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..

Google's creation of Alphabet reminds startups of an important lesson: Focus - Jim Scheinman

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.........

3 Ways To Get Checked Out Employees to Check Back In - By Chester Elton and Adrian Gostick


On a Monday not long ago, a friend left us a voice mail. He is one of the most talented marketing professionals we know, but after years of feeling “dissed” at his company he had become disengaged at work. What follows is the transcript of the message: 

Finding A Mentor is Less Awkward Than You Think



I found this article By Kushaan Shah, an IBM Consultant and Entrepreneur ...... It would prove useful to all.......
Since the start of my time at IBM, there has always been an emphasis on mentoring. We got bombarded with pressure to find mentors immediately after startingindividuals who would magically guide young people through their struggles and invest in us when we needed help.

Be Political and Be Savvy - Sable Badaki



This Piece was posted by Sable Badaki; a Global Strategic HR Consultant, Facilitator and Speaker......................
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”

7 Power Teams That Can Super-Charge Any Project



Just saw this piece and decided to share it

By Ilan Mochari

@IlanMochari

If you've ever wondered where creative ideas come from, here's a one-word answer: combinations. 
Specifically, ideas emerge when "someone sees a problem in a new way--often by combining disparate elements that initially seemed unrelated," writes marketing and strategy consultant Dorie Clark in her new book, "Stand out: How to find your breakthrough idea and build a following around it".

Coming Soon!!! MY DEAR DIARY

Holla friends!!!!
I will be sharing my most memorable events and images with you on a new series i call MY DEAR DIARY.

Living above Penury (Series) 1

What does it mean to live in Penury?
Penury as many would say is the lack of money to spend. Am i right?
Also it is the state of being very poor; extreme poverty.

LESSONS FROM NOWHERE (part 6)

BE..........
The way you present yourself is the way others see you.... Hmmmmn,  make your stance look full and strong enough for others to see you that way. When people look at a personality, it isn't who is under the garment they see but he wearing the garment that is ; even though u mustn't present yourself more you are,  yet u must 'package' yourself.
If you present yourself cheap to others, chai, u are cheap and they will use you cheaply alike. But if they see that you are blessed, strong, independent and rare, they will treat you with respect........
BE..............

LESSONS FROM NOWHERE (part 5)

HAVE CONTROL
When life gives you LIMES just SMILE.
Control isn't above having power or authority. Rather it is about modifying and bending rules. Yeah many people do not understand what it takes to be in control 'cause they can't even control themselves.
Another lesson I want to share today is 'Learn to control yourself'. Be it financially, Spiritually, Emotionally or even anger wise, Self Control is a great virtue that needs possessing. No matter what external factors may bring up, you must be able to control your reactions and response as this is going to be a big determinant of outcomes you get from life and others.
Be angry, but control your anger before your anger controls you. Even when things happening around you are against your standard or the people around you gets on your low, guys, watch yourself and don't let the situation control your actions..........................
On my way from Abeokuta........ Abeg I need to face my journey, see you later.......

LESSONS FROM NOWHERE (part 4)


ALWAYS DO
Good evening friends, today was hectic.  Yours??
Another great lesson I learnt from life, is 'Only the doer makes something out of a goal' .  Hmmmmn,  everybody has got beautiful ambitions, goals, dreams and aspirations, but only a few realize their goals. Why?
While the more people keep dreaming and scheming how to make the millions and all, the few thinks a little, takes a bold step on their thoughts, push further and makes everyday count and overtime gets something little and builds more on that little something to make an empire.............
Make everyday count, don't only aspire, think or scheme,   also do more, don't wait for that big break, rather let those little chops mould the big pot.......
I got to make dinner now........ I will see you guys tomorrow

LESSONS FROM NOWHERE (part 3)


BUILD RIGHT  RELATIONSHIPS
Learning to have the right people around is a great asset and helps make dreams come true. Having good rapour and relationship with everyone we come across helps build up our fans and support base.  I heard from a good source that George Bush (snr)  personally signs 100,000 Xmas and New Year complimentary cards to friends and family; now tell me why his family won't always have a reason to be in a place of power in America at a point or the other.
No matter what you have against people try and learn forgiveness and keep everyone and anyone as good as they can possibly be................
Life is dynamic.......... See you guys later

LESSONS FROM NOWHERE (part 2)


TIDY YOUR SHIT
sorry guys I am late, was watching movies and sleeping.
A great lesson to learn from life is, how to make every of your actions count. Don't be too anxious about anything and everything but as I said tidy your SHIT. Any major part of the build up to your future that you refuse to tidy is gonna just come right back to the future and hunt you down. Yea, big time. So you have gat to make all your actions, reactions and response to life and living count for what must be done right.
Don't think that because you want to be a sailor, you really don't need Home Economics, like hell you do cos if you don't do it now, you gonna do it harder later on.....
My Papa used to say 'No lesson learnt in life is a waste'......
Learn as much as you can and tidy up your home front........
See y'all later

LESSONS FROM NOWHERE part 1

LIVE WITH A SCHEDULE (PLAN)
Many people do not understand what it takes to live according to a plan or what a plan of a life really is. The first thing that can ever get a man or woman as the case maybe ; a place of reality is getting a planned life.
From a young age or growth period anybody wishing to achieve anything in life, must have a view of how the future is going to be designed. Making a plan for the future must be done according to purpose, strength, weakness, God, resources  and environment. One must put God first in his plan, then consider all these other elements as they will all one day play a part or the other in the actualization of your dreams.

I learnt a great lesson which though hurt me, yet it's still a lesson worthwhile; ANY INTEGRAL PART OF YOUR LIFE LEFT IN THE PAST UNTIDIED WILL COME BACK TO HUNT YOU. (this lesson will be the basis for our knowledge sharing tomorrow.......)  Guys, plan your life.
