Don’t Build Your Life On Public Opinion

SINCE the last US presidential election, the media have been awash with talks and stories on the elections. Some people are yet to overcome the shock of a Donald Trump victory. I have seen and read a lot about lessons from his victory. One lesson stands out, and this piece is titled after it: ‘Don’t Build Your Life On Public Opinion’. I don’t know the original author.

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.

Take Action Now

TODAY I share a thought by a great motivational speaker and my friend Bismark Tay from Ghana titled ‘Take Action Now!’

Action is the most important word on the journey of success. Many have heard of it, many more have said they'll embrace it but few actually do. For almost everyone, there's always something that needs to be done. Something new or something old and it’s either difficult or easy. At every point in our lives, there's always the need for us to take some action. Sometimes it's a decision, other times it's something we need to do. Our lives are just like a brick wall. The actions we take each day are the bricks that we lay to get the kind of walls we want.

Make That Move Right Now

GROWING up in the 1980s, there was this popular song by Shalamar, ‘Make That Move Right Now Baby’. Remember it? Its old school now. That was any DJ’s favourite. It was guaranteed to bring legs to the dance floor. I remember my uncles and aunties always rocking this song. Growing up was fun. Well this is not the focus of this edition.

Make that move right now was actually inspired by my meeting a business associate recently. I belong to a couple of groups on WhatsApp. 


Humanity in Business Series: Be A Mentor

IN a recent survey, many people said that one of the topmost items on their personal agenda is to make their lives count for a purpose bigger than them. This is indeed noble and commendable. It’s likely also that you share the same sentiment. We most are agreed that life must not end with us, that life, no matter how beautifully lived or wealth acquired, is not an end in itself. Indeed, we agree that life is more than food and clothing, even when we lack these basic human needs.

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.

THIS is the concluding part of the series started last week aimed at improving your public speaking capabilities. The response has been interesting. It is heart-warming to note that many people are interested in dealing with glossophobia (please refer to the last post) and developing their potentials to “waoh” their audience and create better impact and increase personal productivity.
