Top ten richest athletes revealed!

Tiger Woods is once again the world's best-paid athlete after reclaiming golf's number one ranking, according to Forbes.

Woods had total earnings of $78 million (£50.34m) over the past year - $65 million (£42m) in endorsements and the remainder from appearance and prize money, Forbes said in its annual sporting survey.
The American returned to the top of golf's rankings in March for the first time since October 2010.
A number of sponsors had abandoned Woods after he was involved in an adultery scandal that broke in 2009 but sportswear company Nike was among those that stood by him.
Woods had topped the Forbes list every year from 2001 until boxer Floyd Mayweather deposed him last year.
Swiss tennis player Roger Federer was second in the new list, making more than $71 million (£45.89m) since June 2012.

INSPIRATION: Timing is Key!!

This is a post i shared this morning as a note on my facebook page.... http://www.facebook.com/notes/oluwaseyi-oshea-ilubanwo/timing-is-key/10151497709801448
Its exactly 3years,1month and 8days since I wrote a note on this platform (April 20, 2010). As i was preparing for work this morning, I tuned to a radio station (inspirational fm 92.3) which has birth and inspired this note. My wish and prayer is that it will touch and inspire you...
TIMING IS KEY!
Let me start with this illustration; A man with one wrist watch will always be sure of what the TIME says but another man with Two wrist watches might not be able to say for sure what TIME it is. TIMING is everything in life, for everything there is a right TIME; for it to happen or for it to be executed. People often say " I don't have TIME" its a big lie.... Its because the person have failed to plan and misplaced his/her priorities. The Holy book says " There is TIME for everything under the earth " but if You believe that you don't have enough TIME, you tend to procrastinate which makes you to have lesser TIME to achieve your set goals.
You cannot afford to wait for perfect conditions. Goal setting Is often a matter of balancing TIMING against available resources. Opportunities are easily lost while waiting for perfect conditions... So Friend, you'll see that when ever you plan and set a goal, you always meet your target.
I learned that we can do anything, but we can't do everything... at least not at the same TIME. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. TIMING is everything.....
Don't forget to share with your friends. Good morning...

Riot at Anambra State University after two students are shot dead by robbers

There was riot in Igbariam campus in Anambra State University this morning. Heard things have died down a bit. According to unconfirmed reports which I am getting from students of the school, who are also sending in photos, armed robbers invaded the students' lodge last night to rob and they ended up shooting quite a few students. One student died last night, while another one who was shot died early this morning in the hospital.

Some students decided the best way to respond to the incident was to riot against the school and state government, blaming lack of security for their fellow students' deaths. 

Students say they pay N135,000 per session for new students and 107,000 for old students and still don't have security or even a functioning hospital, plus no light!

The rioting students went on the streets insisting on speaking with Governor Peter Obi. The students calmed down after the school Vice Chancellor addressed them about an hour ago.

9 Slightly Crazy Things That Might Make You Wildly Productive

Break up your routine with these secret (slightly off-the-wall) tricks to jump-starting your productivity.

Think of a few of your favorite things.

 

The other day during a grueling seven-hour car ride, I found myself feeling the stress of fatigue, impatience, and boredom. Suddenly, my dog, Riley, yawned with an outrageously funny expression of his own boredom. The sound was remarkably human and not one I'd heard before; it made me laugh so hard that it brought tears to my eyes.
Instantly, I had more energy. I felt more optimistic about the day ahead and, with the stress removed, I suddenly remembered that I had brought along an audio book that would surely cure my boredom. I was also reminded of some research I'd read.
