Life Hack Stories & Experiences

There was once a slave who was treated cruelly by his master. One day, he couldn’t take it anymore and ran to the forest to escape. There, he chanced upon a lion who couldn’t walk because of the thorn in its paw. Although scared, the slave mustered his courage and took out the thorn in the lion’s paw. When the lion was finally free of the thorn, he ran into the forest and didn’t harm the slave.

Sometime later, the slave was caught by his master along with some animals in the forest. The master then ordered the slave to be thrown into the lion’s den. When the slave saw the lion, he recognized it as the lion he helped in the forest. The slave was able to escape the den unharmed, and he freed all the other animals.

Moral of the story:

The good you did will always have a way of returning to you. So do good deeds and be kind to others, and the world will be kind to you.

There was once a shepherd boy who liked to play tricks. One day, while he was watching over the herd, the boy decided to play a trick and cried “wolf! wolf!”. The people who heard rushed over to help him. But they were disappointed when they saw that there was no wolf and the boy was laughing at them. The next day, he did it again and people rushed to his aid only to be disappointed once again. On the third day, the boy saw a wolf devouring one of his sheep and cried for help. But the people who heard him thought this is just another of the boy’s pranks so no one came to help him. That day, the boy lost some of his sheep to the wolf.

Moral of the story:

If you always lie and cheat on other people, there will come a time when no one will believe you anymore.

Yesterday, I excitedly brought home a brand-new Oraimo headset, looking forward to immersing myself in the groove of my favorite songs. As I unpacked it, carefully untangling the wires, a sense of anticipation filled the air. Little did I know that this headset would soon surprise me in an unexpected way.

This morning, as I prepared to enjoy some music, I picked up the headset, only to realize that one of its earpieces was completely dismantled. Disappointment washed over me, shattering the excitement I had felt just a day before. It seemed my new purchase was flawed, and my heart sank at the thought of having to replace or repair it.

Determined to salvage what I could, I decided to seek the help of a technical specialist. With a glimmer of hope, I carefully placed the dismantled earpiece in a bag and made my way to a nearby repair shop.

Stepping inside the shop, I was greeted by a friendly technician who noticed my disheartened expression. I explained the situation, my voice tinged with disappointment.

To my surprise, the technician's eyes lit up with a knowing smile. He reached for the earpiece and examined it closely, his fingers deftly navigating the delicate components. As he worked, he began explaining that the ability to dismantle the headphone was actually a unique feature, designed to allow easy repairs and customization.

Paying close attention to his skilled hands, I marveled as he demonstrated how each part could be detached and put back together effortlessly. His passion for technology and his expertise were evident in the way he handled the intricate pieces.

After a few moments, he successfully repaired the earpiece and handed it back to me, good as new. I was amazed at how effortlessly he had fixed it, and I couldn't help but express my gratitude for his invaluable assistance.

With a smile, the technician refused to accept any payment, explaining that it was his pleasure to share his knowledge and skill. He wished me well and encouraged me to explore the endless possibilities of customization with my newly discovered feature.

Thousands of years ago, there was a king named Randall, who did a good deed for Akdar — a spirit of nature. Dionysus, the god of wine, then granted him a wish.

For his wish, Randall asked that whatever he touched would turn to diamond. Despite Dionysus’ efforts to prevent it, Randall pleaded that this was a wonderful and amazing wish, so it was bestowed.

Excited about his newly-earned powers, Randall started touching all kinds of things, turning each item into pure diamond.

But soon, Randall became hungry. As he picked up a piece of food, he found he couldn’t eat it. It had turned to diamond in his hand.

Very hungry, Randall groaned, in pain, weakness as a result of hunger, “I’ll starve! I may die! Perhaps this was not such an excellent not wonderful wish as I have thought after all! It seems I've made a mistake!, I would have wished for something else!”

Seeing his dismay and grief, Randall’s beloved son threw his arms around him to comfort him, and he, too, turned to diamond. “The diamond touch is no blessing,” Randall cried.

From a distance, I watched with curiosity as she arranged her cooking utensils, her face beaming with a jaunty smile.

My confusion grew as I wondered what she could be preparing that brought her so much joy. I speculated that perhaps she was cooking for her boyfriend, I couldn't tell but to look from the upper floor hoping to see.
Then, in an instant, she ignited her gas stove, and the flames dancing from the cylinder hinted at the excitement her guest must be feeling, anticipating a taste of this delicious delicacy.

To my surprise, it turned out she was preparing yam porridge with green vegetables seasoned on top. I observed from afar as she skillfully peeled and sliced the yam, her knife moving with carefulness in every move

I briefly lost sight of her as I got distracted, but the aroma of the cooking food soon reached me, leaving no doubt that an expert chef was in control.
When the food was finally ready, she placed the pot on a flat surface, prepared to serve her guest. It made me ponder, "Do we still have such hospitable ladies in Nigeria?"

Just as she had carefully laid out her cooking tools, she carefully put them away. I could only imagine the rest of the story, but I was sure her guest was well taken care of, and their weekend was undoubtedly a fulfilling one.

It is a Monday, and for me, a college student, it began with a deafening alarm that seemed to ring earlier than ever. I had an 8 AM practical exam that I hadn't had much time to prepare for due to a series of late-night study sessions.

Rushing to the exam, I realized that I had forgotten my student ID, which was required to enter the testing center. Panicked, I had to sprint back to my lodge and then back to the testing center to barely make it on time.
The practical exam was a brain-wracking experience, but it was only the beginning of an hectic day. After the test, we had back-to-back classes.

As I headed to the library to catch up on assignments, I got a text from my roommate, saying he had locked himself out of our shared apartment. I had to rush back to help him, causing me to lose valuable study time.

I returned to the library, only to realize that I had left my laptop charger at the lodge. Desperate to save my dying laptop, I borrowed a charger from a fellow student, promising to return it later.

With the day drawing to a close, I couldn't help but reflect on the hectic nature of my student life. The ups and downs, the academic pressures, and the constant juggling of responsibilities were certainly challenging. Yet, these experiences are shaping me into a resilient and determined individual, ready to handle whatever life throws at me.

Until next time, adios

Frustrated hisses escaped my lips as I woke up to the reality of power outage, it's been 5 days already and we've been living like barbarians in the modern age, the power outage had a crippling effect for a student-filled environment. "When are they going to fix this?" I sighed, scrambling my hands in the dark to find my phone, it was 31 minutes to 6am, the area maintained a low noise as people were already up for the day's activities.

There is not much I can do but at least I won't sit and wail the whole day, I said a word of prayer and sprung out of bed, stretching with every morning energy left, I let out a loud yawn, "No hope for electricity, I will go charge-" I concluded and grabbed my charger.

Outside, I was unable to think clearly, it all felt like the outage was messing with my brain as well or maybe the morning hasn't kicked in yet. I went downstairs to ease myself into the soil of nature, that is the best place to be right now. Right there, I remembered an article about the benefits of standing barefooted on the ground, I gave it a try but quickly put my feet back into my slides.

"I've been away from nature for so long, is this how everyone lives now?" Feeling indifferent, I stood there reconciling with nature, maybe the blackout was for this purpose, "I have to start doing this often. But for now, I'll find a place to recharge my dying device."

My name is Betty, and I have always been the kind of person who strives for excellence. Ever since I started school, my goal has been to secure the first position in my class. I studied hard, completed all my assignments on time, and participated actively in class discussions. But no matter how much effort I put in, I could never seem to rise above the third position in class.

Feeling frustrated, I began to wonder what I was doing wrong. I observed my classmates who consistently outperformed me, and I noticed something they all had in common - they were never distracted. While I tried to study, there was always something pulling my attention away, whether it was my favorite TV show, my friends visiting, and the like.

I started by setting stricter daily routines. I blocked out specific hours for focused studying, ensuring that I was free from any potential distractions. I turned off my phone entirely or put it on silent mode, refusing to let it steal my attention. As for my friends, I kindly explained my goals to them and asked for their support in keeping me accountable.

Furthermore, I chose to make my spare time count. Instead of mindlessly scrolling through social media or watching random videos, I sought out educational content to fill my leisure hours, scrolling through @mindviewers news updates and educative articles. I discovered countless informative websites, read books on various subjects, and explored documentaries that expanded my knowledge. I found myself growing intellectually even during my downtime.

Weeks turned into months, and I soon realized the positive impact of my newfound focus. My grades started improving significantly, and I noticed myself climbing up the leaderboard. I was finally approaching that elusive first position that I had always chased after.

The day arrived when the final rankings were announced. I held my breath as my teacher called out the positions one by one. When I heard my name being announced as the top performer in the class, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with joy. All my hard work and dedication had paid off. I had finally achieved the goal I had been striving for.

Once, on a blistering summer's day, after my last exam, I embarked on what would become my worst journey ever. It all began innocently enough when I decided to travel the exact same day my exams ended which was supposed to end before noon. As usual I already have my lodge arrange and ready the previous day.

fortunately for the exam ended as expected, i packed my bags, kissed my friends goodbye, and set off on the long drive to delta state. Little did I know that this journey would test my patience and resilience in ways I had never imagined.

The trouble started when I hit an unexpected traffic jam on the highway. What should have been a simple drive turned into a seemingly endless ordeal of honking horns and frustrated drivers. Hours crept by, and my excitement began to wane. I cursed my luck and tried to keep my spirits high, reminding myself that the destination would be worth it.

As if the traffic wasn't bad enough, dark clouds began to gather overhead, threatening rain. I google map to see how far we've gone, hoping for some distraction, not long the drive tone on to a radio station, only to be met with a weather report predicting a severe thunderstorm in the area. Panic set in as I realized that we still have a long way to go and the time is far spent. With each passing minute, the storm drew closer, and my anxiety grew.

Finally, the traffic started moving, but it was too late. The heavens opened up, and rain poured down in torrents. I struggled to see through the blurred windshield, and the winding mountain roads became treacherous. Lightning illuminated the sky, followed by deafening thunderclaps that rattled my nerves.

On reaching the very first bus stop the driver entered to drop a few passengers, just on a reverse so the journey can continue hoping for a better and fast drive this time around. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, we heard a loud bang and felt the car shudder. We had hit a deep pothole hidden beneath the murky water on the road. My heart sank as I realized we had a flat tire, and changing it in the pouring rain demand we all exit the car

With trembling hands and soaked clothes, we managed to replace the tire, but by now, I was thoroughly drenched and shivering. Exhausted and disheartened, at this point I can't just continue with the journey but just because of the weather but we are already running very late into the night hours.

It was a humbling experience, to say the least. My worst journey had taught me the importance of being prepared for the unexpected and the resilience to face adversity head-on. As I finally made my way to a very close relations resident, I couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. Despite the mishaps and misfortunes, at least I had a tale to tell, a story of my worst journey ever, one that would be etched in my memory for years to come.

In the small town of Benue, there lived a young boy named Ebube. Ebube had a unique talent that could captivate anyone who listened to him. His voice possessed the power to weave emotions and his artistic skills in drawing were equally impressive. However, his friends didn't appreciate his talents. They would mock and discourage him, belittling his dreams of making it big in the music industry.

But Ebube refused to let their negativity dim his light. He believed in himself and his abilities. Determined to pursue his dreams, he would often retreat to a quiet spot by the river, singing his heart out and filling the air with the melodies that came naturally to him. In those moments, he found solace, hoping that one day, someone would recognize his talent.

Little did Ebube know, that day would come sooner than he expected. One sunny day, as he sang his heart out in a crowded marketplace, unbeknownst to him, he was being recorded live by a passerby who was mesmerized by his voice. The passerby uploaded the video to social media, where it quickly went viral and caught the attention of music enthusiasts across the country.

A week later, Ebube received the biggest surprise of his life. A phone call came, and to his astonishment, it was from none other than Mavins Records, one of the biggest music producing companies in Nigeria. They had seen his viral video and were interested in signing him as their newest artist.

From that moment on, Ebube's life transformed. He signed a record deal, and with the support and guidance of Mavins Records, he nurtured his talents, honing his skills as a singer and performer. The once-mocking friends became awestruck admirers as they witnessed his rise to success.

From an early age, Tunde had struggled with recalling things he was taught in school. No matter how hard he tried, he would always forget important details during tests and exams. As a result, he failed so many times that he began to lose hope.
However, Tunde was not one to give up easily. Despite his academic challenges, he possessed a strong determination and a dream that kept him going. He aspired to become a doctor, specializing in treating children who faced similar struggles with their memory and learning abilities. Tunde believed that if he could overcome his own obstacles, he could inspire and help others in their journey.

With his dream in mind, Tunde turned each failure into a learning opportunity. He sought guidance from his parents, teachers and classmates, asking for extra help and studying diligently every day. Though the road was difficult, Tunde's perseverance continued to shine, even in the face of failure.

As Tunde progressed through school, he discovered various techniques that helped improve his memory and recall. He practiced mnemonic devices, engaged in regular physical exercise to boost his cognitive abilities. Though progress was slow and sometimes discouraging, Tunde remained focused on his ultimate goal of becoming a doctor.

Years flew by, and eventually, Tunde gained admission to a prestigious medical school. There, he devoted countless hours to studying, absorbing every piece of knowledge like a sponge. Tunde's persevering nature led him to excel in his chosen field of pediatric medicine, where he specialized in understanding the intricacies of memory and learning disorders.
Just like Tunde who achieved his dream, failure is not the end but a stepping stone to success. Cheer up, you are a winner

THE DEFAULTERS
Hi guys, I want to share a little story that is a lesson that if well taken into consideration and put into practice, life will be more easier.
So, it all started on a bright sunny afternoon on a Monday morning. Just immediately after the bell was rung for break over and continuation of teaching I went out to catch and punish those whose defaulted in obeying the bell because I was on duty that day. So, all the students starting running into their classes immediately they saw me approaching. So, I headed on to the school field to search for more defaulters and this time any one caught was to be punished because the rule of the school clearly states that anyone caught still out 2minutes after the bell has been rung should be punished. I went their and I saw 2 students, they weren't even making any attempt to go to class early because they were seniors, so I called them and asked why they weren't in class and one of them lied that they were sent by a teacher and I asked the other one, he too said the same thing, so I asked to follow me to the teacher they said sent them but they were reluctant but just then, I also saw other two students and I asked them why they were outside and they said that they were sorry that they heard the bell but they were stayed there to put back on their shoes because they played football, so I let them go because they said the truth and after seeing what happened the other two that lied began to confess that they lied to me but It was too late.
Lying is a bad habit, people often say some times its good not to say the truth because it might turn back at you but no matter the pain it will cost, the truth is better because a lie will still come back in the future to hunt you.

Once upon a time in a bustling city, there lived a young woman named Maya. Maya was known for her kindness and her unique ability to find creative solutions to everyday problems. One day, she stumbled upon a life hack that would change her life and the lives of those around her.

It all began when Maya noticed the long queues and grumpy faces at a local coffee shop every morning. People seemed to be in a rush, craving their daily caffeine fix but frustrated with the wait. Maya decided to tackle this problem head-on and create a positive ripple effect.

She started by approaching the coffee shop owner, Mr. Johnson, and proposing a simple idea. Maya suggested setting up a dedicated "pre-order" line for customers who knew exactly what they wanted and were in a hurry. This way, their orders would be ready by the time they reached the counter, minimizing waiting time for everyone.

Impressed by Maya's ingenuity, Mr. Johnson agreed to give it a try. They quickly implemented the pre-order line, and soon enough, word spread among the community about the time-saving hack. People who had once grumbled about the wait were now enjoying their freshly brewed coffee without any hassle.

But the positive effects didn't stop there. Inspired by Maya's initiative, other businesses in the neighborhood began implementing their own unique life hacks. The local bakery introduced a loyalty program that offered free pastries after a certain number of purchases. The bookstore organized weekly book swap events to encourage community interaction. The gym started hosting fitness challenges with rewards for participants.

As the community embraced these life hacks, the atmosphere in the city changed. People were happier, more efficient, and connected on a deeper level. Maya's simple act of finding a solution to a common problem had sparked a wave of creativity, productivity, and joy throughout the city.

News of this inspiring transformation reached the ears of a journalist who was intrigued by Maya's story. The journalist interviewed Maya, and her story was featured in a national newspaper. The article inspired people from all over the country to implement their own life hacks and create positive change in their communities.

Maya's life hack had turned into something much bigger than she had ever imagined. She became a symbol of innovation and community empowerment. Inspired by her journey, Maya decided to dedicate her time to helping others discover their own life hacks, offering workshops and mentoring sessions to share her knowledge and encourage others to make a difference.

And so, the ripple effect continued, spreading from one person to another, one community to the next. Maya's small act of kindness and creativity had set off a chain reaction of positive change, reminding people of the power they held within themselves to make the world a better place.

The End.

My Experience so far with Restaurants in Nigeria

The was a time in my life I used to a engage booker joints for meals anytime I am out of home. As time flew by, my taste for better restaurants began to rise, of course there was a rise in pocket earnings; I am not implying that booker is bad to reckon with at least the humble beginnings are not to be despised. I upgraded gracefully.

But it's a catastrophe to know what has remained a problem @ the bookers remains same at social class restaurants. It may sound funny but it's the truth, I observed that when I visit the bookers early once a hot pot of soup is grounded😁 and place order; the delivery usually comes with enough barriers and obstacles if you know what I mean😁 the meat might be one as per Booker but stock fish, shakky, kpanla and orishirishe are always intact, same goes to the social class restaurants. Unfortunately, I experience opposite if I dare visit at noon or evenings after d day's hustle - the rations served comes with offensive bones be it stockfish, goat meat or beef.

Do you have a similar experiences?

You notice things you focus on. You want to buy something, that’s all you start noticing around you. Our mind brings into focus what we're interested in. If your mind doesn’t know what you want, it can’t help you. Success requires clear purpose & relentless focus.
