We've already established the fact that success is largely a product of a mind that has been made ready for it. Now we'll look at HOW TO BUILD AND DEVELOP THE MIND. This parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer heard the mule praying or whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together, told them what had happened, and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery. Initially the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back, a thought struck him. It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back, HE WOULD SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP! This he did, blow after blow. “Shake it off...

Your mind is your palace, in it you are whatever you choose.

The most lucrative occupation in the world today is not ICT, there are many ICT professionals with debt. It is not medicine, not all medical doctors have it made. It is definitely not law, education, agriculture or any other profession you can think of. It is nothing you go to school to learn either. Some of you might be thinking it’s entrepreneurship. Well,   take a break and recall that man or woman (or even you) you know, who has failed or is struggling with that business venture. Remember? Now let’s proceed. I know the suspense is already building up. Some of you are asking, “what is he talking about?” What then is the most lucrative occupation?” Here it comes. Ready? The most lucrative occupation in the world is, and has always been the ability to use your mind to think and generate ideas. I will save us the time of having to outline the list of names of several legitimate millionaires and billionaires all over the world today, but no matter what they do or how they...

Let's look at things from a different angle today. So instead of discussing what you   stand to gain by exercising, we'll discuss the dangers you expose yourself to by not exercising. A sedentary lifestyle is a life with very little or no physical activity. This lifestyle is one of the most deadly killers of our day. Have you ever heard the expression, “An object in motion tends to stay in motion.”? Well what do you think a sedentary object is going to continue to do? Humans are pretty habitual creatures. It’s much easier to continue to do something from a formed habit than to step outside a comfort zone and try something different. If you have formed a habit of a sedentary lifestyle, chances are you’re going to continue until you either hit rock bottom, have a life changing experience, or find the motivation to get moving. The latter is what this article is aimed at helping you achieve.   A sedentary lifestyle is a bad habit. The good news is, you don’t have to be...

As an African living on the African continent, I step out everyday to literal images of poverty, lack and ignorance. This is a continent blessed with numerous natural wealth. My own country (Nigeria) is a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Agriculture yields abundantly because the land is rich and fertile. The entire continent is so beautiful – although I know very little about economics – I think tourism alone if and when really developed could significantly alter each country’s per-capita GDP. After World War II, most of Asia was on the same level, if not worse than their African counterparts. But the story today is painfully different. The likes of South Korea and Singapore amongst a host of others have grown from underdeveloped countries to first world countries. Worst still, they’ve achieved this without the advantage of the natural resources which are so abundant on the African Continent. What then is the difference? The answer is simple, minds...
