The Distance Between Success And Failure Is You - Part II

Danny: “Paul, I will repeat to you some of the things you said to me so that Tom can also learn from them. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Andy you too can listen carefully. Here we go. You said life is real hard, especially for you, right? You believe you are not smart enough or have enough education to make the big bucks, correct? You also believe that it is real hard and difficult to make money, isn't it? You believe all the rich people are crooks, which implies you'd rather be honest than rich - be honest and die wretched, correct? You further believe you will never be rich, that you have to work real hard for your money, and that is only when you have enough money that you can make money to work for you, correct?  You also believe that in order to succeed financially it will take a lot of hard work, sweat, suffering and struggles. Correct? And we're not finished yet because you also believe you never get any breaks and that maybe this is your fate in life, isn't it? Did I miss anything?"

Andy: “Absolutely nothing.”

Paul: (In a sad tone of voice) “you covered just about everything"

Danny: (he laughed) “congratulations, Paul. With all those beliefs and thoughts in your mind, you are not attracting success to you; you are not a success magnet but a failure magnet. You cannot succeed that way, because you have programmed wrong things in your mind and you cannot reap from your mind (life) what you did not sow into your mind except by stealing from others which is not legal. And no thief is ever bold of what he has.”

The Distance Between Success And Failure Is You - Part I

Do you know that the distance between success and failure is you?

I would like to narrate a story of a man, Paul, who was a Supervisor at a shipping company. He was born and raised up with a wrong mindset against the rich which affected the way his life turned out to be. Fortunately for him, he met a few of his classmates who made him to reformat his mindset to eliminate all the weed-seeds of wrong notions about riches to a more successful-driven mind. For Paul, his story was about a person who was covered with the ashes of poverty to a person that was quaked into riches; he re-wrote the history of his lineage from failure to success.

Paul was a very vibrant and hardworking young man who always goes the-extra- mile to pay his bills and sustain his aged parents. But one day, he got frustrated because he was not getting what he expected in life: he was not earning enough money to pay all his bills again; he was not meeting his demands; he was not having influence among his peers.

Hence, he ventured into other new businesses that could generate more money for him and perhaps make him more famous. (Just like what most people do today). Unknowingly to him at that time, he was chasing success away from himself because his mindset towards the rich and the successful was very negative. He was working against the universal law of attraction that says "like attracts like", or the law of sowing and reaping that says “whatever a man sows, so shall he reap". So, Paul's negative mindset (attitude) was repelling success and attracting frustrations and failures to his works and world.

Challenges Will Give birth To A Better Nigeria, says Tinubu

All Progressives Congress (APC) National Leader Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu said at the weekend that the challenges facing Nigeria will give birth to a better nation.

He noted that the process of achieving the required result, though difficult, would lead the country to good fortunes, if undertaken.

Tinubu explained that the challenges demanded that the country changed from dependent on oil or fall by the wayside, adding that there was no third option.

The former Lagos State governor spoke in Abuja on Saturday at the dinner/award ceremony organised by the Ahmadu Bellow University Alumni Association.

Saraki Should Step Aside As Senate President By Reuben Abati

The present Senate serving the Nigerian people runs the risk of being remembered as the worst since 1999.  Public Relations Consultants and media officials of this particular Senate have done their part flooding both the print and the online media with details of how productive the Bukola Saraki-led Senate has been, and they have been quite aggressive in telling us about 30 important Bills which when passed, will change the face of Nigeria and deliver change. 

The Senate according to one report has considered over 125 bills, debated over 48 motions, and passed three bills. But nobody is apparently impressed. During the Jonathan administration, the Senate was the better regarded of the two legislative chambers. While members of the House of Representatives in the Seventh Assembly behaved as if they were a band of students’ unionists, the then Red Chamber projected an image of maturity and temperance, even if it was also self-serving! With the 8th Assembly, the House of Representatives, apart from the shameful resort to physical combat over the distribution of “juicy” committees in November 2015, has shown itself to be better organized than the present Senate. The critical difference is that of leadership. It is one of management. It is a matter of weight and politics.

The Naked Words (2)

“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. That surrender, even the smallest act of giving up, stays with me. So when I feel like quitting, I ask myself, which would I rather live with?”

Naked Words

"If you want to succeed in the world you must make your own opportunities as you go on. The man who waits for some seventh wave to toss him on dry land will find that the seventh wave is a long time a coming. You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the roadside until someone comes along and invites you to ride with him to wealth or influence."
