DILIGENCE

Image
A quote states thus "The gent who wakes up and finds himself a SUCCESS hasn't been asleep." DILIGENCE is a principle, thus it entails that it can be applied ANYWHERE in the world by ANYBODY. It is not limited to a certain race, culture e.t.c. It simply means hardwork. Success is not attained by chance; it must be sought with diligence. The proof of DESIRE is PURSUIT and DILIGENCE is an ALL-IMPORTANT factor for pursuing In the words of Benjamin Franklin, he said and I quote "Diligence is the mother of goodluck" Every man that has ever achieved anything of worth or greatness will always make reference to DILIGENCE. DILIGENCE makes on ALL IN for a thing and you will obtain ALL IN that pursuit when you are all in. In life, people can have the same CONDITION but different PRODUCTS. The difference maker is DILIGENCE Eg: Two young undergraduates gains admission same year and by the end of final year, one graduates with a First Class and

AVOID DISTRACTION

Life is like driving down a highway in the middle of a metropolitan area. When we don’t know where we’re going, each exit may look like an “opportunity,” but taking the wrong exit may lead to the wrong “neighbourhood.” Our life is full of distractions - ”driving” our life without a plan can make every exit on the highway attractive, but may lead you to the wrong destination. I know what I want. Having a clear vision of where you’re going, will help you identify where you DON’T want to go. Having clear goal and coming back to it daily, helps me identify when I’m losing focus, and will trigger alerts that get me back on track. Stay focused.

ENGAGE NOW OR WAIT FOREVER

I want to draw your attention to a very cogent and paramount issue of growth and relevance in life which I am positive will be of help to you. There is a saying that “Your growth, success and relevance in life is directly proportional to; what you see, what you hear and the people follow”. In the issue of success and relevance, there is a major player that cannot be in anyway be neglected which I’ll like us to look into in this short write up. The role of a mentor cannot be overemphasised in the journey of a man towards success and relevance, where by this has made it very necessary for each and everyone who aspires to be great to have a mentor who will in subsequent times check and balance his ways and dealings. There is a pressing issue in this same course which is how so many mentees react and relate with their mentors. I’ve been opportune to mentor some set of young guys and ladies as well as submitted under the mentorship of some great men and women as well. I

I AM MOST TIMES DISSAPOINTED, MY LOVE REMAINS ENDLESS

Image
My heart smiles when I hear the name My heart blossom with beauty when I see the name Her performance alone I always long to see My prayer for her to win is always like that of a mother for her child But still, it ends in disappointment afterall. Manchester United is a football team in England which I have been a fan of for close to two decades. A team I enjoy watching on the field of play and a team I always long for her success and outstanding achievement. Over 5 years that the team lost her longest serving manager to retirement, the team has been struggling for survival and has since dropped in the level of achievement that the team is known for. I leave my comfort and even discomfort zone just to go support my beloved club and I end up coming back home sad and disappointed but this never stop me from going back. The life of so many football fans of different clubs also have this kind of love and loyalty to their club of choice and on different occasions also get

RELATIONSHIP TRUTH

Image
The above post has been flying online for some days now and I’ll just love to drop my view about the subject. Relationship and Marriage is a very delicate and exceptional part of life that if one is misled can cause harm to the relationship. Truth be told, the points packaged in the write up are cogent and reasonable necessities of a working relationship but like I told one of my protégé ‘It is a partial truth’. I do totally agree with the later part which categorized the traits that should be commonly possessed by both party as it is accurate and true. My contradiction comes in the other two categories. Human beings are created, wired and brought up differently which makes it expedient to know that we have different mentality and personality. The fact that we are twins, nevertheless identical does not implies we won't have subtle differences. (Age, Knowledge, Cash, Patience, Neatness, Love, Planning and Prayer) A divergence of any of these among the part

SELF ESTEEM

Image
Self defined as being ‘’confidence in one’s own worth or abilities; Self Respect’’ Confidence is defined as ‘’ feeling or belief that one can have faith in or rely on someone or something. Self esteem is not how other people see you; it’s how you see yourself. Self efficacy and self respect are the two elements that make up self esteem. Self efficacy is our ability to think, learn, and choose to make appropriate decision. Self Respect is confidence in our right to be happy, and confidence that achievement, success, friendship, love and fulfilment are appropriate to us. ‘’Don’t worry about what others think of you, what you think of you, what matters is what you think of you’’ that why is ‘’ SELF ESTEEM’’. A Positive Self-esteem provides us with strength and a capacity for regeneration supported by love. When our self esteem is low, our resilience when facing life’s problem is diminished and our FEAR rises up to speak loudly! It’s these voices (LOVE and FEAR) and t

OVER CONFIDENCE

Image
OVER CONFIDENCE Over confidence refers to the tendency to be very sure of a fact and later finding that the objective reality was different. Over confidence means to be much more sure about self ability. Over confidence is being silly and presumption of knowing everything blindly. Over confidence is when a person believes that he/she is right every single time and that is nothing others need to do but follow him/her happily. Causes of over confidence Affluence Higher Education Natural personality Position of parents Own ability Low self esteem EFFECT OF OVER CONFIDENCE Hatred Punctured ego Makes one to relent Getting alienated by colleagues and may have poor professional interaction with friends. Loss of concentration Failure in exams Over confidence kills and murder ones confidence, it is good to be confident but the over side of it is not good. Stay calm, stay focus, share your views with others, don’t be over confident because no one kn

CHARACTER

Image
What is Character?  Character is a minefield. It is almost indescribable. Philosopher, Pierre Bourdieu, studied the field of ‘habitus’. Habitus is every persons natural state of being, composed of sensibilities, dispositions and taste. These factors are things each person is born with. Ralph Waldo Emerson, defined character as something similar to this sentiment; “The quiet reserved value creating force of the person, untouched by circumstances or external pressures.”  It’s important to try to find out your behavioral traits and understand why you sometimes act the way you do. Character, however is taking these natural reactions further and aligning them with action.  The energy, value and service a person contributes to a circumstance.  But why is character important for success? 1. Good Character Builds the Trust Needed for Success Often when one has the goal of leadership in mind, you work on other attributes rather than your character as you attempt to reach your

BE YOU

Learnt this from a brother and I hope it will help you.  He goes by the name Biyi Agboola and he is fond of ending all his introductions and speeches with a phrase I so much love, "I am a Blessing to my Generation and an asset to Nations". I have been following him closely for months online even before we finally met and today, he is one of the many that has added sauce to my speaking career and impacted me a lot when it comes to personal development.  So many times I watch him speak and his gestures, postures and self carriage amazes me a lot that I can't stop gazing. About some days ago, he posted a picture of himself giving a lecture at an event and the manner at which he held the microphone got my attention.  Afterwards, as he is someone I love watching and he's a mentor I emulate a lot, I began a research through his previous engagements and discovered the microphone handling style was the same, so stylish and full of awesomeness. I tried l
