Part 4: What Do Successful People Do

Hello,
How was your week so far? I am sorry, was unwell so I didnt post yesterday.

Today we continue our success series, What do successful people do?... Successful people have a belief. I know some people are going to say 'but there are atheists' and they do well. Let me explain...

Part 3: What Do Successful People Do?

Hello,

Welcome to part 3 of the series. Over the past 2 days we have talked about what succesful people do and have understood that success is not a selective lady she accepts just whoever is man enough to make the little changes in their life to accomodate her.

Here is one other thing successful people do: successful people stay motivated, if they haven't won then they haven't finished. They fight with discouragement and failure until they have worn it down & it gives way to them. Let me explain better...

PART 2: What Do Successful People Do?

Hello,

Welcome to today's inspirational piece. If you have enjoyed it thus far, it is time for you to begin forwarding and broadcasting it as a daily gift to our friends and enemies alike. Let us inspire as many people as we can together.

Now to the Part 2 of the topic started on the last post, What do successful people do?
I learnt this one not too long ago and trust me, it has helped me become a more successful and productive person.

Successful people do not go on 'long' vacations or take 'long' breaks. Not even for a recent achievement as a matter of fact, successful people PLAY WITH WORK. Let me explain this one to you,

What Do Successful People?

Hello,

Today we are going to start up a series which will run for a while because this topic is very wide. We will be looking at what successful people do.

First of all disabuse your mind that success may be far from you or that success is you coming second to that particular lady or gentleman who always seems to get it right or come first.

If you have done that, it means we have an understanding that success has no preferences and you too can be successful beyond your imagination. Let us look at what successful people do that we can learn from and become successful ourselves.

Plan Ahead

Hello,

As the picture says, plan ahead. There is no way a task can be completed without some form of planning, a popular saying is 'He who fails to plan, plans to fail'.

Do you want to be successful? Do you want to be debt free? Do you want to .....?
Wanting it is one step and planning is much more important. Some of us are not used to planning, we live our lives expecting time and chance to work out all things in the end.

If we believe that he who does not work should not eat then we agree that in order to eat, we must plan to eat. The problem with waiting for all things to work out in the end is that it only works out in the end. Those who have planned ahead and executed their plans have things work out for them from the beginning to the end. They move from one job to the next, from one success to the next, from one financial level to the next.

The Power Of A Smile

The message for today is all about a smile.

I remember the times when as a radio presenter with 5 other guys in the studio early in our working together experience, we usually used to have arguements within the 3 minutes a song was playing on air. As soon as the song ended and the mics were switched on, we had to function like nothing happened else it would come accross to our listeners.

While some presenters were horrible at this, I (a few of us actually) was okay with getting my happy vibe on even though I just came from a minor disagreement. My key was to talk with a smile on my face and it was only when we had sorted things out after the show that we would listen back and be like, OMW- No one would believe what was going down few minutes before this happily voiced part.

Go For It

Is there something you want to achieve? is there something people around you have told you is good but too good for you? As this picture says, good things happen when you go for it.

There is nothing that is above you, there should only be things beneath you. Things you wouldnt stoop low to do but once what you intend to do is not wrong, my dear, do yourself the favour of going for it. At best you convert those who had little faith in you and at its worst, you have learned a useful lesson.

What to do when you fail

*WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU FAIL

Neither condemn yourself nor your examiners

Realise that there was a problem or some problems

Find out what the problems were

Never underestimate any angle or feeling… if you feel it is mental, see a doctor; If spiritual, begin to pray and consult your pastor

Invent new ways of doing things: Do not do things the way you have done it before. It is only a mad man that does the same things and expects a different result

Plan by the minutes: your long term goal is to succed, break that down into short term achieveable goals and tasks.

Be confident in yourself even if it is your 6th attempt, nothing is worse than a self defeatist attitude.

When you do these, go ahead send me a mail to thank me because it always works. 

Just before I give the last key for success

I happened to see this on a friend's facebook wall and thought to share.

it might seem an epistle but it is worth the read.

Status Update

Obviously, I’m not a relationship expert. But there’s something about my divorce being finalized this week that gives me perspective of things I wish I would have done different… After losing a woman that I loved, and a marriage of almost 37 years, here’s the advice I wish I would have had

DEAFNESS: The second key to success

DEAFNESS:

In the land of animals at a time when the lion was king and the animals could talk, it was a time humans hunted by digging very deep holes and covering them with leaves waiting for animals to show up. There was a day when two good friends Mr Antelope and Mr Hare fell into one of such pits in the boundary between the abode of the humans and the animals.

The antelope and hare realizing they had fallen into a trap which may well mean the end of life decided to do all in their power to get out of the trap. They cried out and called out to other animals and asked for help. Sure enough, the animals all gathered round but could do nothing for the pit/trap was so deep and no one would risk falling in themselves.

The 3 Keys to success... A must read/watch!!!

The Keys to Success Part 1:

SELECTIVE DUMBNESS

A little bird was flying south for the winter and it was so cold that the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out. He lay there all warm and happy and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Radio show podcast featuring the Hare and the Tortoise

I could not make it for the show last week Saturday but Dipo did us proud.
We are Ujima 9ja mix show and there are 6 presenters ( Myself inclusive :-)) here is the podcast for 8th of August 2013. It features the story of the Hare and Tortoise. ENJOY.

THE STORY OF THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE (With some remix )

Here's the story you already know:

Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster. They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route and started off the race.

The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race. He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep. 

The tortoise, plodding on, overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ. The hare woke up and realized that he'd lost the race.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS THAT SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE. THIS IS THE VERSION OF THE STORY THAT WE'VE ALL GROWN UP WITH.

But recently, someone told me a more interesting version of this story. It continues:

Judging a fish by its ability to climb a tree?

I like perfumes. yes, the classy chic ones; The type that speaks femininity, softness, good taste and class... The last time I bought a bottle of perfume was almost 5 years ago and I remember I was in a hurry but I spent almost one hour there and still ended up with close to trash (it had to do with the 'kiosk' i was in at the time), ever since then I have had bottles as gifts so I do not bother buying one... The reason of this story is the lesson I learned today.

I entered a reading room and I was greeted by the exact scents I like,yes, the ones that make me love being a woman. Seated before me were two lovely ladies as I walked past each one I wanted to stay in their sphere for a minute longer.
No sooner had I sat down did I begin to think about me and how I 'smelled', Whether or not my spray (I had used just a spray this morning) was equally creating such atmosphere. I concluded maybe not and was wondering if it was proper to lean over and ask one of them for the name of her body spray, perfume, cologne etc...
