SUCCESS OBSTACLES



OVERCOMING OBSTACLES TO SUCCESS
The way to success is upward on the hill-top and not downwards. Climbing is difficult and tasking but it is the success way. On this way are sure obstacles you will meet. Some of the obstacles are right within you, others around while some are across the way. Looking up at success on the hill-top, your first obstacle is the thought within you – can I ever get there? Won’t I fall if I try to climb up there? This wrong mental attitude at looking at certain subjects, topics and assignments mad a lot of students to have failed. Remove the fear of failure. No student is a failure until he lies down never to try gain.
Rough surfaces, stones and pebbles abound on the hill top way of success. Yet you need to realize if the way up the hill were smooth, it will be slippery to climb. Suppose everyone who passed through secondary school and university has just been given certificate without studying, doing assignments and facing examinations. There would have been no competent teachers in our school, doctors in the hospitals, engineers in our industries and managers over the establishments.
Obstacles mould us into the very shape of success we are to achieve. It is upon the stones on the pathway of success you are to place your steps to climb higher. Obstacles offer opportunities to excel. Conflicts, disturbances, discouragements, poverty, difficult subjects and past failures should be made your stepping stone to success.
How then can we overcome obstacles? Every obstacle is a stepping stone to success. Silent every thought of failure, and impossibility within you and think right up. Set your mind positively right knowing fully well that you will overcome. Single out each obstacle and know what it is. Study and search for possible solutions to it. Stand and face the obstacle with the prescribed solution or the way out. Seek for assistance from your teacher, parents or experienced people as the case may be.
As you overcome each obstacle on the way to success, it will strengthen you to face others. Therefore never give up. You can overcome and you will overcome.

A TEACHER

WHO IS A TEACHER? Many people believe  a teacher is just someone who teaches in a classroom, little do they know that a teacher is much more. I will take time to explain more on who a teacher is as we read on. A teacher is commonly known as someone who teaches i.e. in a classroom. A teacher is very necessary in the educational system because if we have no teacher, the coming generation would be left ignorant. A teacher is a pacesetter. Who is a pacesetter? A pacesetter is someone who gets good examples for others to follow. A teacher sets the pace in many areas; Educationally, Religiously, Morally and Socially. In an educational system, students see their teacher, especially the little ones, as a person who cannot make mistakes find children even go to the extent of saying 'that is not how my teacher taught us'. In the religious aspect, Christians and Muslims and even traditional worshipers look up to their religious leaders to lead them aright which clearl...

HERO

My Teacher, My Hero A hero is often imagined as someone with extraordinary powers, wearing a cape, or saving the day in a dramatic fashion. However, not all heroes fight in battlefields or appear in movies. Some work quietly, shaping lives and building futures without expecting fame or applause. My hero is my teacher — the one who has left a lasting imprint on my heart and mind. A Guiding Light From my first day in the classroom, I could sense that my teacher was different. They greeted each student with a warm smile and an encouraging tone, making us feel valued and respected. Their voice carried not just knowledge, but also care, passion, and sincerity. This combination made the classroom a place of curiosity rather than fear, where we were eager to learn, ask questions, and express our ideas freely. Passion for Teaching My teacher’s dedication goes beyond delivering lessons. They make every topic come alive — whether it is a complex sub...

HEART OF A GREAT TEACHER

WHAT LIES IN THE HEART OF A GREAT TEACHER? KINDNESS A great teacher shows kindness to students, colleagues, parents and those around her/him. My favorite saying is “kindness makes the world go around”. It truly changes the environment in the classroom and school. Being a kind teacher helps students feel welcomed, cared for and loved. COMPASSION Teaching is a very humanistic profession, and compassion is the utmost feeling of understanding, and showing others you are concerned about them. A compassionate teacher models that characteristic to the students with her/his actions, and as a result students will be more open to understanding the world around them. A teacher m ust take outside factors into con side ration , for example , if a student has just lost his/her loved one, the teacher should be sensitive to that and adjust accordingly . EMPATHY Empathy is such an important trait to have and to try to develop in ourselves and our students. Being able to put yourself...
