OPENING UP: Living a happy & peaceful life

By: Prophetess Ngozi Joy

Life is a journey filled with surprises, obstacles, and ups and downs. No condition in life is permanent. At times, life may seem to be at its best, while at other times, it may feel like it is coming to an end. However, how we handle these situations can determine whether our lives are happy and peaceful or not. Our approach to life and its issues can be an incredible way of pulling through.

Happiness and sadness are a matter of choice. We all desire a happy and peaceful life, which attracts joy, blessings, sound health, and longevity. The peace we seek should come from within us, as we cannot give what we do not have. Many things can help us achieve this, including our approach to life, our beliefs, and our understanding of life itself.

We must learn to accept things we cannot change, believe in ourselves and our abilities, and love ourselves while giving good values to all we do. Apologizing when necessary and accepting apologies from those who wronged us is essential. We must avoid ego and pride, as the “I know it all” mentality is a dangerous place to be.

Taking a break from the hustle and bustle of life is crucial. We must give ourselves time to rest, take a vacation, stay around nature, meditate, and put our minds off every activity. Finding happiness and peace with all things and at all times is vital. We must take care of our bodies, accept ourselves just the way we are, and stay neat in a clean environment. Cleanliness is next to godliness, and it brings about healthy and longer life.

Worries can make one age faster, so we must stay far away from them. Studying ourselves and discovering what triggers our anger is essential, and we must stay away from such triggers. Eating good and healthy foods is crucial, and we must not just eat anything that comes our way.

Being contented with what we have and praying fervently for the things we desire can also be of great help.

Harvard-Trained Nigerian-American Engineer Raises $7m for Robot Designed to Assist Hair Braiders A Nigerian-American engineer and Harvard graduate, Yinka Ogunbiyi, has secured $7 million in seed funding to develop a robotic device designed to make hair braiding faster and less physically demanding for professional stylists. Ogunbiyi’s company, HaloBraid, is developing what it describes as the world’s first patented braid-assist robot. The device is designed to work with hairstylists by handling some of the repetitive movements involved in knotless braiding. The funding round was led by Seven Seven Six, a venture capital firm founded by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian. AlleyCorp and Bling Capital were also among the investors. The technology has already attracted significant interest, with more than 7,000 salons reportedly waiting to use the system. HaloBraid is designed as a collaborative robot, meaning it works alongside a human stylist instead of attempting to replace one. The hairstylist remains responsible for sectioning the hair, creating the initial knot and completing the final styling. The robot then assists with the repetitive weaving process down the length of the braid before the stylist returns to finish and shape the ends. According to the company, the technology could cut the time spent on some knotless braid appointments by roughly half, allowing salons to serve more clients while reducing the physical pressure on stylists. For Ogunbiyi, the idea was born from personal experience. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she spent four days installing knotless braids on herself, an experience that made her consider how technology could assist with the most repetitive aspects of the process. She subsequently teamed up with co-founder David Afolabi to develop HaloBraid. The company’s technology is also aimed at addressing the physical demands of professional braiding. Stylists who spend years performing repetitive movements can experience problems affecting their wrists, hands, shoulders, back and joints. By assisting with the most repetitive stage of braiding, HaloBraid hopes to reduce the strain on beauty professionals and help them work more efficiently. Ogunbiyi said the technology would not take away from the personal experience of visiting a salon. Rather, she believes it can allow stylists to spend less time on repetitive movements while continuing to handle the creative and personal aspects of hairstyling. Before launching HaloBraid, Ogunbiyi worked on smart kitchen appliances and Internet of Things products. She holds a joint master’s degree in engineering and business administration from Harvard University. With a $7 million investment and thousands of salons already expressing interest, HaloBraid is seeking to introduce robotics into one of the world’s largest and most labour-intensive beauty markets.
