Before the ‘Angel’ of success arrives…


Complied by Sandra Nnaemeka
Clifford and Susan featured in an interview in one of the choicest organization in Africa and before them were the stakeholders and CEO of the company. These set of interviewers can be intimidating, of course questions were asked simultaneously but, Susan appeared apprehensive while Clifford was bold and courageous. His confidence speaks volume. Everyone was pleased with him and the level of confidence and intellectual abilities he displayed; it was exceptional.
Interestingly, Clifford was asked to come back for the job because he wowed the interviewers. Indeed he was perceived as would add value to the organization, the CEO muttered. Susan was further disqualified.
While they both walked out of the auditorium, Susan asked Clifford how he got the big break. It’s magical. He answered in a low tune:
“I prepared myself for success”
Susan quickly got grasped of the principle contained in those words. She applied same and shortly she got an offer with a credible organization she was satisfied with.
Here is a quote extracted from a fabulous book, ‘’Do less, achieve more” by: Chin Ning Chu.
“Before the Angel of success arrives in your life, you should devote yourself to preparing to meet her. Polish your craft and strengthen your body to be fit so that you can do your job and enjoy success when it comes. Sharpen your mind and spirit so they are ready to face the challenges that accompany the visitation from the angel of success.”
“If you are not ready when the Angel knocks, she will flee. And who knows when she will make it back around to your door again?”
Wow! This suggests to me that you just have to be ready and prepared at all times.
Preparedness is a value that should be adopted as a lifestyle for our daily living. Only the prepared sees opportunity and grab it. To succeed you need to prepare for it.
Here is 2018 glaring at you, so crystal clear. What are you willing to make out of it? How will you make this year count and how prepared are you for every challenge that might come your way?

How To Identify Someone’s True Personality
There are times when you begin to observe somebody in your neighborhood, office, church or place of business. It might be someone you are beginning to like or someone you have interest in.
If it is any those reasons then you are likely to observe and decipher the person’s personality. However, here are some of the clues or things you need to look out for:
Observe the way they treat common people out there, e.g. Beggars, homeless people, waitress, cleaners etc. You can use this to measure their level of sympathy and empathy.
How do they talk about other people, do they mock, belittle and gossip about them? Such people cannot be trusted.
During difficulties and challenges in life, observe their behaviour. Are they calm or do they let their emotion overwhelm them? It’s either the person has the confidence or lacks confidence.
Anytime you are having a conversation with them: can they maintain eye contact or do they avoid eye contact?
Do you have a friend that remembers you only anytime he or she needs your assistance? It is a sign that the person doesn’t value a deep relationship and he or she is just using you.

GrassRoots.ng has a chat with Ebube…enjoy the dialogue


Can we meet you
My name is Ebube Rebecca Okeke, a graduate of Economics from Federal University Lokoja. I am 19 years old and I hail from Enugu State; Isi-Uzo Local Government Area to be precise.
Tell us about this big win of yours
To the glory of God; I emerged the Best graduating student from the Department of Economics and the Best graduating student from the Faculty of Arts and Social sciences with a CGPA of 4:71.
I particularly want to thank God for the grace, wisdom and strength. I also want to specially appreciate my mom; my best friend, mentor, role model and teacher. She thought me the value of hard-work, goal setting and goal getting. I’m grateful mom. To all of my lecturers, the entire staff of federal university Lokoja, my friends and family, Thank you for the support
I started this journey in the year 2015 and made straight A’s with a GP of 5.00 during my first semester in the university. That semester was tough and amazing. I learnt a lot, not just academically but also about the environment I found myself and how to make proper and beneficial decisions. I learnt the importance of relationships and diligence too. I made some pretty amazing friends, not just with students alone but with lecturers too and I’m grateful.
Every success story has bumps, but with the help of God, my family and friends I overcame. To everyone reading this, in which ever field you might be in you’ll definitely encounter challenges but don’t let it stop you, keep pushing.


To every student, read like it all depends on you, pray like it all depends on God and get a skill or develop your passion. Improve yourself mentally and other wise. The world’s changing, you should too.
How was it like growing up
I had an amazing child hood; went to the best primary and secondary schools; Spring Nursery and Primary school and Harmony Secondary school. Mom was very strict about the kind of movies and TV shows I watched; my social media activities and all that. It was annoying then, but now I’m grateful
Was there a time when teachers or mom had to force you to read?
Teachers; No. Mom; No. She basically just encouraged me, advised me and helped me through it. She was my lesson teacher. We did all my assignments together. During my undergraduate days, there were courses I didn’t really understand like Philosophy, Mom would read them and make notes/summaries for me.
In this era, some students believe it’s all about sorting, how can one stand out?
In this era, sorting isn’t a way out. If you run out of money, you’ll give your body and if they get tired what then do you give? Be diligent, don’t give the lecturers to put a negative tab on you. Attend classes, write all of your tests and assignments and submit on due dates


What’s your next plan?
To begin the real journey towards greatness. To start living and working towards my dreams and make impacts.
Congratulation, Ebube.
Thank you so much for this great opportunity and the feature.
