Maybe you are even going to deal with one shortly. It surely isn’t an enviable position to be in. I have my own share of difficult people I have to deal with.

I was in an audience listening to a motivational speaker. The speaker got out his wallet and pulled out a 500 Nigerian Naira note. Holding it up, he asked, "Who wants this 500 naira note?" Lots of hands went up, including mine. A slow chorus began to build as people began to shout, "Me!" "Me!"

“ARE you fit for success?” Are you physically prepared to embrace your dream, when it comes? As someone once said, it is irrational to use your health to get wealth only to use that wealth to get back your health, many a time, it is always too late.

You may have heard experts encourage you to be active, and keep physically fit. But some people still wonder why, especially when they consider that they are not ill, are very busy in high pressure jobs, or their body systems seem to function perfectly, they cannot understand the emphasis on keeping fit.

SOMEONE, I would call Tony, once went to the National Hospital in Abuja, Nigeria, to see a friend at the Accident and Emergency ward.

How to Develop Patience for Your Personal Productivity

HOW would you describe yourself; a patient or an impatient person? I can be impatient I must admit. On a general note, have you noticed that it seems like everything nowadays is fast and instant, what some call the ‘World of Instant Gratification’; instant coffee, instant messages via email and fax, instant education via online colleges, instant banking and so on. One is therefore tempted to ask, why wait in a world that literarily offers everything instantly? Reports say that it is now more difficult to be patient than at any other time in history.

HAVE you realized how quick one is, many times, to assume, dismiss or pass judgment on a person or an issue before all the facts are confirmed? It would seem that the human nature is wired such that it is eager to assume some majestic heights over affairs. The sad part is always when one realizes that he had beaten the gun, and assumed or judged wrongly. The impact sometimes is huge.

Holding your assumptions lightly or reserving judgment until all the facts are available is a strong and extraordinary discipline to acquire. Very few people possess this skill. You can possess it too.
