The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn - Gloria Steinem

The act of unlearning is an excellent form of learning. Infact, you will need the skills of unlearning if you intend to become an expert in your desired field.

Do yourself a favor by unlearning, learning and re-learning on a daily basis

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much - Jim Rohn

There's something special about you. It doesn't matter whether you work for a company or someone; what matters is the amount of investment you've made on yourself.

Investing in yourself is the best life plan you can design for your future

Peace begins with a smile - Mother Teresa

Never underestimate the power of your smile. It can lift up the depressed, improve the mood of the downtrodden and even discourage a suicidal attack. Also remember that your smile makes you more beautiful

Smile always for your own good and the good of others

The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn …and change - Carl Rogers

To perfect your learning process, you must learn, unlearn and re-learn. Infact, we all need to learn how to unlearn those vices we know about ourselves.

Do you know that seeing the devastating consequences of vices (perhaps in movies or real-life) can initiate the unlearning processes in one who does such?

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can - Arthur Ashe

Start now. You've got all it takes to achieve greatness, so no environment can limit you. Just begin something, give in your best and don't stop.

Remember, don't stop giving your best if you truly desire greatness. Nothing can stop you except yourself

He who opens a school door, closes a prison - Victor Hugo

Education goes beyond the four walls of the classroom. Always attempt to promote education at every chance you've got. Begin with your family, friends and those you interact with. In addition, do not forget to educate others with your words and actions.

Close a prison door by sponsoring the education of someone in your lifetime

How many mistakes have you made in your past? I'm quite sure they've made you better and wiser.

The point is: Great minds make more mistakes

I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: 'Try to please everybody all the time' - Herbert Bayard Swope

You cannot serve two masters simultaneously. Endeavor to do things that pleases your creator and you'll become a happy person. To this end, you may have to do things (sometimes) that will displease friends, family members and even your very own body.

Success comes at a cost

What you're supposed to do when you don't like a thing is change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it. Don't complain - Maya Angelou

Don't always complain. There are some changes that can only be done by the creator, but you'll still need to put in some effort towards it.

You have always got a choice in every situation. If you wish a turnaround in a specific segment of your life, you must do something to change it. When the change temporarily seems beyond you, then you must change your perspective on that segment

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us - Helen Keller

Happiness is a choice but there's also a time to be sorrowful. However, one way to be happy and joyful is by faithfully looking up to the creator and not the creature.

Be careful not to mourn like the hopeless

To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure - J.K. Rowling

We shall all die because death is a constant phenomenon concerning life. Interestingly, the most important part isn't how it comes but what happens next whenever it comes. This is so because it marks the beginning of a more important journey.

Meanwhile, prepare for death by putting others first

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you - Maya Angelou

Agony and sufferings are inevitable. They will take a variety of forms in your life but regardless, sharing them with one who loves and appreciates you is highly recommended for your general wellbeing.

It's just like a painful boil filled with pus. When the pus is let-go, the pain eases out eventually

It is never too late to be what you might have been - George Eliot

When there's life, hope exist. From today henceforth, you can make right your wrongs only if you initiate the process.

To become your dream, search your mind now and you'll understand what to do

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present - Bill Keane

Yesterday is gone so do not dwell much in it. It's what you do today that will determine the mystery of tomorrow. The point is: Today is the most important part of your life because it can destroy your history or make your mysterious tomorrow glorious

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle - Albert Einstein

Even the Holy Book stated that 'Faith without good work is dead'. The point is: 'Work as if your life depends on it and pray as if you can't achieve anything without it'. Remember, there's also a time to play, relax and rest.

Miracle exists but work is fundamental

It is indeed the life in your years that matters. Think about the questions below:

How many lives have you changed for the better? Have you destroyed any?

It is very crucial you positively impact upon the lives of others because for this reason were you created

God created human beings for the following reasons:

1. To know Him

2. To love Him

3. To serve Him

4. To be happy with Him forever

Our first parent, Adam and Eve enjoyed a life of complete happiness before they committed sin. They never knew what pain nor sorrow was until they disobeyed God. In short, both were perfect beings until they committed the sin of disobedience against God.

Disobedience may simple be defined as the failure to obey rules, command or someone in authority.

Adam and Eve were the first human beings to disobey God.

CRS

Adam and Eve were able to commit sin (disobey God's command) because God had given them that special gift of free will.

The events written in Genesis 3:1-13 presents the story of the first human disobedience.

Now the snake was the most cunning animal that the Lord God had made. The snake asked the woman, 'Did God really tell you not to eat fruit from any tree in the garden?'

Genesis 3:1

Moral Lesson: The devil can come in any form and can tempt any man, woman, boy or girl, as far as he or she is of the age of reasoning.

Sometimes, satan creeps into one's life by asking simple questions. Notice that the snake (satan) did exactly this when it approached Eve to tempt her. To this end, we need to be at alert prayerfully because the evil one can tempt any human in any situation, place and at any point in time

Computer hardware is the collection of physical parts of a computer system.

Physical parts of a computer are those parts that you can see and touch. It may also be referred to as the 'equipment of the computer'.

When the computer case is opened (with a screwdriver), one would see the different hardware components inside of it. It's important to state that some other hardware components are present outside the computer case; and these are termed peripherals.

Below are hardware components seen inside the computer case:

• Motherboard

• Central Processing Unit (CPU)

• Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

• Power supply Unit (PSU)

• Northbridge

• Southbridge

• Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) slots

• Network Interface Card (NIC)

• Random Access Memory (RAM)

• Ventilation fans

• Heat sink

• Hard Disc Drive (external present)

• Solid State Drive (SSD)

• CMOS battery

• Optical Disc Drives (external present)

• USB port, PS2 port, Ethernet port and other ports

• Expansion Ports / Slots

ICT

Hardware components seen outside the computer case are called peripherals. The peripherals are grouped into the following:

1. Input devices: They provide information to the computer.

2. Output devices: Brings out information from the computer.

3. Storage devices: They store information or data.

Below are examples of some peripherals:

• Keyboard (input)

• Monitor (output)

• Mouse (input)

• Webcam (input)

• Touch Pad (input)

• Universal Serial Bus (USB) flash drive or memory card (storage)

• Hard disc drive (storage)

• Stylus (input)

• Joystick(input)

• Printer (output)

• Speaker (output)

• Headphones (output)

A prepayment is somewhat an opposition to deferred payment. This is true because the concept of prepayment oversees that the buyer makes payment beforehand and must wait to enjoy whatever had been paid for after some significant time had elapse.

In short, you can think of a prepayment as 'paying in advance'. An example is when a tenant pays in advance to a landlord for an apartment yet to be used. Another example is an online payment for items yet to be received.

Commerce

Deferred payment is defined as a future payment eventually made after a buyer receives goods and services without an initial payment. Think of it as the: 'buy now, pay later' type of transaction.

From the perspective of the seller, the money yet to be received after the supply of goods or services is called an accrued revenue, unrealized revenue or accrued assets.

According to the buyer, the money yet to be paid after the delivery of goods or services is called an accrued expense. For instance, a company that owes employees salary can be said to have an accrued expense.

Commerce

For an item to be considered a commodity, it must satisfy three conditions. These are:

1. It must be standardized. In the case of agricultural commodities, they must be in their unprocessed state.

2. It must be usable upon delivery

3. The price of a commodity item must vary.

A commodity market can therefore be defined a place where people buy and sell homogenous goods in large quantities.

Homogeneous goods are products that essentially have the same physical characteristics (or qualities) as similar products from other brands.

It is noteworthy to state that foreign currencies, data and bandwidth have all been included as part of today's commodity markets. In this regard, a commodity market will always have it's own set of rules and regulations.

If we have water of 100^OC  in an aluminium cup whose temperature is the same as that of its surrounding; let’s say 22^OC; We will observe the followings:

1. The temperature of water inside the aluminum cup will begin to decrease from its initial 100^OC.

2. The temperature of the aluminium cup will increase from its previous 22^OC.

3. After some time, the temperature of the water, aluminium cup and the surrounding will become the same.

From the above instance, it can be deduced that the heat present in the water molecules are first transferred to the aluminium cup and subsequently to the surrounding.

Heat from water >> Aluminium Cup >> Surrounding

Meanwhile, understand that aluminium is a metal; and metals are good conductors of heat.

Eventually, the system (water and aluminum cup) together with the surrounding reaches the same temperature; and the heat transfer ceases. It is at this point that the water, aluminium cup and the surroundings are said to have reached a thermal equilibrium.

Please on the concept of heat and temperature here

Physics

Heat is never static. It is always transferred and thus: an object will increase its temperature by gaining heat energy from its surroundings while another object will simultaneously decrease its temperature by losing its heat energy to the surroundings. For this reason, we may also define temperature as:

The measure or ability of an object or substance to transfer heat energy to another object or substance.

The higher the temperature, the greater the ability of an object or substance to transfer heat. Conversely, the lower the temperature, the greater the tendency of an object to receive the transferred heat.

The point is: 'for heat to be transferred, we must have systems or objects or substances with varying temperatures

Physics

The average distance between the earth and the sun is about 149.6 million kilometers. It will take the earth 365 one-quarter days (or 1 year) to make a complete orbit (or revolve) round the sun. This process is termed the revolution of the earth.

The revolution of the earth is responsible for the seasonal changes we experience here (on earth). In Nigeria and Africa at large, these are the rainy and dry seasons. In Europe, these are spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons. Similarly, the United States of America have got the spring, summer, fall and winter seasons respectively.
