QUOTABLE QUOTES- SETTING GOALS* You must have long term goals to keep you from being frustrated by

short term failures- Charles C. Noble

*lifes ups and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine

your values and goals. Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to

build the life you want Marsha Sinetar

*The tragedy of life doesnt lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy

lies in having no goals to reach- Benjamin Mays

*Think little goals and expect l ittle achievements. Think big goals and

win big success. David Joseph Schwatz.

*whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take small steps.-

Helmut Schmidt3

The best intention and goal

will not work without actualstrategies. Too many guysand girls failed to guard theirpurity until marriage justbecause they did not haveconcrete strategy to face the

challenge. We just have toknow in this life, when wefail to plan, then we plan tofail.. Provided below aresome guidelines from variousauthors and experiences fromothers that may be useful toequip you:

? Establish yourstandard. Write it down.

? Do NOT go alone tothe house or room of anyoneof the opposite sex. Mostsexual intercourse betweenteenage boys and girls takesplace in the home of one or theother while the parents areaway. Date rape, seduction, andmere rumor leave countlessvictims with tattered reputationsevery day.Become an expert at saying"no" and mean it. Whensomeone asks you to drink, tell'em you don't look good in alampshade (and smile). Whensomeone tries to force sex, tell

? Beware, there isno clear line between nointercourse andintercourse, everything ishappening gradually fromwhite-light gray-gray-dark gray-black. One

small thing will lead tobigger things and it ismuch easier to cool downsmall fire. Even mucheasier if you didn't start thefire in the first place.Love is a decision, not afeeling. The most lovingdecision you can make

Wise& InspirationSaying

No one actually plans deliberately to fail. No one decides in advance to live alife of underachievement and frustration, but by failing to decide exactly whatyou want, you end up living unconsciously and unintentionally by the law ofaccident. Then , what happens to you in life will appear to be a series ofrandom occurrences over which you have little control.

To show how prevalent this attitude is, in a recent survey, 63 percent of

respondent said that they believe that the only way they were going to be ableto retire financially independent was if they won a lottery of some kind. Thismeans that majority of people think that their financial lives are simply a greatgamble in which they exert very little control. They are living by accident.

People who live by the law of accident tend to be negative, pessimistic,and helpless and feel as though they have little control over their lives. Peopleliving under the shadow of the law of accident blame others for their problems.They continually make excuses, perform well below their potentials, andindulge in various form of escapism, such as endless television watching,alcohol, drugs, and aimless socializing.

The wonderful thing about goal is that the very act of setting goals freeyou from living under the law of accident and puts you squarely under the lawof control and under the law of cause and effect. The setting of goals gives youa feeling of power, purpose and forward direction. Goal setting puts you in

charge of your life and makes you feel terrific about yourself.This is why goal setting is called the Master skill' of success. It is the

one skill that is probably more important to your overall happiness and well-being than any other skill that you can develop. It puts you in the driver's seat.-------Brain Tracy

or this Rivers State born screen beau, who hails from Ikwerre

part of the State, swimming in the waters within a short time in

the razzmatazz industry in Nigeria, has thrown herself in the

news again. bad press is not new to her, and as such, she is

not concerned about it as she once said that she has grown a

very thick skin to whatever anybody writes or says about her.

This position of hers has made people wonder how a lady of

her status would not pay a listening ear to what people have

been saying about Unarguably one of Nollywood most

controversial actress, Tonto Dikeh, who has had a quick rise to

fame her. Though some have said that the fact that she was not

brought up by her biological mother, who Tonto said died while

she was age three, could be the major factor for her nonchalant

attitude to life, others have argued that she is not the only

person who lost her mother at an early stage in life, so she has

no excuse to be controversial.This time, this lady who almost

won the 2006 edition of AMBO Next Movie Star, a reality TV

show, is being alleged to have been sold to the devil.

The Devil Tatoo

I Have 57 TatoosThis time, this lady who almost won the 2006 edition of AMBO Next Movie

Star, a reality TV show, is being alleged to have been sold to the devil.

This allegation is coming courtesy of a tattoo picture of Tonto on her back,

which she posted for Afri-Grandeur magazine. The said picture has generated

lots of comments and arguments among fans of this light skinned actress.

A closer look at the controversial photograph reveals a diabolic horn clinched

with a set of fingers capping a heart tied with a long hair. This, as argued by

the accusers, is a sign of the devil. They believe that only those that worship,

or have a connection with or have sold themselves to the devil carry and bear

such sign (horn).The question on the lips of many is; 'why would this petrol

chemical engineer-cum-actress go this far?

Why would she associate herself with the devil, when she should have

pitched tent with her maker?
