a gain of #300 per day, making roughly #9,000 per month, you are a step ahead of being broke.

Own A Website : This is a no-brainer as the details behind it is not far-fetched. Though it sounds somehow technical, which is really not. It’s interestingly profitable for a student
considering the circumstances around the world we are in.

Freelancing : Do you have any special skill probably needed by some people out there, then serch online for freelancing websites. Fiverr, for instance.

Participating In Talent Hunts : Manifest your talent in school and earn real cash and
pretty healthy fame. If you can rap, dance, sing, design, decorate, act, even somersault, what are you waiting for?
Grab your passion and take it to where the cash is.

Cracking Network Provider Cheats And Selling Data Bundle : This is also somehow technical but a very huge way of making money as a student on campus. Students can’t do without surfing the net, which can’t be done without their phones getting equipped with the required browsing data. They will flood your door if you have the know-how of such and you are ready to offer the service.

Bead Making : This is a very lucrative business, that also requires a very low start up
capital. All you have to do is acquire the required skills.

Movie Rental/Supply Services : Students do claim school is hard but still factorise out that time to watch movies. You can also factorise out a living out of that, supply them with as much movies as they might want to
watch, charging proportionately. Equip yourself with latest movies and post notices around the hood about your service, they will
come. Just sit back and watch them in 3D.

Organizing Events : After carrying out feasibility studies on what kind of event might pull traffic. Venture into it. e.g Organise an
event where you call the local rap champions to perform. You pay them penny while those who also come to watch pay penny, you will probably get a profit at the end of the day.
“Probably”, because if people end up not turning up, you are on your own o.
