THE MAGICAL POWER OF FOCUS

Always remember that your focus determines your reality. There are many things to focus on but there are simple things you can focus on. In a given moment focus on task at hand, so as to achieve your positive goals. However you have to be aware of your negative thought and replace them with positive thought because there are many time when you feel like given up and if you don’t catch these negative thought on time, they will be fester and grow until you actually give up.  Instead learn to focus on the positive, think about how great you fell, think about how other people have done this and so you. It will be good when you accomplish what you are trying to do, and at the end the result is happiness.

    Todd Terries said “we are what we think; as we desire, so do we become; by our thought, desire and habit we either ascend to the full divine dignity of our nature, or we descend to suffer and learn”

  So always remember to stay focused.

THERE’S THE NEED TO ADDRESSED AND ORIENTATE OPERATION OF SUG BIKE IN FPTB  EFFICIENT SERVICE DELIVERY.

By Dung Chung Dagak 19/131155.

The Services of bike Operators in Federal Polytechnic Bauchi has been described as  the best way to eased emergency for students of the institution which need to be appreciated for.

However the operation of this bike men has added tremendous contribution in making students who are newly admitted to be conversant with the school environs. In the light of this, the safety of the students should be the major concern as there is the need to note that lives of this students who patronized this bike men are precious as parts of measures to play safe while plying on the high way.

On the contrary, a holistic approach needs to be intensify as a criteria to measure the health condition of this operators through carrying an eye test to understand how they visualized road signs while moving with students on there bike.

Adhering to road signs regulations are areas which an advocacy enlightenment needed to be intensify as many SUG bike riders don’t know the regulations of this road signs.

While in a community of learning corporate communication it a tool to communicate effectively in order to exchange thoughts feelings among students, however from my observation over Sixty percent can’t speak English, this need to be taken seriously.

As mobile operators, they need to give the school community and the Gwallameji Community the need attention in safeguarding  through and safe delivery of their persengers.
