The Lady I Wooed on the Bus...



It was a particular morning sometimes last week and I had hopped on a long bus heading towards Lagos Island probably for work, business or for whatever the need was. I got my ticket and I was comfortably seated and no sooner than I sat did I have a pretty lady come sit down on the second chair beside me.
I had just sat down to continue to reading a book and then went on to catch up with emails and numerous notifications from Facebook or WhatsApp. I was drawn into what I was doing and did not even look to my side to engage my bus partner like I usually do. While on-board public buses- especially the long BRT buses, more often than not, I try to engage or chat up the person sitting beside me. This could be a bad or good habit and the experience may vary depending on the nature of the people, but I always like to say an 'hi' no matter what.

I love reading while commuting, it's a luxury you get moving around when not driving but while driving, the experience of listening to audio books is also a time saver- an education behind the wheels, depending on what you listen to.
When I am on Public buses, I do a greeting or a chat with the person beside me if it's necessary , then I will settle down to look around and pore over some pages of a good book as we move along. Once in a while I will sit beside a man or woman who will engage me further than I intended depending on the topic of discussion, some will decry the state of the economy or the weather or what-not or what needs to be and I will air my views with no arguments... some arguments usually are unfruitful, leading really to no fruitful ends.
Now, back to the day and time on the bus with this pretty lady beside me because this is about her, it is her story ...
It is the story of the lady, I had 'wooed' or talked into considering taking her art work to the next level while sitting with me on the bus.
I looked beside me away from the book and she was scrolling through her phone, then I continued reading and enjoying Stepping into Greatness by Francis Wale Oke, a very great book. As the bus moved on and the bouts of breeze began to flow in, I began to notice some activities going on beside, I settled down and enjoyed the story... I mean the lessons or teachings from the book...  This time I had to look at my 'neighbor' to know what was really going on...I saw this bright green colored paper craft she held in her hands, she had brought out a tube of white glue from her leather bag and began to fix some shining stones on the well-designed crown craft, at that point I decided to engage her in a short chat, while appreciating her creativity, I got to know about her works in crafts and the business she has around it, I listened until I popped up the question to which she gave an answer that left me dazed!

I asked this lady the question...'How Do you use social media to showcase your arts and crafts'? Then she replied 'I am not a social media person '. I paused to digest or understand her answer carefully. She elicits from her answer a form of seriousness and sense of principle that leaves no time whatsoever for such ‘frivolities’ as being on social media. I was stunned by this response...'Who does that in this age?' I thought to myself.

I actually know a couple of lovely people who will never be caught dead on social media but most of them are not millennial and some even make use of social media as a 'spying or close monitoring tool' yet, they are 'not social media persons'.
I smiled and asked this lady 'Why?' she wasn't going to consider the leverage of social media, she replied, telling me she gets her job mostly through referrals or once in a while from a friend who helped her put something on Instagram sometimes ago. She proved strongly that what if there were no such things as social media platforms, would she not go ahead and do her thing?
Now the bus had almost gotten to her bus top but I did manage to push in a point with an analogy...
I asked If she ran a successful business but she could use some help and here am I as a friend holding to her a cheque for a millionaire dollars to her with no strings attached would she take it from me or just shooed me away without collecting it?
She replied in the affirmative. Then I explained to her the new world that awaits her if she could use the free leverage of social media and stop leaving lots of money on the table.
I went on to share few tips and share some paid solution plan with her to help take her business to the next level.
How does this relate to you?
Are you leaving money on the table or are you ready to take hold of my proverbial 1 million dollar cheque in an online paid class? Comment 'Yes' if this applies to you.

Keep rising to greatness

  1. Take your time while delivering your speech. One sure fired way for the audience to know that you are nervous is to rush through your speech. Instead, take a deep breath and calm your nerves before beginning. Speak slightly slower than normal when giving a speech to ensure that your audience understands what you are saying.

    Keep the right mindset. It's okay to be nervous. Most people are nervous prior giving a speech. Thinking negatively isn't okay. If you think you will bomb the speech, you probably will. Thinking the speech will go well means it probably will.

    Try to find humor in the situation if things do not go as planned. There are many variables when you speak in public, which means that there are many opportunities for things to Download music Wizkid – Manya mp3 mp4 3gp go wrong. The microphone or projector may not work, there may be an interruption in power or someone may enter the room in the midst of your speech. Try to take things in stride. Taking things too seriously can result in you having a meltdown, so try to laugh off any issues that may arise.

    Do not use a laser pointer to run over words as you read them from a screen. This gives your audience the idea that you think they are incapable of reading for themselves. Once they begin to feel insulted, it will be much harder for you to convince them to listen to you.

    Practice makes perfect, and helps you master what you plan to convey. You can practice in front of a mirror or record your speech so that you can critique it to see areas that you Download video: My Kids and i - Season 1 3gp & mp4 can improve. The best way to improve your speech is to practice with family members and friends. They are capable of providing you with constructive criticism.

    Be sure as shooting to nominate beneficial center physical contact with your consultation. If you are rattling disposed and have a go at it your actor's line well, this should be well-fixed. Facial expression roughly the way in a relaxed way of life. Work centre get through and colligate with individuals Here and at that place passim the interview. In this way, populate testament find that you are really addressing them.

    When you know ahead of time that you will be speaking in public, dress appropriately. You can dress down if you are speaking to a group of children at a summer camp, but dress more formally if you are making remarks at a business luncheon. Avoid flashy colors and distracting accessories. You want the audience to pay attention to your message rather than to your clothing or jewelry.

    Do not be afraid to let your audience know that you have no idea of the answer to some of their questions. People will respect your honesty and understand that you are Download music Wizkid - Let’s Celebrate mp3 mp4 3gp human. This is much better than rambling on trying to convince them you know what is going on when you don't.

    When you are public speaking in public, thither is unremarkably a meter human body that you pauperism to cohere to. Arrive at certain that you convey to your discover points before your clip is up. Otherwise, you volition deliver wasted wholly of our clock since the interview will not birth accepted the content you were Mp3 Download, movies 3gp & mp4 download to render.

    Utilize a timer when you are preparing to give a speech. You'll be able to add or subtract content to keep it in your time limit. If you find your presentation is short, get some more material by doing more research. Finally, do not rush when giving your speech.
