My Birthday Thought!

November 27 is always my birthday. This year's celebration however will remain forever in my memories. You ask why?
I woke up to a brand new morning when my mobile phone rang(like i expected0, and alas! it was none other than my mentor Tope Ogunfayo, who showered a lot of prayers on me.....i really felt loved. Then my dad called and also continued from where the previous caller stopped.such a great way to start a new day.
It was a busy early morning as sms after sms kept coming in....thanks to all those who remembered my birthday. My colleagues at work also kept on singing "birthday boy, happy birthday...etc" Whao!! dont be jealous.
It was about 11.00am that i heard a loud "BANG!", evidently not too far from my office. I thought the "big boys" were around...you know what i mean..working in a bank makes u a prayerful person, asking God always to blind the eyes of robbers to your branch.


It was moments latter that customers in the bank started crying they should be allowed to go out- there was a fire outbreak just nextdoor. A big truck carrying bags of Rice had crashed into the market. Many made efforts to put out the fire before the fire fighters came. They tried, but the deed had been done. Asides the property worth thousands of Naira lost to the fire, not less than nine (9) individuals were caught in the fire, and the resultant electrical cable cut killed them. Such a mishap on my birthday anniversary!


I sat down later to give an account of the day and i came to the conclusion that life is short! Whatever impact i am meant to make must be made right NOW. One of those that died is well known to me. May their departed souls rest in peace.

The Bible has said it;there will always be two sets of people in the world- the rich and the poor, the young and old, the believers and the non believers...etc
My advise today is that you be amongst those that will make impact in the world.

Have a great day!

What Motivates You?

"If money is your hope for independence, you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability. "
-- Henry Ford, industrialist

Build Your Self Image

"Self-image sets the boundaries of accomplishment."
-- Maxwell Maltz, Author


Have a great day!

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.

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

I read a quote recently and it blew my mind because most often we tend to forget or maybe we just are indifferent about life. It goes thus:

"A man with ability and the desire to accomplish something can do anything"
-- Donald Kircher
Did you see that? Everything we desire to accomplish in life can be made possible with just two ingredients- Ability & Desire. Period!
Ability is a function of continous learning and practice. Desire on the other hand is a function of inner processes(your Mind).

Determine today to succeed, and GO FOR IT!
Increase your knowledge and stretch your imagination.

You can achieve whatever you believe long enough.

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
