Why you need hateful remarks sometimes.

Have you ever wondered why a lot of successful people in telling their success stories hardly recount the positive remarks they received during their period of struggle but almost always talk about the hateful and discouraging words that were said to them at the time?

Whoever said lemons weren’t good? 😉

Keep making lemonades on your way to the top!!

 

P.s- I wanted to write a list of the ‘hateful remarks’ made to Oprah, Zuckerberg and the likes but I’m sure you get the point.

City Girl in F.C.T

I had coined this name for myself a couple of months back. Cheesy yet cool. I like to pride myself in being a Lagos girl. I will shout it to the rooftop and tell it on the mountains. The best place to be in the world is Lagos, Nigeria. Maybe, someday, I will write about that. But today’s article is different. It's about my experience indeed as a Lagos Girl in the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria. The F.C.T isn’t new to me. I had been here numerous times either for school, work, leisure, or vacation but a couple of weeks ago, a new reality dawned on me when for the first time in my existence I booked a one-way trip to Abuja. My flight tickets were always for round trips. Thankfully I had familiar faces to welcome me and friends’ kind enough to give me shelter and take me out to dinner.
