Trump lost the presidential debates, twice.
Yet he won the election.
He lost the public opinion polls to Hillary by double
digit margins.
Yet he won the election.
All living former American presidents opposed him.

Don’t Build Your Life On Public Opinion
Test That Narrative

GROWING
up, in the news, on social media platforms, in our environment, virtually
everywhere, we get fed with all manner of narratives that eventually form our
belief system and view of life. But you may want to pause and take a second
look at some of these narratives. Indeed you may want to challenge these
narratives and live free. Here are three examples worth considering.
Time Is Short; Live Your Dream

IT is probable
that the most painful phase of life will be when, all is said and done, one
looks back and wishes one had done some things one was passionate about earlier
on in life. The truth is that by taking the appropriate steps now, one doesn’t
have to experience that phase in one’s lifetime. One can live fulfilled, even if
one doesn’t become the richest man on planet earth. This article shows you how
to, slowly but surely, live your dream.
Let’s
first establish and agree that one can live his dreams, infact millions of
people are living their dreams, and you can be one of them.
July: 2nd Half, 2nd Chance

IT'S July, the
second half of the year. For many people, they don’t want to imagine it; there
are still a lot of unmet expectations, broken dreams and tough unachieved
targets, and the clock is still ticking. Well, the clock is created to tick,
and you and I can really do nothing about it. So this is
surely not a time to despair, rather it’s a time to overhaul and advance. Growing
up in the 1980s and 90s, I used to enjoy watching an interesting Nigerian TV
programme called 2nd Chance.
Basically, the programme was about...

Don't Go Broke Looking Rich

RECENTLY, I
read an interesting quote on the Facebook wall of someone I call ‘Nwanne’,
meaning brother, and he is indeed, Obinnaya Uruakpa. The saying reads, ‘Don’t
buy that $300 bag to have nothing in it. Buy that $10 bag to have $290 in it.
Don’t go broke trying to look rich’. Waoh!!! This is both simple and profound. Are
you broke but trying to look rich? I’m almost certain you know someone who is literally
speaking, in the business of ‘impressing’. Once my friend flew to London….

LISTENING to
Bishop TD Jakes talk about focus and intentionality highlights the point that
many people and businesses struggle for one major reason; they strive to be all things to all men rather than being
something to some men, in other words, they lack focus.

Are You Ageless? - Important Life and Business Lessons
 |
| photo courtesy of chimeedwards.com |
FOR a
while, my two beautiful girls have been asking me of my age. In a discussion
with them, ‘Glorious God’ by Elijah Oyelade, the popular Nigerian worship
leader, was playing in the background. After a while, the song referred to God
as ‘ageless’. My curious girls immediately asked what ‘ageless’ means. I
explained that it means someone that no one knows his age, like God. One of
them retorted, ‘Just like you Dad, you are ageless, we don’t know your age'. I
completely cracked up. Me ageless? I am not God. I couldn’t hold my laughter.

Important Rules for a Happier You
 |

EVERYONE,
well, every normal person aspires to lead a healthier, happier life. I guess
you too want to live a happier life. Some environments have made us erroneously
conclude that being happy is directly correlated to being rich, or having
plenty of money. Nothing can be farther from the truth. I guess you know or
have heard of the popular saying that ‘the rich also cry’, indeed they do. This
is however not to discountenance the solutions that having money can provide.
Like James my friend will say, he prefers to cry like a rich man than a poor
man. The cry of the rich he will say has rhythm and melody while that of the
poor is uncoordinated. Don’t mind James. The point here however is, be rich,
but don’t seek happiness in riches. Happiness is found in the simple everyday
things of life. Here are some important points.
Who Loves You, Unconditionally?
 |

I
want to ask you a very probing question. Who loves you,
unconditionally? This question is informed by a post I read on Facebook.
The post reads and I quote, “Don’t be deceived, most
people don’t love you as they claim. They just love what you can do for them.
The day you stop or are unable to continue that which you do for them, their
supposed and professed love ends.”
What Successful People Do To Win Friends And Business Opportunities That You Need To Know And Do Also

IT is so refreshing to have the skills and
indeed power to make and win friends, and influence people at the snap of a finger. Throughout
history, most of the greatest people who lived have this skill. You too should.
Like I will always say, it is no use re-inventing the wheel which men like Dale
Carnegie perfected. Have you read the book,
Exposed!!! Understanding The Purpose Of Money

SOMEONE,
I would call Tony, once went to the National Hospital in Abuja, Nigeria, to see
a friend at the Accident and Emergency ward. As he walked towards a lady, wearing what was a
hospital coat, to make enquiry, he heard someone crying behind the flowers. On
a closer look he saw it was a woman clutching a baby, maybe 3 years old. The
baby too was crying apparently distressed by her mother's tears. As he looked
at the mother and child, imagining what could be the matter, the lady in robe
called his attention.

Recently, I traveled by
road from Lagos to Abuja in Nigeria. By Ibilo junction, a popular joint known
for its local delicacy of fried yam and bush (roast) meat, our bus driver
pulled over for passengers to eat and stretch out. I couldn’t wait to sink my
teeth in those sumptuous yams, with a cold drink. For environmental reasons, I
am not a bush meat fan.
