The Return of MOI

Good day friends,
I am sorry I have been away for a long time......You know how it is now. Lagos wahala. I have been too creepy busy since my dad's death and his burial in January.
But I am fully myself again and creating enough time for this blog and my friends.
Welcome back everyone.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHAMPIONS AND LOSERS

There are many things that I have tried that did not work. There was a day someone asked me,"Do you people who are successful know what those of us who run small organizations are going through?" I said, "Which part of my story do you want me to begin with? You will be surprised where I started from,and you will be surprised the challenges that I have encountered along the way,but I have stayed on."

So,what are the challenges you have right now? Let me ask first,do you know anyone who has overcome similar challenges before? Have you heard their story? Are you assuming that it was easier for them than it is for you? Maybe it is a wrong assumption. It hardly works so smoothly for everybody.

Anyone who has big dreams is going to attract challenges. Some never realize the potential promotion or increase that comes from overcoming challenges. Great victories come from great battles.

Today,overcome every challenge and join the world of champions.

You are a champion!
You will succeed..

The Best of Times

Isn't the world good as it is?
I wonder a lot when many people think or refer to the saying "A fool at forty is a fool forever" because in this 21st century popularly referred to as 'JET AGE' by many there is literally nothing left for a man to achieve at '40' because all better life opportunities and entitlements must have come and gone since he was in his '20's..................no offence but isn't it truthful?...........so I'd say a fool at 25 'which is mid 20s' is a fool forever........ Takia guys see u soon.........

We hear the term “ office politics” and images begin to flood our minds of bickering, backstabbing, and mean co-workers. Is that office politics or is just bickering, backstabbing, and mean co- workers?

Office politics exist in the workplace. Your ability to navigate through the political environment is a skill. Contrary to popular belief, it is not for the evils ones but for the career focused ones. Check your organization’s competency directory, there it is “political savvy”
