PERFORMANCE

“In business, words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality”

Harold Geneen, industrialist

 

It looks like it’s a GREAT WEEK…..

 

 

 

THE SECRET TO GREAT DAYS (III)

“The exercise of writing and rewriting your goals everyday is one of the most powerful you will ever learn.”

 

Practice Daily Visualization
Calmly visualize your goal as a reality. Close your eyes, relax, smile, and see your goal as though it were already a reality. Rewrite your major goals everyday in the present tense. Rewrite them as though they already existed. Write "I earn X NAIRA." "I have a net worth of X." "I weigh a certain number of Kilogram." This exercise of writing and rewriting your goals everyday is one of the most powerful you will ever learn.

Great Day!

 

 

THE SECRET TO GREAT DAYS (II)

“The things that you do in the first hour prepare your mind and set you up for the entire day”

 

Feed Your Mind With Positive Ideas
This is called the Golden Hour. The first hour sets the tone for the day. The things that you do in the first hour prepare your mind and set you up for the entire day. During the first thirty to sixty minutes, take time to think and review your plans for the future. If you wake up angry and remain angry for the next 30mins, it is sure you’ll have a BAD day all through…….Always wake up on the right side…..the right side is in your mind, not on the bed.

 

Great Day!

 

 

PROMOTION!!!

“You have to believe in yourself, that's the secret. Even when I was in the orphanage, when I was roaming the street trying to find enough to eat, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world”

-       Charlie Chaplin, Actor

 

All great individuals that I have known have one thing in common – “SELF LOVE”. You need to develop that “GOOD” feeling about yourself, no one else will do it for you. Remember that old school line….”I feel good, da  da da da da da da….I know that I would now……..so good….so good….”

 

If you feel good about yourself, it doesn’t matter what any other person feels. Love yourself, love your body shape, love your height, love your complexion, love your background……LOVE EVERYTHING!!

It’s a secret that’ll help you get promoted.

 

Have a GREAT Day!

 

 

DON'T BELIEVE A LIE!

"Success is 99 percent failure”

---Soichire Honda

 

Our educational system has taught us not to make mistakes, that’s why even primary school students cheat. They don’t want “aunty” to beat them when correction is done because “aunty” will always call them “Olodo”.

This is wrong you know; without mistakes we don’t get anywhere….ask Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela, the list is endless…….

Don’t be afraid of failure……..it’s not him that falls down that has failed, it is he that stays down.      Dare to Succeed!!

 

 

Have a blissful weekend.

 

SUCCESS IS NOW

“Every successful man I have heard of has done the best he could with conditions as he found them, and not waited until the next year for better”

-Edgar Howe

 

Remember, Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is Future, but Today is a GIFT.

Today is all we have……do all you can Today, for Tomorrow no one knows…start NOW.

 

Have a great day!

INTEGRITY

“Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not”

-       Oprah Winfrey, talk-show host

 

Do what is right, whether it’s dark or not……

 

Great Day!

BE PASSIONATE!!! Live Your Dream

"The core problem is not that we are too passionate about bad things,

 but that we are not passionate enough about good things"--- Larry Crabb

Our educational system has so much (indirectly) taught us to focus so much attention on our weaknesses, at the expense of our strenghts. If we focus just 50% of the amount of energy we hitherto focused on our weaknesses on our strength, we will climb the highest mountains and sail across the deepest oceans of our lives.

Make a determination today to focus more of your energy on what you know to do best. It pays!

 

HOW TO WIN (II)

“As long as a person doesn't admit he's defeated, he is not defeated-he's just a little behind, and isn't through fighting”

-- Darrell Royal, football coach

 

Failure is a decision. Decisions are made in the mind. The state of your mind determines the quality of your decisions. The quality of your decisions is a factor of how developed your mind is. Great minds are known to be readers. Readers are Leaders. You start dying the moment you stop reading. Can you see how linked they all are?..........read, read, read..

The decision is yours.

Have A Fulfilled Day @ Work.

 

 

 

Key To Achievement

"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."
-- Dan Millman, Author

Recognize your priorities and do them. You may have to offend some people in the course of that. Never mind! People only associate with winners. Go for Gold, and everyone will come for you, even your greatest enemies.

Have a great day!

Cultivate The Attitude of Winning

If Columbus had turned back, no one would have blamed him. No one would have remembered him, either.

-- Anonymous
The truth is that nobody ever knows you are at the edge of success, but giving up at any point in time will xpose you. Only those who dont QUIT will WIN. Quiters never Win.

Always do all you can when you can, and follow it to a successful end. Never believe those who tell you it's IMPOSSIBLE(they actually dont know any better). Stand your ground and fight for your dream. No one would have blamed Colombus, butmore importantly, no one would have remembered him.

Have a great day!

Success & Victory

"Victory often goes to the army that makes the least mistakes, not them most brilliant plans."
-- Charles de Gaulle, 18th President of the French Republic

Personal Management

Success in life is a product of a well-developed personal management attitude. Personal management on the other hand is better achieved by a good Time Management System. The way you use your time determines the results you get out of life.
Whether or not you're managing your time well is determined by the TASKS you embark upon. The importance/non-importance and/or urgency of the tasks you embark upon will determine how well you're managing your time, and thus the results(positive/negative) that you'll get.

Like Brian Tracy said in his book "GOALS", the most important word in determining the value of a particular task or activity is 'consequences'. A task that is valuable and important is a task that has serious consequences for completion or noncompletion. The greater the possible consequences of a task or activity, the more important it is.

A task for which there are few if any consequences is by definition not particularly important. Your aim in personal management, therefore, is to spend more time doing more of those tasks that can have the greatest possible consequences on your life and work.

PAUSE for a moment and think about how you have spent time in the few days this year has given!! How have you fared? However you have;if well, very good, but if not, then, it's never too late to start doing the right thing. START NOW! Plan your day, Plan your life.
Pursue those goals you've set for 2008. Be committed to them, be serious about them, and be disciplined enough to give it all that it requires to achieve every single one of them.

It's a great day. Go and Conquer Your World!

KEEP YOUR GOAL ALIVE!

This post is meant to stir you up once again to keep aiming at your goal. I was listening to Bishop T.D. Jakes this morning speaking about 'working in a hostile environment', and he said that one of the things that keeps you going even in that hostile work environment is having the mindset that where you are now should not define where you're going.

It is absolutely true that even the whole universe is a hostile environment- you hear of people dying everyday, accidents everywhere, wars, natural disasters, etc, but we still got to live anyway.There is no 'comfort zone' anywhere on earth really; that is why even in the best otganisation, that hostility is still there. Everybody cannot like you no matter how nice or handsome you are. But we still must live and succeed!

One of the attitudes to develop to survive in this hostile environment is to remember that

'where you are is not a definition of where you are going'

.Get the best of where you are now, having the future in mind.You must always keep your mind on the goal. Never let it out of your sight.Never mind what your surrounding or environment is throwing at you; whether pebbles or rocks. Shake them off, and step on them to get higher. Dont let every little thing stop you. You have to move on.

Success Today!!

Many of life�s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
- Thomas Edison

Success comes before work ... only in the dictionary.

Success is only a matter of opinion. Failure is a cold hard fact.
- Peter Gent

The two hardest things to handle in life are failure and success.


Failure comes only when we forget our ideals, objectives and principles.


Failure makes people bitter and cruel. Success improves the character of the man.
- W. Somerset Maugham

Success is a journey not a destination.


If you wish to gain success, do not stare up the steps-step on the stairs.

There is n deodorant like success




So WHat DO You Say? Success or Failure? It's Up To You!!!
Have a great day!

Laziness Doesn't Work!

Nobody can think straight who does not work. Idleness warps the mind.
-Henry Ford

The average man doesn’t wish to be told that it is a bull or a bear market. What he desires is to be told specifically which particular stock to buy or sell. He wants to get something for nothing. He does not wish to work. He doesn’t even wish to have to think.
-Jesse Livermore

Everything we would ever need to become rich and powerful and sophisticated is within our reach. The major reason that so few take advantage of all that we have is simply, neglect.
-Jim Rohn

Work Is What Works!

If you don't want to work, you have to work to earn enough money so that you won't have to work. -Ogden Nash

I see many people these days who see work as evil. It is simple, they are LAZY. I have come to discover that lazy people are never satisfied with what they have. They are the ones that want the promotion, but never want to work for it. They want more money, but never want to do more, learn more, or invest more, to earn more. What are they? LAZY!!!
One important secret to success and a healthy life is a good attitude towrads work. I would define W-O-R-K as Worthy Opportunities Rarely Known.

My Advice:
Work while you can, so you dont have to do more work later to survive.

Excellence

We are what we repeatedly do; excellence then is not an act, but a habit.
Keep doing that thing you know will lead you to the actualisation of your dream.

THE KEY TO SUCCESS

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

Bill Cosby

Business Sense

Computing machines perhaps can do the work of a dozen ordinary men, but there is no machine that can do the work of one extraordinary man.
